Hey, that's me. Anyways, beyond all the neat stuff I wrote regarding how this log is a great example that playing a disinterested kid will still attract online predators, Reffner's log really illustrates that many predators are far more interested in the kid that seems unobtainable.

His technique in the log is self-depreciating humor in an attempt to win over my decoy profile with some sort of twisted charm. Even when he goes into the butterflies garbage, it's all in order to make me feel secure and to prove he isn't some "online phreak." Of course, he was.

I'm very pleased with the conviction of Reffner, he was actually one of the very first chat-logs I performed myself. A lot of what I was doing in that log was outside of the usual chats we have, thankfully chats like this and other "outside of the box" chat-logs other contributors have done illustrate the important need to play ALL types of kids, not just the snow-white barbie doll kid with no intelligence.

Thanks to Detective Mike Burns and all his compadres in Darke County, from prosecutors to take-down police. Great job in making this a very successful sting operation.
