It's a story so sick and twisted, it's difficult to even comprehend, but fortunately it didn't end as badly as it could have. Ryan Firoved of Kirkland, Washington, is a registered sex offender, who had arranged to meet and rape his girlfriend's 9-year-old daughter. Thankfully, the brave mother was able to work with police to thwart his attempts, but the actions of this man and what could have happened to this girl are horrifying.
According to the Kirkland Reporter, Firoved, who is also married, told his girlfriend that he wanted to have sex with her daughter. He was blatant about his previous exploits, and according to police documents, he told her, “I guess you could say I am a pedophile, but at least I am not a predator. People come to me and I make it consensual."

Instead of just running and protecting her own daughter, the woman (who hasn't been identified to protect her daughter) went to police and worked with them to take the sicko down. But it wasn't easy.
She reportedly "played along," making him think that she would be willing to offer her daughter up as well. How disgusting and frightening that felt, I can't imagine. Police recorded a phone call she had with him in which she asked him if he wanted her to be there during the meeting. He said yes, and then explicitly told her what he'd like to do to the girl. After the conversation, he sent her a text that said he was "so turned on."
When the appointed time came, Fivored went to the hotel where the encounter was supposed to occur, and police were waiting for him. Of course, he denied the real reason he was there, saying instead that it was just a fantasy. He told them, "It is made up, sick, and a fantasy, but at the end of the day I never touched anyone."
Sick is a ridiculously gross understatement.
He's currently being held on $300,000 bond and will be arraigned on July 19. Hopefully with his prior record (he was convicted in 1999 of child rape) as well as the evidence this brave woman helped police gather, he'll be locked away and never see the light of day or be able to harm another child again.
Do you think you could do what this woman did to catch a would-be child rapist?

I would do the same as this mother did to protect any child not just my own, though I'd have to vomit after each talk with him.
Another sad part to this story is that "In Firoved’s 1999 conviction, he met a 14-year-old girl online and eventually had sex with the girl. When the man was released from prison he was classified as a Level-II sex offender but a review panel downgraded him to Level-I status “due to the sex acts being consensual in nature,” according to police documents." as reported in the Kirkland Reporter (http://www.kirklandreporter.com/news/162401056.html)
I was shocked and upset before I read that article, but someone truly needs to rethink the people on the sex offender review panel if they really consider his 14yo victim able to consent.
I HATE how easy these jerks get off in the legal system. It's DISGUSTING. (And I never hate anything or anyone. Except these people.) I honestly think that they should just be left in the regular prison system and not separated. I know it's defined as "cruel and unusual punishment," but when people are raping others (not the gf/bf thing where one just turn 18 and the other is still 17) and going after kids, I'm thinking what they do/did/atttempted is more of a "cruel and unusual punishment" to the victims. Ugh. I am shaking, I am so just blantantly disguated by this. It breaks my heart. Especially since, in my big friend group, I only know a couple of girls that haven't been sexually assaulted (usually raped, most as kids by family). It's just so sad. I mean, really? WTF are these people thinking? And how much longer before the legal system starts properly punishing these people???
For all of you negative judgemental commenters who think they know this woman and all of the details; you know nothing of this woman, nobody here commenting does. Did you ever stop and think he did not tell her he was married or a child rapist; or maybe he assumes a different name. I know a guy that is a registered sex offender; i went to high school with him, anyway he uses his dads last name for everything, so if you were to look up the name it would not be there! You ever stop and think he could have done something like that? And I highly doubt he told her he was a child rapist; because the second she found out what he wanted to do to her daughter she ran to the police. I applaud this woman for working with the police and hopefully since this is his second offense he will get a harsher sentence.
