Group’s Work Results In 3 Accused Sex Offenders Being Arrested

Just over a week after a group of Wausau residents decided to do something about child sex crimes, three suspects have been arrested.  Twenty-year-old Colton Muelver was the first to make an appearance in Marathon County Circuit Court Tuesday.  Muelver thought he was talking to a 16-year-old boy on Grindr, but he was actually speaking with members of the “Impact” group.  Wausau police say there are big safety concerns when non-professionals conduct sex crime stings.  They could also compromise the evidence they collect, making prosecutions more difficult.
