MAN ARRESTED IN MANHATTAN BEACH SEX STING SUES : MANHATTAN BEACH (AP) — A man arrested in a Manhattan Beach sex sting has sued the city claiming police unfairly targeted him and violated his privacy when they publicized his name and released his photo. Charles Couch, 22, of Hawthorne filed the lawsuit Friday in a Los Angeles federal court alleging he was subject to false arrest, unlawful search and seizure, and multiple civil rights violations. The March 2012 operation involved a beach bathroom police said was known as a meeting place for men seeking sex.
