Not Guilty Plea In “MySpace” Case:
22-year-old Gary Smith of Franklin County, Kentucky, has pleaded not guilty to having sex with a 14-year-old girl that he met on MySpace.
I still don’t understand why guys in their 20s have to go after underage girls. When I was 21, I dated a girl who was 19. As much as I loved her, it was a pain in the ass because we couldn’t go to places that were 21 only.
Not to mention the whole IT’S ILLEGAL aspect of it.
Larksville man charged in sex assault on teen:
28-year-old Jon Erik Frisvold of Larksville, Pa. was arrested this week for allegedly sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in his house on multiple occasions. It’s not known how Frisvold knew the girl, but he used MySpace to stay in contact with her.
The level of his alleged creepiness knows no bounds…
Frisvold told the girl to go to his bedroom and wait for him. He asked her to have sex and said to her: “It will be good for you and it will be good for me,” according to the criminal complaint.
The girl said she removed her shirt and pants but told Frisvold to stop because it hurt. Frisvold continued to attempt to have sex with the girl but stopped.
Frisvold drove the girl home telling her not to tell anyone, the criminal complaint says.
Sometime in October or November 2006, the girl said Frisvold contacted her by telephone and on myspace.com. After a conversation, he picked her up at the West Wyoming store and drove around the Back Mountain before returning to his residence with her.
He asked her to have sex, but the girl said no. He continued to ask her to have sex when she agreed.
After a brief encounter, the girl told him to stop. They got dressed and drove to a cafe in Wyoming.
In January, Frisvold again contacted the girl on the telephone and on myspace.com. He picked her up at the West Wyoming store, drove around in the Back Mountain and took her to his residence where he sexually assaulted her, the criminal complaint says.
A month later, Frisvold contacted the girl again on the telephone and on myspace.com. He told the girl he was bored and picked her up at the store in West Wyoming, and took her back to his residence where he assaulted her, police said in the criminal complaint.
Frisvold was released on $25K bail. I wonder if he’ll pull a Shefelbine.
I really hope that the kid in his profile pic isn’t his.
Former Scripps lab tech gets year in jail for sex with boy, 14:
Over a year ago, I posted the story of Colleen Grear. She was the 22-year-old single mother lab tech who started a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy via MySpace. At first, he said he was 18, but when she found out his real age, she didn’t seem to care.
Yesterday, Grear pleaded guilty to charges of lewd and lascivious battery. Under the terms of the plea, she will spend a year behind bars, 2 years on house arrest, and 10 years as a registered sex offender.
Being placed on sex offender probation carries special conditions regular probationers don’t have, such as being prohibited from living within 1,000-feet of a park, school or playground and barring contact with children under 18. Grear cannot have a job where kids regularly congregate and she cannot own or view pornography. She must submit to an HIV test and undergo a psycho-sexual evaluation and complete any recommended treatment. If she violates her probation, she faces 15 years behind bars.
What do you think of the sentence? Is it fair? Would a man have gotten more or less, do you think?
MySpace relationship leads to arrest of Grover Beach man:
30-year-old Michael David Gray has been arrested on charges of sexual molestation. Gray is accused of meeting a 15-year-old girl on MySpace and having a sexual relationship with her for six months.
During the relationship, police say Gray provided the 15-year-old with methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana and alcohol. On one occasion, he also took nude photos of the victim and showed them to others.
First of all what kind of scumbag not only engages in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl but gives her meth and coke on top of it. Secondly, where were this girl’s parents?
Trial date set in MySpace sex assault case:
You all remember Pete Solis, don’t you? He was the catalyst behind the infamous $30M lawsuit against MySpace. Solis was the one who allegedly sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl who he met over MySpace. Which led the victim’s mother to file one of the most frivolous lawsuits of all time. Anyway, Solis’ trial date for the sexual assault is set to start on January 28th.
MySpace Message Tips Parents Off To Child’s Secret Meeting:
18-year-old Frank Kelley of Millville, New Jersey was arrested after using MySpace to set up a meeting with a 12-year-old girl.
The unnamed victim’s parents told police they found their child with Frank Kelley at Mulligan Field — a local recreation park located in the north end of the Villas section of Lower Township, Cape May County — after finding messages between the two on a computer.
The article doesn’t state what happened at the meeting, but Kelley was charged with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
Virginia State Police Arrest Fugitive:
William Joe Mitchell, who I posted about here, has been arrested by Virginia State Police. 46-year-old Mitchell is accused of luring a 15-year-old Florida girl over MySpace to run away with him.
Mitchell was arrested Saturday morning at a Flying J Truck Stop in Winchester, Virginia.
Prosecutor jailed on child sex charges commits suicide:
You remember John David Roy Atchison, don’t you? In case you don’t, he was the federal prosecutor from Florida who went to Michigan to have sex with what he thought was a 5-year-old. It also turned out that Atchison had a diaper and urination fetish. Also, while he was in custody he tried to kill himself.
If you didn’t notice, I’m talking about him in the past tense. It seems that he was successful this time in ending his own life.
He hanged himself this morning at the federal prison in Milan, where he was taken after trying to commit suicide last month at Sanilac County Jail, authorities said.
Coward.
Thanks to Soobs for the link.
Dallas-Fort Worth area sex offenders using MySpace arrested:
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is bragging that 14 Texas sex offenders were caught violating parole by using MySpace. He says that part rather proudly.
Mr. Abbott called Web sites like MySpace a “lions’ den” for sexual predators who use them “literally looking for the person they can next victimize.”
I bet he said the next part really, really quiet.
Mr. Abbott said, however, that “there was no evidence” that the 14 people arrested last month had used MySpace to locate potential victims. Instead, all 14 were arrested after using the Internet, a violation of their parole.
While I’m happy, that 14 sex offenders are off the streets, Mr. Abbot falls into the same category as his contemporaries from Connecticut, North Carolina, and New York. Instead of demonizing sites like MySpace, how about doing something about the parents that allow their kids unfettered access to the internet. Oh, that’s right, because they’re the ones who vote. You wouldn’t want to piss them off, would you?
Details Surface In Child Porn Case Against Coach
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?
