00:00:00
predators are some of the most disgusting and terrifying criminals out there but what happens when they finally
00:00:06
get caught in the act and face the punishment they deserve can you show me that he's only 17 I can put you in handc
00:00:12
and throw you in the back of a car here are four spine chilling reactions from Sinister realizing they've been caught
00:00:18
starting with the most shocking of all in March of 2017 a father contacted the mo Police Department about his
00:00:25
17-year-old son he revealed that his son had checked into the Super Eight Motel and he was worried about him so the
00:00:31
police went to check on him he's either here for Narcotics or prostitution for Narcotics
00:00:40
kids prostituting that's strong let's go open up the door so we can talk to you what yeah cuz you have a juvenile in
00:00:54
your hotel room okay open the door and we'll talk to you real quick and we'll be done out
00:01:00
I'm right here I'm right here come out before you get me worried show me your hands okay take a seat on the what's
00:01:08
what's going on with you man just trying to have good a good time yeah what's your name Ralph Ralph what
00:01:18
shorty you got an ID shorty shorty doesn't sound like a last name to me I'm sorry guys you're kind of freaking G
00:01:24
yeah that's what we do he's 17 okay what do you mean okay okay didn't know okay what whatever you're
00:01:32
doing it's a bad idea if he was a couple years younger you'd be going to prison at that time the officer had no idea he
00:01:40
was dealing with 35-year-old Senator Ralph shorty a republican from the Oklahoma Senate what puzzled everyone
00:01:48
was trying to understand why shorty was with a teenager inside a motel in the middle of the night and a few days later
00:01:55
they were both brought in and questioned separately what followed in the interrogation was extremely disturbing
00:02:01
there's pretty lengthy conversation on his tablet that uh he says is with a guy that you is the online or the kick kick
00:02:11
ID is Jamie Tilly he he calls me Jamie uhhuh and I'm not sure why okay he says I need money
00:02:19
for spring break uh Jamie Tilly says I don't uh really have any legitimate things I need help with right now would
00:02:26
you be interested in stuff he says yes he's telling me that when he first met you through Craigslist that you that he
00:02:34
had posted an ad in casual encounters and that he had a lot of responses for it but that you said that you wanted him
00:02:41
to mess around with your wife while you watched and then said that that didn't never happen because she was
00:02:46
pregnant so here's the deal Ralph you and I both know what the truth is and the truth is not what you're telling us
00:02:52
it's not me it's not you okay we communicated by phone there was no intentions that night shorty denies that
00:03:01
he was Jamie Tilly on Craigslist and didn't have any online conversation with the teenager however the police had all
00:03:07
the proof they needed there was even a witness who recalled exactly what happened and we got a witness that put
00:03:13
you there when you say I absolutely picked him up when you say I'm here the witness is waiting down the street
00:03:19
because she thought it was jacked up she thought it was jacked up that he wouldn't tell her where he was going or
00:03:25
anything like that so she sits down the street and waits and then she sees him going to the Super hotel with with you
00:03:32
and then she gets scared and wondering what the heck is going on so she calls the police or calls his dad and who who
00:03:38
in turn calls us I mean we have his device we have these are just photos of it we actually have downloaded the
00:03:45
entire device now so we have everything that y'all said that night everything I'm telling you that's not me clearly is
00:03:52
you that's that Ralph that's a lie you're lying to us right now that's clearly you
00:04:00
no one else with daughter sick coffee shop I'm here and you're there that's clearly you I don't know who else he
00:04:08
could have been talking to shorty kept on denying his actions but the FBI also found that shorty had been doing this
00:04:15
for 5 years he had used fake names to send and receive child pornography and go on Craigslist to find these young men
00:04:22
according to shorty the younger the better the legal age of consent in the state of Oklahoma is 16 but under state
00:04:29
law engaging in prostitution with anyone under 18 is illegal and even though Senator shorty claims he didn't know the
00:04:37
boy's real age the police didn't believe him we're not saying you're a bad guy we're not saying you set out thinking
00:04:42
that this is some 15-year-old kid you're going to go we're not saying that we're
00:04:46
saying Hell maybe you didn't know how old he was I don't know I think you probably did based on what he's telling
00:04:51
me I I asked him I said hey does he know how old you were he said yeah he knows because we had a discussion about it and
