A chilling arrest in Port Orchard: 34-year-old Michael A. Rees was busted by Washington State Patrol after an undercover sting revealed his disturbing plan to meet a juvenile girl for sex and pay her mother $1,000. The operation, which unfolded at a Tacoma hotel on June 25, led to charges including attempted rape of a child and commercial sexual abuse of a minor. Investigators say the plot began in May, and authorities are now urging anyone with info to contact the Missing and Exploited Children Task Force.
