Cops Plotting Bizarre Gay Sex Sting Terrorize Disabled Child and Brutalize His Caretaker

A sex sting went terribly wrong in Southern California, and now the victims of zealous police are suing, the Courthouse News Service’s Matt Reynolds reports. The suit concerns an incident where Manhattan Beach police arrested a disabled child’s caregiver while they were cracking down on gay sex in public rest rooms.

Charles Couch has filed a lawsuit in federal court against the police and the city of Manhattan Beach, and his photo was plastered over the Internet in news reports about the sting, which netted 18 people.

On March 9, 2012, Couch was caring for a disabled child. The child has a genetic disorder-- Prader-Willi Syndrome--whose symptoms include mental retardation and arrested sexual development. He took the child to the bathroom at a beach restroom.

It takes longer than usual for people with the genetic disorder to go to the bathroom, Couch said, and so he waited for the child to finish. Then, a detective named John Nasori entered the stall and frightened the child. “A few minutes later the child bolted from the stall, rushed up to plaintiff and whispered, 'There is a man looking at me in the stall!'” the lawsuit states.
