Case narrative
Sting and Aftermath
There was a frenzied rush to start the investigation in Ocean County, New Jersey . A child predator shows up far sooner than anticipated. As soon as he enters the sting house, cops establish themselves nearby, ready to take him into custody. Amazingly, David also arrives early. David reaches the house and knocks without even noticing the police hiding nearby. He approaches a different door after getting no response. The police quickly and stealthily take him into custody as he passes more officers.
Russell eventually pled guilty to aiding the endangering the welfare of a child, he was sentenced to a lifetime of parole and sex offender registration.
