7 arrested in MySpace sting

Seven men arrested in Twiggs County child Internet sting:

Seven men from Twiggs County, Georgia have been arrested in an internet child predator sting.

Deputies teamed up with a group called Perverted Justice, whose workers posed as 13- and 14-year-old girls on Web sites such as Yahoo.com and Myspace.com. The men, ages 24 to 64, live in various parts of the state and are charged with a variety of charges such as computer child exploitation online and obscene Internet contact with a child. One man was a former high school coach, and another was a youth mentor at a church, investigators said.

Here is a link to their names and mugshots. For historical purpose, their names are Jeffrey Pansino, Shaharyar Rashid, James Ronald Cosby, Daniel Eric Bowman, Robert Elton Hill, Casey Dykes, and Kenneth Mack Smith.

If there are that many predators in such a small area I shudder to think how many must be in a big city.

    None of the seven are from Twiggs County some of them traveled 80 – 100+ miles to come to Twiggs County for the purpose of carrying out the crimes for which they have been charged. Various news articles state the city where each one of them lived. But yes, they can be found in any size city.

    There’s more to the story than what is in print…which is actually LESS to the story. Some were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and not in the serious way that the article makes it seem.
