MADISON, Ind. (WDRB) -- Madison, Indiana's police department is working to keep potential online predators out of the county.

An undercover, online sting known as Operation Predator Net began in Aug. 2020. So far, the operation has resulted in 20 arrests.

As cases have started going through the court system, there have been several convictions.

The investigation works by detectives going online, undercover as a profile of a 14-year-old girl on social media. Police say several men have had conversations with the profile and driven to Madison, Indiana (sometimes from hours away) to meet the fictitious child for what are believed to be sexual acts. But instead, when the suspect arrives to town, he's met by police and learns he's been chatting with a detective online the entire time.

Maybe that’s why they accuse non-repugnants of doing that.

I have a theory that child molesters and other deviants see authoritarian roles like RW flack or religious clergy as the perfect disguise.

because that offers them so many advantages if finding victims and pressuring victims. Not that our theories are incompatiblle. Both may well be correct.

And then the right-wing conspiracy theorists accuse Democrats of being pedophiles. That should have been the first indicator.

The same goes for lying, cheating, voter fraud, infidelity, etc.

Mothersbaugh thought he was meeting a 14-year-old girl for sex when he traveled to Johnson Lake to meet her in August 2020. However, when he pulled into the pre-arranged meeting place, Mothersbaugh encountered police officers.

When he was ordered out of his vehicle and as officers attempted to restrain him, he forcefully resisted them.

“Mr. Mothersbaugh was clearly aware that the young teen he believed he was conversing with on social media was just 14 years old,” said Prosecutor David Sutter. “He initiated the conversation with the profile and the victim’s age was discussed.”

During the conversations, Mothersbaugh referred to the profile as “Sexy Butt,” discussed taking her on a motorcycle ride and referenced the “pleasure” he would give her.

Isn't that an offense punishable by summary execution? Or does Mothersbaugh - pedophile and terrorist - have some kind of immunity that others don't have?

They call us groomers. They target and threaten us. They portray us to be monsters. They swear they have to wipe out trans people and drag queens "TO PROTECT OUR CHILLRENS!!!!!111!1!1``1" When we're just trying to live our lives in peace and aren't doing a damned thing to kids.

Yet who is? Fucking incel scum like Dennis Motherfuckerbaugh. Fucking incel scum like Matt Gaetz. And many, many others who hold their bible in one hand, a gun in the other, all the while terrorizing people like me.

The last time I tried to get with a 14 year old, I was around 14 years old myself. I sure as hell haven't tried anything with a 14 year old at any time past my 18th birthday. And I spend as much time out of my day thinking about 14 year old girls as they people spend thinking about science.

9 years for this pedophile groomer incel? NOT LONG ENOUGH. Lock his ass up and throw away the key.
