right. this is the communication that we have between somebody using your screen name and a young teen and all of a sudden you re here. you, not someone else, your story doesn t make that much sense. now maybe i m skeptical i don t but i don t know who you are. i don t know who you are. i came in here. i was just telling that gate s open, come on in, okay? it just defied logic. and at some point in the interview, you can see that he knew that this wasn t going to work out to be a great story for him. what this sounds like, michael, is that you were coming here to have sex with a 13-year-old boy. hell no. why would you say these things to somebody who you thought was a 13-year-old boy. the computer, in the library, been using my name. so, it s one big mix-up? i m telling you what i came here. i don t have sex with anybody. not me. and if you were anybody that had access to my record, you d look at my record, figure out the only time i had any problems with anybod
here. if you have anything else you d like to say, fine. no, you re just doing a story and i got caught up in it, is what you re saying. but it s probably a very good story. anything else you d like to nope. you re free to go. why don t you come out the front way, if you d like. sure. i think sometimes these guys are trying to figure out how they re going to leave. if they go out a different door are they better off doing that? most of these guys are not harden criminals who are going try to run from police. once they see that they re going to be arrested, that a number of deputies or officers are there they pretty much cooperate. how old are you? i m stupid. how old? thoroughly, completely stupid. how old are you? 56. 56. i m stupid. i ve never done such a thing. god, please, please just go. and affects more than 5 million americans.
why do you hate to say that? because it s like i m old pervert, but girls your age are much more fun. i have conversations with people turn out to be guys, more than half the time, you know or turn out to be a very nice woman and that s basically how it goes out there. i don t you know what i mean? but if somebody tells you they re a 13-year-old girl don t you see something inappropriate about that? maybe so, but i had my i my big doubts that she was 13. but if somebody says they re 13 maybe you should just stay away? well, you re absolutely you re absolutely like i say a couple past experiences so that they re never 13, you know. so you visited people online? you visited people you met online who said they were 13 before? well, yeah, 13 or 15. so, it s not the first time you ve done this? well, wait a minute.
please sit down, relax. actually, i m not relaxed. i m not going to give an interview. you re not going to give an interview? no. i d just get in trouble. just silly. i was just bore and silly. what are you doing here? i m stupid. this is a guy who not only had been caught before by perverted justice and knew it, he had seen one of our previous investigations. and when he first showed up at the house, he saw police making an arrest just outside of our undercover house. so he leaves. he gets nervous. he calls the decoy. the decoys says, the cops are just doing a drug bust next door, don t worry about it. he comes back. why did you do it anyway? i don t know. i was bored. i just you know so you re bored, you re going to come over and try to have sex with a 13-year-old?
it s never ceases to amaze me in how one part of a guy s life it can be so totally normal, successful, and yet they have this secret dark side where they re trolling internet chat rooms for dates with teenagers. and what are you doing here, stephen? i was doing something that i shouldn t be. and what is that? why don t you tell me? sir, i just want to go, okay, please? what are you doing here trying to meet a girl who told you she was 13 years old, stephen? i never done such a thing and i didn t want to do it. why did you do it, then? because i i m stupid. how old are you? i m stupid. how old are you? i m thoroughly, completely stupid. how old are you? 56. and i m stupid. and i ve never done such a thing. god, please, please, just go. you can tell his first instinct was turn and go. then he thought better of it. we had a chat for a short while.
