This makes me ill

The coverage is going a bit overboard I think. It's being played out as a trashy scandal instead of news. Shame on you Paula Woodward.

Even though they shouldn't have been soliciting sex with a minor, to entrap them, video tape the sting, the arrest, the bail, and everything else, is excessive and vitriolic

Predator suspects answer questions (sort of)

JEFFERSON COUNTY - What do you say when you're bonding out of jail charged as an internet predator and a tv reporter with a camera wants to talk with you?

That was the dilemna of 14 men caught in an internet predator sting. Eight law enforcement jurisdictions and more than 100 law enforcement officers joined up in the two-night on-line operation.

The 14 arrested drove to a private residence in Jefferson County hoping to find an underage girl for sexual contact. Swat teams caught them instead. 9News documented the sting operation from the initial planning throughout the arrests and was allowed inside the on-line computer chat center and the arrest staging operation location.

The 14 men held a variety of jobs. One was in construction and visiting from Farmington, New Mexico.

There was a delivery truck driver for a local restaurant, an employee of a cable tv provider, a customer service representative of a satellite tv provider, a computer consultant who also volunteers for Summit County Rescue Group, a wrestler who was paying to train at the Olympic Center, an auto parts salesman, a self-employed window installer, an assistant manager for a national discount chain store, a lube technician for an auto parts store, a dairy worker, a student teacher, who was also licensed as a substitute teacher. The teacher is no longer working as a student teacher.'
