Bragging to a “friend” is shaky evidence, even if the friend was an undercover cop. Confessions given in a much more official setting have been thrown out before. They knew he was a criminal, they just needed to keep an eye on him long enough to nail him

Yeah and they could detain him while looking for more evidence. Admitting to raping a child has got to be probable cause?

I just don't believe we live in a society that this doesn't warrant further attention.

Obviously in this case, it's part of the investigation. But generally speaking, I can't believe that this would be one of those "nothing we can do" scenarios. When cops are out here killing people for less. That's all. I'm cynical about law enforcement of sexual predators.
