I won't visit! Stayed at a few in the past and when you can't sleep because all the activity going on through the night, and you see reports like this after confirming what you thought LOL.

I agree. That place is bad news.

Long ago I adopted the policy that if the hotel has a number, compass direction, or a color in the name, I would need a great deal of incentive to go anywhere near it. Someone on Scorps said that and it stuck with me.

I've limited my hobby hotels for a long time.

This one has been on my do not go list for over a year.

This is an excellent reminder for us all that we need to stay vigilant and on our toes for ALL of our appointments.

There are people out there that will take advantage of us in many, many ways (including robbery).

Luckily, I've only been burned for cash (twice) and nothing worse.

Stay safe boys, and remember to ALWAYS use your big head when in doubt about anything.

Just pitiful that some people have to ruin it for everyone!!

I always do my best to let clients know that they are in a safe environment upon arriving!!

I refuse to let assholes doing shit like this get free publicity on this forum. I know you're not endorsing them but posts like this make people click the link, they get more traffic, more money from their ads, more resources to keep doing this shit.

We refuse to help them.

However, I will say that this can quickly get out of hand. I can see copycats going out and fabricating perps to get their 2 minutes of fame.

I agree with you on that. That's the real fear. Also, what is the whole transcript + ad situation? He states all the naughty / nasty / erotic things the guy says, but what about himself as the girl? That's just selected too in the video. Did he post on craigslist AS a 15 year old looking for some action, or even a date? Or only until chatting a bit he said he was a 15 year old teen, instead of 18? I'm not defending the guys there, and I have no sympathy for them, but there is something called entrapment. Hanson's show got hit for that.

And to be fair about Jared from Subway, some of the girls that got him in trouble that he aimed for were under 18, but the age of consent is lower in most states. However, if they're prostituting, the age of consent is 18. Although I have absolutely no sympathy for Subway dude by any means, "WTF" feelings shouldn't bend rules one way or another, and I like putting things in perspective for that they really are.

So I am concerned about where video vigilantes will go with things. Even if you're not doing something illegal, the cops + culture will go after you, which is why I strongly shake my head at such folk.

I really have a problem with guys knowingly seeking out children to basically rape. Outing them is fine by me.

I have to disagree slightly. Underage is too far for me, period.

Now, if he did decide that consensual sex between two *adults* was within his purview of vigilanteism, I'm behind you 100%.

I'm not concerned about the Chris Hanson wannabe shit. Its the certainty that eventually this white knight will feel the need to impress more of his own morals on others by playing cyber cop. I *hate* it when people do that shit.

[Mag Green]

Couldn't say it better.

While I'm not a fan of what this guy is doing I agree with Witnessing on this.

Sicko pervs seeking underage girls not only is wrong on its own but we adult seeking mongers get lumped in with them perception-wise in the public eye.

...Underage is too far for me...

I too don't have a problem if he maintained his present focus, but eventually he'll run-out of local guys who like teenyboppers and will likely want to focus on new targets. And since he's already had success on Craigslist, he'll probably keep trolling there.

Given the praise some such "video-vigilantes" have received in targeting working-girls and their clients, it wouldn't be surprising if he set his sights next on ensnaring guys using one of the "single mom needs help" ploys, similar to the scenario that helped bring-down Lansing's prosecutor.

I mainly wanted to use this as a reminder that we always need to be cognizant and skeptical when dealing with CL ads, especially if they involve us offering to "help" any single-moms we may encounter. Failing to properly phrase conversations about "help" can make all the difference between simply "discussing possibilities" and actually propositioning a person, with the enhancement of using a computer to do so.

Guys like this need to be beaten with a aluminum baseball bat. If anyone thinks they're getting worked, ill be more than happy to do snooping. Just PM me.
