In the less than half a day the bust house was open in Laguna Beach, thirteen men showed up to have sex with minors. Ryan was the last to arrive and the first to enter a guilty plea.

Ryan was a fast mover. He mentioned sex within minutes of initiating the chat and gradually got more aggressive, discussing oral sex, masturbation, and things he would like to do to twelve-year-old \"Emily.\" Ryan knew what he was planning was illegal and mentioned going to jail several times. He knew the risks and the consequences. But like most predators, Ryan Mount thought molesting a twelve-year-old girl was worth taking that risk. Now he faces a year in jail, five years probation, and must register as a sex offender.

Ryan showed up with condoms, lube, and a meth pipe. There is no doubt in my mind what would have happened had a real child been in that home instead of the LBPD.

Many thanks to Van de Camp who did a superb job verifying. Apparently this idiot can't drive in the rain and was very late. I can't thank her enough for giving up her much needed sleep and sticking this one out.

I would also like to extend a heartfelt thanks Senior Deputy District Attorney Mike Fell, Detective Tony White, and all the fine officers involved in this operation. They were professional, dedicated, and a pleasure to work with.
