William's Flagler Beach mugshot

**William Luke Roach** is a predator who was featured in the Flagler Beach, Florida edition of To Catch a Predator. He is best known for accidentally admitting he had intent while be arresting due to the phrasing of his claim he wasn't going to do anything "yet", as well his other sexual incidents prior to the sting.

## Biography

William Roach, thirty years old at the time and a former Tae Kwon Do instructor, chatted with a thirteen year old decoy. He had already done a few sexually questionable things that he wasn’t charged for, such as masturbating in front of his mother’s friend, “sharking” a female co-worker, and trying to forcefully cop a feel on another female co-worker's breasts. Lying to the girl that he was nineteen, he expressed a desire to “eat” the girl and making her cum. He also sent a video of himself masturbating. He ended up making a date to meet at the trap house.

Showing up late at night, he was reticent to come inside the house because he believed there was someone else inside. Roach would then engage in having a long standoff with the decoy outside asking her to flash her breasts to see if she was real. After multiple refusals, he starts to leave when he is apprehended by police. He tried to yell his way out of his arrest saying he didn’t do anything "yet", not realising that when asking an underage girl to flash her breasts with intent to molest her, you are "doing something", but they still arrested him, apparently injuring his arm in the process. When asked by investigators if he sends pictures of himself masturbating to everyone, he responded that he did and it was unfortunate. He continued to whine and moan about his arm and the discomfort of the handcuffs throughout the interview to get pity points, but it did not phase the interrogating detectives, who only uncured him before putting the cuffs back on with his hands in front of his torso instead of behind his back.

Roach made a plea agreement which he tried to withdraw afterwards, but was refused. He ended up getting 25 months in prison, eight years of sex offender probation, and lifetime status as a sex offender. He petitioned to be removed from his probation after six years, which was denied. He once again petitioned during his seventh year of probation and was successful.

## 2023 Update

Chris Hansen covered Roach in an episode of his *Predators I've Caught* podcast, revealing that, after moving to South Carolina and being listed on their Sex Offender Registry, Roach got married and had children of his own. Chris found Roach's cellphone number and, surprisingly, Roach picked up after only one ring. When Chris revealed himself, Roach became distressed, asking, "Who is this?" Chris repeated himself and told Roach he wanted to talk to him regarding their joint involvement in the Flagler Beach investigation. Roach gave Chris a very firm "No." Chris attempted to speak to Roach anyway, asking how he'd been since then. Roach said nothing and hung up the phone. Chris did not attempt to contact Roach again.
