Biggest “bust” in ‘Operation Twelve Parsecs’ is the operation itself.
In what is described as a “massive” five-day, dozen-agency online sting operation, the media highlights only 13 arrests.
The “massive” operation, called “Operation Twelve Parsecs”, involved a dozen local, state, and federal agencies, including; the FDLE, Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Department of Agriculture, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), the United States Marshals Service, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office, Gulf Breeze Police Department, Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and the Lake City Police Department. We’re not sure why the FDLE is even highlighting the results in a press release. It sure sounds like the operation itself was a big bust! 12 agencies, five days, only thirteen arrests! And for getting trapped in an online sex sting with a law enforcement decoy? It sure seems like the fish in Florida are no longer taking the bait if they averaged less than one arrest per day, per agency!

Calling a choice a mistake is a cop out.
Generally true but off topic.
I made a dumb decision and answered an ad on Craigslist. I feel like my punishment wasn’t as severe as it could have been seeing as I said no and walked away from the conversation initially. But when the person texted me later I caved in and went to the suggested meeting place. But since my release from prison eleven years ago, the label has made life more of a burden than it should be and I still get punished for a thirteen year old mistake.

I still use Craiglist (May be the only person on earth that still does LOL)
But I use it for selling things like furniture etc. Lately my luck has run out as it seems craigslist has run its course.
Having said that, where I live I think they removed the dating section all together, although I would never trust meeting someone from there. And if you do, make sure to meet in a busy place where there are witnesses and safe.
I know someone also posted about the 130 PFR’s that yielded 0 arrests. Question for all of you. Do you think it’s because we are on the Registry or do you think that majority of us made dumb choices. I think i had 4 PO’s in my 9 years 11 months and 13 days on Probation. One of them called me felony stupid. Not a criminal just bad choices. Also, I think the majority of us realize the pain we caused for everyone. I carry a ton of guilt. But God has been good.
Contrary to popular opinion, I think that 90%+ of all sex crime committed is the result of poor judgment. Not some mysterious, uncureable, phantom mental illness that many people and courts seem to think runs rampant. Also contrary to popular opinion, poor judgment is NOT a mental illness. That, more than anything else, explains why sex crime recidivism is so low (again, contrary to popular opinion).
Note also that when registrants get arrested, it’s always for a registry violation. And even in the few-and-far-between cases of a registrant that commits another sex crime, there’s never a concurrent registry violation to go along with it, meaning that they were 100% registry compliant. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the lawyers fighting registry cases never point that out.
I think this should be its one post on here. This is similar to the registry just not public and I am ex military so have friends effected by this. I tell them welcome to the registry just a different form
