https:\/\/usobserver.com\/duluth-police-entrapment-of-dr-adekweh\/<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\u201cA medical doctor from Minnesota, Dr. Ogechukwu Victor Adekweh, was earlier arrested by the police after a scheme to entrap him. He is not only facing a felony conviction \u2013 he is also facing deportation which will end his career as a doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIn fact, prior to the publishing of this article the first fifteen Google search results of his name and city of residence were all related to him being criminally charged, portraying him as a pedophile. Every article painted the picture of guilt. None of the articles pointed out that he was looking for an adult, not a minor. Police and prosecutors used mainstream media to publish their one-sided version of the story. Dr. Adekweh is supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty; however, the government\u2019s use of media in this way ensures their perspective is what is seen by the public in the jurisdiction where his jury will be chosen, and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cWhat a great way to win convictions; rig the system. The public, even those who are skeptics of police, buy into it. Many say, \u201cHe should have ended the conversation when the officer said, \u2018almost sixteen\u2019\u201d \u2013 sixteen happens to be the legal age of consent in Minnesota.<\/span><\/p>\nBut for Dr. Adekweh, he did not believe the undercover agent to be that age. First, he had met the cop on a website titled, \u201cadultlook.com.\u201d He clicked on an adult ad that stated, \u201c18.\u201d The adult ad showed photos taken in a hotel bathroom of a woman, who was really a twenty-seven-year-old cop. He was always deceived about the real age of the person he was communicating with. He never talked to an eighteen-year-old, nor fifteen-year-old, he was really talking to an adult cop \u2013 who was twenty-seven-years-old, who used photos of a twenty-seven-year-old cop for the ad. But the ad, on an adult website, stated an adult age. That is what he clicked on. That is what he intended.\u201d Everything was a trap.<\/span><\/p>\nFinally, on September 22, 2022, Dr. Adekweh was found not guilty. He was a victim of police entrapment, in that officials used bait and switch tactics against an individual whose intent was never what he was charged with. Acquitted at last.<\/b><\/p>\n
