Undercover NYPD Cop Catches Broadway Pianist Pedophile

in #story5 years ago

An undercover NYPD police officer posed as a young boy online, using the dating app Grindr, to try and find sexual predators who might be using the platform.

He ended up talking to a Broadway pianist, 26 year old J. Brown, who allegedly agreed to meet up with the young boy. Brown was arrested when he showed up at the address for the meet, filled with a backpack of condoms and lubricant.

It's alleged that the pianist had been told multiple times that he was communicating with an underage boy, that he was only 14 years old, but that didn't sway him. It's alleged that Brown continued to pursue the boy and traveled to Queens to meet him for what he believed was a sexual encounter.

When Brown was told the child's age on one occasion, it's alleged that he responded with "ha-ha nice". Followed by him sending sexually explicit images to the boy online.

If convicted, Brown could face up to 7 years behind bars for his actions, that's a shorter sentence than many cannabis have users faced.

It's almost as if the justice system finds cannabis users and sellers etc to be more of a threat to the community than sexual predators.

Previously, these sorts of sting operations which aim to find sexual predators online, have been able to uncover tens of thousands of pedophiles on numerous occasions.

There are thousands of them that are located just in the United States alone. I don't think the public has a close idea of just how many of these individuals are out there.

How Big Is The Threat?

One computer that had been seized just from one case alone yielded a customer database for sexually explicit child images that listed 100k+ names, email addresses, and credit card info.

Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, has made the news recently for the alleged connections that he had to such child predators and sex trafficking rings, but he is only one threat when there are hundreds of thousands more out there. In the United States alone there are almost 1 million registered sex offenders.

In the Catholic church, it's alleged that 2 percent or more of the clergy are pedophiles.

According to the FBI, child pornography and human trafficking are two of the fastest growing crimes in the country. Arrests for child pornography have increased more than 2000 percent in recent years. In just one country alone, it's estimated that some 100k children might be sexually victimized in the United States. That is a great deal of suffering and the media attention on this issue doesn't even come close to scratching the surface of the extent of this perversion.
