There was a number of military men who got busted on To Catch a Predator. How was following week's Friday COB briefing?

I don't know if the guy I worked with was caught by Chris Hanson, but when I was at 1st Group in Okinawa, we had no less than three people go down.

One was an older, SFC, super smart commo guy. Apparently he was running a server on the dark net. People showed up and took him away in handcuffs and he was never heard from again.

The second, a very senior SF Team Sergeant with about 25 years in, was court martialed, reduced to E1 and received a bad conduct discharge in lieu of prison time. He was texting another service members 12 year old daughter inappropriately.

The third one was a brand new MI guy who was just weird to begin with. The Air Force Investigators set up a sting house on the base. Apparently there are enough predators running around Kadena that he wasn't the only one caught.

Back in 2004 when we returned from Deployment we had a SSgt get arrested by NCIS as soon as we got off the buses at the Battalion area. He stepped off the bus, they flashed a badge and a Marine from the armory collected his weapon and serialized gear before they carted him off. Most people didn't even notice or see it happen. Evidently he molested his kids and they told their mom during the deployment. The entire investigation was completed while we were in country and the last thing they needed to do was collect him when our Bn returned. It was pretty wild.

I had never heard of Hansen before, the internet certainly has!

Police issued a warrant for Hansen's arrest after he refused to speak with them.
