  • Deli owner in Hawaii arrested for molestation

    Deli owner in Hawaii arrested for molestation

    Eatery co-owner held in sex attack:

    50-year-old Lyle Mitsugi Nonaka was arrested last week on sexual assault charges. He’s accused of posing as a girl named Shayna on MySpace and getting a 14-year-old boy to send him nude pictures of himself. Once Nonaka received the pictures, he threatened the boy with sending the pictures to the boy’s friends.

    “Shayna” told the victim that an older Asian male would pick him up and drive him to a friend’s house that had a Web camera. A man introducing himself as “Lyle” picked up the boy and drove him to a home near Pearlridge, police said. The suspect, later identified as Nonaka, allegedly performed oral sex on the boy while being filmed with the Web camera.

    A second incident allegedly occurred on Oct. 23 after Nonaka allegedly threatened to post video footage of the first sexual assault if he didn’t meet the suspect to go shopping.

    That day, Nonaka picked up the boy and drove him back to a Pearlridge home and allegedly molested and performed oral sex on the boy. Nonaka then brought the boy to the Pearlridge Shopping Center and bought about $352 worth of clothing.

    The next day, the boy’s mother reported the assault to the police. Police arrested the suspect at 11 a.m. Thursday at his home.

    Details Surface In Child Porn Case Against Coach

    James Hart

    Pictured at left is one James C. Hart. He’s a coach, a youth volunteer, and a champion powerlifter. Since I’m posting about him here, you know he’s not being profiled as a pillar of the community. He’s accused of making child porn. Apparently, he used MySpace to find some of his victims.

    Hart allegedly used the website My Space.com to persuade girls as young as 14-years-old to take nude pictures of themselves and send them to him.

    Using a screen name “J-C”, with a profile that said he was 18-years-old, investigators said Hart went so far as to tell the teens to write those initials on their bodies before taking the pictures.

    The affidavit shows that the allegations against Hart stemmed from a mother’s discovery. The paperwork shows that she found sexually explicit images of her 16-year-old daughter on the home computer.

    Hart was allegedly coercing the 16-year-old using MySpace.com to have her send more images. In a chat, the affidavit shows, Hart messaged the girl, saying, “Maybe I will just print the pics (another girl) sent me and pass them around town with your name on them.” The girl responded: “I don’t like it when people are so controllive.” Hart responded: “Look, I am not asking. I am telling you, send the pics now,” the affidavit shows. Sgt. Scott Christensen could not talk about Hart’s case, but said that in other Internet sex cases he investigates, it is common for predators to coerce children into sending more photographs.

    It seems he had the prerequisite hidden camera too.

    Police said that Hart would have the girls over to his duplex, where he would coach them and have them change their clothes in a dressing room where he hid the camera. “Parents need to be aware,” said Christensen. “They need to be involved. Unfortunately, our coaches aren’t some place like you drop your kids off for baby-sitting.”

    There were three different girls videotaped in Hart’s basement, police said, and all three have been identified and notified.

    Since he was using a bogus MySpace account, I could not locate it but…

    Hart’s MySpace.com profile listed himself as an 18-year-old male. He had over 1,000 friends.

    That’s one sick dude right there.

    And from that picture, doesn’t he look like he should be looking for his red Swingline stapler?

  • MySpace sex offender facing child porn charges

    MySpace sex offender facing child porn charges

    Sex offender faces child porn charges:

    Carl Courtright of Granite City, Illinois was one of those registered sex offenders that had a profile on MySpace when he shouldn’t have. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan used that to obtain a search warrant for Courtright’s home.

    Police searched the house on the morning of Aug. 9 and seized several computers, hard drives, and computer equipment.

    One DVD, listed in the search warrant return, is titled “Dateline NBC to Catch a Predator.”

    Investigators with Madigan’s High Tech Crimes Bureau used IP address information obtained from MySpace to learn that Courtright had been actively trading pornographic images over the Internet.

    “Child predators who think they are safe hiding behind a computer screen are no longer anonymous,” Madigan said in a written release. “We have the technology and we are committed to using all of our resources to seek them out and hold them accountable for their crimes.”

    It’s nice to see that a state attorney general is using the information to go after criminals and not just MySpace.

  • Joshua Innes sentenced.

    Joshua Innes sentenced.

    Nine years:

    I originally posted about Joshua Innes here. He’s the 25-year-old creep from Montreal who blackmailed underage girls into stripping for him using the Canadian social site Nexopia.

    He was sentenced to 9 years behind bars by an Edmonton judge.

    Provincial court Judge James Wheatley said Joshua Innes’ crimes are “unprecedented” and that other predators must be deterred from following suit.

    I don’t think a nine-year sentence is going to be enough to discourage these kinds of predators.

  • Werribee teens get additional charges

    More charges on sex DVD:

    The teens from Werribee, Australia who are facing charges for distributing a DVD of them sexually assaulting a girl have had additional charges filed against them.

    A children’s court heard yesterday the boys, two aged 16, six 17-year-olds and three aged 18 will face another charge each of procuring the victim to take part in sexual penetration by intimidation.

    Four of the accused boys have been charged with two counts of procuring sexual penetration by intimidation and making child pornography, and seven face the same three charges plus one count of assault.

    Up to 12 boys were investigated for allegedly coercing the Year 12 girl to have sex in the homemade DVD, titled C— the Movie, allegedly made between June 1 and June 30 last year.

    The ten minute film was copied and distributed to students at Werribee schools.

    The film showed the girl performing a sex act, being urinated on, and having her hair set alight.

    Sources told the Herald Sun in November at least one of the teens allegedly featured on the DVD continued a relationship with the victim for several months after the film was made.

    But will these charges bring a longer sentence if these thugs get any real sentence at all?

