Man pleads guilty in Myspace sex case:

A registered predatory sex offender accused of having intercourse with a 14-year-old girl he met through a popular Internet site pleaded guilty Friday in St. Louis County District Court to two crimes.

Shaun Michael Roethlisberger, 22, pleaded guilty to third-degree criminal sexual conduct and with violating predatory offender registration provisions for not notifying authorities of his current address.

St. Louis County prosecutor Vern Swanum and Duluth defense attorney David Keegan said Friday that part of Roethlisberger’s sentence will be dependent on a psycho-sexual evaluation and whether he is amenable to sex offender treatment at a local facility.

Duluth Police Chief Roger Waller had called a news conference at City Hall in June to announce Roethlisberger’s arrest. Waller said it was an “important community event” to remind parents of the potential dangers young people face on the Internet.

According to the criminal complaint, Roethlisberger, formerly of Ely, has a prior fifth-degree criminal sexual conduct conviction and was required to register as a predatory sex offender under Minnesota law.

Police said that Roethlisberger met the girl on the Internet site Myspace.com. The girl told police that after she and Roethlisberger communicated online they talked on the telephone about having sexual relations.

They met near the Miller Hill Mall and went to his house and had sex. They met again in a park in West Duluth on May 20 and had sex.

The teenager said Roethlisberger knew she was only14 years old because she was identified that way onMyspace.com. She told police the defendant told her not to tell anyone about their sexual encounters because if she did, he would go to jail.

Another registered sex offender goes on to prey again. Why bother to see if he’ll take to treatment? It’s obvious that he won’t. Anyway, we do have Roethlisberger’s MySpace.

That wannabe gangsta fetish recurs often with these slimeball younger offenders. Makes you wonder what really motivates their sick behavior.

Figures, he’s a Stone Cold Steve Austin fan. There’s something to say about his fans. They aren’t known for having a high IQ or being respectful of authorities and women. I hope they lock him up.

Its not molestation, its not preditory if she consented to it. Its as much her fault as his, and He shouldn’t be punished because for one, shes the premature slut, and for another, what happens behind closed doors in a relationship, should stay that way. I dson’t care if people think its sick, I don’t care if people say hes a nasty perv, because you know what, shes just as much to blame. And the article has it wrong too… He was 21 when he did this, not that that fact makes a big difference, but it does.

Yeah it’s kinda funny Temari, you even say anything nice about a piece of shit like Shaun. Look at the date of when he plead guilty to CSC, August 18th, 2006. Exactly one year before that, he raped me. I spent August 19th 2005 in the Virginia Police Station and the Ely Police Station, oh and did I forget to mention that August 19th was my 20 th birthday??? Yeah he’s a scum sucking son of a bitch. If the Ely police were such idiots shaun would have never touched another girl. Oh and another thing, isn’t that failure to register charge funny and pretty obvious to you… HES A PREDATOR! He’s done it before and he will do it again.

I met Shaun in 03 and he forced himself on me. I tried to be friends with him and found out he was Bi-Polar so I tried to stop contact with him. He had his friends call my cell and threaten me. I had to change my cell serivce. I was over 18 at the time but it was still wrong his ass needs to be in jail!!!!!

I lived with the song of a bitch. He was sick then and he’s sick now. What I don’t understand is why anyone would CONSENT to having sex with that. I remember more than once he would bring 14-16 year olds up to our apartment until myself and my two other room mates told him enough.
