You've probably seen the NBC show Perverted Justice. It's where some adults pretend to be children on the internet to trap some perverts into revealing themselves. Then when they show up to have sex with the young targets, they are humiliated and arrested. The same sort of thing happened in Great Britain -- with an unusual and very funny twist.The pervert is 68 year-old David Roberts (pictured), a retired former pub owner. Roberts like to cruise internet chat rooms in search of young girls. He thought he's struck gold when a 14 year-old girl chatted with him and seemed to be interested in his advances. He performed some lewd acts for her on the internet, and then arranged to meet her to have sex.
There was just one problem. The 14 year-old girl wasn't 14 at all. In fact, it was his 61 year-old wife. She had become suspicious of him, and got on the internet to see what he was really doing. All the time he thought he was talking to a 14 year-old, he was actually chatting with his wife who was on a different computer in the next room.
After he performed the lewd acts and arranged to meet her for sex, she reported him to the police. It was several weeks before he knew he had been talking to and turned in by his own wife. Needless to say, they have now separated.
Roberts was arrested, and they also found some child pornography on his computer. He was given a three year community order (which we in America would call probation) and was banned from contacting anyone under 18, either in person or on the computer. He's lucky. If he'd been arrested here in the States, he'd be going to prison just for the child pornography on his computer, let alone the rest of it.
I just love the fact that he was caught and reported by his own wife. That has to be the ultimate humiliation. And I doubt it will help him in divorce court either. I don't know how British divorce courts work, but I hope she's able to clean him out. He deserves it.
The only thing clear on that story is: Cheryl Roberts just hated her husband and she wanted him to commit the crime and be punished.
ReplyDeleteShe should be punished for fraud and induction to "pervert" behaviour as she has chosen to seduce and lead him to keep his activities instead of talking to him.
And is it not a crime that this lady created a teenager in a chat room? She certainly had loads of young boys contacting her, sending hot messages and maybe pictures. No one will ever know how she dealt with that...
So she said a message "popped up" and had his signature on it?? Funny... your own message won’t ever pop up like this. Only others people message can “pop-up”. You need to open the person chat to see whatever he said before... This is also a crime.
And now she’s an "hero", it makes me laugh.
You're being a jerk, Anonymous. Do you think the police didn't find evidence of this man's crimes on his computer? And what about the child pornography he had? You forgot to try and explain that away.
ReplyDeleteAt 68-years-old, this pervert should have grown up a long time ago.
ReplyDeleteAs my father used to say, "There's no fool like an old fool." He got what was coming to him.
She did the right thing, perhaps even suspected he was a perp.
ReplyDeleteBut there are some entitled people who refuse to see that the guy was out cruising for little girls and would prefer to blame another, like his wife, for example. Yeah, she probably lured him into something he had only done like, a thousand times previously.
Thanks CT and AA-
ReplyDeleteThis guy's a pedophile and his actions are indefensible. I'm shocked that Anonymous even tried.
