Appeal Denied

A man tried to get an appeal after being caught in a sexual predator sting, he claims the law used to convict him does not say that he could not engage in fantasy speech.

Frank Gagliardi was captured by police while he sat in his car, waiting for two 13 year olds. One was a girl he met in the “I Love Older Men” chat room. But she was really an adult tipster.

Freedom of speech is not a right granted and protected by the first amendment when it is the instrument of the crime itself is whats the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled. The court also says that it is not illegal for police to pretend to be children to trap sex offenders.
