  • Did Lori Drew have a second ‘victim’?

    Second teenager may be tied to MySpace hoax:

    Lo and behold the evil Lori Drew may have had a second victim in her alleged MySpace harassment game.

    As most of you know 13-year-old Megan Meier committed suicide after her MySpace friend, the supposed Lori Drew created Josh Evans, told her that the world would be better off without her.

    Now it turns out that another teenage girl may have been strung along by the fictitious Josh Evans.

    However Drew’s attorney is using this second girl to cast doubt on the federal prosecutor’s case.

    In his motion, Steward seeks the phone records of S.D. to prove that prosecutors mistakenly linked Meier to a message that S.D. actually sent to the fake account.

    Steward said “S.D.” was “a juvenile that was part of a group of teenagers who were texting and e-mailing each other. There were a couple of boys involved.”

    Since Drew is being prosecuted for fraud and not for Megan’s suicide I don’t think this is the best lawyering tactic but then again I’m not a lawyer.

    It also sounds like Lori Drew was enjoying herself posing as a teenage boy.

    Woman’s got more issues than Reader’s Digest.

  • More on the Pennsylvania pedophile that perused a personal ad

    Mt. Washington Man Charged After Responding To Teen’s Ad On Craigslist:

    This is a follow-up to the post I did about 38-year-old Mark Nernberg who responded to the personal ad of a 14-year-old boy.

    According to police in Mt. Washington, PA the boy did, in fact, take out the personal ad on craigslist and it stated that he was looking for sex between consenting adults. However, police say that Nernberg knew the kid was underage.

    Good job to the parents who allowed their kid to post this ad.

  • The rape and murder of Judi Lawrence

    Decatur soldier accused in rape, murder led chilling life online:

    I’m sure by the time I post this you’ve already heard about the arrest of 21-year-old Robert Hull Marko. He’s a soldier who was stationed at Fort Carson and had served in Iraq.

    He was arrested in the rape and murder of 19-year-old Judilianna “Judi” Lawrence. The pair had met and communicated through MySpace. Lawrence was said to have had a learning disability. She met Marko for the first time on Friday and never returned.

    When police approached Marko about her disappearance he claimed they got into an argument and he left her in the mountains. He eventually led police to her body.

    When you look at Marko’s MySpace it seems that he lived in a fantasy world. From his ‘About Me’ section…

    I’m pure blooded Black Raptor born as human and one day will join the ranks of my fellow people, until till them i will keep fighting against humans and will do so till the day i die, i’m becomeing a true Black Raptor already, i’m becomeing a cold hearted killer and can kill without mercy or reason. Also it is my lifes goal to bring down the word of god by fear and by doing all those that belive in fucking false god will come to fear my name and the name of my people The Black Raptors.

    The article states that this was based on an online role-playing game (RPG) but I think that it’s half from the game and half Marko’s own sick fantasies.

    According to some of the comments left on his MySpace in the wake of his arrest one woman says that she still loves him and will stick by him (fool) but another recounts the horror of the accusations.

    Scum like Marko are the lowest of the low. He took advantage of a trusting girl who didn’t know any better with a loving family. I wouldn’t doubt it if he planned on raping and killing her all along. Another social site profile of Marko’s said he was looking “for any kind of female that likes pain”. I’m thinking that Judi Lawrence was not that woman.

    Thanks to Tony for the tip.

  • Parent presents package pictures to police, pervert pinched

    Police: Man Sends Girl Cell Pics Of Genitals:

    20-year-old Jonathan Roush of Ohio has been arrested for sending naked pictures of himself to a 13-year-old girl he met over Vampirefreaks.

    The girl’s father discovered the photos of Roush’s member at full attention along with explicit text messages.

    This time you can’t even use the ‘she said she was 16’ defense because according to the article her VF profile clearly states that she is 13.

    And to add insult to perversion…

    The judge set Roush’s bond at $500,000. Newsome said when the high bond was set, a group of onlookers in the Franklin County courtroom cheered.

    I love it when people cheer the bad fortunes of criminals.

  • Social sites can boot sex offenders

    MySpace can now expel sex offenders:

    Yesterday President Bush (remember him?) signed a bill into law yesterday that grants sites like MySpace and Facebook to have access to a national database of registered sex offenders.

