From the Harford County Child Advocacy Center:
A Colorado man was arrested on Wednesday after a Harford County Child Advocacy Center investigation developed evidence supporting charges of sexual solicitation of a minor.
The suspect is identified as Scott Dye, 40, of Colorado Springs, CO. He is charged with one count of sexual solicitation of a minor.
Investigators became involved after Dye made contact with an undercover law enforcement account which he believed to be a juvenile and arranged to have sexual contact with her. Dye arranged to meet in Bel Air where he was arrested without incident by investigators from the Harford County Child Advocacy Center, who were assisted by a deputy with the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, and a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Dye is currently being held at the Harford County Detention Center on no bond.
Investigators also recovered suspected illegal drugs and items of personal electronics from Dye’s person and vehicle upon his arrest. Investigation is ongoing.
Good job Hsrco Sherriffs office
Dye should die.
What a sick individual!
What happens to him after he is charged? Jail time? Probation? Sex offenders list? All of the above?
Probably gets a job as an administrator for HCPS.
I think I’ve met your sister before. Isn’t her married name Kis Mahaz?
The Sheriffs Department will hire him as a Deputy…..
Highly unlikely that our awesome Sheriff Gahler would allow that. We have an amazing police department in HarCo.
Gahler is a clown…
Gahler is far from perfect, but still t best sheriff the county has ever seen and that just hurts some liberal feelings. You keep crying and we keep supporting our sheriff!
If he is the best you can come up with then that says a lot about Harford County
Well, you ALL see a crime and I see a fishing expedition that didn’t catch a damn thing. In order for there to be a crime, there must be a causation of harm, as this man and every other person is entitled to a Common Law trial. Absent a victim, there is only fraud and treason as no crime has occurred. The State can NOT be the victim and an imaginary creation of the State can’t be considered a victim either. Statutes are NOT law and there must be an actual crime for a lawful conviction to take place. Repeatedly, Harford County has no concern about lawful convictions and will hold this man illegally, without bail, until he accepts a plea bargain of fraud devised by the State and its persecutors. If he actually approached a REAL person then this would be a crime, but he didn’t. To the contrary, the State is the one whom is causing the harm and is acting against the Common Law. This is called barratry and the State is guilty of this common law crime a thousand times over. Homeland Security should concentrate on terrorism and organized crime, as that is its reason for existing. Not to persecute people over a non crime. The Harford County Child Advocacy Center should concentrate on actual criminals and not a man alleged to have solicited the sexual services of a minor, whom does NOT exist. No VICTIM, No CRIME. That’s the bottom line….
Spot on….This one too will becoming to the center circus ring otherwise known as the Harford County Court system.
Soul Crusher is upset that a minor was not taken advantage of by Mr. Dye. It’s sad and disturbing to see someone take a child predator’s side in this matter.
Scott Dye “made contact with an undercover law enforcement account which he believed to be a juvenile and arranged to have sexual contact with her.” He then “arranged to meet [said undercover police officer] in Bel Air.” He had every intent to commit statutory rape. He deserves to be behind bars, and anyone who argues that this sicko shouldn’t be, should join him.
All you accusations are just thoughts someone had. Once you make thoughts illegal none of us are safe.
@yup
I can’t tell if your being facetious, or if you’re really that idiotic. There are no “accusations”. He had intent, he acted on it, he got caught.
Pretty cut and dry.
If someone has intent on carrying out a crime, and they take steps to carry out that intent, even if they are caught before the crime is carried out, they are still found guilty.
Statutes aren’t laws. They are the prima facia evidence of law and no crime has been committed unless there is a causation of harm. There is no Constitutional authority to regulate people by law granted to the Federal government and the Maryland Constitution limits regulating by law in regards to the bribery of officials ONLY. There is a question of regulating in regards to police power, but that is skewed by the limitations of what is allowable by the creation of statute. Intent is only one of the factors of a crime and you can’t get around that there must be a causation of harm. There was no crime here because the State committed FRAUD in order to lure the man into a crime. FRAUD is a crime and when you break the law to enforce the law you are not acting as the law. You are acting as an arbitrary persecutor and are perverting justice. However, people like you are NOT interested in justice and are only interested in destroying everyone whom doesn’t conform to you’re treasonous beliefs.
