Captain Dirk Watson; flag officer material
Polk County, Florida sheriff’s deputies arrested 104 folks in a prostitution sting according to WTSP in their operation entitled “Operation March Sadness”. Among the crowd was an Air Force captain;
A U.S. Air Force Captain stationed at Cape Canaveral was called a “slam dunk” by Judd after he was arrested following graphic online conversations with a detective who posed as a 14.year-old.
According to Sheriff Judd, Captain Dirk Watson,32, had told his family that he would not travel for a family vacation to Disney World. Instead, he was chatting with the detective and agreed to meet the individual whom he thought was a minor.
Judd said that Watson showed up to engage in sexual acts with the minor and was in possession of devices to use during intercourse.
Watson faces four felony charges for use of a computer to seduce a child, use of two-way communication device to commit felony, traveling to meet a minor and lewd molestation. He could have additional charges following the investigation.
So, you can thank Captain Watson for that extra long safety briefing this weekend and another added two hours of PowerPoint slides for your SHARP training this month.
Here’s the demographics of Operation March Sadness;
— 38 arrests were prostitutes.
— 51 arrests were “johns,” or those who solicited to pay for prostitution.
— 14 others were arrested for related charges, such as deriving proceeds from prostitution.
— 1 was arrested for traveling to meet a minor.
— 23 told detectives they were married.
— Detectives seized 2 firearms, and drugs including marijuana, Oxycodone, heroin, and cocaine.
— Many of the prostitutes traveled to Florida, and told detectives they travel across the country, having sex for money.
— The suspects ranged in age from 20 – 63 years old.
— In all, detectives filed 37 felony charges and 128 misdemeanor charges against the 104 suspects.
— Among the 104 suspects, there were a total of 191 previous felonies and 288 previous misdemeanor charges in their criminal histories.
I agree with the sheriff, by the way – Watson should have gone to Disney World with wife, kids and parents.o

Have you seen the lines at Disneyworld? You would think that after 15 years of Dateline NBC To Catch A Predator and every local, state and federal law enforcement agency doing these stings, they would catch on. Looks like the 1st Sgt will have to assemble a spontaneous Change Of Command ceremony.
Damn….its like “whack a mole”.
Or ‘whack a pervert’
Hey, perv, know that career you had? Astalabyebye, you lowlife.
He knew he was going nowhere. He didn’t have contacts with Fat Leonard.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_Leonard_scandal
He may be stationed at Cape Canaveral, but apparently he is no rocket scientist.
Had a bad feeling someone was going to say this 🙂
Gotta pick the low-hanging fruit.
Nor is he a Rocket Surgeon as we say here.
What pisses me off about all of this shit is that these fucking reprobate pedophile sacks of shit make it possible for human traffickers to ply their trade. They keep the demand for sex slaves high enough and profitable enough that traffickers are willing to provide women and children right here in the US of A to these shit bags.
We had a huge arrest in Western Massachusetts recently several local massage parlors were, shockingly I know, dens of iniquity where young women were being held against their will and made to have sex with the patrons….
Instead of fucking around with modern day slavers we should kill these fucking people, small caliber to the head behind the ear and let their bodies be used in the forensic farm for study…seize all their assets and move on.
VoV – from your mouth to God’s ear. Or just throw the bodies on the same pile with the drug dealers’.
What also pisses me off is that he’s destroyed his family. His wife and kids no longer have his income to support them, and will likely lose base housing, PX privileges, health care, etc.
Then mom is gonna have to tell the little ones why Daddy won’t be living with them anymore.
THIS is why I despise these johns so much.
I was gonna say something along those lines, VOV, but you nailed it.
My only disagreement is that bullets are single-use items. Rope, on the other hand, is reusable.
While Polk County Sheriff, Grady Judd has a good reputation for arresting miscreants, he has a court system at hand that will back him up. I would not expect this Air Force Captain to get off lightly.
Not only that, those big ears sticking out on the sides of his head will make him VERY popular in his cell block.
What a creep.
How many people have to get arrested before these Morons realize that they are not talking to a Kid online? Also, EEEWWWWWWWWW!!!! Well, enjoy being a registered Sex Offender, Dumbass pervert!
To Watson. You like children, I gather, so let’s play pretend. Let’s pretend that you are old-school Japanese and you have dishonored your family and disgraced your profession. Do it.
Don’t use a “pretend” blade when you do it, either.
Soon to be a civilian select.
On the positive side I am glad LEO is out nailing these freaks but its a bit scary that someone who would have had so much background checks slipped by. I cannot imagine that he just all of the sudden woke up one day and said “you know, I’d like to knock off a piece of 14 year old ass”.
I have always thought these guys were socially stunted and gravitated toward kids who are about their social development level.
Yeah, “I never did this before” is one of the first things out of their rotten mouths. Bet he wishes he had scrubbed his electronics clean now. I would guess the search and seizure warrant for his pc, laptop, and phone is being executed in 3…2…1…
While is is within the universe of possibility that a ped and would-be child rapist gets caught his first time, it is not in the universe of likelihood. These pieces of shit grow in confidence and get bolder after they have gotten away with stuff for a while. They come to believe that they will not be caught and, thankfully, they are wrong time and time again.
Isn’t “Dirk” the same name as that guy in “Boogie Nights”?
Dirk Diggler, the well-endowed porn star, played by Mark Wahlberg.
Dirk Watson even has a porn stash!
