According to the announcement, Lee’s “one-man crusade has resulted in the arrest and criminal charges being filed against several men, but he has also mistakenly identified someone as a sexual predator who was not.”

“While we certainly understand his desire to hold child predators accountable, many times well-intentioned individuals who engaged in this don’t know the standard of evidence required for convictions and often underestimate the potential for violence confronting a suspected predator,” sheriff Michael Bouchard stated.

Detectives are anticipated to refer the case to prosecutors for charges, according to police.