00:04:56
at first he was uncomfortable with it but then he finally got over it I know you guys don't believe me and I'm not
00:05:00
going to try to convince you otherwise unless I have something to show you and I I just don't know so basically all
00:05:06
that can happen is at this point is that we get more evidence about what's going on cuz there's nowhere to
00:05:14
go from here there was no way out for shorty and in June 2018 prosecutors revealed that shorty has twice with the
00:05:22
victim before they were found together at the hotel finally in September 2018 he was sentenced to a total of 15 years
00:05:30
in prison on a child sex trafficking charge and 10 years of supervised release now imagine if the Predator is
00:05:37
someone everyone is supposed to feel safe around as a teacher if you're accused you're guilty Steven Bud was a
00:05:44
teacher at rosarian elementary school before he got caught and arrested for giving out candy to kids in return for
00:05:51
sexual favors a reward system he likes to call Bud buck in 2013 two teenage girls came forward and reported Steven
00:05:59
to the police the incidents took place in 2006 when Bud was their home room teacher and the girls were only nine at
00:06:05
the time a few months after the report he was brought in for interrogation why do you think of him because of all the
00:06:12
crap been saying today the girl has been call me and accuse me this stuff why do
00:06:17
you think she would accuse you of this I think it happened in the classroom or anything that you
00:06:23
remember this was a couple years ago right yeah how long ago was it in fourth grade not sure what she now she's high
00:06:30
school so obiously you know what the allegation is have you ever had anyone bring up no 18 years of teaching has
00:06:39
never come how about in another state nowhere no I have no history at all so would you be surprised with other
00:06:50
children came forward the same yes so what were the control issues today like what was going on with that what do you
00:06:57
mean the control issues thought you said she was trying to say something to you yeah she was accusing me of doing stuff
00:07:04
every day in fourth grade to her you can tell from his body language that he's hiding something at first he seems
00:07:10
relaxed and then suddenly he shifted in his seat and got in a stiff defensive posture so I don't know if you're
00:07:19
familiar with DNA yeah was there any time that you were at the school that you didn't activate that may walked in
00:07:25
or something any type of evidence in road that shows up that's stuff doesn't go away I know it's been quite a few
00:07:31
years I'm just letting you know Steven maintains that posture as he denies the allegations what Steven
00:07:39
accidentally confessed to next might have been enough to put him behind bars well I wanton to understand the side
00:07:45
your class I don't right now you have breing you have bean bag you said under the desk well wonder the desk wasn't
00:07:50
necessarily A Center it's just kids ended up there at some point one of the places that they went as well as like
00:07:56
under the computer table as well as you know up front and wherever how many kids
00:08:02
can you fit under the desk at one time your desk I don't know it look pretty small
00:08:08
to me I wouldn't say that we could fit more than two yeah I guess I don't you agree yeah I guess you don't Paul ever
00:08:16
taking class these girls saying this happened we have Miss Bina saying yes you took him another class how would
00:08:27
we account for that I I don't know how you account for that so you're saying you don't remember that
00:08:35
no I don't ever remember pulling anybody ining them during French or Spanish or whatever it was at this point he knew he
00:08:43
was one confession away from spending the rest of his life in prison so he asked for his lawyer would you consent
00:08:49
to a DNA standard for us to compare to any potential evidence located under the Des personally I would yes but I also
00:09:00
think this is like there's no answer and I can't piece it together either so I'm
00:09:08
thinking at this point you know I I need a lawyer I need to find out someone that
00:09:12
can tell me and look at this for me not not nothing personal against you guys but you're you you're a little girl came
00:09:21
to me and said these things I'd be heartbroken and go with her too but I'm not I have no one to give me advice
00:09:28
Steven was found guilty of sexually assaulting two 9-year-old girls inside his classroom and was sentenced to three
00:09:34
life sentences in prison while the first two cases were a breeze for the cops Josie armen's case took a violent twist
00:09:41
turn on put your hands around your back on May 22nd 2021 30-year-old Josie Aman was accused of groping a
00:09:49
10-year-old girl in a Wisconsin Walmart but before anyone could stop him Josie fled the store and ran out of sight
00:09:56
thankfully it's not that easy to escape the police and this cop managed to track
