In an ugly case of police entrapment, justice has finally been done, if late:
“The undercover Manatee County Sheriff’s Office detective on the street corner that afternoon in November took 30 steps to go chat with Milio… The woman opened his passenger side door and leaned inside….”Do you want to party tonight?” the woman asked Milio.
Manatee County Judge George K. Brown Jr. ruled…”This particular 93-year-old man was encouraged and/or enticed to proceed with the police officer’s direction of conversation,” Brown wrote.
Now Milio, 94, can be admitted to the assisted-living home. He suffers from dementia and apparently they didn’t want to take him if he was guilty.
The entrapment here is disturbing.
But what if he did actually solicit a prostitute? Honestly, why is it a crime to want to feel a sexual response at his (or any) age and be willing to pay someone to achieve it?
