One of the guys who work for me was arrested in one of those stings back in August. He went to meet(he thought ) a 14 year old girl. He has yet to be sentenced but it looks like he is going to get only probation.

He also has a prior conviction for selling vicodin.
When he was arrested I was warned by MY boss that he was not to be harrassed over this.
About the 3rd day he was back to work he came to me and told me it was bullshit that nobody at work would give him the time of day.I told him "WTF do you expect? Many of these people have kids that age!!" he said..well but I haven't been convicted yet.

He was arrested at the scene and has admitted to me that he has met young girls online before. He is 26
