Very upsetting but I'm relieved the hear their plot was uncovered by the FBI. When you read all the articles, you learn that the informant was originally part of the plot. For some reason, he chickened out and went to the FBI in hopes of lowering the severity of future charges against him. So disturbing.

I am curious to learn how these criminals sourced their child victims? Whether via informal method such as flyers or Craigslist or via a site such as Care.com.

We must protect all our children.

These guys are really, really ill. It should mandatory life without parole for them and mandatory to have streaming video of what goes on in all NJ childcare centers so none of this shit can happen.

No doubt -- that needs to be ended!

And yet a whole group of "religious" folks stand around and watch this?

This is the incredibly disturbing and graphic complaint sworn against the two individuals arrested in this plot:

If you have any doubt about these vile predator's intent (or the law enforcement officer's reason for "orchestrating" this), you won't after you finish reading through this.

I think the Jersey City angle may have come in to pin an "across state lines" charge to them as well.

The picture from NY1's website matches the LinkedIn profile:

The LinkedIn profile doesn't mention anything about that tween modeling magazine you mentioned.

What sickos. Unbelievable.

Why do the feds orchestrate crimes in the first place? Deterrence or marketing?

Since these losers were from Brooklyn -- then couldn't the U.S. Attorney?s office do the sting in NYC.

Quote:

Why did the feds pick JC for the sting? I'm all for getting these kind of sickos put away, but not the best of press for JC.

Lock up those sick scum bags

I will never be able to understand what pits of hell these scum crawl from. Babies! Thank goodness he and his girlfriend were caught.

I only hope this wasn't a conduit for this predator.

A couple from Brooklyn was arrested at a Downtown Jersey City hotel on Tuesday and charged with plotting to set up a day care to drug and sexually abuse young children, according to a report on WABC-TV.

The station reported that there are audio and video recordings where the couple discussed a plan to babysit children to molest them.

According to the station, they went to the hotel in the belief they were going to meet three young children they would drug with Dramamine and take sexually explicit photos, but in fact it was a sting by the U.S. Attorney?s office.

The couple was identifided as Bebars Baslan, 35, and his girlfriend Kristen Henry, 25

.According to the station?s report, part of the plan was for Henry to sexually abuse an 18-month-old child. ?
