To Catch A Predator Update: Flagler Beach, Part Two

If there is a prick who deserved harsher punishment, it was Anthony Phillips. Known for his love of gator hunting, he chatted, showed up, and got convicted on the same day. He pled guilty to 2 misdemeanor counts of child endangerment and received 2 years probation, which ended in 2008. He was later hired as a deputy in Kentucky but fired in 2019 (just 6 months later) after his prior conviction was revealed. He has gone on the news to defend himself and say he can't be bad because he has faith in Jesus.

Some men have avoided punishment by committing other crimes. Chemistry teacher Deepak Bist was convicted and sentenced to 1 year and 9 months in prison. He appealed to the Florida Supreme Court and lost, and absconded to Nepal. He remains wanted to this day.


Mohammad Abdallah fled rather than fight his case. A warrant for his arrest was issued in 2008 and he, like Bist, is wanted. He is believed to be in Egypt.


Yazan Asfour was a former Jordanian basketball player who had been caught by amateur predator hunters in his native country. He wanted to be a human toilet and, allegedly at the advice of his lawyer, fled to Jordan before his trial. He remains wanted to this day.


Safraz Khan showed up at the same time as Asfour, the first double interview in show history. He was sentenced to 1 year and 3 months in prison. In March 2012, he was arrested by ICE and spent the next 4 years and 8 months in prison fighting his case. He was deported to Guyana in November 2016 after a total of nearly 6 years in prison related to the case.


Michael Collins was sentenced to 10 years of probation and lifetime RSO status despite trying to solicit a child to get another child for a threesome. He remains on probation to this day.


Oanh Le was sentenced to 10 years probation and lifetime RSO status. His probation ended in 2019. In 2011, he was featured in the news for lurking near a bus stop, which was clearly predatory but not technically illegal. I recant my earlier statement: Le deserved 6 years in prison and ultimate deportation like Khan got.


Samuel Harrison, on the other hand, got a fitting punishment: 1 year and 1 month (13 months) in prison for trying to have sex with a 13-year-old. He was released in 2008 and remained on probation until 2013, and he must register as a sex offender for life.


Anthony Sorrentino, like Harrison the football player, was a sports enthusiast. He received a year and 5 months for the half hour he spent chatting with and driving to meet a minor. He remained on probation until 2015 and must register as a sex offender for life. He tried to find a job on hireexfelon.com, but it is unknown if he was successful.


Brian Dory received 2 years in prison and remained on probation until 2017. He will be an RSO for life, and, like many Flagler predators, he has a virtual junkyard of vehicles.


Daniel Peter Kelly was sentenced in 2010 to 2 years in prison, and he remained on probation until 2014. He is notable for the fact that he is the only Canadian and sole scientologist caught.

To Catch A Predator Update: Darke County

        Kevin Westerbeck was convicted in November 2006 of luring a child in Darke County and had 9 months added to his sentence of 11 months for soliciting a police decoy in Fairborn in 2005. He was also convicted of molesting his niece and sentenced to another 10 years as well as lifetime sexual predator status. He was released in December 2016, and he has been spotted stocking shelves at a Kroger store.       Jeffrey Stacy was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in jail, forfeiture of his car, probation until 2010, and sex offender registry until 2017. He was removed and later got married in 2018, his wife an ugly brute who apparently has no problem with child molestors. He was recently fired from a position instructing children at a karate dojo after his TCAP appearance was uncovered.       Timothy Isaac was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 8 months in jail and RSO status until 2017. He was removed then, and little is known about his life since then. He, unfortunately, did not

The "Jesus Rocks" Predator Is Telling Lies Again

Image
     Matthew Clifton Cogburn was born on July 22nd, 1984, in Gray, Georgia, where he was raised and ultimately spent his life. Apparently, his childhood was fairly normal for a kid in Georgia: he spent eight years flattening out a pile of dirt near his home, enjoyed playing with LEGOs, was an average student in school, and was raised as a very religious child, attending church camps every summer. He graduated Jones County High School in 2002. Around 2004, he began chatting with strangers online, later attributing it to "undiagnosed OCD," a subpar explanation at best.      Cogburn worked and attended college in 2006, bouncing from apartment to apartment during the school year, and his employer had enough faith in him to actually give the man his job back after a minor setback occurred in the form of Cogburn's appearance on To Catch A Predator in July of that year. He earned a pair of handcuffs in Fortson, Georgia, just outside of Columbus and two hours from his home. Howev
