    Boomalicious IV

    More girls linked to sex abuse suspect:

    It seems one of our favorite new fiends, Joseph Polk, aka Boomalicious, may have some more skeletons in his closet. Not only did he allegedly pose as a teenage boy on MySpace to contact underage girls, it seems that he may have done it on Tagged.com as well. On his Tagged.com profile, Polk had 30 friends listed, all under the age of 16. So investigators believe there still may be more victims.

    But what makes this article so good is Polk’s line of defense.

    Polk denies he had any sexual contact with minors and claims he set up the accounts to research Internet stalkers, said his attorney, Phil Studenberg.

    What a coincidence that he just happens to be accused of inappropriate contact with a 14-year-old girl.

    Boomalicious II: Electric Boogaloo

    Police: Suspect posed as teen:

    I originally posted about Joseph Polk aka “Boomalicious” here. He is the 36-year-old from Klamath Falls, Oregon who posed as a 15-year-old on MySpace in order to have sex with a 14-year-old girl.

    In addition to his Boomalicious profile, he also had one under the username I-A-G. I was unable to find either. But to make matters worse, Polk was a religion teacher at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Like the Catholic Church doesn’t have enough problems with that.

    He was asked to resign that volunteer position by the church. The church has talked to the children under Polk’s tutelage, and so far, no abuse has been discovered.

    Randall S. Shesto II

    Band singer charged for sex with girl, 15, he met on MySpace.com:

    The green-haired gentleman pictured above is not the Joker. His name is Randall Shesto II, aka RJ Nailwounds. He’s the 20-year-old lead singer for the heavy metal band Nailwounds from Wisconsin. He was arrested for allegedly having sex with a 15-year-old girl he met on MySpace. The girl snuck out of the house to meet Shesto, and it only went downhill from there…

    Shortly after 1 a.m. Jan. 12, Shesto picked up the girl and drove to a remote area in the Town of Scott, where he pulled off the road into a field entrance and the two had consensual sex in the back seat of his car.

    The two were then driving on Mapletree Road north of Brazelton Drive about 1:40 a.m. when Shesto veered off the road and crashed the car, according to the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department. Both suffered minor injuries in the crash.

    Shesto is charged with sexual assault of a child which has a 25-year max. Shesto is out on bond.

    Here is Shesto’s MySpace. It’s been set to private but thanks to Mr. A we have the Google cache of Shesto’s MySpace. And here is the MySpace for Nailwounds.

    And remember kids. Coloring your hair is so not metal. \m/

    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.

  • Letavec pleads guilty

    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.

    Offender sentenced for Craigslist teen sex charges:

    I originally posted about Douglas French here. He’s the 36-year-old jackhole that put an ad on craigslist for models aged 16-19 and had sex with a 17-year-old girl who applied for the ad. He also supplied her with drugs and alcohol.

    French had a previous arrest for shacking up with a 16-year-old runaway in Montana. He pleaded not guilty back in August, but a judge found him guilty of using a child in a sexual display and sex abuse. He was sentenced to 15 years.

    MySpace: Man Arrested After Sexual Activity With Teen:

    36-year-old Joseph Polk of Klamath Falls, Oregon, has been arrested for engaging in sexual activity with a 14-year-old girl.

    The victim told a counselor that Polk had made contact with her in 2005 claiming he was a 15-year-old going by the screen name of “Boomalicious”.

    The two arranged to meet, at which time the victim realized the suspect was older. During this pre-arranged meeting, the two engaged in sexual conduct including oral sex.

    Detectives believe there may be other victims contacted by the suspect. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call OSP Detective Dennis Yaws at (541) 883-5713 ext. 321.

    I was unable to find a MySpace for Polk, but I’m sure with a name like “Boomalcious” he’ll be quite popular in his new home of the Klamath County Jail.

  • Scott Shefelbine arrested yet again

    Scott Shefelbine arrested yet again

    Sex Suspect Faces New Charges:

    I couldn’t make this one up if I wanted to.

    One of our most notorious predators profiled here has been arrested yet again. Scott Shefelbine was arrested again this past Tuesday on eleven, that’s 11, XI, um…eleven-o, new charges…ah ah ah ah ah. *lightning strikes* Ahem.

    For those of you that haven’t had the displeasure of reading about Mr. Shefelbine’s past transgressions click here. This time he’s been charged with five counts of first-degree sexual assault, three counts of illegal sale of liquor to a minor, attempt to commit first-degree sexual assault, kidnapping and unlawful restraint, and a partridge in a pear tree.

    To make matters worse, he’s out…AGAIN!!! So far, he’s posted $1M in bail, this time it’s $250K. Or should I say his family has posted his bail…

    Shefelbine, whose family operates a computer business, posted the new bail Tuesday. His next court appearance on the new charges is Jan. 26.

    Two questions here. Why doesn’t the court hold him without bail? I mean, he’s shown he’s a definite risk to re-offend. Secondly, why does his family keep paying his bail? Fool me once and all that. They’ll be lucky if they don’t lose their business.

    And to make two points that I’ve made before, at least he hasn’t been arrested as many times as Connecticut’s other serial molester, David Leonard. And for a state that is so down on MySpace, they sure have trouble keeping predators off the street.
