Mark Zwak charged with prostitution - His Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/markzwak?ref=br_rs

I don't have time right now to check out the others, after all there are 45, but I'll come back later to find more of those arrested.

Please remove Mark Zwak from this post as his charges had absolutely nothing to do with anyone underage

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

Mark? Is that you?

Gviller1 ago

His charges had nothing to do with anyone underage

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

He was arrested in the sting. This is a fact, so I don't see why I should give him a pass. We truly don't know what these people are in to. Did he always ask for ID before, um, moving forward with his intentions?

Gviller1 ago

The sting 6 month long according to a sheriff that is now under various charges and a lawsuit for rape proved to net 2 sex traffickers. The fact is more than half of the individuals that were involved in the sting never crossed the line or sought out underage persons. The number of people reported was to inflate a story to give himself credit to a city that he committed crimes against. To put people in the same category is irresponsible and ultimately an unjust death sentence. It's not a free pass it's just responsible reporting.

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

I'd like to see sources for all of your claims.

Gviller1 ago

It's in the news, the sheriff more than 6 months ago had a lawsuit for allegations of rape brought against him. That's everywhere in the news. Shortly after this investigation starts. That's in the news as well. The article that reported the sting also goes to list what charges were brought against who. Those are facts. If an individual had crossed the line at any point his or her charges would have included the fact. The investigation did not only go after child predators but after individuals who sought the service of professionals of consenting age. To put those people in the same category is like putting parking tickets with people convicted of vehicular manslaughter.

If it's being reported that much, it should be easy for you to send me some links to credible sources.

Really? That's basicly the same article about the sting arrests. It says nothing about the sheriff being crooked or anything about your boy Mark being innocent of diddling kids. Please go do something productive and stop trying to play hero unless you can put your money where your mouth is by offering clear and concise proof of your claims.

Gviller1 ago

The article spells out who was charged with what.

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

I understand that. It doesn't mean that those arrested have never done things they haven't been caught doing. It's important to know who these people are and what they may be capable of, and who they associate with.

Gviller1 ago

The world is full of good people that end up doing bad things. Individuals have been going to see professionals in this industry for as long as written word has been around. The reasons can vary from problems at home to just being lonely. To put those individuals with ones that seek out underaged persons is a death sentence. Do you really believe that is just ? The individuals that had nothing to do with crimes against children must always be mistaken as being that? It's a death sentence for those who were not there for underage.

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

So, what you're saying is that it's cool because Mark always asks for ID before engaging in sexual intercourse with strangers. Am I hearing you right?

Look, if it hadn't been for you coming into this thread, nobody would be any the wiser because I placed a question mark after his name. I remain as biased as possible and if Mark is as upstanding as you say, why can't he stay away from having sex with strangers, or go wherever this is legal? He was charged and this is public information in a sting designed to catch child predators. I cannot delete info just because you tell me some info and expect me to take it as truth. I hope he turns his life around and stays out of trouble and away from people who will only bring him down.

Gviller1 ago

I'm asking if individuals that had nothing to do with underage persons deserve to be dragged into articles that read child predators.

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

First, this isn't an article, it's a blog. His name was in the article, which is why it's in the blog. The sting captured those who were diddling kids and anyone else the net dragged in. His name is associated with the sting. I don't know Mark and I can't say for certain of anything he has or hasn't done, thus I cannot determine what he's guilty of. When he has his hearing and there's no evidence of him being involved with underage persons, he should move to have his name removed from the articles, and the blog will follow.

Gviller1 ago

The courts have a website and all charges are listed. The ones with underage offenses are spelled out. The others that have nothing about underage charges are listed as well.

Enigmatic_Continuum ago

Then, he shouldn't have anything to worry about. If anyone looks up Operation Millstone, they'll see that he doesn't have any charges associated with minors. Although, sex trafficking people who aren't minors is just as bad. Can you furnish proof that he wasn't involved with sex trafficking or luring minors and/or adults for the sex trafficking ring?