@ Harford County Teacher – No crime was committed. There is no victim. The State can’t be the victim and the State can’t entrap. By posting the account online the State did contribute to the act and did entrap. What don’t you understand about Codes Rules and Regulations only apply to government employees? I don’t condone underage solicitation of a minor, but clearly he did NOT solicit an underage minor. He solicited a fictional character of the State’s creation. He can NOT be held to account for a non crime. As far as you putting me in jail with him, you can try, but you would fail. Try to hard and you’d get hurt. That’s just the way it is. Stick to teaching and don’t get hurt. Well, maybe your feelings, but I don’t care about your feelings. Everyone needs to know that this is Fraud and the offender is actually being falsely imprisoned by the terrorists of the Harford County Judiciary. The Harford County Judiciary is the most treasonous and illegal Court in this State. Possibly the Nation. Every member of the Harford County Judiciary should be locked away for 5 years and forced to pay a $10,000 fine for the treason they commit on a daily basis. The entire process is part of a nationwide racketeering operation involving the government and the legal community fraudulently convicting people for non crimes and for Codes, Rules and Regulations. To change the Common Law, the law must be added to the Constitution because Common Law is all we are beholden to. ALL CONVICTIONS OF CODES, RULES AND REGULATIONS ARE FRAUDULENT UNLESS YOU ARE A GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE OR AN ELECTED OFFICIAL. Read your Constitutions fuktard…..it is the Supreme law of the Land and this State.
“Solicitation of a minor is a felony sex offense in Maryland. It is a crime in which no physical contact need occur for the accused to be charged or convicted of the crime. The mere attempt to entice or encourage a minor under the age of 18 to engage in sexual activity is a criminal act, potentially punishable by years in prison and registration as a Maryland Sex Offender.”
Quoted from the Maryland Criminal Defense Group
“As far as you putting me in jail with him, you can try, but you would fail. Try to hard and you’d get hurt.”
I’d be very careful who I threaten online if I were you. You know absolutely nothing about me. Your assumption that I would be the one getting hurt is laughable. Don’t be a SJW keyboard warrior, and don’t ever cross that line with me again.
Quoting crap from a group of BAR Association members doesn’t mean anything. The BAR Association is treasonous and is beholden to the British Accredited Registry, which has no Constitutional Authority over the people because we never ordained it with any. Same thing goes for the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, whom are beholden to the BAR and are unconstitutionally promulgating supposed laws in this country. It is the job of every treasonous lawyer to convince their clients that they have committed a crime and must be imprisoned. This is all fraud and treason. You do know the second a lawyer speaks for you that you become a ward of the court. As a ward of the court, the court then decides to commit treason and illegally convict you of non crimes, to steal your rights and to institutionalize you into the policies of the illegal government that has taken over this country. As for threatening you, how can I threaten a fictional entity of treason? You are “Harford County Teacher”, an imaginary entity, just like that imaginary underage creation the cops are using to persecute this individual. I’m not owned by your corporation and I don’t follow Codes, Rules and Regulations of a corporation because corporations don’t own people. People own corporations. As for threatening you, well, you’re not real. You’re the “Harford County Teacher”. A completely fictional character, just like the “SoulCrusher”. We are both creatures of fiction and nothing we do matters on here. However, come to me face to face and that’s a different story. I don’t call police and I handle my business the way men were meant to handle business. The only time I call police is when the insurance company requires it to make a claim and even then it’s like pulling teeth to get the police to actually do their f’ing job. Listen, you’re a whiny little punk I would stomp a mudhole in. You know it and I know it. You can make any claim you want, but that still won’t change the fact that you’re a brainwashed little dweeb who advocates the treason of the fake courts of the government you worship. The government isn’t God and the government doesn’t own anybody. Well, maybe they own you, but that’s because you’re a fuktard…
Tough guy pothead armed with a keyboard. Yawn. Your act is getting tired, SC.
says the man typing on a keyboard….
Furthermore, the statute is clearly inoperable because it is a felony. Article 18 of the Maryland Declaration of Rights states “That no Law to attaint particular persons of treason or felony, ought to be made in any case, or at any time, hereafter” and this statute was created well after the Maryland Constitution was signed in 1867. The Legislature does NOT have the Constitutional Authority to create such a statute. The statute is clearly meant for Government Employees ONLY because the Legislature can’t create a statute that says otherwise unless it existed in Common Law or is derived from Common Law. If you don’t like it, learn to love it or call for a Constitutional Convention to add the law to the law of common.
You’re a clueless fool.
The Eighteenth Amendment established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring illegal the production, transport and sale of alcohol.
Obviously, you can’t read. Nobody said anything about the 18th Amendment. At this point you’ve got to just be messing with me….
You have Keystone Cops in Harford Co. Inept, incompetent, and dangerous are not good qualities for a Police Department.
I’ll end my part of this discussion on this note:
I work with children daily, and do so because of my love of authentic education. I am always protective over them. While they are in my care, their health and well-being are my top priority. With that said, many children who are exploited never report their abuse, which means their abuser rarely gets caught, or gets their due justice for their crimes. As parents, we should be grateful there’s one less predator on the streets trying to harm our children.
