• Detective's blunder in sting case nearly lets NJ predator go free (wobm.com) — A Stanhope-datelined report details how a New Jersey man received a seven-year state prison sentence and lifetime sex offender supervision after an undercover sting targeting attempted sex with a minor. The case, tried in Bergen County, nearly collapsed when investigators lost access to a key online profile, but an appeals court allowed prosecutors to move forward.
