Russell Lee Bennett Should've Known Better

Pontiac Man busted in Detroit sex sting.

Michigan -- Russell Lee Bennett, 38, was arrested in undercover Internet child predator sting. The Attorney General's Office and Perverted-Justice had worked together and set up a sting outside a fast food restaurant.

Bennett had been using the screen name “uchi_deshi2000" and was claiming to be a karate instructor when he began to engage in sexually explicit chats with what he thought was a 14-year-old girl. He made plans to rendezvous at a Church's Fried Chicken and hopped a bus to Detroit. He came up empty, as there never really was a girl wanting to have sex with him. Dude! How could you not know that?
