    Child porn found on craigslist killer’s computer

    Cops: Child pornography found on accused Craigslist killer’s computer:

    While investigating the murder of Katherine Ann Olson, police found child porn on the computer of her accused killer, Michael John Anderson.

    In the affidavit for the search warrant, a BCA agent described it as “a photograph of two pre-teen boys, clearly under the age of 18, in the nude.” It describes the boys engaged in a sex act.

    Anderson is accused of placing a phony ad for a nanny job on craigslist. When Olson responded to the ad at Anderson’s house, he allegedly killed her.

    Teen testifies against Lori Drew

    Woman Testifies Against Lori Drew in MySpace Hoax Case:

    19-year-old Ashley Grills is the girl who actually created the fake MySpace profile of ‘Josh Evans’ that led to the suicide of Megan Meier. She’s been granted immunity by the California grand jury in exchange for her testimony against Lori Drew, the 47-year-old woman believed to be behind the whole nefarious plot against Megan Meier.

    Grills admitted for the first time publicly that she created the profile of Josh Evans, and she told Roberts that she wrote the cruel words, “the world would be a better place without you,” that may have pushed Meier over the edge.

    Grills said that she was trying to end the “relationship” because she felt that the joke had gone too far.

    “I was trying to get her angry so she would leave him alone and I could get rid of the whole MySpace,” Grills said.

    Or you could have apologized to Megan and told her the truth.

    Anyway, it sounds like Lori Drew wanted to take it even further…

    “She was wanting to meet him and me and … me and Lori’s daughter were both telling Lori that we thought it was going too far ’cause none of us can meet her, none of us are guys,” Grills said.

    “And she [Lori Drew] was like, it’s fine, you know, we can set her up. We can have her go meet him at the mall and go there and just laugh at her, and I thought that was wrong,” Grills continued.

    Lori is 47. Megan Meier was 13. I think it goes without saying that this is not the behavior of an adult.

    With any luck, the grand jury will hopefully start the process to bring justice for Megan Meier.

    Va. attorney arrested in craigslist child prostitution sting

    Attorney Arrested for Answering Child Sex Ad:

    29-year-old attorney Adam Bryant has been arrested in a craigslist undercover sting where undercover detectives placed an ad on craigslist from a father who was offering his 13-year-old daughter for sex. Bryant offered $1000 and was arrested when he arrived at the predetermined meeting place.

    Investigators are also saying that Bryant has been in contact with child prostitutes since 2006.

    How is this a victimless crime again?

  • $30M MySpace lawsuit not dead yet

    $30M MySpace lawsuit not dead yet

    Family seeks revival of MySpace suit over alleged sex assault:

    The Texas family that had tried to sue MySpace over their daughter’s sexual assault is trying to get the suit revived.

    The victim, only known as Julie Doe was 14 when she was sexually assaulted by then 19-year-old Pete Solis. Solis had met his victim over MySpace. He’s now in prison for the sexual assault.

    However, the family of Julie Doe sued MySpace for 30 million dollars. The lawsuit was summarily dismissed. Now the family is asking the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to overturn the dismissal.

    As much as I sympathize with the family for what their daughter went through, I just have to reiterate that MySpace is not at fault, and this comes off as just a grab for money.

  • Sharpton earns the wrath of bloggers that matter

    Sharpton earns the wrath of bloggers that matter

    Women not tolerating Sharpton’s rape rant:

    It seems that I’m not the only one who found Al Sharpton’s comments on the Dunbar Village rape suspects distasteful.

    It seems that Sharpton has also gotten on the bad side of a group of Black female bloggers.

    “Sharpton bills himself as a spokesman for the voiceless,” wrote Tonyaa Weathersbee in BlackAmericaWeb.com “Too bad this time he decided to lend his voice to the ones who needed it the least – and guarantee that more raped black women will continue to suffer in silence.”

    Remember, Al Sharpton thinks it’s a disgrace that basically a gang who raped a woman and forced her to have sex with her 12-year-old son should be out on bail because some white teens from Boca Raton that raped two girls after getting them drunk are out.

    “Am I the only one that sees some GLARING DISTINCTIONS in these two cases that have absolutely nothing to do with the race of the defendants or am I missing something?” wrote blogger Arlene Fenton.

    Fenton organized a letter-writing campaign against the local NAACP, Sharpton and his National Action Network for using the west Boca case to make victims of the Dunbar Village teenagers.

    “It is breathtaking that the National Action Network brain trust can’t seem to comprehend the difference between a home invasion by masked gunmen who torture, rape, sodomize, cut, burn, and beat their victims for THREE HOURS and culminate the event with crime against nature committed against a 12-year-old child … and a case involving NONE of those facts,” Fenton wrote.