00:10:00
him down do the name Josie ring a bell yeah is he here yes okay I got to talk to hey Josie officer
00:10:12
flatten this was a little bit more uh urgent for me so I decided to just come down and talk to you here in may we got
00:10:18
a complaint from a parent and a young girl at the Walmart on last then ball view anything ring a bell to that okay
00:10:27
you ever been at the Walmart where where uh you got chased out of the store Josie kept on denying everything
00:10:34
but the cop had a trick up his sleeve before visiting Josie the officer collected pictures of him at Walmart and
00:10:40
a receipt confirming a purchase that he made there he had him dead to rights would you agree that this is
00:10:49
you no okay is this your truck definitely not you don't think that resembles you in the slightest I'm
00:10:58
not going to agree to that the suspect of this whole thing was inside Subway bought a sub sandwich use your debit
00:11:04
card wa somebody Ed my debit card said well you in a Subway yep on Alaska Walmart Subway you still want to tell me
00:11:13
you have no idea what I'm talking about okay at this point there's only one option for Josie to run turn around
00:11:21
put your hands behind your back domic you got taser yeah stop stop stop get on this
00:11:55
round luckily Josie didn't get too far before he was tackled To The Ground by the cops and they made sure he regretted
00:12:02
even choosing to run in the first place Josie was charged with first-degree seual assault of a girl under the age of
00:12:08
13 and misdemeanor resisting an officer and could face up to 60 years in prison everything happened extremely quickly
00:12:15
for this guy but in the case of Ryan Burton the cops had spent weeks planning their attack and making sure he headed
00:12:22
to jail for a long time on July 6th 2021 an investigator pretended to be a 15-year-old old girl on social media and
00:12:30
Ryan Burton took the bait he even went as far as asking for her address in Lacrosse Wisconsin but when he arrived
00:12:37
he was greeted by police officers and not the young girl he was expecting my name is detective Ross I'm with lacrosse
00:12:43
Police Department can you take your hands on your pockets for me yeah what's your what's your name sir Brian Brian
00:12:49
okay any weapons with you today no okay you just want to put your hands on tap of your head I'm just going to patch you
00:12:53
down make sure you got no weapons with you today I'm here at the police department as well sir see our badge yes
00:13:05
yeah put your you okay you're not hurt Brian I'm good Ryan was immediately arrested as
00:13:14
the chat with the investigator was more than enough proof to take him in however
00:13:18
they now had to learn more about Burton by searching his car one of his Diaries caught their attention you won't believe
00:13:25
what was written inside both therapists mentioned that I had non verbal cues that I was uncomfortable when talking
00:13:32
about what happened after some reflection I think this is because I've always felt like I'm a good person I'm
00:13:38
kind but this has turned me into a and that makes me very uncomfortable wow why don't we just take
00:13:44
that whole thing okay at this point Ryan's fate was sealed they had the conversations and the diary as proof and
00:13:51
the only thing that was left was to interrogate him so Ryan obviously you're here um you were taking in custody for a
00:13:57
reason I got a investigation I investigates crimes against kids okay you still have no idea why you're here
00:14:04
long as you understand your rights Ryan I need your signature here and if you want to if you want to talk to me and
00:14:09
talk to me about why you're here signature here okay okay okay you don't want to talk no okay
00:14:22
going be going to count tonight there'll be two charges all right one of them is
00:14:26
the use of a computer to facilitate crime okay and the second one is the attempted
00:14:32
second degree a child okay I'll respect your wishes and uh we're going to get you out of here as soon as we can Ryan
00:14:38
decided to stay silent and has been charged with two offenses the first one is the use of a computer to facilitate a
00:14:45
child sex crime and the second one is attempted second deegree sexual assault of a child if found guilty he could face
00:14:52
up to 60 years in prison however Burton was released on signature bond which forbids contact with his biological
00:14:59
children the bond allows supervised contact with his stepchild and restricted internet access you said age
00:15:06
didn't matter you were going to have oral you were going to give him oral you told him straight up that you knew he
00:15:13
was 13 this is the moment Timothy K A 42-year-old realized he'd been caught Timothy tried meeting up with a
00:15:22
13-year-old boy but unfortunately for him John was actually a decoy placed by the teat team and was run by a team of
00:15:31
