BOR,
I cannot imagine anyone having a conversation about sex with a toddler. It is difficult to imagine anyone having an obsession/addiction that would cloud their judgement to such an extreme.

In Federal Prisons the guard for suicide watch is one-on-one 24-7. The room usually has nothing that can be used to commit a suicide.

That's sick. He should have went to prison. Death is to good for him.

BOR, do you remember the Murphy, TX DATELINE sting? Louis Conradt, a assistant DA, was among the men investigated for chatting with a minor. But what makes it really interesting is the fact Conradt shot himself before the police could get to his door. His wife (or maybe sister?) is now suing for 2 million dollars.

Whats really interesting is how the top DA dismissed ALL the charges following the sting. He stated it was on grounds of entrapment, but some say he did it to honor Conradt.

No, I never heard of that case.

I wonder what the causes of actions are?

If he was already charged/Indicted when he killed himself, then a Prosecutorial dismissal by abatement is standard, it is as if the charge were never brought in the first place, since you can't prosecute a dead man.

They are suing dateline for "forcing" him to kill himself, basically. A settlement has already been offered.

The DA dismissed the charges of everybody else involved in the sting as well.

Thanks for the link BE. Oh I see they sued Dateline now, I thought it was the government/police.
