Man gets 12 years in solicitation case
A 28-year-old Brenham man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after he twice was caught by investigators using the Internet to solicit a minor for sex.
John David Payne, 28, first was arrested in December 2005 when he drove from Brenham to Bastrop to meet with whom he believed would be a child, but ended up being an investigator with the Texas Attorney General's Office.
While free on bail, he was caught by authorities in Washington County for soliciting another minor, officials said.
I usually try to stay away from the sting operations because they are not quite on the level to begin with. This story is worth noting to show just how intent these predators are. He gets arrested, gets free on bail and while out on bail, gets arrested for the same crime - amazing. Kids don't stand a chance.....