    Of course, being the politician that he is, Sharpton is backpedaling…

    Sharpton, who spoke with Fenton and Weathersbee on his radio show this week, now claims he never wanted the Dunbar rape suspects to be free pending trial.

    Well, at least some bloggers got to Sharpton, even if it wasn’t this northern white boy. Ladies, you have my sincere thanks.

  • Creeper fire captain turned in by own daughter

    Creeper fire captain turned in by own daughter

    Sort of…

    Former South Jordan fire captain charged in child porn case:

    45-year-old Michael Farnsworth of Riverton, Utah, is under arrest on child pornography charges. He used to be a fire captain in the South Jordan Fire Department.

    It all started when his daughter found a fake MySpace profile he was using that said he was 21-years-old. The daughter told Mrs. Farnsworth who confronted him about it. He claimed that was the profile he used to monitor his daughter’s activity on MySpace. I don’t know how he explained why all his MySpace friends were underage girls.

    A co-worker of Mrs. Farnsworth tipped off police. I wonder how the coworker was tipped off. Anyway, police did a forensic search of Farnsworth’s computers and found a cache of child porn. But not just any child porn…

    A forensic analysis of Farnsworth’s computer hard drives revealed several child pornography photos, including two listed on the nationwide Child Victim Identification Program.

    You can’t get much lower than that.

  • NIU may get task force

    NIU may get task force

    NIU Shooting Investigation:

    This is a really short article, so here it goes…

    There are new calls for a task force to be created at NIU to study the school’s response to the shootings on campus. The head of NIU’s Board of Trustees say’s she’ll be asking the school’s president to create the task force later this week. She also thinks the board needs to discuss whether an extensive review of the psychiatric history of gunman, Steven Kazmierczak is worthwhile.

    Personally, I think that would be a waste of time and money. A lot of people try to make a comparison between NIU and Virginia Tech. There is no comparison here except that lives were lost on a college campus. At NIU, the school did the best job that it could have. Police were at the scene in under a minute, if I remember correctly. There’s not a whole lot that could have been done at NIU. Stephen Kazmierczak didn’t even attend NIU anymore, so it’s not like he could have tipped off anyone there to his behavior. How could anyone have known what he was planning?

    So save the taxpayers some money or use the money for the school’s mental health assistance program.

    Sometimes there just aren’t any answers.

  • Mother in Mortal Kombat case pleads guilty to child abandonment

    Mother in Mortal Kombat case pleads guilty to child abandonment

    The mother in the so-called “Mortal Kombat Case” has been sentenced for pleading guilty to child abandonment. Dana Trujillo was sentenced to a year’s unsupervised probation. However, these charges are from an incident that happened in 2003 in New Mexico and are not related to the death of her daughter, Zoe Garcia.

    Zoe was allegedly killed by her sister Heather Trujillo and her boyfriend Lamar Roberts when they kicked and punched her, claiming to have been practicing Mortal Kombat moves.

    The charges against Dana Trujillo should give you some insight into who is really to blame in Zoe Garcia’s death. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not Mortal Kombat.

  • NC prostitute killed after meeting man on craigslist

    NC prostitute killed after meeting man on craigslist

    Warrants: Victim met suspected killer online:

    51-year-old Bernard George Lamp of Troutman, North Carolina, is accused of killing alleged prostitute Bonnie Lou Irvine of Cornelius, North Carolina. The two met over craigslist where Irvine had placed an ad.

    She also directed him to pictures of herself posted on a different Web site that authorities say is popular with men seeking prostitutes, the search warrants said.

    And here’s where it gets weird…

    Lamp was arrested after sheriff’s deputies stopped him driving Irvine’s 2001 Volvo on March 14, said Iredell sheriff’s Capt. Darren Campbell. Authorities then found Irvine’s body buried at Lamp’s girlfriend’s home in Troutman.

    According to search warrants, Lamp also met the girlfriend on Craigslist.

    And it doesn’t end there. Lamp was on probation for the attempted rape of another prostitute that happened at a truck stop on I-77 in Troutman.

    Is the money so great in prostitution that these women are willing to risk their lives each time they meet with a john? I doubt it is at a truck stop.

    UPDATE: I guess the money is that great. Check out the video from a local news station and see some of the houses these local call girls lived in.

    UPDATE 2/22/2014: Lamp was sentenced to death for Ms. Irvine’s murder.

    The last person to be executed in North Carolina was Samuel Russell Flippen. He was executed in 2006 for the blunt force trauma death of his 2-year-old stepdaughter in 1994.

    UPDATE 5/30/2016: Lamp died earlier today of natural causes. He probably died more peacefully than he deserved or afforded his victim.