As a wife, mother, teacher, and advocate for Truth and justice, I am grateful to our police officers who catch criminals, such as Mr. Dye, and judge them according to their actions. Was a minor harmed in this instance? No. And I’m thankful for that. But in my honest opinion — and I’m not alone in this since this is the law here in Maryland — if a person has intent to go through with a crime that intentionally and physically harms someone else, but is caught before the crime can take place, they are still to be judged for that crime. A good example of this would be the terrorist threat with a U-Haul truck earlier this year in Washington, D.C. Thankfully, they were apprehended before any lives were lost.
As for the poor excuse, “It was a fictitious person that was communicating with Mr. Dye,” Dye didn’t know that. He had a choice to make, and traveled a heck of a distance to go through with his intention to take advanage of the situation he saught after. He is not any less innocent just because he was unaware of who he was actually speaking with. Many children have been spared because of these tactics that the police force have implemented.
As for insults and threats thrown my way — you aren’t the first, and you won’t be the last. Intelligence without moral conviction is useless.
“He deserves to be behind bars, and anyone who argues that this sicko shouldn’t be, should join him”. – Well, if you didn’t want to get into it maybe you should refrain from comments like this. Now, you seem to think that you are holier than thou, but it seems to be pretty obvious to me that Law Enforcement posted this somewhere on the internet that is known to be used to solicit sex. It is clear to me that Johns don’t care about the age of prostitutes and an underage person soliciting sex should be enough to rule out the possibility of prosecuting someone who has been entrapped. I don’t care about your history and I don’t care about what you do for a living. It just doesn’t matter. Stings like this are wrong. Homeland Security was never meant to investigate crap like this and quite frankly Homeland Security is being used as a Gestapo Task Force across this nation. Remember, they took an act of terrorism from foreign operatives and used it as an excuse to create Homeland Security and apply it against Americans whom are NOT the terrorists. If not for 911 we would’ve never seen Homeland Security and the purpose of Homeland Security was not meant to be used to pierce the protections of the Constitution. It was meant to prevent another attack from foreign terrorist organizations. Sorry, but I think the man was entrapped, his privacy violated and he is being persecuted for a non crime. Don’t worry, in your treasonous County with that treasonous Circuit Court, he will be convicted and that’s for sure. Just remember, it is the goal of your government to destroy and one day something you do might be criminalized by that group of Democratic traitors you currently worship. When it happens and you think you’re being persecuted by the treasonous government just remember this conversation…..
No one asked you to care about me, or my opinion on this matter, but you obviously do — since you can’t seem to stop engaging me in conversation.
Another thing, you may want to get tested for Paranoia/Schizophrenia. Just saying….
Question: You keep saying things like “Your County” and “Your Government” — Are you here illegally? If not, and you live in Harford County, MD, than it’s your county and government too. The same people you speak so vehemently about, are the same people that would help you out if you needed help. Sad that you can’t seem to see that for yourself.
The only one with a cocksure attitude here is you. You are so insecure about your own arguments that you have to demean others in order to feel superior to them. Try letting your point stand on it’s own two feet, without adding insults that make you sound childish. We might take you seriously then.
Yawn… I’ve said my bit yesterday. The man is innocent because there is no victim and any conviction will be an act of fraud and treason. There is no Constitutional authority for the statute to be applied to anyone but government employees. The statute is inoperable under the Substantive Due Process doctrine. He needs to challenge jurisdiction of the court and ask for all charges to be dropped. I’m done with this thread and I’m done with you, teacher. Or is it preacher?
Oh and by the way, when you say this “Many children have been spared because of these tactics that the police force have implement”, I can’t agree with that when LEO are putting out advertisements enticing grown men to seek sex with underage participants. That is what happened here and it is obvious. There won’t be many children spared because most children aren’t putting out ads on the internet to sell their bodies out to the public. That’s just the way it is….
“There won’t be many children spared because most children aren’t putting out ads on the internet to sell their bodies out to the public.”
You’re not on Instagram, are you? Tik Tok? Musically? Unfortunately, many children put themselves out there in the public eye, with no understanding of the consequences.
Really? Instagram? Where’d it say that in the article? Tik Tok? Musically? So, what you’re saying is the police are just putting up random internet accounts on Instagram, just in case some child predator tries to solicit an underage victim and he just happened to contact that random account, which was in no place that is routinely used for the sexual solicitation? Give me a break. How stupid do you think the public is? It was an internet sting involving fraud and entrapment. Period. End of discussion…
Don’,t engage Soul Crusher , no one with a clear mental state posts on the Dagger as much as he/ she does. They are clearly mentally unstable as their # of posts and what is posted will show you.
yawn
Scott Dye, why the long face?
