Sorry to A2 and the story
[QUOTE=MojoGuy;2860351]Would you mind giving us more details about how the dudes were set up in the sting?[/QUOTE]A newer provider on NR, Kandi, was busted in Indy. Uncle convinced her to flip and took her phone and NR profile password. A day after she was busted GRBoiler, a hobbyist from this board and NR was busted in a sting where he contacted her and asked her to come to his hotel in Indy. He was not from Indy but from Lafayette Indiana. When he was busted, he flipped and they now had the perfect sting set up. They had her profile on NR, her phone, his profile on NR and USA. LE posted an ad on NR stating she was seeing people, LE put up a false review by GRBoiler saying how great she was, they even answered PM's from mongers on NR who were just double checking the review. I'm not sure but I think they answered PM's on this board as well from mongers. I still have the PM from him after he was called out. You can go back and look at the posts. They busted eight people, it was called the Southport Eight Sting. I posted the first warning on here as well as NR. One of my good hobby friends was busted. I spent the night waiting at the jail to bail him out. I met one hobbyist at the jail who was being bailed out by a ex-provider friend of his. He and I became good friends. He changed his handle on NR to Oooooops and started posting both there and here about how he was caught, the circumstances, then he started researching stings and busts of prostitution in Indy. He really went out of his way to post a lot of information about stings and police activities. Started posting about the lady who was the LE provider in the sting. All of the other Southport Eight arrestee's were given the standard diversion program. The prosecutors went after him because he kept on posting on the boards. Even though he changed his handle they new it was him, but couldn't prove it. It pissed them off enough so much that when he went in to meet with the prosecutor about the possible diversion program, they had a book of screen prints of all his posts from all the boards. His lawyer called it Hearsay, the prosecutor called it circumstantial evidence. He refused to take the guilty plea at the time. They said we will see you in court.
Now enter a psycho provider and her past relationship with this hobbyist, not the one that bailed him out. She contacted Indy Vice and told them she had e-mails from the hobbyist where he discussed his posts and handles on the boards. She sent the e-mails to the prosecutor and they had another meeting with him and his lawyer. They told them that they were going for the maximum sentence for the crime in court if he didn't take a lesser deal that included a conviction and fine. His lawyer at this point advised him to take the lesser deal. He did and now has a record of soliciting prostitution.
Yes the Psycho providers e-mail pushed it over the edge but they were still using the screen prints of the posts on the boards. Yes the prosecutor could have gone after the maximum penalty anyway, they can anytime they want. My point is his posts pissed off LE, they were hearsay, but they used it along with other hearsay to persuade even a lawyer that it wasn't worth the risk of going to trial. It's called poker and the prosecutor played their hand very well, mainly because he pissed them off.
A2 I really didn't mean any disrespect at all. It's a true story, just check the links below. Yes maybe he needed another lawyer. The monger in question works away from Indy for extensive periods of time and the prosecutor told him he would be back in court once every two-three weeks so be prepared. True it was his choice to take the deal and be over with it. He could have fought it but the lawyer advised against it. The hobbyist was single, imagine what leverage the prosecutor would have had if he was married. So hearsay cannot be used in court, but it sure was used, at least in this case as leverage.
Here is the original warning when I though it was Sexy Raven escort service who was involved in the sting. It later turned out to be Kandi from NR.

Maybe the Wrong Thread, but
[QUOTE=FreckleFreak;2861768]The amazing part about the mongers on this board is they can think for themselves. For those that can't, if you click on the first link about the warning and go forward in time you will find additional posts from others about the incident. If you read the post from the monger, who was one of the eight, then you can also track his posts. You can also use the search tool. I hope this helps the not so fortunate on the board.

Proof is in the pudding but you have mud in your eye! Happy Fourth Of July! Rhymes doesn't it.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=MillitaryMan69;2861694]To prove he is right he quotes his own warning.

I get it though the timing makes sense. April FOOL.[/QUOTE]FF & MM,
Respectfully, I am not stepping into the line of fire here, but would like to ask a question of 2 super Seniors that I am learning a lot from, if I may?
What if LEO, and a big what if, were to take up userid's on Forums, and over time build credibility to said userid. Then, as known entities, garner PMs with various mongers who shared more than generic personal info or through real life contact get a concrete identity on a user?
Would that then be enough to make a bust or do you think it would possibly be judged as entrapment?
Anyone else can jump in, too (A2).
Respectfully,
AL.