  • Long Island predator on MySpace arrested

    MySpace Leads to Arrest of Sex Offender:

    41-year-old Joseph Burkett of Sound Beach, New York was arrested on Thursday on charges of molesting 5 boys.

    The police investigation began several weeks ago when officers received an anonymous tip “that an adult male may have a MySpace page and (may) be looking for young boys to sexually exploit,” said Suffolk County Police Detective Sgt. John Cowie.

    Cowie said MySpace had no involvement in the investigation, nor culpability in the case. “That’s just where he (Burkett) went shopping for victims, so to speak.”

    On Tuesday, a police officer spotted a car in front of a Sound Beach house that matched a description given by the tipster. He went to the door, found Burkett living there and noticed two 12-year-old boys in the house, authorities said.

    “We still didn’t have a crime at that point,” Cowie said.

    On Wednesday, police returned with a search warrant, and seized Burkett’s computer and a digital camera.

    On Thursday, after images of children being sexually exploited allegedly were found, Burkett was arrested.

    Cowie said that five victims have been identified; one of the boys was from the Binghamton area in upstate New York and met Burkett via MySpace.

    He said some of the boys were given bicycles, toys and other gifts to keep quiet.

    Of course, Burkett pleaded not guilty. I would love to hear the defense on this one. He’s being held on $500K bail.

  • Another Naperville creeper gets caught

    Another Naperville creeper gets caught

    MySpace page leads to charges:

    Is there something in the water in Naperville, Illinois? This is the third or fourth predator story that I’ve posted about that has happened in Naperville. Is it the creeper holy land of the Midwest?

    Anyway, 30-year-old Anthony Kershaw, formerly of Naperville, was arrested Friday on child porn charges. Police were tipped off to “suspicious activity” on a MySpace that he created.

    A forensic examination of a computer seized from Kershaw’s former Naperville home revealed 100 images of child pornography, police said.

    That’s not a small number. Maybe they should make a law that says for every piece of child porn you get caught with, you get a year in prison. 100 years for this creep sounds about right, doesn’t it?

  • Joshua Innes

    Joshua Innes

    Man guilty of luring teens over Internet:

    25-year-old Joshua Innes of Montreal pleaded guilty to charges of luring a child under 18 on the Internet, extortion, and distributing child pornography.

    Court heard in an agreed statement of facts that Innes posed as a 16-year-old girl named Nicky from Calgary on the popular social networking site Nexopia.

    Innes began exchanging messages with the Edmonton girl, complimenting her and eventually turned the topic toward sex.

    He sent her a video that showed a teenage girl performing a sex act which the victim believed was Nicky.

    After persistent coaxing, the girl took off her clothes and performed sexual acts in front of her web camera, which Innes recorded in Montreal on his computer.

    About a week later, “Nicky” asked the girl what was the worst thing she’s ever done. She said she once talked about a friend behind her back and asked Nicky the same question. He replied, “I pretended to be a 16-year-old girl on the Internet.”

    Innes then demanded she perform more sex acts for the webcam or he would upload the video on the web and send it to people listed as friends on her Nexopia profile.

    The victim told a friend who alerted her parents, who called police.

    When an Edmonton police officer, Det. Randy Wickens, posed online as the victim, Innes aggressively demanded the girl perform again or he would send out the video.

    Innes was arrested in his home, where he lived with his parents.

    Sentencing will take place in August.

    Former Mountie cops plea One day in jail for trying to lure underage girls using Internet:

    A while ago, I posted about former Canadian Mountie Adam Jonathan Clarke. He was arrested for trying to lure teen girls for sex over Nexopia. Last week, he pleaded guilty to two counts of communicating to lure a child under age 18. What sentence did he receive? A day in jail.

    I guess the Mounties always get their man but the courts set them free.

    Man Arrested For Nude Pics Of Girls On MySpace:

    Another creep arrested for MySpace misdeeds. The subject in question is one Kevin Dale Pierce from the City of Angels. The 33-year-old Pierce was arrested for convincing teenage girls to send him nude pictures of themselves. Several external hard drives were found when police searched his house. How many girls did he contact top have that many hard drives? Pierce claimed to be a 19-year-old art student from UCLA.

    The investigation started in January, when a Temecula resident reported that her 14-year-old daughter was swapping notes with someone who claimed to be a 19-year-old art student at UCLA, DeLuna said.

    The two started an online relationship last November and, after several weeks, established a bond of trust, according to the sergeant. The suspect persuaded the girl to send photos of herself in various stages of undress, purportedly for an art project, DeLuna said.

    The girl’s mother noticed her daughter’s computer screen and read messages from the suspect asking for additional pictures in varied poses, DeLuna said.

    The woman told a deputy that the e-mail she spotted was from someone who called himself “kev pie” and thanked the girl for pictures she had sent him, according to an affidavit for a search warrant.

    The e-mailer then requested that the girl send some more snapshots and wrote, “Is there any way you can also take the exact same angles, straight from behind and from the 45 degree side … but on the floor instead of standing? so I can draw the legs and the body bent in shape,” the affidavit states.

    The mother did not know what the e-mail referred to and asked her daughter about it.

    The girl later told investigators that she informed the person she was corresponding with that she was 14 years old. She told detectives that she and the suspect began chatting on “I Chat” after meeting on MySpace.com, according to the affidavit.

    Investigators tracked down Pierce’s ISP address, accessed his MySpace account and determined he was actually 33 and that he had been communicating with at least 10 other girls, persuading them to send nude photos of themselves, police allege.

    The best part is Pierce’s explanation.

    “He seemed pretty eager to try to clear his name,” DeLuna said, adding that Pierce told them he did not believe he was breaking the law as long as he did not meet the girls in person.

    I would love to have seen the cops’ faces when he told them that.

    I could not find a definitive MySpace for Pierce.
