Stephen Coates was a 56-year-old worker in the Biotech industry and also produced music at the time of the sting. He chatted with a girl he believed to be thirteen years old with the screen name "greendaychikk". Within ten minutes of his contact, he steered the conversation towards sex with an emphasis on having anal sex with the girl so they can have sex but she would still be a virgin and gave a detailed plan how to do it so it wouldn't hurt her.
