In a press release shared Tuesday, September 2, the department shared that, during the holiday weekend, an individual known online as Skeeter Jean, who is recognized for posing as a decoy in attempts to expose adults seeking to exploit minors, arranged to meet with two men while portraying a 14-year-old female.
