Sitting in our hotel room, on Hayden Island, Oregon. Day three of our 2nd trial. We came into this trial with our eyes open. The state of Washington took my young naive son from me, as completely as if he had gone off to war. This time there was a jury, but instead of a scared little boy, they faced a man. Fully aware how his life was forfeited by his own government through complicity and complacency. Fueled by right winged paranoia, the lust for power, political gain, and a money hungry incarceration system, I am reliving my personal version of the ‘End of Days’.
As we did the first time around, we told the truth. But this time we also told the truth of the police.
- Why did you not follow your operation plan mission statement?
- Why did you not disengage when you realized he was not seeking a child.
- Why did you choose a picture of an adult?
- Why did you not clarify when questioned on age?
Detective Givens again perjured himself. Without batting an eye. Acknowledging that he purposely answered Jace ambiguously. Acknowledging that there was a point where he could have stopped, knowing Jace didn’t believe, but chose not to. Stating that had Jace disengaged, that they would have walked away, which we know from many cases is simply not true. Acknowledged that his statements contradict themselves.
The prosecution again twisted his words, applied their own illogical meaning, and seemed mostly unconcerned that their scheme ruins lives. The hypocrisy used was both flamboyant and egregious.
The jury has gone home for the evening, unable to reach a verdict after 4 hours of deliberation. It is my prophecy that this jury will not convict my boy. As I’ve found when talking to people about what happened, at least half of them have issues with how these stings are done. In my estimation no less than half of the jury are on our side. Unfortunately that won’t get us a win, and as we know these aren’t really ‘winnable’… but they also won’t get a conviction out of us. Not this time. Not ever again.
I anticipate a hung jury. If they want to try us again, Jace says bring it. We will continue to refine our arguments and extend our research into their racketeering machine. Their choice.
Love and support to you all.

Sending my best to you and Jace.

We will never give up until their full, twisted lies are fully exposed. These are truly dangerous people that have no business working in our legal system. They are the true criminals who have caused so much real harm and damage to so many people, for no valid reason at all. They’ve done it all just to create benefits for themselves.
There are no worse kind of people on this earth than those who exploit the vulnerabilities of others and abuse those others for the sole purpose of creating benefits for themselves, or even worse, simply because they get a sick thrill out of hurting others. That is what those of us who have been affected by a fake child predator sting operation have been dealing with. There are thousands of us. It’s the modern day satanic panic.
The people who have done this are really sick, twisted people that do things that have no logic or rhyme or reason. They will tell whatever lies they have to tell, just to get what they want. Narcissism is a real epidemic in our society, and we have so many of those working in our legal system. As we’ve seen and experienced, this is a very dangerous thing.
Those who have created these fake child predator cases are the ones that belong in prison. I truly mean that. They are the ones everybody else needs to be protected from. These people have shown who they truly are and what they are capable of doing. Let’s not forget that there’s always a lot more than just what we see.

Kathleen, your fierce love and protective instinct as a mother are clear as day, and Jace’s strength through this ordeal has been truly remarkable. The two of you together? Unbeatable.
Hearing about what went down in the courtroom just shows the corruption within our system. But your hopeful outlook on the jury’s discussions gives us all a glimmer of hope. The fact they’re taking time to deliberate really says something. It’s obvious some of them are having doubts about the way these stings are conducted.
If they decide on another round in court, I’m confident you’ll be even more prepared. Your drive and determination shine through, and they should take notice. Please keep us in the loop. Know that we’re here, rooting for you and offering all the support we can. Stay strong, continue to fight the good fight, and hold onto that indomitable spirit.

It is my prayer that the jury acquits your son. My Autistic son was caught in a sting in 2021 under very similar circumstances. At the advice of our attorney, and due to the ridiculous politics in TX, we accepted a plea deal in August of 2022 where he was given 6 years probation and then an additional 15 years on the registry. My 24 year old son took his own life here at home on May 19th due to the shame, humiliation, and loss of hope for his life due to this.

We are determined to change the injustices and it will take continued determination. We , in our Sacramento case, have waited for over two years for the DA to presenttheir case. It may or may not take place in Oct. Meanwhile the humiliation and painis continuing for this victim of a police sting on adult dating sites. Although I talked to two other victims in the same sting ( and have reason to believe thatthey took pleas even though they were innocent), I have not been able to get them tocome forward to protect another victim in the sting. They are suffering and are tryingto keep the incident and court process as far away from their memory as possible. I do have to say, there has been no supervision that I am aware of in our case.There is no reporting except to appear in court for the countless continuances.This is so disturbing. It has been a real void in communication, Hopefully, therewill be no major surprises in court