    With that access, the sites would be able to cross-reference their user base and expel any registered sex offenders on it.

    Sex offenders who do not register their e-mail addresses and other internet information could face up to 10 years in prison.

    I actually think this is an enormous step to getting sex offenders off of places like MySpace but again I have to note that it doesn’t do anything to keep off the sex offenders that haven’t been caught yet.

    Parents still need to remain vigilant in their kids’ internet usage. If you don’t know how to monitor their net habits educate yourself.

    Parents should always be the first line of defense.

  • A real massage therapist weighs in

    I got the following e-mail from a legitimate massage therapist. You know the ones. The ones with licenses that don’t give happy endings that usually work in an actual spa and not just some place that calls itself a spa when it’s in a rundown hole in the wall in the seedy part of town. Anyway, this massage therapist has a beef with craigslist…

    What bugs me about all the articles about craigslist is that they don’t encourage the public to flag illegal ads! As a massage therapist, hookers on craigslist give my profession a bad name. Please start encouraging people to flag these illegal ads, if we all work together we can reduce these ads! Hell, at least it’s better than doing nothing!

    Oh believe me MT, I do recommend that. However, for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. If anyone ever comes out and publicly claims they flag ads the hookers and whoremongers start a harassment campaign.

    But as long as everyone stays quiet about it I think we could theoretically get something accomplished.

    If everyone reading this went to their local craigslist and started flagging just a few illegal ads in the erotic services section maybe we could actually get craigslist’s attention on this.

  • Rub my breasts

    Man Wearing Bra, Slip Asks Woman To Rub His Breasts, Police Say:

    Here’s another reason why not to invite craigslist buyers to your house.

    A woman from Central Florida placed an ad on craigslist selling some of her bras. The person who showed up was 56-year-old Ronald Grocoff. He wasn’t buying them for his wife, or his daughter, or his mistress. Nope, they were for him…sort of.

    When Grocoff got to the woman’s residence he asked to try on the bras. He did and also tried on a slip. Now here’s where it gets weird. Grocoff asked the woman to grab his pseudo-rack then started grinding against her and grabbed her boob.

    Grocoff said, “I’m getting turned on,” according to the woman. “This is making me hot.”

    Grocoff asked the woman if he could masturbate, the arrest report said.

    The woman’s boyfriend restrained Grocoff until police arrived.

    Who in the blue hell thinks you can just walk into a stranger’s home and start cranking one out while wearing her old underwear? Ew.

    I know you probably wouldn’t want to be selling your bras in public but I wouldn’t let any craigslist ‘buyer’ into my house.

  • Pedophile answers 14-year-old’s personal ad

    Mark Nernberg
    Mark Nernberg

    Mt. Washington man charged with sexual abuse of a minor:

    Creepy child molester looking guy over there is 38-year-old Mark Nernberg of Mt. Washington, PA. He was arrested for…you guessed it…child molestation.

    He allegedly responded to the 14-year-old boy’s personal ad on craigslist. I’ll get to that in a second.

    Anyway, police found the pair in a park engaged in what police called “inappropriate activity”.

    Now back to the personal ad. I’m not going to even try to guess why this kid placed a personal ad on craigslist but I think I have a good reason why. However where were this kid’s parents when he was posting a personal ad on craigslist?

    Have you ever read the personals on craigslist? There are some pretty depraved people out there.

    I bet you think I’m going to ask why wasn’t his personal ad flagged by the ‘community’ for being underage. Well, I just went over the craigslist TOU and I couldn’t find any kind of age restrictions on it.

    Nice business practice.

  • Another out of state teen dropped off in Nebraska

    10th Safe Haven Case: Michigan Boy:

    Another out-of-state teen has been dropped off at one of Nebraska’s safe havens. This time the 13-year-old was not dropped off from across the border in Iowa but from Michigan.

    Let’s just say this trip started in Detroit and ended in Omaha. That’s an 11-hour trip.

    When Nebraska instituted this law I don’t think they wanted to become the nation’s dumping ground for unwanted teens.

    Maybe if the breeder put as much effort into parenting as they did into dropping the kid off this wouldn’t be an issue.
