His exploits were fictionalized in a Hollywood movie, and now the true story of a one-time teenage informant for the FBI has a new twist.
Richard Wershe Jr. has filed a $100m (&73m) lawsuit against former FBI agents and prosecutors, alleging child abuse in connection with his time as an informant.
Wershe,now 52, spent three decades behind bars after a drug conviction.
Recruited at 14, he is thought to be the youngest FBI informant in history...

At least he doesn’t have an unreadable blog.
Stick it to the man, Richard!
Look under your car before starting and wear lots of Kevlar, Richard.
De-fund the FBI.

Excerpt:
“Had I not been an informant for the task force, I would never have gotten involved with drug gangs or criminality of any sort,” he wrote in the filing.
Wershe was “coerced” to continue the work, he said, despite what he described as an attempted assassination by local criminals once his link to law enforcement was suspected.
After two years working with law enforcement, Wershe was drawn to the other side. He told The Guardian in 2015 he was “blinded” by money, women, and material possessions.
He was convicted in Michigan at age 17 for possession of cocaine. His role as an informant was not admissible in court and he received a life sentence.
“I was misguided,” he told the Guardian. “I went down a path that I never thought would affect the rest of my life.”

Since they used/groomed him as a minor, I am inclined to believe he has a case.
But, then again, once he’s an adult he’s responsible for his own actions.
So not stolen yet but soon.
For child sex abuse involving his teacher lets say for example 17 makes him a minor. He was a minor when he committed these crimes they even happened before he was convicted of them at age 17.
I think he has a case we will see how far it goes.
He’d already been convicted by then. This was a serious screw over. Largely fueled by the fact that a lot of the folks he wound up gathering evidence on were powerful folks, untouchable by the law. So they made sure he paid. Basically the only reason he ever got freed was cause they’re all dead now. He should be suing a lot of estates too.
De-fund the Federal Government, and Public Skrools
Dealing with dirty cops at the FBI may pay off.
“His role as an informant was not admissible in court”
Perhaps a LEO or attorney can explain why this was so.
The bigger picture I’ve picked up over the last few years is this: when dealing with law enforcement, identify yourself and where you live. After that, STFU and demand a lawyer.
or claim racism and sue.
