In 89% of cases, there was no evidence suspects had child porn in their possession and 92% had no history of violent crime. Of the roughly 300 people arrested in online-predator stings in Washington from 2015 to 2020, about a quarter were under 25, the Times found with data from WSP and court records. “We’re not seeing hundreds of juveniles being trafficked in our city, and we’ve got people whose full-time job is to look for that,” Christian Parker, FBI supervisory special agent in Spokane, said in August. While Homeland Security agents estimate the average age of sex trafficking victims in Spokane is 13 or 14, local FBI agents and police who focus on arresting pimps rather than sex buyers estimate the average is closer to 30. In the Spokane area, Homeland Security agents running Net Nanny operations say they have arrested roughly 40 suspected child predators per year in recent years. “If she was 13, I was going to turn around and walk away,” Hambrick told detectives, the Times reported. When Hambrick arrived at the address Gamer Gurl provided, the same adult female officer from the photo appeared at the door and waved Hambrick in before police officers emerged from a back room and arrested him, the Times reported. Hambrick told the Times she appeared to be in her 20s and her insistence on being 13 seemed like fantasy talk. Hambrick and the Gamer Gurl account had also exchanged photos, in which a then-24-year-old female Vancouver police officer posed as Gamer Gurl. “Why did you post an ad in craigslist if your (sic) 13? You mean 23?” Hambrick messaged Gamer Gurl, according to the New York Times. Hambrick asked for her age and Gamer Gurl said 13. Then-20-year-old Hambrick showed up at an address for sex with a person he knew as Gamer Gurl. Parker’s story, as told in the complaint, echoes that of Jace Hambrick, who was convicted in Washington after police used similar tactics, according to a report from The New York Times Magazine. Parker was charged with two counts of second-degree attempted rape of a child. Detectives knew the common definition of DDLG involved consenting adults but did nothing to prevent Parker’s malicious prosecution, the suit claims. At that address, a team of officers in SWAT-like apparel aimed guns at Parker and arrested him, the suit claims.ĭuring Parker’s three-hour interrogation, he repeatedly told officers he showed up for a fantasy role-play with adults, according to the suit. Parker showed up at the address “Ronda” gave expecting to role-play with her and another adult woman, according to the suit. It is NOT a relationship between an actual father and daughter or any minor child,” the complaint said. The suit points to Urban Dictionary’s definition of “ddlg” as Daddy Dom Little Girl, a kink fantasy in which one partner is a “caregiver or ‘daddy’ and the other is childlike. Looking for likeminded people that are into ddlg/incest/young taboo. Single mom,” Rowdy Ronda’s profile said, according to the suit. Detectives said they lost all but the last messages between “Ronda” and Parker, according to the suit. Washington State Patrol detectives used the handle “Rowdy Ronda720” to message Parker on a dating app called Skout. Parker, 32, was an active-duty soldier stationed at Joint Base Lewis McChord south of Tacoma in February 2019 when he was arrested in one of Washington’s Operation Net Nanny stings, the complaint for damages said. Though charges against him were ultimately dropped, he claims in his recent lawsuit against Washington State Patrol that dishonest detectives manipulated him and “forever tainted and destroyed” his life for their own financial gain.Īccording to the suit filed in Thurston County Superior Court this February, detectives funded by a nonprofit now under criminal investigation pretended to be women and girls on social media to entrap men, boost arrest numbers and gain hefty donations for their task force. Quentin Parker believes the sting operation that identified him as a “dangerous child predator” in 2019 failed its mission.
