Trent Diesel denies underage sex charges

Last week, Men of Porn discovered that recently retired Trent Diesel - who is married to a woman, but considers himself bisexual - was one of sixteen men arrested in a Wisconsin-based sex sting.

The Internet Crimes Against Children sting is considered one of the largest in state history, and took place in March.

"We want to make sure the public is aware of what's happening in their community and that this will not be tolerated in the state of Wisconsin. On a county level, the city level, it's going to be stopped," said Brown County Sheriff John Gossage at the time.

Diesel is now giving his side of the story, saying that the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding.

He said that, at the time, he was overtired and coming off a bit of a high when he decided to go online to look for a woman to hook up with.

"As usual I got a few spam responses," he explained. "The few that said they were real that I knew nothing would come of so I treated them as comic relief and cracked stupid jokes in response to their questions and comments."

He said one e-mail then caught his eye from a person claiming she was 15. He said: "I thought this is hilarious, so I continue this conversation saying how if either of us is a cop, the other is in so much trouble. The way the email was written, I know the person on the other end is certainly not who they said they are. No abbreviations, no text speak … all carefully formed sentences. So I think it's someone with some weird fantasy or someone playing a joke. So … I continue the conversation."

He asked her to call and she did. "To my surprise I get a call from what sounds like a middle-aged woman asking if I want to meet, etc., etc. so at this point I think, “Wow this is some chick with a weird fantasy.” OK I’ll play along. I go to meet her and I am arrested."

The matter is now before the courts.
