When a Child Predator Gets Caught in the Act

In today's true crime documentary, we're covering a case where a child predator got caught in the act and analyzing the body camera footage from an educational legal perspective, with analysis on the police procedures by a licensed attorney.

[@corvinredacted]

If it's not illegal to misrepresent yourself as a child's guardian, it absolutely should be. Edit: Because people keep mentioning it. Yes, attempted kidnapping is a crime. However, you have to prove that they were attempting to remove the child from the location. Currently, it would seem that lying about being the child's parent/guardian is not considered enough proof of intent. It's this that I feel needs to change. Either it should be considered evidence of attempted kidnapping, or it should just be straight-up illegal. I understand that in most cases, lies of identity are protected under free speech. However, I think there is good cause to argue that certain, very specific lies are not allowed. For example, you can't lie to a police officer about your identity when they tell you to identify yourself during an investigation. Perhaps we could at least make it illegal to lie to a school/daycare/hospital worker, etc. about your guardianship of a child under their care. They are required to surrender a child to their guardian, so lying about this to one of these specific people should be considered an attempt to gain control of the minor.

[@TheGoatLocker]

Yup, and the law already makes it difficult to prosecute these weirdos. Now we have states and major political members trying to make it completely normal, calling them a "minor attracted person".

[@GamesCooky]

@@momma2thewilds88 Punching him in the face wouldn't solve anything. All that would do is increase the numbers of arrests, and complicate the case even further. People need to chill and let police officers do their work. As much as the father would love to see him get arrested on the spot, the police officers need to conduct an investigation before that could happen. In cases like these, investigation is extremely important in order to uncover the whole perspective of the crime. I have to give props to the police officer who managed to get a confession from him. Child predators are often full of shame when they get caught, so it's not easy to get them to confess. Especially not while out in public. Usually they tend to lock down and deny any accusations as a defense mechanism.

How you think the officers felt who also have kids trying to keep their shit together to conduct this investigation while also trying to keep the parents calm. All while operating in on the confines of the law to keep things admissable in court later so he doesn't walk. If those parents assault him he becomes a victim and they will lose the golden opportunity to interrogate him which would likely mean he'd have gotten over. Massive kudos to those officers doing that and keeping their own anger in check cuz it's not easy. Even more so after the guy attempted to assault him it is really hard to not want to do more than just place them on the ground. Because if they did and let their anger out on him they would end up in handcuffs later on and potentially lose your job amongst civil rights lawsuits from people who don't understand what's going on. That is not an easy process to be in it is very mentally taxing I get massive respect to those officers not everybody can do it.

he's also preventing the cops from doing their job. they can only keep him detained for 30-45 minutes without an arrest, they need more evidence and the more they keep him talking, the easier it is to get a conviction. parents needed to step back and let them do their jobs without them trying to jump in every 5 seconds telling them to do something that would allow the guy to get off with a trespassing charge instead of intent to kidnap. he would've been back in the streets than same night if the cops just threw him in the back of the car instead of doing their investigation.

Just to be clear.. he did not take any children from any schools. Nor did he say he had. He said he had visited other schools... at no point was any child harmed in any of this. He has no prior convictions. There is no evidence of him ever harming anybody. He may be charged for attempted kidnapping based on his 'confession', although if he has a half decent lawyer then that will be dropped as he made about 12 different confessions and it would be difficult to prove this 1 particular thing said out of 12+ things said was truth and the rest lies.

Omg. That makes so much sense. 😢

Jesus I didn’t even take that into consideration, sickening shit too think about

[@wtfmanicanthaveaname]

to play devils advocate he may have went to recovory mettings and rehab to to try to control his addiction to children. right after he said "i went but it didnt work" he starts admitting it. People like this have wires crossed and they know they do and cant control it, they know its wrong (unlike a sociopath) they dont want to but cant control the impulse. Much like an addict. 12 step isnt just for alcohol. A lot of drug addicts that dont even drink go to AA meetings. This seems to be an "addiction" that cannot be cured because after years in prison being raped and beaten they ALWAYS re-offend 100% of the time and should be culled. Most predators were victims as children and as long as we keep letting them breathe they only create more potentialfuture predators and destroy lives.

in prison, sex offenders attend "celebrate recovery" for their addiction too.

Or it could have been to convince police that he was a drug user in case he got caught.

i lowkey understand why the dad gets so mad talking to the cops cause they're so unclear on why that cant do anything

[@ferna2294]

The patience and skills that the last officer that questioned him had to get him to talk and keep incriminating himself are a 10/10. I´m pretty sure that deep inside him he wanted to put him down at that exact moment, yet he kept his cool. Good job.

The predator could be related to Epstein. He comes from the same tribe.

[@TheAnti_Devil]

no, the only reason why the cop was able to get that guy is because that guy is a absolute idiot. The cop had no skill at all here. I'm sorry to tell you, but this guy fumbled so hard that 90% of people could have pull this shit off like if he didn't say anything at all or just walked away they could've done anything it's just he was too stupid.

I worked at a therapy center that focused on PTSD. Had a police officer there that was very good at getting people to confess. Other officers told him they couldn't do what he did cause they would have strangled the person confessing. He put a lot of people away But in the end it built up with in said officer. Which is why he was at therapy for PTSD. Had he been doing semi regular therapy over the years it most likely wouldn't have gotten to the point of PTSD.

seriously, he needs to go up to detective

@@darkpheonix77 It must take its toll on someone´s mind. Repressing all those feelings must not be healthy, but he has made society a better place.
