The provided text appears to be a transcript of a sting operation conducted by an investigative team, with the aim of catching online predators who engage in illicit activities with underage individuals. The main figure in this case is Jessie Velez, a 28-year-old general manager of a major sandwich shop chain. He was caught in a sting operation where he was attempting to meet a 13-year-old boy, named Jason, who he believed was interested in him. He was planning to meet at a public place and even asked Jason to live with him.
Velez communicated with Jason in graphic detail, expressing his sexual desires towards the boy. He even sent explicit pictures of his private parts and asked Jason to send him nude photos. When Jason, who was actually an undercover operative working for the investigation team, asked for proof of Velez's identity, Velez was caught off guard. The operative, pretending to be a 13-year-old boy, managed to keep Velez engaged in conversation and distracted.
Velez was eventually arrested by the Fairfield cops and charged with attempted risk of injury to a minor and enticing a minor by computer. He was required to register as a sex offender for ten years and was sentenced to five years in prison, suspended after serving two years. The sting operation was a collaborative effort between the Fairfield police and the Predator Watchdog group.
