Florida’s 2nd DCA says Police Sting entrapped Defendant
Jason DeMare went on an ADULT website and initiated contact with AN ADULT. For days, they chatted and flirted while he believed the woman was 18, but on the fourth day she told him she was 14. She was neither 14 nor 18 and she was not a flirty female but an undercover officer. Each time DeMare tried to steer the conversation away from sex, the officer tried to steer it back. Each time he said he was not interested in a sexual relationship with a minor, the officer kept cajoling him and calling him chicken.
Sound familiar? It’s pretty much the playbook for these “stings”/”scams” run by Florida police departments. When I first heard some members tell me this story, I thought “yeah right”, but when I heard the same story over, and over, and over and read the transcripts in Trey Gennette’s case, I couldn’t believe law enforcement would get away with this and just how often they used these tactics to bait and switch someone into a manufactured felony.
When I asked why they took the plea? it was always because they were threatened with decades in prison if they didn’t.
There have been a few brave souls who put their foot down and took their chances in court. One such brave soul is DeMare. You can read his decision here:
If your situation is similar… maybe we should coordinate victims of these scams and expose the law enforcement “stings” that entrapped them?

I’ve been saying for 2 years now that these sex sting operations where police go to adult sites to supposedly catch “child predators” are a huge scam. We know it’s all about money.
Check out the podcast on Wrongful Convictions, False Confessions. What police do in these sex sting operations is just a more mild form of the tactics they use to force false confessions. In fact, some of them, after trapping victims in this scam, will use those more extreme, evil tactics to force false confessions to make these victims they trapped look like the child predators they desperately want to make them look like. We have proof of this.
We also know that there are many prosecutors, defense attorneys, and even so-called professional expert witnesses (possibly even some judges) that are a part of this scam too. There’s money and opportunities for job boosts for many people in this scam. They also use these same tactics that police use to force these wrongful convictions. It’s pretty much gaslighting. It’s what evil, entitled people who desperately want to get their way will do to convince others that the fantasies they have created are real.
We also know that hiding important evidence and other important information is another tactic they use to force the convictions of these completely created by them cases.
Now that there is no doubt left that this is indeed a scam, something even worse is that I truly think this is also a part of a cover up for actual child predators and for the sex trafficking business. I’ve been saying that for a long time. Someone needs to really look into that. At least, here in Texas there are signs that certainly make it look that way.
Why is Florida law enforcement allowed to create “criminals” where there were none?
Isn’t there real crime out there without making it up…or is it the “easy fruit” aspect of the “lazy” cop?
No – it is simply that the political power in Florida uses the fear factor of “sex offenders” to manipulate the public. Sex offenders are the common enemy that they can rally support against and distract from real issues and problems.
Couple that with the monetary incentive of creating a type of “criminal” that is a criminal for LIFE and therefore makes money for the state for LIFE!
Senator Lauren Book and her father lobbyist Ron Book exploit this to support their lifestyles. They profit from spreading hate.
Follow the money and you will find the ugly truth.
Yes, My case was vey similar. I hied one of the attys that woked on the Casey Anthony case. I was in caigs listlooking for a used dishwasher. A peson that I was communicating with said he had abused his child sexually and what did I think. I asked why and wanted to dop it. He insisted talking about it so I thought i could “Out” him. I was neve in touch with any child. Just this man who said he had a child. To try and lure him i showed interest. Wrong Move !!!
Turns out the man was an officer in Oange County. Thee was No child, the child was fictitious. So I am a sex offender with a child that did not exist. In fact on one of my cout papes whee it descibed the VICTUM it says ” No Known identifiable victum”
never try to beat them at their own game nor would any attorney advise you to do so as well. It’s a dirty deed they are doing and ruining lives. Those arrested are the true victims and out of all the cases that i’ve reviewed, which are numerous, very seldom is anyone seeking to do anything harmful to a minor. Its a scam called “cooking the books” I’ve written about this time and time again
Does DeMare have any civil recourse at this time? Because, personally, I would be calling every Shyster and Shyster law firm in the book trying to sue for damages. This took away over 2 years from Mr. DeMare’s life, which must have been a living nightmare for him!
I believe that we must start trying to hold law enforcement (and the courts) as accountable as we can – really hold their feet to the fire!
I know that this is a big topic of conversation in the current #BlackLivesMatter movement for police reform.
PS: Wouldn’t it be ironic if he found himself stuck on the registry because they refused to now remove him?
Bet they won’t remove him; it IS Florida.
there have been a few unsuccessful attemps to file civil suits from sting related cases. There is no constitutional right to be free from entrapment so you have to approach it by other means which did not happen in one of the cases for sure. Not one individual case is going to change the course of stings……its the overwhelming evidence from numerous cases and research that would need to be presented to a proper court requesting an injunction. Injunction is the legal means to at least temporarily halt stings and force the DOJ to investigate given the overwhelming amount of evidence that shows these stings are wrong. Its really not that hard to do, its just hard finding the legal help to do so. Hell, i’ve written a rough draft injunction myself but something of this nature would have little chance of success filing pro-se.
They obviously don’t follow the law. They think they can do anything they want too!
These shiteaters shouldn’t and don’t have the right to be even “sting” operations. Blatant violation of the 1st, 4th,5th amendments to the constitution… Being on a ADULT WEBSITE, means just that. These psychopaths get away with anything….
I still want them to explain the reasoning of how someone who goes to adult sites and chat rooms are somehow child predators. I seriously doubt ACTUAL child predators are lurking there on the off chance they run into a minor. Shouldn’t they be stalking the child chat rooms if that’s what they’re looking for? Just saying…
