Santa Rosa Sheriff has his own theory on recidivism rates
Wonder where the “frightening and high” or “it’s not a matter of “if”, but “when”” myths come from? Statements like the one from Santa Rosa Sheriff, Bob Johnson.
In this article (concerning a police sting) he was quoted as saying the following:
For parents, Johnson said this should scare you to death.
“You should monitor what websites they go to and stay on them,” Johnson said. “They don’t have privacy in your home, they belong to you and if you don’t keep track of what they’re doing, this is what’s coming for them. Scumbags like this. This is all they do. They are looking for little girls and little boys to have sex with and they will travel to do it.”
“You can incarcerate them forever, they can die, or you can cut off a certain appendage,” Johnson said. “That’s the only way it’s going to get fixed. These guys are predators, and they are coming for your children.”
Anyone want to bet he’s running for re-election?

Well if we were ALL “Predators” wouldn’t the judge have ruled us as one? One mistake does not make one a predator.
Sheriff, when one of your Deputies slams a suspect to the ground and busts their face open, only to later find out they had the wrong person, what is the punishment? Are they fired? Sent to prison? Get put on a bad cop registry? We all know the answer, the department pays the Million dollar lawsuit and the deputy gets a 2 week suspension.
But when we who have served our time, get harassed just passing through your jurisdiction, it is pathetic and senseless.
Correction…a 2 week suspension WITH pay. Basically a free vacation on top of the vacation time already allotted.
Good Job Santa Rosa…However did you follow the Federal ICAC OIS? I have this feeling you didn’t and used adult websites and used bait and switch tactics (which is banned on websites and violates federal law) to lure unsuspecting men. Why would you use adult websites to catch child predators and not websites where children frequent? Ahhh… I know why to maximize your arrests, get bragging rights (and publicly solidifying their fate in court), and to garner more federal ICAC funding for the amount of arrests you get. There are only a couple of complete scumbags in this sting, most others are not predisposed to this crime nor do they even have a criminal record. (I’ve done my research). Each agency gets $300,00 per year from the federal government to do these “stings” as well as an undisclose amount of money for seizures and vehicles and property. ALso, an undisclosed amount for each arrest. So, Good Job Santa Rosa… Now instead of creating crime from your desk, go out and hit the street and catch real criminals and find real predators and save real children, of which these stings do not do (i’ve done the research). thank you for wasting my hard earned tax dollars
I noticed in the Sheriff’s news conference that he avoided the question of what websites were used
“For parents, Sheriff “Hyperbole” Johnson said, this should scare you to death.” But if it does actually, in fact, scare the parents to death, who will look after their children??
“I’m sorry, Marsha, Jan, Bobby, Greg and you others, but your parents are both dead from reading a very scary news article.” said Alice, the Housekeeper. “You’ll all be sent to foster homes now. What a shame and good luck to each of you.” 😭😂
The level of hatred that Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson shows in his statement makes me wonder what’s Sheriff Bob has on his phone…I am just saying.
I would not be surprised at all what is there: “thou dost protest too much” immediately comes to mind. Time and time again it is true!
Always the low hanging fruit of misinformation when it comes to politics. Let’s stoke needless fear rather than using the tools and knowledge we have to fix the problem.
Thats just it ben it has nothing to do with stopping or protecting anything or anybody its about trying to get re-elected
At least he had the sense not to credit the registry or suggest its efficacy.
12 arrests, 11 of which involved ppl who’d never been convicted of a sexual offense and hadn’t been required to register.
Yes Jacob, 11 who were not, and 1 who was, showing the registry had done nothing to prevent the whole scenario!