experienced catchers after just a week of online chats Tim was lured in and taken down by the cops after being
00:15:39
apprehended he was brought into the police station where the interrogation began Sam do you know why you're
00:15:45
here why did you come to Howen Heights tonight can you tell me I was going to meet this this guy and just you know we
00:15:52
were going to watch the movies and stuff we just met online I was actually going
00:15:55
to be in the area anyways and you know Tim decides to play dumb and acts as though he's got no idea he's done
00:16:02
anything wrong a classic first move many make but somehow not as common as his next claim who was that person John I
00:16:12
can't remember his last name how old was he I 18 I think I really don't know 18 how did you meet him uh on online do you
00:16:21
chat online yeah quite frequently of course he says John was 18 years old the legal age of consent in Kentucky where
00:16:29
all this took place this response is actually so common that lots of people actually treat it as an incriminating
00:16:36
statement if a 40-year-old is comfortable meeting up with and having with an 18-year-old they're either lying
00:16:43
about the kid's age or very likely also willing to meet up with someone that's 17 or younger I have some chat logs
00:16:51
where you all talked back and forth and I think that that person told you they were 13
00:16:59
in the chog I I wouldn't meet somebody 13 years old no that's too you know that's that's too young yeah not only
00:17:11
did John tell Tim he was 13 it was almost the very first thing he said and while Tim acknowledges here that 13 is
00:17:20
too young his messages contradicts that as well with him explicitly stating that
00:17:25
he really doesn't care about the age it's the guy that he's interested in you want to tell me a little bit about how
00:17:32
you chatted with was it John you said yeah nothing we just met and you know it just went from there did you have
00:17:41
something in common um just seemed like a nice guy you know it doesn't take a genius to realize that Tim's keeping his
00:17:50
answers as short and vague as possible here as a way to hide the true nature of his messages Tim already knows he's inou
00:17:58
trouble and what he's likely in trouble for his only play is to try and convince
00:18:03
the detectives that he was there for a different purpose unfortunately for him though the cops think they have
00:18:10
everything they need to take him down I've read a little bit of the chat that you had and um there were some
00:18:18
underlying issues of maybe homosexuality was that maybe the reason for your contact with John uh could be
00:18:28
but if I mean if he was if he's the age that's what you said That's you it would never happen M so but you
00:18:38
were interested in him because he was or man personality so friends many people have noted that the
00:18:49
detective's comments here are besides the point of the interrogation but there is the possibility that it was a
00:18:55
question posed to trick Tim into incriminating himself if Tim was interested in Jon strictly because he
00:19:02
was homosexual that implies that his intentions with JN were however this does become a somewhat pointless
00:19:10
argument when you realize that pair met on a website called gay.com I get the feeling that you think that we're trying
00:19:19
to mess with you that's that's not the case at all we're here to find out what this situation was so that we can
00:19:27
explain it and without situation I you know I mean that's you understand me though your understand so I need you to
00:19:36
come clean with me and tell me what this was all about that is exactly what it was about you know if I meet somebody
00:19:44
fine you know I mean if it goes farther that's cool but you know I mean I'm looking I'm not
00:19:49
looking for you know I'm looking for friends maybe a relationship Tim and the cops continue to talk about everything
00:19:57
that's happened so far with Tim explaining there was nothing inherently about the Meetup and he had no idea the
00:20:05
guy was 18 but as the cops start to repeat the same questions over and over he starts to get visually uncomfortable
00:20:13
so the cops decide to ramp up the intensity to see if they can get him to crack Tim we got some problems here
00:20:20
whenever you talk to John you you told him straight up that you knew he was 13 I can't tell you how many times in
00:20:30
this chat blog that you tell him that you know he's 13 you talk about spring break you
00:20:37
ask him when he's when his mom's leaving you plan on coming to stay hold on I've
00:20:42
listened to you okay I'm going to lay it out for you because here it is you were
00:20:47
coming to stay all weekend not just a day you told him you were coming all weekend you were going to have oral you
00:20:54
were going to give him oral you ask him the first time that he if you'd been caught by his mother and whenever he
00:21:01
told whenever he asked you how old you were when you started you said 13 or 14 and he said I was the same age and you
