$2M Legal Fees In Cases of Masturbating IL Inmates
By Crime and Justice News | June 5, 2019
Legal fees for cases relating to masturbating detainees at Cook County Jail could reach more than $2 million, reports the Chicago Sun-Times. The county board’s Finance Committee on Wednesday will consider the latest $486,216 in fees and expenses for five cases brought by public defenders, sheriff’s officers and other female county employees exposed to harassment. That is on top of nearly $1.7 million the board already paid out. It’s been dubbed an “extreme brand of workplace sexual harassment” by one state senator, who sought increased penalties for the lewd behavior.
The problem got so bad a federal judge in 2017 ordered all Cook County jail detainees with a history of indecent exposure, masturbation or sexual misconduct to remain handcuffed “at all times” during courthouse visits. Six employees of the Cook County Public Defender’s office filed a sexual harassment suit, saying the problem dated back to 2015. They described frequent encounters with detainees who would masturbate, sexually harass or expose themselves to lawyers during meetings. Dozens of female sheriff’s officers filed suit against Sheriff Tom Dart in 2017 and last year, alleging that he hadn’t done enough to protect them from near daily encounters with detainees who would sexually harass and assault them. The fees before the committee on Wednesday relate to five cases brought by public defenders, jail guards, a court interpreter and a nurse. Cara Smith, Dart’s chief of policy, said the cases have not been settled.

ReplyDeleteUpdate Ryan Laforge is expanding Creep Catchers to the USA starting in Utah. This dude has been sued in Canada for Civil Rights Violations.
SALT LAKE CITY — A couple is taking matters into their own hands in their quest to stop child predators.
They call themselves “Creep Catchers,” and they pose as underage boys and girls online.
“It is a huge problem, and we are completely inundated with Utah creeps,” said one of the Creep Catchers who asked to be referred to as Jo. “In the last year, we have probably talked to 1,000 creeps.”
The Creep Catchers say the men who contact the decoys often begin sexually explicit conversations.
“We don’t message pedophiles first — they come to us,” Jo said. “The creep always leads.”
Often, the men ask to meet the decoy, who they know is underaged, for sex. That’s when the Creep Catchers go to the meeting place with a camera rolling.
“We are lending helping hands and we are trying to hand them [law enforcement] cases,” Jo said.
But the Creep Catchers say their efforts have not led to any arrests in Utah.
The Utah Attorney General’s office isn't thrilled with the work the group is doing. A spokesperson sent this statement to FOX13:
“Undercover sting operations are performed by specifically-trained officers who have responsibilities as investigators, and whose work must be admissible in court. No matter how well-meaning, it is dangerous and potentially illegal for individuals or groups to engage with people online with the intent of shaming, exposing and/or harassing alleged child predators.”
But Jo isn’t apologizing for her work, which she says has a personal meaning.
“I lost my virginity to a creep who was 25 when I was 13 years old. I want to prevent other children from feeling that way,” Jo said.
She understands law enforcement has their hands full with just how enormous this problem is.
“I can’t imagine, even with a staff of 100 people, they would be able to catch all of the creeps I’ve seen in Utah,” Jo said.
She has no plans to stop confronting these men to expose them and educate parents and kids about the dangers lurking on social media sites.
“They are scumbags, and I am here to expose them,” Jo said.
The Creep Catchers say they are not doing this for money. They ask anyone who wants to help to donate to agencies that protect children.