If there’s anything funny about this, it’s the OP name….
“Operation March Sadness”
Sad because it’s really depressing but funny because of the topical play on words.
I don’t care about the hooker and john aspect of this and I doubt most don’t. To me, the difference is that both parties know from the start what each one is. The Watson business is an entirely different matter.
Agreed in principle, but in reality of lot of the “hookers” are in fact coerced foreigners being held as virtual slaves to service those johns. So those johns are contributing to the human trafficking aspect of the crime by supplying the funds required to keep those women as victims.
It ain’t the bunny ranch….it’s more “Equalizer” than equality.
Plus – even if a john claims that he *Only* uses willing hookers, how does he go about verifying that? Do you think the girl is going to tell him that her pimp is waiting outside and that if she so much as acts as if she is unwilling, that she risks life and limb at his hands?
Like VOV – in principle, what happens between consenting adults is mostly between them in my mind. But human traffickers are pretty good at forcing women to “consent” (at least well enough to fool johns, most of whom *want* to be fooled.)
The misery these sex slaves undergo really, really makes my skin crawl. How one could do that to another? IDK. It’s beyond me to comprehend.
My Sociology class in college was taught by an adjunct professor that also worked for the FDLE where specialized in sex crimes. He did his doctoral thesis on child exploitation and sex trafficking. He told us some generalized incidents and removed much of the gory details because he said it would probably sicken half the class and bring the rest to tears. I asked my dad, a retired cop, if maybe he was embellishing and he said, ‘No. Some of that shit that goes on out there brings cops to tears…you don’t want to know’. What him and the rest get ain’t enough if you ask me. After Polk County is done with him, Uncle Sam will have his turn.
And hopefully they will throw away the key.
Lock and load…
Fire for effect, fire for effect.
“Tickle monster cocksucker.”
Round is downrange and on target.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
It still amazes me that after almost 25 years of publicly available (and popular) Internet, the some people still haven’t figured out what was true in the days of AOL, Prodigy, Delphi, PSINet, etc:
Men are men. Women are men. Children are cops.
Honorable mentions to Compuserve and every local BBS. Ahh…the ole 1200 baud modem when it took 5 minutes to download a good porn picture.
I bought my first Windows-based machine in 1994.
250 MB hard drive, 4 MB RAM, complete with a lightning fast 9600 baud modem. I thought I had the best setup ever when I plunked down an additional $400 for a CD-ROM and 57.6k modem.
And yet here I sit at my desk, transferring files onto a 128GB memory stick with USB 3.0, hoping I have enough room. (And the memory stick was less than $20.)
When I was in junior high (they call it “middle school” these days) … one of the classrooms had a computer … a trash 80 (TRS-80) with 48K RAM … we could play a game that looked sort of like Missle Command (there was a waiting list of course).
“250 MB hard drive, 4 MB RAM, complete with a lightning fast 9600 baud modem. I thought I had the best setup ever when I plunked down an additional $400 for a CD-ROM and 57.6k modem.”
Add an 8mb video adapter and a 2.5in 1.44 MB Floppy Disk and that was my first purchase for about $1,100.00 MSRP at Circuit City.
My Raspberry Pi 3 kicks its ass.
I remember when my family had THE most powerful computer on the block, an Apple III with 128K RAM which later turned out to be the Edsel of home computers.
I can’t imagine how many bad decision gates this guy must have gone through to end up in jail with a child sex offense tied to him.
They should have held the sting in All-Points Logistics’ parking lot.
I can only imagine Phildo and the boys would approve.
The money quote from the article reference Operation March Saddness:
“These folks learned a new lesson on the basketball court of life,” Judd said.
and to continue to pitiful basketball metaphors… this operation was a “slam dunk” ::eye roll::
SICK. MOTHERFUCKER.
Enjoy prison, Dirk…
Enjoy get ass-raped during your entire sentence Dirk.
Fucking cocksucker.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Shack!
Something isn’t quite right with this one. There doesn’t seem to be any Dirk Watsons in the Global across the USAF. There is a Captain Watson if you search Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral. But neither his first or middle name begin with a letter B
Letter ‘D’
Is it even possible that he has already been removed from the system? Naw, not likely. He probably thought it was cool to give the arresting officers a bogus first name to obscure his true identity.
This is his actual name and he’s already been removed from the global.
If it is his real name and it has been removed…
Well that will be the fastest I’ve seen such a thing happen.
I’m having a real hard time buying that he has already been removed from the global. As of COB today Col Jones the convicted tickle monster was still in the Global as the Deputy Chief of Safety for 9AF.
Sorry to tell you that you’re wrong. I knew him and his name on the global was dirk and he has been removed.
Judd said that Watson showed up to engage in sexual acts with the minor and was in possession of devices to use during intercourse.
Being that he’s in the Air Force, I don’t want to think about what those “devises” might be…..
I can’t speak for the other services but in the USAF males in my day always were in possession of device I needed for sexual intercourse.
My heat seeking, pulsating, quarter footer, and I were inseparable. We weren’t quite joined at the hip, but it wasn’t far away.
“quarter footer”??? (snerrrkkk!)
SO he decided to throw his career and family away for what he thought was gonna be a quickie, NOW he’s gonna be one more in the harem of Bubba & Thor for some years and then he has to register as a Sex Offender for the rest of his life!
I guess he thought that because it was Mustache March, he could get away with that Chester the Molester Porn stache.
