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.
Man admits to possessing child pornography, pursuing teens online:
26-year-old Ian Stuart Johnson of Calgary, Alberta, Canada pleaded guilty to child porn charges. It seems that Johnson would lure underage girls over the Canadian social site Nexopia offering them money and alcohol.
Every time a Nexopia user would complain about Johnson they would shut down his account only to have him open a new one.
The prosecutor said all of the communications Johnson had was with females who reside in Calgary and were between 14 and 18 years old.
The correspondence, which occurred under the user names satellite_eye, Secureca, Coca-cola55 and dmwarehouse – all Johnson’s – occurred between August 2002 and February 2005 and elicited several complaints from other Nexopia users, prompting site owner Timo Ewalds to terminate the man’s accounts one by one.
While I’m glad that this scumbag is being put away I wonder why it is that you don’t hear about the Canadian government putting pressure on these sites. Maybe they actually think it’s a parent’s job to protect their children.
What a novel concept.
How a sinister MySpace predator targeted teen girls:
Recently, Buffalo, NY police arrested 48-year-old cafeteria worker David W. Evans. On MySpace, he said he was a muscular 20-year-old called “Sex Master Adam”. He’s been charged with coercing a minor to produce child pornography, which is a federal felony.
Apparently, he either coerced or convinced underage girls to send him nude pictures of themselves. Police believe there may have been as many as 100 victims.
The police are also left asking themselves some questions that parents should be asking too.
As police continue their investigation and more girls are located, questions are being raised about the victims, too:
• Regardless of how old she thought Adam was, why would any teenage girl send naked pictures of herself to a man she had never met?
• How could the girls’ parents be unaware of what was going on?
• How common is this kind of conduct in the Internet age?
I’ll take those questions on.
Usually in these cases, children are coerced and threatened into sending these types of pictures to predators.
Some parents still refuse to monitor their kids’ internet activities.
Unfortunately, it’s all too common.
I can’t stress this enough to parents. Keep the computer in a common area where it can be monitored easily. Learn how to check the internet history of your child’s browsing. Those two simple things will go a long way in keeping your child safe online.
Hacker gets 110 years for threats on MySpace:
33-year-old Ivory Dickerson of North Carolina was sentenced to 110 years. He was accused of hacking into the MySpaces of girls from Brevard County, Florida. Sentence a little harsh, you say? Well, Dickerson would hack into the MySpaces and the girls’ computers to try to extort pornographic images of themselves. Sentence still too harsh, you say?
While investigating the hacking case, the local FBI Innocent Images Task Force uncovered a cache of child pornography dating to 1998 and videos of Dickerson with young girls, thought to be about 15 years old. In the video, Dickerson boasts of drinking with them in his room and having sexual encounters with them, according to court records.
Not so harsh now, huh?
Man pleads guilty to distributing child porn:
21-year-old Brian Johnathan Schultz of Edmonton, Alberta pleaded guilty to charges of distributing child porn. It seems that Schultz was dating a girl who was 16 and photographed their sexual exploits.
The girl tried to end the relationship, but Schultz couldn’t accept that. Schultz had started posting nude pictures of the girl on his Nexopia profile and was offering more for anyone who requested.
When the girl contacted Nexopia the photos were pulled. Schultz then presented the girl with a diamond ring, but the girl still refused. Then Schultz had set up a complete website offering photos of the girl.
Canadian law states…
The age of consent is 18 years where the sexual activity involves exploitative activity, such as prostitution, pornography or where there is a relationship of trust, authority or dependency. For other sexual activity, the age of consent is 14 years.
So the sex was legal but the photos were not.
Schultz is set to be sentenced early next year.
First off, I’ll probably have my man card revoked for this, but ladies, don’t let your SOs take nude photos of you. Eventually, they’ll find their way to the internet.
Now to the guys, we’ve all been there. We’ve all had the girlfriend that we wanted back no matter the cost after we got dumped. However, have some dignity and let her go. You’ll both be better off that way.
Thanks to LiLO for the tip.
