FOX 13 News uncovered new documents surrounding the man police killed during a child sex sting operation in South Seattle.
Seattle Police say Bruce Meneley thought he was meeting an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old at the DoubleTree on Southcenter Parkway. Body camera footage shows the person identified as Meneley by the King County Medical Examiner pulling a gun out as soon as officers open the door to contact him.
New documents FOX 13 News obtained from the U.S. Military show Meneleys official history with the Navy. Meneley enlisted in 1975 and retired in 2016, holding powerful positions in several different countries during that time.
According to the Navy records, Meneleys last duty station was Fort Sam Houston, Texas, with the Defense Medical Readiness Training Institute. He was stationed there from 2014 to 2016.
According to probable documents FOX 13 Seattle obtained from Kitsap County, a little more than a year after Meneley retired, he was arrested in a human trafficking sting operation.
The records say Meneley took out money, and expected to have unprotected sex with a prostitute for $110. However, Meneley was actually talking to investigators posing as sex workers.
During the arrest, Meneley admitted to contacting several other sex workers in the past, and paying for sex at least one other time within the last year. Investigators said Meneleys number popped up in at least two other sting operations, but he was never arrested.
Dude showed up armed to meet an 11-year-old and a 7-year-old
This guy got caught it two different sting operations. It really makes you wonder how much he must have been doing it if he was caught twice.He worked in Afghanistan for a long time apparently, where US troops worked alongside and turned a blind eye to wide spread sex abuse of children and underage sex slaves (because boys dont count as men for homosexual activity as a religious sin or something(?), etc.)
Did this guy seriously believe these kids would just be hanging out at a hotel by themselves? Gotta love dumb criminals. I'm glad he's dead.Depending how deep he was into those kinds of circles, he may have fully expected some kind of handler to be on site.
People seem to put doctors in god status, but they can be just as pervy and disgusting as anyone else.
And also dumb apparently. Why would he think an 11 and 7 year old actually wanted to meet up with him at a hotel? That makes zero sense.
Just shows how dangerous these types people are. Dude brought a gun to meet a child; so who the hell knows what else he had planned.I imagine most veterans carry a gun.
War and sex abuse goes hand in hand sadly.Military cover up and secrecy is at an all time high. No one wants to publish what really happens without repercussions. Aka.. They may not live long after the story breaks out.
Im half italian and I heard so many stories of american soldiers sexually abusing children in Italy during the war. But I never even heard this mentionned in any media at all.

I will say that since he's former military, I think he just conceal carries wherever he goes. I know a few vets that do that. So not necessarily anything sinister planned with that gun. Still a terrible person though.

Dude brought a gun to meet a child; so who the hell knows what else he had planned.What probably happened is the would-be predator was paranoid it'd be a sting and brought the gun with him with the intention of brandishing it and dying via suicide-by-cop if he opened the door and was greeted by law enforcement.

Still a terrible person though.I'm gonna go ahead and not give the benefit of the doubt to the violent pedophile, personally.

Right wingers will ignore this because it doesn't suit their narrative. They love themselves some military way too much. Soldier man can't do wrong.
Huh? Right-wingers dont like these type of people either.Which is why there's so much outrage from them regarding this event.

Motherfucker got off easy. Should've rotted in a cell, afraid for his well-being for a good 30 years.Should be life honestly.
Should be life honestly.Guy was 67.
I'd say that's not true.US has bases all over the world. They may have improved in the US (not everywhere) but when they are world a part. Very unlikely. Which this person was off base.
A lot of culture changes have happened inside the military due to how hard it is to keep secrets anymore.
Hell, hazing is almost non-existant anymore because of the advent of the cell phone.
Not to say cover ups don't happen, but it's a lot easier for shit to come to light than ever before
How do you know he was right wing tho. There's lots of democrats in the military.That post wasn't saying that the pedophile was right wing. Just that the right wingers in general will gloss over the fact that there was a pedophile in the military. Because they love the military and only care about "protecting the children" when they can use that to vilify groups they don't like.
CE loves extra-judicial police killings now?Him being a pedophile aside, he attacked the police while armed. He got what was coming based on that alone.

Um, he tried pulling out a gun on them. Not sure what else you expected?Loads of people on this board rail against cops when they act in self defense