00:21:09
said that you understood so don't tell me that you don't know that he was 13 and that that
00:21:17
wasn't your intention to come here and have the 13year old no that was not my intention it was absolutely your
00:21:24
intention don't F me full of crap I'm done with that game that game is over now do we want to talk about what
00:21:33
your intentions were here because I'm beginning to think you're not a all the messages that the
00:21:41
detectives are referring to are public so we can see exactly how disgusting they really are not only was he
00:21:48
constantly telling JN he liked him wanted to date him and would do anything for him they also talked explicitly
00:21:55
about cuddling making out oral and masturbation and that's not even mentioning the facts that Tim lied about
00:22:03
his age and said countless other creepy and things in court it's possible an experienced legal team could argue that
00:22:12
Tim Miss R John's age or completely missed it in the first place his words back this up when he's explicitly said
00:22:19
if he found out the kid was just 13 he wouldn't have engaged in any activity however many of his other messages carry
00:22:27
the implication that he was fully aware that John was underage and that it was even his primary focus if I would have
00:22:35
found out if I would have known then I knew and then I just didn't realize it because when I looked on the website it
00:22:42
had a date like 1974 something like that so that's the connection that I thought okay you've
00:22:48
already told me that everybody lies online why would you think that that's correct until you meet somebody and go
00:22:53
until you chatted with him and he told you he was 13 years old and you said that was great that was
00:23:00
fine you did not have a problem with the age difference I yes I you to him about
00:23:07
high school you talk to him about girls at school and and the boys if there were
00:23:13
any gay boys at his school at his high school yeah we talked about a lot of things in the past few minutes Tim's
00:23:19
stance has changed from a relaxed open stance to a rigid upright one he's also crossed his arms in front of him and has
00:23:27
his shoulders lifted both telltale signs that somebody is feeling very uncomfortable Tim also decides to take
00:23:33
off his jacket likely meaning he's very uncomfortable and feels a subconscious need to reset the entire interaction
00:23:40
lastly his legs are crossed and his feet are crossed and constantly moving around
00:23:45
implying a huge amount of anxiety and a subconscious need to exit the interaction entirely after almost an
00:23:52
hour of interrogation the police decide that they're not making any progress right now and decide to step out out
00:23:58
temporarily this gives them a chance to drop their next move whilst also leaving
00:24:02
the suspect alone letting them stew and become more anxious about their current situation after an hour of waiting the
00:24:09
detectives finally return but you told me you already realized that this was a child Tim I I would not have had with a
00:24:17
child I'm sorry Tim you talked to him about the Easter Bunny and Easter basket God everybody I got an Easter basket you
00:24:25
asked him if he still believed in the Easter bun don't tell me you thought he was 18 years old ask somebody if they
00:24:32
you absolutely ask him no do you still believe in Easter money oh yeah no oh yeah and it's in black and white now
00:24:41
come off of it any judge is going to see that any jury is going to see that and they're going to say this guy is
00:24:49
absolutely a he needs going to have to go that far away you know it's going to have to go that far then so is this the
00:24:57
profile you saw for John yeah and can you show me where on here you thought that he was
00:25:10
18 I can't because it's not there and it never was here it says 73 yeah but then
00:25:19
on his yeah it says he's 13 but you also went there loation seun no you see what this looks like yeah I
00:25:31
see what it looks like it's terrible it's absolutely terrible yes it is see I made a mistake you know cuz I I still
00:25:39
would not mistake I still would not have went for somebody because there were underage I'm looking you know 18 would
00:25:47
have been fine he didn't have a car but I made a mistake he didn't have a car he
00:25:51
didn't have a driver's license he couldn't meet you somewhere because he was 13 years old two and two together
00:25:59
old I did not know that I did not I mean that's I did not know that despite Tim still not confessing or budging even an
00:26:10
inch the detectives still believe they have everything they need to bring him to Justice and that's exactly what
00:26:16
happened Timothy K was charged with a felony count of Interstate travel to engage in of a minor and was sentenced
00:26:24
to 46 months in prison as well as 20 years of supervised release and a mark on his permanent record as a registered
