Online investigator has targeted others

Online investigator has targeted others: "The individual whose online investigation pushed the Grand Junction Police Department to probe suspected “Internet improprieties” of a local high school administrator said this was not the first time he has conducted an online sex sting.

The independent Internet investigator, calling himself “Heather Sorbel,” said in a series of e-mails to The Daily Sentinel that he has repeatedly set out to scare suspected online predators into turning themselves in.

Sorbel declined to say how many times he has conducted online stings in the past, but said, “Internet solicitation is so rampant that if I, or any other citizen that is doing this, went to the police with every pervert I came across, those departments would be overwhelmed.”

Sorbel said he was compelled to contact news agencies because he thought the “chatter” might be Grand Junction High School Athletic Director John Walker, someone “in a position of authority over children.”"
