    More on accused craigslist rapist

    Tigard man in court accused of Craigslist rapes:

    In one of the posts, I made about accused craigslist rapist Ronald M. Leistiko, a commenter asked what kind of ad was Leistiko posting to lure these women to his house.

    According to the article, he wasn’t posting ads but responding to ads…

    Leistiko allegedly answered ads on Craigslist along with other Internet sites, which offered services such as lingerie modeling and escort service.

    That makes this case even more disturbing, since one of his victims was 14.

    Police search for more victims of alleged Craigslist attacker:

    Oregon police are looking to the public’s help in the case against 52-year-old Ronald M. Leistiko. He’s the Tigard, Oregon man accused of luring girls and women to his house via craigslist and raping them.

    Investigators say Leistiko targeted escorts and strippers he met on Craigslist. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 35, police said.

    He’s charged with assaulting three women, but an undercover officer believes there are likely dozens more who are afraid to call police.

    Police say they won’t charge admitted prostitutes if they come forward to report they were raped.

    Anyone who may have information or possible involvement is urged to contact either Portland Police Bureau Detective C. Waddell at (503) 823-0697 or Officer M. Burkeen at (503) 823-0424.

    In addition, callers can also contact Tigard Police Detective Kevin Dresser at (503) 718-2576.

  • Not guilty plea in Ky. MySpace sex case

    Not guilty plea in Ky. MySpace sex case

    Not Guilty Plea In “MySpace” Case:

    22-year-old Gary Smith of Franklin County, Kentucky, has pleaded not guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old girl that he met on MySpace.

    I still don’t understand why guys in their 20s have to go after underage girls. When I was 21, I dated a girl who was 19. As much as I loved her, it was a pain in the ass because we couldn’t go to places that were 21 only.

    Not to mention the whole IT’S ILLEGAL aspect of it.

  • Jon Erik Frisvold

    Jon Erik Frisvold

    Larksville man charged in sex assault on teen:

    28-year-old Jon Erik Frisvold of Larksville, Pa. was arrested this week for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in his house on multiple occasions. It’s not known how Frisvold knew the girl, but he used MySpace to stay in contact with her.

    The level of his alleged creepiness knows no bounds…

    Frisvold told the girl to go to his bedroom and wait for him. He asked her to have sex and said to her: “It will be good for you and it will be good for me,” according to the criminal complaint.

    The girl said she removed her shirt and pants but told Frisvold to stop because it hurt. Frisvold continued to attempt to have sex with the girl but stopped.

    Frisvold drove the girl home telling her not to tell anyone, the criminal complaint says.

    Sometime in October or November 2006, the girl said Frisvold contacted her by telephone and on myspace.com. After a conversation, he picked her up at the West Wyoming store and drove around the Back Mountain before returning to his residence with her.

    He asked her to have sex, but the girl said no. He continued to ask her to have sex when she agreed.

    After a brief encounter, the girl told him to stop. They got dressed and drove to a cafe in Wyoming.

    In January, Frisvold again contacted the girl on the telephone and on myspace.com. He picked her up at the West Wyoming store, drove around in the Back Mountain and took her to his residence where he sexually assaulted her, the criminal complaint says.

    A month later, Frisvold contacted the girl again on the telephone and on myspace.com. He told the girl he was bored and picked her up at the store in West Wyoming, and took her back to his residence where he assaulted her, police said in the criminal complaint.

    Frisvold was released on $25K bail. I wonder if he’ll pull a Shefelbine.

    I really hope that the kid in his profile pic isn’t his.

  • Colleen Grear sentenced

    Colleen Grear sentenced

    Former Scripps lab tech gets year in jail for sex with boy, 14:

    Over a year ago, I posted the story of Colleen Grear. She was the 22-year-old single mother lab tech who started a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy via MySpace. At first, he said he was 18, but when she found out his real age, she didn’t seem to care.

    Yesterday, Grear pleaded guilty to charges of lewd and lascivious battery. Under the terms of the plea, she will spend a year behind bars, 2 years on house arrest, and 10 years as a registered sex offender.

    Being placed on sex offender probation carries special conditions regular probationers don’t have, such as being prohibited from living within 1,000-feet of a park, school or playground and barring contact with children under 18. Grear cannot have a job where kids regularly congregate and she cannot own or view pornography. She must submit to an HIV test and undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation and complete any recommended treatment. If she violates her probation, she faces 15 years behind bars.

    What do you think of the sentence? Is it fair? Would a man have gotten more or less, do you think?

    Grover Beach man charged with molestation

    MySpace relationship leads to arrest of Grover Beach man:

    30-year-old Michael David Gray has been arrested on charges of sexual molestation. Gray is accused of meeting a 15-year-old girl on MySpace and having a sexual relationship with her for six months.

    During the relationship, police say Gray provided the 15-year-old with methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and alcohol. On one occasion, he also took nude photos of the victim and showed them to others.

    First of all what kind of scumbag not only engages in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl but gives her meth and coke on top of it. Secondly, where were this girl’s parents?

    18-year-old Frank Kelley of Millville, New Jersey was arrested after using MySpace to set up a meeting with a 12-year-old girl.

    The unnamed victim’s parents told police they found their child with Frank Kelley at Mulligan Field — a local recreation park located in the north end of the Villas section of Lower Township, Cape May County — after finding messages between the two on a computer.

    The article doesn’t state what happened at the meeting, but Kelley was charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

    Aaron Stanga

    Man pleads guilty to rape after meeting teen using MySpace:

    Meet Aaron Stanga. He’s a 21-year-old from Sioux Falls, SD who pled guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old girl that he met on MySpace. He’s looking at 5-years under the plea. However, there should be a parent being locked up for negligence…

    The victim told police she presented herself as 24 years old when she first began chatting with Stanga. The defendant told police he thought the girl was 16 when they had sex in June at her house.

    She said she was 24, and they had sex at her house. Parents anyone?

    Shefelbine’s dad gets probation

    Suspect’s Father Gets Probation:

    David Shefelbine, the father of suspected serial predator Scott Shefelbine, received probation for punching out a female reporter.

    David Shefelbine of Tolland, father of Scott Shefelbine, received the special form of probation for a year, by Judge Patricia L. Harleston.

    In granting the probation, Harleston directed David Shefelbine to have “no assaultive behavior toward anyone, particularly anyone in the news media.”

    I guess there goes the father-son picnic at county lockup.
