When Batavia police found out that a 15-year-old boy was meeting men online, then in person to have sex, Det. Todd Crossett went undercover, posing as a 14-year-old to catch two of the suspects. The second of those men, Rochester resident Anthony Sloan, pleaded guilty earlier this week. He faces a minimum of 10 years in prison.
Det. Crossett sat down with us earlier today to talk about his undercover experience and give some advice for parents of younger children.
(Note: Det. Crosset couldn't talk in too much detail about the chat sessions with the men for fear of alerting other potential suspects to his and other investigators' methods.)
