Suspect Charged In MySpace Sex Sting

Full story and MySpace profile:

James Bryant's lunch plans were ruined Wednesday.

He arrived at 11:33 a.m. at a home on Pensacola Beach, and knocked on the door. A man answered. But it wasn't just any man.

It was Sgt. Ski Gowitzke of the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.

Gowitzke had pretended to be a teenage girl on the online social networking site MySpace.com and was there to arrest Bryant. Bryant is accused soliciting sex from a girl over the Internet and arranging to meet her.

"I opened the door, and you should have seen his eyes," said Gowitzke, a 33-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office. "They were as big as watermelons."

Bryant, 20, of the 1500 block of Darby Lane in Pensacola, was charged with computer pornography solicitation of a child, attempted lewd and lascivious battery, and attempted lewd and lascivious conduct.
