  • Mercades’ request to go public denied

    Judge: Teen beating suspect can’t talk about case:

    Yesterday I posted about how alleged beating ringleader Mercades Nichols requested from a judge to be able to travel to tell the world her story and apologize. That request has been…DENIED!!!

    Her house arrest has been partially lifted allowing her to go to school, work, church, etc.

    Mercades’ mom chimes in…

    After the hearing, Nichols mother said that her daughter wanted to be able to issue an apology, and that’s why she made the request to change her restrictions. She also expressed that she disagrees with the judge’s decision.

    “She wanted to get her side out there, and I just think that it’s unfair that everyone else is having to talk about my daughter,” said Christina Garcia, Nichols’ mother.

    Oh, I think that we’ve already seen your daughter’s side. And if you didn’t want people to talk about her then she shouldn’t have beaten Victoria Lindsay and had one of her dumbass friends record it. See how that works?

  • Victoria Lindsay video transcript

    If you can’t get enough of the Victoria Lindsay story reader Allen Singer has transcribed the entire second video.

    It’s even more appalling to actually read the words.

    Thanks, Allen.

  • Mercades Nichols wants to go public

    Beating Suspect Wants to Go Public:

    The alleged ringleader in the recorded beating of Victoria Lindsay wants permission from the court to go public with her story.

    Mercades Nichols, one of eight teens charged as adults in the March beating of 16-year-old Victoria Lindsay, wants permission to talk publicly about the case and travel out of state to give interviews, according to a written request filed in Circuit Court.

    Nothing good can come from this.

    Allegedly Nichols wants to give “public apologies” to the media.

    I wonder how much she’d be paid for those “apologies”.

  • FL man accused of sex with 12-year-old

    Apopka Man Accused Of Having Sex With MySpace Girl, 12:

    28-year-old Luis Quinones of Orange County, Florida was arrested this week for having sex with a 12-year-old girl that he met over MySpace.

    Again it’s time to remind parents that the minimum age for MySpace is 14.

    Anyway, Quinones admitted to having consensual sex with the 12-year-old and is using the ‘she said she was 19’ defense. There is a huge difference between a 19-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. If you can’t tell the two apart maybe you shouldn’t be trying to breed in the first place.

    The girl admits telling Quinones that she was 19 and that they had sex over 20 times and even skipped school to have sex with him.

    I would lay odds that at least somewhere along the way he found out she was 12 and didn’t care. And again the ‘she said she was…’ excuse hasn’t worked in the history of the age of consent.

    Let’s not forget to ask where was this girl’s parent(s)? But still, the ultimate responsibility lies with Quinones.

  • Arraignment for Lori Drew scheduled

    Arraignment scheduled in LA in MySpace suicide case:

    Lori Drew is scheduled to be arraigned in a Los Angeles federal court on June 16th.

    Drew was indicted on conspiracy and basically hacking charges as it relates to the harassment induced suicide of 16-year-old Megan Meier

  • L.A. area predator indicted

    Sex Predator Uses MySpace to Lure Teens:

    33-year-old Gregory Scott Serrano of Monrovia, California has been indicted for using MySpace to prey on underage girls. He’s accused of having sex or taking explicit photos of at least 10 victims. Authorities believe that there may be even more victims.

    He’s been charged with…

    …production of child pornography, using the Internet to entice minors to produce child pornography and to meet for sex, receipt of child pornography, possession of child pornography and attempted destruction of evidence.

    Serrano was investigated when a 15-year-old victim came forward. It’s alleged that Serrano posed as a 19-year-old on MySpace to lure his victims.

    And the cherry on this scumbag sundae?

    After his March 12 arrest, Serrano allegedly contacted a family member and asked the relative to retrieve and hide a compact disc stashed inside a rollerblade in Serrano’s basement.

    The FBI recovered the disc, who allegedly contained logs of e-mail conversations between Serrano and his victims, as well as child pornography depicting them

    I’m sure I’ll still get comments telling me what a great guy he is and how he was framed.

    Serrano could get life behind bars.

  • Teen given probation for rape

    Teen sentenced to probation in 2006 MySpace rape:

    I’ve posted about the arrest of Angel Alverio, Tony Pacheco, and an unnamed teen before. They were arrested in 2006 for the rape of a then 14-year-old girl that they met over MySpace.

    Back in April, I posted that the teen pleaded guilty to the charges. He’s been sentenced to 5 years probation.

    The cases of Alverio and Pacheco are still pending.

  • NJ sex offenders arrested

    Sex offenders nabbed on MySpace and Facebook:

    The state of New Jersey has arrested 3 sex offenders that were found to be on MySpace and Facebook.

    The perpetrators were Stanton Ulmer, 32, of Neptune Township, Felice Black, 24, of Paterson, and Pietro Parisi, 34, of Westville.

    While the New Jersey AG, Anne Milgram, is busy patting herself on the back I think this shows that recent legislation is not keeping sexual predators off social networks.

  • Stephen Schumaker arrested again

    Polk County teen beating suspect arrested on driving charge:

    Alleged lookout of the Victoria Lindsay beating, Stephen Schumaker, has been arrested again. This time it was for driving on a suspended license. He was pulled over after caught running a stop sign, speeding, and not wearing a seat belt.

    You would think that if someone was awaiting trial that they wouldn’t do something stupid as this yet here we are.

  • Virginia Beach MySpace predator arrested

    Va. Beach woman charged with soliciting teen on MySpace:
