Are you a victim of entrapment in a sex offender sting?

A prominent reporter from Central Florida who had written a series of articles on “sex offender stings” a few years back, highlighting the methods police departments used to entrap people into committing attempted “sex crimes” on an non existent victim, is doing a follow up investigation.

He is looking for registrants or family members of registrants, who were “caught” in an online sting conducted an an adults-only site, such as Tinder, Bumble, POF, Craigslist personals or similar. People who would have otherwise never engaged in any sexual misconduct, were they not coerced into chats with law enforcement officers that went awry.

If you were arrested in such as sting and would be willing to share your story in an effort to help expose the grievous wrong-doing that law enforcement is engaging in, please reach out to [email protected] with your contact details and some basic information about your case.

While those willing to share their stories will be given pseudonyms and the reporter will do their best to disguise their identity, the story will air on both television and in print and only those willing to appear (with their identities hidden), should reach out.

      Sue,
      We edited your phone number out. The only people you should be speaking with about your son’s case is a licensed and qualified attorney. If you need a referral, we can possibly help guide you to someone with experience in these types of cases, but this is not a forum through which you should be taking specific legal advice.

      My sympathies. I wish you and your family the best. If you like near Daytona Beach I would recommend contacting attorney John Revis.

        If you’ve just been charged with a criminal offense, the only person you should be soliciting advise from is your attorney. Be very careful what you post or say publicly because remember that anything you say can be used against you. That is why it is so important to have competent representation.

    My husband was arrested in a sting like that a few years ago and was railroaded into pleading to Federal charges. If anyone wants to talk to me, please feel free to reach out!

      My son was caught in a sting 9 years ago. We are now at the end of the court system and feel/know that what they did was illegal. The courts are on the side of the police. He was only 24 at the time. How many more people will have their lives ruined.

      My fiancé and I are going through this situation right now. He was arrested in a sting operation and is currently incarcerated in Florida. HIs attorney was inexperienced in these types of cases so he was given a very harsh sentence. The years behind bars are not as concerning as the years on probation. Can anyone recommend a good attorney that deals with these types of cases? Also, has anyone heard of any special cases where these types of offenders are able to live with their children even on probation? Just trying to have some sort of normal life when he gets out. Thanks for your help.

        Have you spoken to any of the attorneys on the FAC Attorney Referral webpage?

        An FAC conference call featured an attorney who is very experienced in these types of stings. FAC/anyone remember his name?

        I live with my children while on probation. It’s not a ‘special case,’ as you characterize it. It just depends on what his conditions say in his judgement order.

        If you’re in the Daytona Beach area, I would recommend Attorney John Revis.
