Psychologist (Psycho) heads to Prison

  According to the feds, " A Seattle psychologist was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to 78 months in prison and five years of supervised release for attempted travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct and attempted receipt of child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.  JONATHAN BRENT WULF, 62, of Seattle posted an ad on Craigslist beginning a conversation with what turned out to be an undercover agent working for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigation (HSI).  Through various communications by phone and internet, WULF said he wanted to have sex with the agent’s fictional 12-year-old stepdaughter.  WULF was arrested in September 2015 when he arrived at the hotel selected as the meeting place for the sexual encounter.  At the sentencing hearing U.S. District Judge Richard A. Jones noted WULF’s career as a clinical psychologist saying “You’ve been able to see the kind of damage this activity can cause.”

            “Predators use social media and the internet to prey on children,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes.  “Even where there is careful oversight by parents, children are vulnerable to sexual predators through their online activities.  This defendant, a child psychologist, thought he could hide in the shadow of the internet.  He was wrong. Law enforcement and a prison sentence is what awaited him instead.”

          According to records filed in the case, over a two week period in September 2015, WULF repeatedly communicated with the undercover agent about his wanting to have sex with the agent’s fictional 12-year-old stepdaughter.  WULF repeatedly suggested that all text messages or other internet communications regarding his interest in underage sex should be deleted.  WULF also repeatedly acknowledged that pursuing sex with a minor was illegal.  WULF was a trained psychologist who had specialized in children and adolescents.  The Washington State Department of Health has suspended WULF’s license.

          “We entrust teachers and counselors to serve as role models for our children and safeguard their welfare, said Steve Cagen, acting special agent in charge for HSI Seattle. “This sentence should serve as a stern warning to anyone who mistakenly believes cyberspace affords them anonymity and they can use the Internet to sexually exploit children with impunity. HSI will use all of its law enforcement authorities to combat this heinous behavior -- we owe it to the children who are the victims in these cases, many of whom will bear the emotional scars of this trauma for the rest of their lives.”

I came across a lot of sex offenders or chomos in FCI Fort Dix. Many are in denial, either for safety reasons or they just denied what they did.  Some are appealing their cases. I met one chomo, by the name of Kenneth S, who said he was a lawyer. I looked up his case and it was basically the boy's testimony that did him in. The Russian boy was a bolshoy dancer. Imagine, he destroyed this lawyer's life who got a 15 year sentence. Kenneth came from a wealthy family but money cannot buy off the feds. If they find you guilty, you will sit for a long time, especially for sexual predator cases. What if he is innocent? Well, Kenneth was appealing his case when I was there back in 2013-2014 and I looked up his case and he is still in FCI Fort Dix. What can someone do to protect himself against charges like this? Security cameras and/or never be alone with strangers or you set yourself up for disaster. Look at Weberman, the guy got 102 years prison for being in a room with a young girl. He went to trial and lost. He destroyed his life.  What was he thinking? 

Dr. Wulf is lucky he only got 78 months. I saw someone with a 23 year sentence. So he should be thankful for that.
