Roger Brummit

**Roger Wayne Brummit Sr.** is a potential predator caught in the Greenville, Ohio sting.

## Chat with decoy

Roger Wayne Brummit Sr., a 45-year-old employed truck driver, made contact with a Perverted Justice decoy he believed to be a 13-year-old girl. Without hesitation, Brummit immediately embarked on a process of grooming, shamelessly complimenting the decoy and commenting on her physical appearance. He went as far as describing her as "hot" and remarked that she possessed the physique of someone older, suggesting a resemblance to a 17 or 18-year-old. As their conversation progressed, Brummit wasted no time delving into more explicit territory. When the decoy mentioned being home alone, he openly confessed that if he were younger, he would eagerly schedule a meeting with her. However, he expressed genuine concern about potential legal repercussions due to her supposed age, demonstrating a partial awareness of the gravity of his intentions. Disturbingly, Brummit proceeded to inquire about the decoy's relationship status, specifically probing into the age of her boyfriend and whether they had engaged in sexual activity.

Utilizing explicit language, he conveyed his desire to engage in oral sex, explicitly stating his intention to "eat [her] out." He then proceeded to ask about her own experiences with oral sex and made it clear that he wanted her to perform it on him. Brummit, persisting in his inappropriate conduct, proposed the idea of meeting in person. Expressing his fear of legal consequences, he emphasized his desire to avoid getting into trouble. To facilitate their illicit encounter, he suggested renting a motel room, ensuring secrecy and privacy away from prying eyes. Brummit disclosed his concerns about his own family, specifically mentioning his brother and his wife, stating that he did not want them to discover his illicit activities. Before ending the chat, Brummit estimated that it would take him approximately an hour and a half to reach the location of the decoy's house.

### Sting and arrest

Roger embarked on a journey of over 90 miles to reach the sting house located in Greenville, Ohio. However, upon arriving, he was met not by an actual child but by the voice of Del Harvey, one of the Perverted Justice team members. Engaging in casual conversation with her, Brummit remained unaware of the imminent confrontation that awaited him. Suddenly, Chris Hansen revealed himself and instructed Brummit to take a seat. Compliance seemed to be his initial response as he approached the stool. However, almost instantly, Brummit had a change of heart and attempted to flee from the sting house, desperate to escape the impending consequences of his actions. Unfortunately for him, law enforcement officers swiftly intervened, apprehending him and placing him under arrest.

## Behind the scenes

Following his arrest, Brummit faced a single count of attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, which was classified as a fourth-degree felony. On November 8, 2006, he entered a guilty plea in relation to the felony charge. Subsequently, on January 8, 2007, Brummit was sentenced to two months in jail with credit given for two days already served, was placed under community control for a period of two years, and was required to register as a sexually oriented offender for a duration of 10 years. As part of his sentence, Brummit was mandated to complete 40 hours of community service and participate in psychotherapy treatment aimed at reducing the risk associated with sex offenses. This treatment was to be carried out through an approved agency.

Brummit was also prohibited from being in the presence of children under the age of 18 without the supervision of another adult. He was also forbidden from possessing any pornographic images and was required to abstain from alcohol and the use of illegal drugs. In addition, he had to comply with DNA sampling and undergo random drug testing. The financial obligations accompanying his sentence included paying court costs, a fee of $500 for sex offender risk evaluation and treatment, as well as the recommended costs of prosecution amounting to $1,477.34. Furthermore, Brummit was expected to actively seek and maintain employment. Failure to comply with the terms of his community control could have resulted in the imposition of more stringent sanctions and a potential one-year prison sentence. Brummit successfully completed his community control in 2010 and was removed from the sex offender registry in either 2018 or 2019.
