More Stings Means More Lives Saved

     The United States needs more stings targeting child predators. Although they are called "entrapment," it is estimated by Sheriff Chris Swanson of GHOST that each arrest saves the lives of an average of 25 future victims, and these stings have a huge success rate. This makes sense. Whether turned on by young age or simply indifferent, most people busted do not wake up one day and decide to have sex with a minor, and the chance that they are all caught in their first attempt is impossible. The average sting anywhere in the United States can attract a dozen people or more in three or four days.

     Securing, by law, funding for a minimum of 4-26 stings in each state, every year (depending on the population), as well as training for officers and judges to ensure the best judicial result, would arrest roughly 9,000 more pedophiles and hebephiles every year and save 225,000 more children-- nearly 2.3 million less lives impacted by this disgusting crime over the course of a decade.

     Project Safe Childhood has arrested more than 100,000 sex offenders, and it is time to double the annual number of arrests if any progress is to be made.

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
