Men hit with charges after police sting

The three men who traveled to Menlo Park to meet up with a 13-year-old, who was really a police officer, were charged today by the District Attorney's Office, a prosecutor said. Police conducted a sting operation where an officer posed as a 13-year-old girl on WhatsApp and Badoo, a dating website, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said. The officer spoke to three men, who, despite learning they were texting a minor, continued to text back, Wagstaffe said.
