“Pushback”???
Must be from democrats.
“But unlike the Frankfort arrest, no charges have been filed against the former teacher. That’s because after years of dealing with vigilante catcher groups, Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman is fed up with their tactics and refuses to take their cases.”
Protector of child predators.
“What if police are already working a child solicitation case and are thwarted when a catcher group stumbles into their investigation?”
Somehow I think that’s unlikely in Hoffman’s world.
Need some groups to go after female teachers.
This man is bringing attention to and evidence against several sex predators. That’s great but the way he does this work is extremely dangerous. When people know they’re about to lose everything, their job, marriage and reputation they are like cornered rats with nothing to lose.
Maybe he’s fine with the risks. Some people are attracted to endeavors that are highly risky and unpredictable. He probably has someone armed nearby but in the shadows.
Hmm what movie is that from?
Unless it involved a child of a big political donor. And then only maybe.
If you are "lonely" you look for people of your own age.
Not minors.
That scene is from the 2015 Adam Sandler movie called The Ridiculous 6.
“Others see them as untrained vigilantes who sensationalize what should be hard-nosed police work.”
Yeah. The “others” are the bad guys.
Absolutely no question about it.
He should be investigated immediately.
One thing about these criminal cases makes no sense. How do you charge someone with a crime like this when there’s no child/minor involved? I would think the case would fall apart as soon as the “minor” is put on the witness stand and he turns out to be a 30+ year-old dude.
“The catchers then set up a place to meet.” Wrong move. The catcher should deliver the information to police rather than meeting the suspects. It takes massive courage for catchers to arrange meetings with suspects, for sure. I know a catcher here in So Cal and yes, he is very courageous and honest. But meeting suspects without a badge is weak.
Ah,I haven’t watched it.
Its an unpopular view but i agree with you.If an adult pretends to be underage,they are still an adult,where is the crime of 2 consenting adults chatting with each other?
THAT right there is EXACTLY what needs to happen to Fauxi, and a host of others of like evil ilk, but especially the Fauxi....rope dance deluxe with no hood.
I think something likes this gives the police to run an investigation and get a search warrent on the premises and PC. Also, I think it falls under the same kind of laws that will prosecute a person if they use a toy gun in a robbery. The victim does not know it is a toy gun. The intent - armed robbery - is the same. Now, I would like to see this expanded to those who throw water or pies at conservative speakers. It is assault and could just as well be acid or some other harmful substance.
The crime is one of the “consenting” adults believes the other is a child.
That’s a good point, but in a case of a sex predator and a “minor” there’s the distinction that the person using the deception is NOT the accused criminal. So all of the burdens of not only proving guilt, but supporting probable cause issues with warrants, weighs in favor of the accused criminal, not the accusers.
