Eric Hernan Gamonal is an unaired suspected predator

involved in the Riverside, California investigation. He is known for being a

lawyer prior to being caught in the sting.  On January 6th, 2006, the

first day of the sting, using the screen name "chinaski818," Eric

made contact with a decoy he thought was a fourteen-year-old girl named Maria

Bothal. Eric was considered a "fast mover," because after verifying

that he had seen her age on her profile, he told her she was cute, inquired as

to whether she had a boyfriend, asked if he could replace him as his, and

inquired as to whether she had had oral sex before.  Chris brought all

that to a halt.
