Case narrative

Sting

When Delie arrived to the sting house, he met the decoy at the door and took his boots off before coming in, in what Chris Hansen described as "almost considerate." After Chris came out, Delie told Chris that he intended to give the decoy a "normal therapeutic massage." Although stating that his name was Ryan online, Delie insisted that his name was actually John. He also claimed to be twenty-two years old, but both of these were lies.

Aftermath

Child Sexually Abusive Activity Using a Computer to Commit a Crime Accosting a Child for Immoral Purposes

For unknown reasons, all three charges were dropped by prosecutors in May of 2023 and he was never convicted of any crime.
