Child Sex Abuse Suspect Arrested

(Albany, OR) -- A social media personality helped the Linn County Sheriff's Office arrest a suspect who's accused of trying to lure a minor. The so-called "cyber-vigilantes" lure the suspect into thinking they're talking to a minor. It's similar to a sting performed by police, but the social media personalities often don't follow legal investigative techniques and can damage the case. When the social media person wouldn't fully cooperate, detectives had to use other methods to investigate and develop evidence to charge 57-year-old Burl Hilburn.
