Sturgis Bikers Sentenced To Prison For Child Solicitation

     A Rapid City man was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison followed by five years probation and lifetime registration as a sex offender; he will not be eligible for release until 2034, as federal prisoners are required to serve a minimum of 85 percent of their sentences. Jonathan Andrew Whitney was busted in 2019 by federal authorities conducting a sting to coincide with the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. He thought he was soliciting a 15-year-old girl, but was instead greeted by agents.

     Carlocito Slim, an Arizona man busted in the 2017 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, was convicted of two federal offenses: attempted sex trafficking of a minor and enticing a child. He thought he was speaking with a pimp and arranging to pay for sex with a fictional 15-year-old prostitute, but was, once again, speaking to federal agents. Because he came from much further than Whitney and attempted to solicit the decoy via a prostitute (hence the human trafficking charge), he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison.

     Beware, those few bikers who decide to hurt children rather than help them (I have a friend who organizes motorcycle events to prevent human trafficking), that authorities will continue making arrests and continue getting convictions.

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
