And I'm like, "Oh," and then he >> So, he did ask how old you were. >> Yeah. And then there was another guy sitting on the other side of me who is uh the grandpa of one of my friends. >> Mhm. >> And he was like, "How would you feel about babysitting sometime?" And I was fine with that. But the creepy guy was like, "Oh, me too. I have a little daughter. Um, I have a yacht. >> You can come like meet her on the yacht." >> Okay. And when I was reading my number to the other guy that was asking for babysitting originally, he got it down and he was like, "Okay, let me call it real quick and see if it's you." So, he called me and I'm like, "Yep, it's ringing." And then he texted me his name after I asked him what his full name was. Well, I didn't say what's your full name. I was like, "What's your name again?" Cuz I wanted to compare it to the Did you hear about the Facebook? >> Mhm. >> Yeah. I wanted to compare it to the Facebook page. And it's the same exact guy.

Okay. She was >> like, I'll let you know when I >> Over the course of the next two weeks, officers conducted a sting operation to catch the male with irrefutable evidence. They instructed the old to suggest the older male to get in touch with ayear-old who could help with the babysitting. He followed up with the girl over text, not knowing that it was a female officer behind that screen. He continued to suggest lewd ideas and sent explicit messages. And one night when he finally asked to meet the girl at a skate park, officers were presented with an opportunity. 20 questions if you wish. You decide any time to exercise his rights and I'll answer questions about where you had >> Yeah, I was at the place on my boat. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right.

I think I think in just a minute we're going to get them get them off all the way. >> Yeah. >> In the interrogation room, things quickly went from awkward to creepy as more details of the case were revealed. >> I just would like to understand what what I did. I mean, go over with it. Well, let me write this down here real quick. >> I've got a [snorts] I got a you got Yeah, I got a story line here. You know, I met a girl on the beach for Portal. And I asked her, I said, "Would you be interested in babysitting my 5-year-old girl?" She said, "Yeah, I may be. Yeah." She said, "You might be young interested in my younger girlfriend to do it." She's and I thought, "Oh, well, I don't know. Let's you know." So then the girl just started calling me and texting me and texting me. I love you, Gregory. I said, "Well, we don't even know each other. This is not going to happen. You're underage." And I said, "It's not going to happen." And uh she text me tonight. She said, "I didn't think you ever wanted to talk to me again. I'm in town." I said, "Well, I'll meet you, but you know, nothing's going to happen here." And she said, "Well, you should bring and" and I said, "Listen, I'm not doing this. You're underage." And she said, "Well, I love you." And I said, "Where are you?" She said, "Well, I'm scared. I'm at the park." And I said, "Well, I don't know where this park is." And so, it took me about an hour to find the park. I found the park and she said, "Well, take a picture where you are." I took a picture of that house with the blue lights and then you guys showed up and so I thought what the hell I haven't never I never even met this girl never touched her in my but I would not do it you know there's no way I'm 59y old man [snorts] so what happened >> well it it is about that >> I'm sure it is >> the text conversations that you had with the the girl the old you were just Well, I didn't even know I didn't even know her name was I didn't even know she was >> Well, you just told me. >> Well, well, >> initially, but >> yeah, >> that the guy on the beach said hery old. >> So, I've seen those text messages.

So I don't I understand but but but that was never going to happen. >> Was there pictures exchanged or anything like that? >> She sent me a two pictures of herself with her mother. >> A lot of young girls in the area had come forward and identified the male as a creep who hung around near the beach asking for their numbers and inviting them over to his yacht. >> What about when you told her that you guys were girlfriend and boyfriend? Well, I said, you know, I can I said, we're friends, boyfriend, girlfriend. I mean, but I'm not going to date you. You know, we're not going to do this. It's not going to happen. It's not appropriate. >> Okay. >> It might be appropriate in Asia or China or Philippines, but it's not recognized in this country. And I said, I'm not going there.

Like, >> how did she know that you She knew that you had >> She wanted She said, "We can't do anything cuz I can't get pregnant pre pregnant."

I mean, >> I just got divorced from my wife of several years and I we didn't have that use of >> Okay. You know, the year olds look like they're 20. You know, they look like they're older and you don't know the age. >> Was it is it that you're attracted to young girls around years old or is it just that this young girl just happened to be young and you were attracted to her? >> No, no, no, no. So, you were just attracted to this girl and she just happened to be young. But it wasn't >> she was just friendly to me. She was every day she would, "Honey, I love you and baby." And >> contrary to his statements, it was always the male who initiated the conversation with the undercover officer, often discussing his fantasies. >> So, how come you put a blanket in the backseat of your car to cover this the leather? cuz it's I don't want the sun baking it. >> Okay. But so but you're going to meet a girl at a park. See how what that looks like? >> That doesn't have anything to do with it. I've had that blanket in there for I bought that car in 2000. >> You Well, you just put that blanket in there. >> No, it's been in there for years. Years. I covered the seats, so I don't want the seats. >> What if I told you I walked by your car earlier today and that blanket was not there? Well, yes. When I'm driving down the road, sometimes I open up the sunroof and the windows on the back and it blows it off on the back. But no, it's always been in there. >> So, you weren't planning on having the back? >> No. Listen, guys. Absolutely no way in a million million years would that ever happen. >> The denials I'm hearing from you are different talking to me, a law enforcement officer, than they were talking to the girls. The year old girl. You were really in control of that conversation. She wasn't controlling you. Um you're you're making it sound like this year old girl talked you into doing all these things that you would never do in >> Well, she kept coming on today. I mean, daily. >> But girl, man, >> I don't know. I'm 59 years old. I don't know how old she is. I mean, she might even not tell you that how old she was. >> She did. >> What? How old was that? >> Okay. So, I will say this though. We do know that you've talked to four girls at least in town who have all been or younger. We know this is true. We know this girl I mean >> and we know one of those is Samantha. >> Yeah, she's >> okay. Right. >> So, why are you going up to these old people? >> Well, I don't again talking to these I don't know. >> Hold on. Let me just >> the age. I don't know what they, you know, they, like I said, they look 5 years older than they supposed to be. >> Well, I understand, but why? But, you know, that's pretty young, right? You're 60ish. I'm 34, right? I mean, >> I'm 59. >> Okay. You're 59. I'm 34. >> 60ish. >> Yeah. You know, I mean, I I do understand that somey olds, you know, look fairly old, but why aren't you talking with people, you know, more your age? Well, I do all the time, but you know, in Port Townsen, what I've learned, what I've learned as a single guy, there's widowers, coupled up people, a lot of lesbians, and married people, and a lot of young girls, and that's all I know. And so, you know, I I'm communive, I'm friendly, and I meet people all the time, especially on the beach. So, >> so back real quick back to the age thing. Some of these girls that you can talk to when they told you they were >> uh No, I they never did. Not >> never told you. >> I never asked their age. No. No. >> No. >> The male was also subject to a DUI investigation as he was visibly drunk when the officers had picked him up at the park. I don't know about much about your situation that you got going on here with these guys, but it sounds like you were drinking when you were taken into custody. So, now that you're here, obviously, if you're drinking and driving, that's an issue, too. That needs >> Oh, I I had >> address. So, >> I had pizza, a couple glasses of wine. >> Okay. How long ago was that? >> It was hours ago. >> Okay. Looks like your eyes are pretty >> I'm tired. Yeah, I'm tired. >> Okay. All right. So, it's 1:00 in the morning.
