  • Sex offender poses as 12-year-old to enter middle school

    Sex offender applies for school as a boy:

    That charming gentleman pictured at right is Neil Havens Rodreick II. He’s a 29-year-old man who tried applying to an Arizona middle school as a 12-year-old boy. It’s believed that he did that in order to lure children into dangerous and vile relationships. If you think he couldn’t pass as a 12-year-old think again because he fooled at least two other men. One of those men, 61-year-old Lonnie Stiffler, was claiming to be Roderick’s grandfather when they tried getting him into the school. Stiffler and 43-year-old Robert James Snow were shocked to find out that they were having sex with a 29-year-old man and not a 12-year-old boy. Roderick allegedly kept them fooled by using makeup and shaving his body hair.

    Well, we don’t have a MySpace for Roderick but thanks to LiLO we do have the MySpace for Robert Snow.

  • Memphis discovers craigslist sex ads

    Selling Sex Online:

    It seems that the Memphis media has heard about craigslist hookers. In their blistering expose they inform a local busybody about the existence of craigslist prostitution and of course, he’s outraged about it. The article even goes so far as to call the people placing ads “perverts”…

    One Memphis man said he would make a generous offer to a mother and daughter who would have sex with him.

    Some perverts bold enough to post their phone number on their ad. We responded anonymously to a couple of the ads and got responses back within five minutes.

    All in all this article is quite humorous for its naivety but this part I found kind of disturbing…

    We sent an email to the CEO of Craigslist to ask why these ads are allowed on the website when it clearly states in their terms of use pornographic pictures or messages are not allowed on the site. Jim Buckmaster never emailed us back.

    So if it’s against craigslist’s TOS why do they allow it to continue?

  • Mass. school stabbing

    Student charged with murder in fatal stabbing at suburban school:

    In case you haven’t heard by now there has been a fatal stabbing at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School in Sudbury, Massachusetts. James Alenson, a 15-year-old freshman, was stabbed by a 16-year-old student and was pronounced dead at 8:12 a.m Eastern Time at Emerson Hospital in Concord. The incident appeared to stem from a fight between the two. The suspect is in custody and is not being named at this time and has been charged with murder. I’ll bring you more details as they become available.

    ToF to Jade, Soobs, and Joker.

  • Quartz Hill plotter gets 5 years

    Five years in CYA for student in bomb plot:

    Johnny Alvarez Casas was sentenced to 5 years with time served to a juvenile detention center. Casas had pleaded no contest to plotting an attack on Quartz Hill High School in California. He took the 5-year plea rather than risk a 25 to life sentence if found guilty. His attorney describes Casas as a “sweet dumb kid” with an IQ of 70. I’m sorry but sweet dumb kids don’t put “WHEN IM GOD EVERYONE WILL DIE!!!” on their MySpace. Casas will be eligible for parole this November. I wonder what his cohort thinks of that since he was sentenced to 8 years. I have the feeling that once Casas gets out we’ll be hearing from him again.

  • Petitioners seek juvenile trial for Eric Hainstock

    Petitioners: Hainstock is not an adult:

    217 petitioners from as far away as Italy are appealing to prosecutors to have Eric Hainstock tried as a juvenile. If you recall Hainstock was arrested for the shooting and killing Weston Schools principal John Klang. The petitioners argue that since Hainstock was 15 at the time of the shooting that his brain was not fully developed and did not have the ability to make “good judgments”. I argue that the petitioners’ brains aren’t fully developed. Any 15-year-old knows that killing someone is against the law and will get you put in jail. Then again consider the source. These are the same people who felt Eric Schorling was just misunderstood.

    Wisconsin law states that a 15-year-old that commits first-degree murder receives a mandatory trial as an adult. They can be tried as a juvenile under special circumstances but in my opinion, those circumstances do not apply to Hainstock. Hainstock had an abusive father but he didn’t shoot his father. He shot a man who was just trying to do his job. John Klang’s family no longer have him in their lives. Justice demands that Hainstock is removed from society. Let’s bring back personal responsibility to the world.

  • Men caught in 14-year-old’s bed

    Men Arrested In MySpace Sex Case:

    These two attractive gentlemen are Jover Mabaet and Dennis Keomoungkhoune of Portland, Oregon. Both are 21 and have been arrested for engaging in sexual activities with a 14-year-old girl they met on MySpace. The victim’s father caught them both in bed with his daughter. To make matters worse Mabaet was already under investigation for possibly having a relationship with another underage girl and Keomoungkhoune is already a registered sex offender.

    Now I couldn’t find a MySpace for Keomoungkhoune but I did find one for Mabaet. According to the article, he’s 21 but on his MySpace, he claims to be 17.

  • The latest MySpace lawsuit

    MySpace.com, News Corp. sued in assault cases:

    I’m surprised that this isn’t happening more often. Anyway, MySpace and its parent company News Corp. are being sued by families from New York, Texas, Pennsylvania and South Carolina who had children that were sexually assaulted by MySpace users. The suit alleges MySpace of negligence, recklessness, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation.

    Call me callous if you want but as far as I’m concerned this lawsuit is frivolous. The people who are really responsible for the attacks are already behind bars. It’s like suing the car manufacturer if your child was hit by a drunk driver.

    This lawsuit reeks of greed. The kind of greed that can only come from ambulance chasing attorneys.

    Pat from Belchspeak has a differing opinion.

  • Gill scouted other schools

    Dawson College killer scouted other schools:

    According to Canadian officials, Kimveer Gill scouted other schools before picking Dawson College for his rampage. According to the article Gill had scouted 3 other schools. Those schools being Universite de Montreal, Vanier College, and a Laval high school. It’s unknown why he settled on Dawson.

    Police recovered a notepad from his car that contained hand-drawn sketches of routes leading to all four schools, Cmdr. Richard Dupuis said.

    On the page with directions to the Universite de Montreal, Mr. Gill had scribbled the words “too big.”

    “There are indications he may have considered other schools,” Cmdr. Dupuis said. “Did he go inside (them)? We don’t know. They were rough plans he had designed, but nothing too detailed. Just what roads to take to get there.”

    It has been known that Gill did enter Dawson College weeks prior to his assault. So it’s a not a stretch that Gill probably did enter the other schools.

  • Steve Irwin death tape destroyed

    Widow says Irwin death tape destroyed:

    Terri Irwin, the widow of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin has stated that the only remaining copy of the videotape showing her husband’s death has been destroyed. The state coroner from Queensland, Michael Barnes, said that the original was returned to Terri Irwin and all copies were destroyed. I hope to God he’s right and that some flunky down the line hasn’t stashed a copy looking to make a fast buck.

  • Letavec pleads guilty

    Man pleads guilty to assaulting girl he met on MySpace.com:

    One of the first sexual predators ever mentioned on this site, Stephen M. Letavec, has pleaded guilty in Connecticut to one count of using the Internet to persuade a minor to engage in sexual activity and one count of traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of attempting to have and having illicit sexual conduct with a minor.

    If you recall Letavec, at the time of his arrest, was a 39-year-old father of two from Elrama, Pennsylvania who met a 14-year old Connecticut girl through MySpace and traveled to Conn. to have sex with her. The girl said on her MySpace that she was 18 but later told Letavec that she was 14 prior to his visit. That scores high on the big ol’ ‘Eww’ scale. Further child molester creepiness…

    “I showed you what love is and how it feels,” Letavec wrote in an e-mail found in the girl’s school locker, according to an FBI report. “I want to show you how making love feels too, not just sex because there is a difference.”

    I feel like I need a shower just after copying and pasting that.

    Sentencing is scheduled for April 9th and he’s looking at a max of 60 years.
