Florida police (Grady Judd) arrest 277 including cops and doctors in sex sting
No Florida Sex Offenders Arrested by Sheriff Grady Judd
Sheriff Grady Judd held another of his “cutesy titled” sex offender stings, “Operation No Tricks, No Treats”, where he posts fake ads online and waits for people to respond to them.
Florida Sting Arrests primarily for prostitution
This time he netted 277 arrests, including a Sargent from his own police department. Judd is quick to point out that some of these “human traffickers” are doctors, teachers, pharmacists and, with a snarky grin shares the marital status of those he is shaming.
Notably absent from his round-up… Anyone on the sex offender registry.

Just curious if anyone has starting a letter writing campaign to Polk County officials to try and educate these people on the facts?
BTW – Grady is a pig.
I wish we had a way to track all of those arrested in these stings to see how many are actually prosecuted. I have heard that many of Shady’s arrests go unprosecuted because he does not follow the “rules” for these stings. The money spent doing these witch hunts takes on a whole new meaning when the public finds out that only a certain percentage actually get prosecuted for these fake crimes. I mean a Sargent in his own department? That is very odd! I have always said how gullible the public is when it comes to these stings. If a person would just stop and think for one minute that if this was such a problem then why do you have to create the crime scenario? Why don’t we see all these arrests when there is a REAL victim? You won’t because the REAL victims either do not exist or they are being ignored.
A bit of history here, Florida Statute 847.0135 Traveling to meet a minor for sex was codified in 2007. The odd thing about this particular crime is that the arrests for those who have violated this statute are exceedingly rare outside of a sting op. For example, one county in Florida had 4 arrests on record for traveling until January of 2012. That’s close to 5 years without any huge spike in arrests… until the stings. By March of 2012 this certain county had over 50+ arrests on record. Keep in mind that sting operations are conducted in answer to large volumes of criminal activity… er, right?
Unfortunately this kind of information isn’t readily available to most that have been coerced into these arrests. Why? When these guys are released on bond they have internet restrictions so most likely they are almost entirely relying on an attorney to be in the know and then have the skills to use that knowledge.
Responding to adds allegedly placed by prostitutes has become “human trafficking” just like boorish people who sexually harass other adults in the workplace have become “sexual predators. Words have meaning……or not.
Yes – the buzzword is “human trafficking”.
By traditional definition, going to a third-world country, snatching women, smuggling them into the country, chaining them in a dungeon to serve as sex slaves is what is generally thought of as “sex trafficking” Now responding to an ad for a prostitute has the same meaning.
All it accomplishes is that it makes it really easy for the guy who had a half dozen abducted Cambodian women in his basement brothel to explain away his crime. “Sex Trafficking… yeah… It was a lonely night, I went on back pages, called an escort…”
Everything is a PC buzzword sex traffickers used to be called pimps but I guess pimp didn’t test well in the focus group they needed a word they could say over and over again without offering anybody. Hypocrites
i may be wrong, but it seems to me that old Grady’s stings are targeting “potential johns” not “pimps.”
It’s low hanging fruit.
John’s are customers Pimp’s are facilitators or suppliers. The charge for such activity used to be called facilitation of prostitution or pandering which is what politician’s practice now
Grady also arrests the person who drove the alleged prostitute to the sting location and charge them with sex trafficking if his department is targeting prostitutes
It’s gotta suck driving for Uber or Lyft in Polk County.
SMH (shaking my head). Until all of us who are oppressed by this stuff learn to rise up and revolt, it will never stop. We will NOT be able to use the same justice system that oppresses us, to give us our freedom, but yet somehow, we still think we can. Sheeple…they’re really cute. Again, SMDH (shaking my damn head)…..and I betcha I know one way to stop Judd. But I can’t mention it on here because I might get investigated or something. In the beginning days of this country though, I guarantee you that’s how the citizenry dealt with idiots like this.
I love it. Not one registered sex offender arrested. This should tell them something. The “Witch Hunt” is out of control. I’m surprised the so called “LEOs” are not .,burning people at the stake in stead of arresting them.
I thought the same thing. After reading the entire report, It Said there was 2 Sex Offenders included in the people Arrested. I don’t believe that at all, because if there were any, They would of made “Headlines” !!!. I honestly believe that quote was slipped in quietly so it wouldn’t make Grady Judd look like a complete ASS !!. Because there has been NO MENTION of any Extra Offenders being included in that round up !!!. .
