The three men have been released from jail after they were all arrested on April 28, in separate investigations that involved an officer setting up a dating site account and claiming to be 13, according to court records.<\/p>\n<p>Capati faces an additional legal problem. The California Attorney General is seeing to restrict and eventually revoke his license to be a registered nurse, citing the allegations and the \u201cextremely poor judgment\u201d they represent. A legal filing by the AG\u2019s office says Capati \u201chas shown a lack of ability to control himself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Court records say he faced a similar restriction in 2024, when he was charged with drunk driving in San Mateo and grand theft from a Livermore outlet store. Court records say he was convicted of drunk driving but got the theft case dismissed by completing a diversion program last December.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations against all three men are similar. They allegedly began talking to the undercover officer after the dating app \u201cmatched\u201d them and said sexually explicit things after the officer \u201crevealed\u201d themselves as a 13-year-old boy, according to police.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=981\">Low turnout leaves California primary unsettled as officials brace for ballot surge<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When they showed up to the meetings, they were arrested. Capati told authorities that he wanted to have dinner with the person he was talking to and see what they were like. When asked if he would have had sex with a 13-year-old he allegedly responded, \u201cI mean, maybe, I don\u2019t know,\u201d police said in court filings.<\/p>\n<p>Wang allegedly told the undercover officer \u201cI like young boys,\u201d and arranged to meet the purported boy after he was released from school that day, police said. Dutt allegedly discussed specific sexual acts and then said, \u201cYeah I want to do all that whatever you like but I don\u2019t wanna get arrested please.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When he was arrested, Dutt allegedly told police he didn\u2019t really think he was speaking with a teen boy and didn\u2019t intend to do anything like they discussed.
