Ohio man pleads not guilty in school attack plot:
Accused school shooting plotter and child porn lover, Lee Billi, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
As I’m sure you know the 33-year-old Billi was arrested for conspiring to commit mass shootings in two different locations with 16-year-old Russell Frantom. It was also discovered that Billi had a plethora of child pron on his some computer. Enough to keep him behind bars for possibly 325 years.
Man Accused of School Shooting Plot Now Faces Child Porn Charges:
Back when 33-year-old Lee Billi was first arrested for conspiring to attack schools along with 16-year-old Russell Frantom of Penn High School in Indiana I theorized that maybe their friendship over MySpace wasn’t just because of their mutual admiration of Columbine. I in inferred that maybe Billi was grooming Frantom for something even more inappropriate. As it turns out I may have been right.
A search of Billi’s computer by investigators has turned up a cache of child pornography.
As a result, Billi now faces 38 counts of pandering sexually oriented matter involving minors.
Now Billi could be looking at a max of 325 years behind bars.
Nee and Kerns are both out of jail:
The following are the terms of Joe Nee’s parole.
Harris said parole supervision for Nee included counseling for anger management and a mental health evaluation. Nee also has to be screened for alcohol and drug use and has a nightly curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. He is under parole supervision until July. Coria Holland, spokesperson for the state commissioner on probation, said Nee would be on probation until May 2010.
I wonder how many incidents between now and May of 2010 will be swept under the rug due to Nee’s connections. I also get the feeling that his so-called mental evaluation and anger management classes will be just formalities.
Nee received early release from his sentence but yet the innocent, in my opinion, Tobin Kerns was denied early release. Was Tobin denied early release because of something he did or was it just because he’s not the son of the head of the Boston police union?
Underage prostitutes marketed on Internet:
This is a great article from the Sacramento Bee about child prostitution on craigslist. Again it’s not worth quoting the article much because doing to so would insult the journalists who worked on it but I will give you two quotes that will get you to read the entire article.
The first is just the opening sentence of the article…
If she tried hard, 14-year-old Jasmine could have sex with nine men a day. She’d start posting ads online at 2 or 3 p.m., in time to set up appointments with early commuters.
And as usual the craigslist big wigs had their usual non-response…
Jim Buckmaster, craigslist’s CEO, wrote in an e-mail to The Bee that “there is nothing more gut-wrenching to our staff … than to hear that our site has been abused to exploit a child.”
He said craigslist bans illegal activity and urges users to watch for exploited minors. Staff recently implemented new measures, including verifying phone numbers. The changes have reduced the volume of erotic services ads by 80 percent, he said.
I guess we have to go through this again.
First off if it was so gut-wrenching to craigslist they would do away with the erotic services section. Secondly again ‘users’ policing the site obviously doesn’t work. Like I’ve said many times before the users of the erotic services section aren’t going to flag any of the ads and users who use craigslist for normal stuff aren’t going in to the erotic services section to flag illegal ads. Lastly craigslist’s new measures may have eliminated 80 percent of the erotic ads but it hasn’t eliminated the problem of child prostitution on its site.
Stop patting yourself on the back Jim, you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
Police in Florida have arrested 36-year-old Bruce Martin. he is accused of contacting a woman through craigslist and offered to help her with her modeling career by taking pictures. When Martin met the woman he flashed a phony police badge to get her into his car and rape her at gunpoint.
Marshfield High massacre plotter released from jail:
It has now been confirmed that the ringleader in the plot to attack Marshfield High in Massachusetts, Joe Nee, has been released.
Nee had a parole hearing on March 28 and was paroled on May 8, said Terrel Harris, spokesman for the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The parole hearing came after Nee had served about half of his jail sentence.
Isn’t that funny how that works? By all reports, I received Tobin Kerns was a model prisoner and he served every last day of his sentence.
Nee’s early release wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that his father is a powerful Boston policeman, is it?
Personally, I hope that state authorities investigate Nee’s obvious preferential treatment but I won’t hold my breath on that one.
