To Catch A Predator Update: Appleton

 

     The inconsistencies within states regarding sentencing is sometimes hard to believe. Whereas the men caught in Milwaukee received on average a few years in prison, the men in Appleton, a city viewed as far more conservative, got off with far less punishment.

     Michael L. Krezinski was a welcome exception. He received a year in jail followed by probation until 2016 and registration as a sex offender until 2037, when he will be nearly 55. He had gone AWOL from the army and was rearrested in 2016, but I was unable to find details on either case. He lives in Racine.

     Ryan Gidlof of Menasha received a year in jail, probation until 2015, and registration as a sex offender until 2030, when he will be nearly 45. Not the best way for a young adult to start their life. 

     Neil Frank was sentenced to only three months in jail despite resisting arrest, and he was convicted for possession of child pornography in 2012. He was rearrested in September 2020 by the Department of Justice for enticing a minor. Because of his previous record, he will not get off easy. At minimum, he will serve 20 years, and he may face a life sentence.

     Wyn Adkins of Menasha, where he currently resides, was acquitted after his case was taken to trial and a jury of toothless inbreds bought his excuse of entrapment. At least any time his name is searched, this case is virtually all that pops up.

     Three convictions over four days after only four men of 72 who chatted showed up and an average sentence of nine months with early release and two men who reoffended. Not a successful sting.

    Thank you Matthew for the update and to whom ever posted it on Reddit. I am alarmed by results of this "sting" and have always been uneasy with how many register offenders live in Appleton near schools and parks.

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

     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
