Summary

Lucas Ralph Field is a predator that was caught in a Monroe County, Michigan investigation of Takedown.  At the time of the sting, Field had been living in Ida, Michigan. He was "self-employed in the nursery business," referring to landscaping. At the time, Field's 96-year-old mother had been living with him, with Field responsible for her care.  Field had been communicating with a decoy posing as a fifteen-year-old girl. Field told the decoy that if she ever wanted to leave home without any place to live, that she should contact him. He also requested that the two get together for breakfast the next morning so that he could meet her in preparation for her possibly running away in the future. He expressed concern about the meeting the decoy in public, however, due to her age.  The conversation quickly turned, with Field asking how much the decoy would charge for "DFK" (Deep French Kissing) in his truck that night. Field acknowledged that concern, stating that he was only "trying to find a happy medium," whereby he could still sexually exploit a child without having full sex.  The sting was set up in a local hotel room. Field had initially got lost finding the room, but after calling the decoy a second time, he was able to find it. After entering the room, Field was immediately taken into custody by police and sat down for a talk with Chris. When asked what the decoy's age was, Field acknowledged that he knew her age to be fifteen.
