This Week Last Year in Crime: To Catch a Predator, Reston Style

This is almost too gross for words.

On Dec. 4, in an incident that easily could have been an episode of Dateline's “To Catch a Predator” TV series, Fairfax Police arrested a Reston man who allegedly was ready to pay for sex with an 11-year-old girl.
Of course, Craigslist is a legitimate, respectable business which would never condone activities like this being advertised. Which is why we felt perfectly safe searching for "Reston" in its personals section. Big mistake.

Really big mistake.

  1. This is so horrifying to me--it is the cluster adjacent to mine, and happens to be in an area where a lot of neighborhood kids go to play. Since this article came out, there are far fewer kids out after school (could be the weather, but I doubt it).

    Just so you're aware, it's 20191, not 20190.
