Wow. Disgusting. I’m so glad these stings are ongoing because this is clearly a major problem.

Seriously, the photo's of some of the accused are downright scary!! Hope they all go away for a long time and are monitored forever afterwards.

Awww…one of them is crying. Poor baby.

NOT!

He’s going to have a whole lot more to cry about once he’s sitting in prison for a while.

These guys disgust me.
