Wrestling Kyle Snyder arrested during prostitution sting

[ChickenBrother]

Dude's private life is his business but FFS this makes me sad. Unfortunate all around and obviously this will hurt his image, sponsorship potential, etc.

Folks on reddit are pointing out the press hasn't specified the gender of the undercover officer Snyder solicited lol. The only way he gets through this without a tarnished image is if the undercover officer was a dude. That would get him a ton of sympathy and a bunch of new fans.

i don't think his current fanbase would be very sympathetic.

Agreed, all that sweating and rolling around with other men in spandex, dude probably needed an outlet just to remind him of his sexuality.

That said, its unfortunate to ruin an "All American" image and tarnish what would have been a great career touring schools and teaching etc. Private lives should be private this didnt need to be leaked to the media either that is part of the problem.

I hate these victimless crimes. Here in NJ cops are pretending to be pedestrians and then have their partner waiting down the road and ticket you. Without the cops there is no crime (in these instances), so there should be no penalty. Snyder should of been given a warning and cut loose. No video

I hear what you're saying, but there is all that messed up stuff associated with prostitution. I am not saying that a single john is responsible for all the exploitation of hookers and all that, but there's a lot of bad aspects to it. The whole sub-culture of truck stop prostitution has created a super-vulnerable, hard to trace population, for example (its come to my awareness since I deal with truckers as a part of my job, I guess).

I guess I'm just saying, I get where you're coming from (I have similar thoughts about cops targeting non-threats far too often), but prostitution is also bad. Profound, I know.

Good. He will go into MMA now....

Yup, that's the tricky part. Striking a balance in policing. Arresting all the prostitutes and pimps while leaving the johns is a short sighted solution. I feel that a possible first time offender in a sting with no sex, violence, drugs, or real prostitute doesn't deserve this level of public attention or any real punishment

Agree with both of you. In principle though, I just feel it is somehow messed up that Snyder's image and earning prospects are going to take a hit for a crime he didn't actually get to commit. Granted he will be charged for solicitation and intent but this is like yelling at an 8 year old and sending him to his room for raiding the snack pantry and eating all the cookies ...when he never actually got to eat any cookies.

He'll get community service, speak to kids and a fine. But like you said it's the shaming and potentially loses he faces that I think it's the most upsetting. The police set up every circumstance, the fake victim, the location, surveillance, back up, transporting, processing, holding, prosecution, judges, probation management and more to catch and punish someone who was offered sex for money by a willing party. It just rings hollow. No one was saved, no one was protected, and like you said he's left pantless and blue balled. For the world to see

Yep. And according to the news article, he was one of 16 prospective johns who responded to a fake police ad soliciting prostitution services before he was busted, named and shamed. So like "To Catch a Predator" but instead of prospective s (who should be busted, named and shamed), this was a regular dude trying to engage in a paid act with (so he thought) another consenting adult.

And I don't know if this is true, but comments on reddit are saying that police stings like this often post ads with unreasonably low prices (to generate the most interest and get the most busts) that experienced johns know to avoid because the ad looks too good to be true. So the busts are likely new or first time johns who didn't know better.

So they used leolist or something.

It's just wrong in my opinion. There is plenty of real crime and real criminals for them to go after. This reeks of entrapment at face value. Waste of resources. What happened? Couldn't find real prostitution so they made it up.

The operation generated news coverage, some revenue, and the most important STATISTICS. Statistics used to apply for more grants and ask for more money. There is nothing in it for the police to actually lower crime. Lower crime means less cops and less funding. Stopping before I get a good rant going and I'm called anti cop and other dumb shit.

It seems like the only arrests that are made nowadays are from these sting operations, and not real prostitutes getting solicited on the streets. Police used to go out and bust johns picking up prostitutes and arrest both parties. Now the undercover cops just go online and create these imaginary situations with no real victims. Chris Hansen's new show "Takedown" is basically the new TCAP only even shadier, with their sting operations almost exactly like the one in this news article. They post fake ads soliciting prostitution with a decoy pretending to be 15 (even though their ads have the age at 18/19) then get these guys to show up and arrest them. I'll bet 90% of the Sex Offender Registry are just guys soliciting decoys and "statutory rape".

Serves him right that he got exposed for being a piece of shit cheater and fake christian.
Kids should view him as a role model when he is some pussy crazy retard.
