    Scripps worker charged with seducing 14-year-old via the Internet:

    JUPITER A 22-year-old woman was arrested at her Scripps job on Tuesday and charged with sexual assault of a 14-year-old boy she’d met on the Internet at MySpace.com, deputies said.

    Colleen N. Grear, of Singer Island, was charged with one count of using a computer to seduce or solicit a child and three counts of sexual assault of a child under age 18, the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office said.

    Detectives said Grear contacted the 14-year-old through MySpace.com early in the summer. She met with the child three times, PBSO said.

    PBSO also said Grear confessed to having oral sex and intercourse with the boy, who is from northern Palm Beach County.

    Recently, the boy’s mother discovered what was going on and contacted PBSO.

    Grear is a divorced mother of a 2-year-old child. In addition to working at the Scripps lab, she is a student at Florida Atlantic University and is a cheerleading coach at a local high school, PBSO said.

    It was not immediately known what Grear does at Scripps at its Jupiter operation.

    But since she’s a woman she’ll probably get no time.

    I have no access to MySpace right now so if anyone wants to post the link to her’s in the comment section they may.

    Firefighter Accused Of Sex With Teen He Met Online:

    CLERMONT, Fla. — An Orange County firefighter was hauled off to jail Monday after he was accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl he met on the Internet. Clermont police arrested 24-year-old Reginald Welch and a friend after they found them in a car with the teenager.

    Sunday night, Hancock Park wasn’t very crowded. Police said they found one car with two men and a young girl in it. When they went to investigate, they found unwrapped condoms in the car.

    Welch said he didn’t know the girl was 13 and didn’t have sex with the girl, but police said it happened twice with the young teen he met on the Internet, and believe it may have been through MySpace.com.

    On Welch’s MySpace page, Eyewitness News also found a number of girls listed as Welch’s friends whose profiles say they are under age, some as young as 14. Still, Welch denies having sex with the girl.

    Police said Welch picked the girl up from her home at 3:30 Monday morning. They said she snuck out when Welch knocked on her bedroom window.

    “Nothing happened. They pulled up and we were just sitting there and they handcuffed me,” Welch told Eyewitness News.

    And the best part…

    Welch was suspended with pay by the Orange County Fire Department.

    I realize it’s Florida, but what do you have to do to get suspended without pay?

    Anyway, here is Welch’s MySpace.

  • Burned his girlfriend alive

    Police: Teen Burned Alive Over Pregnancy:

    A 20-year-old man in Ocoee, Fla., was charged with murder after he confessed to pouring gasoline over his ex-girlfriend and then setting her on fire because she may have been pregnant, police told Local 6 News.

    Winter Garden police officers investigating a report of a car fire noticed a small fire on the east side of County Road 545 on Feb. 25.

    When officers extinguished the flames, they found the body of Amelia Sookdeo, 17, burned beyond recognition.

    An investigation into the homicide led to Sookdeo’s ex-boyfriend, Dane Abdool, 20, who at first denied any involvement in the crime, according to the report.

    However, when police confronted him with inconsistencies in his story and presented a set of tire marks from his car photographed at the scene, Abdool confessed to the crime, Local 6 News reported.

    “He admitted that he had met his former girlfriend that night, she sneaked out and he picked her up and went to his apartment in Ocoee,” Winter Garden Police Chief George Brennan said. “From there they left and had an argument and he took her down County Road 545, forced her out of the car. He poured gasoline on her and ignited it.”

    Abdool told police that he was arguing with Sookdeo over her possible pregnancy and he was just trying to scare her, Local 6 News reported.

    Here’s the twist…

    “The medical examiner found no evidence that she was having a baby,” Local 6 reporter Mike DeForest said.

    Way to go, you scumbag. You killed your own girlfriend in one of the most brutal ways possible over something that is supposed to be so beautiful, like bringing a new life into the world, and she wasn’t even pregnant.

    I hope the fires of hell burn a million times hotter for you once you get there.

    My prayers and condolences go out to the Sookdeo family.
