## Biography

Brian Lindsey, a 24-year-old former aircraft mechanic for the Air Force, began an internet conversation with a girl he thought was fifteen-years-old and named "Natasha." He told the decoy he was searching for a hookup after only a few minutes of conversation. After talking for a few days about his life and background, Brian all of a sudden mentions that he prefers oral sex than vaginal sex and anal sex. After a few more days of chatting, Brian says he "can't control his horny level" and continues to discuss the sex activities he wants to have with the girl. Brian has been labeled "perhaps the most boring man on the planet" on the Perverted Justice website.

## Sting and Arrest

Brian travels two and a half hours to reach the sting house. Del Harvey, who is pretending to be the teenage girl, offers Brian some sweet tea when he gets to the house, but Brian declines, saying he drank something on the drive. Then Chris Hansen comes in and tells Brian to sit down. When asked what he was doing tonight, Brian replied that he was "just driving around" and claims he needed directions after spending two years in the air force away from Georgia. After that, Chris reads from his conversation log. Chris reads, "I take it you're a virgin?" Brian misunderstands that Chris is reading from the chatlog and responds, "No sir," believing Chris was asking him whether or not he is a virgin. Chris then says he is reading the conversations between him and the decoy from his chat log.

As an adult man, Brian claims he was aware that having sex with a minor is "jailbait," so he decided against having any sexual activity with the child. He asserts he wants to be friends and go bowling with her. Chris challenges his lies by referencing his sexually explicit chatlog. Brian continues to deny that he wants to have sex with the girl, at which point Chris admits that he works for Dateline NBC and the cameras come out. Brian maintains once more that he went to the sting house to hang out, talk, and go bowling rather than to have sex with the girl. Brian responds that he should just be able to go home and "take it as a lesson learned" when Chris wonders what should happen to him. Unfortunately for Brian, this wasn't the case because he was arrested after leaving the house.

## Aftermath

In February 2007, Brian was tried and convicted on criminal attempt to commit child molestation and criminal attempt to commit statutory rape, both felonies. He was sentenced to ten years in prison with a minimum of five years to serve, fifteen years of probation, and lifetime registration as a sex offender. He was paroled and released from prison on January 13, 2010.
