    MySpace pimp facing federal charges

    Feds hit MySpace pimp suspect with child sex trafficking charge:

    I’ve posted about Malvin Parker Jr. before. He’s the guy from California who was arrested for allegedly pimping out an underage girl he groomed on MySpace. Well, he just found himself in a whole new world of trouble. He’s now looking at 10 to life on federal charges of sex-trafficking children.

    The federal government has an interest in the case because Parker allegedly enticed the victim, a 16-year-old runaway from Washington state, across state lines through MySpace, a social networking site. Federal law prohibits using “force, fraud or coercion” to get a minor across state or national boundaries to engage in a “commercial sex act.”

    As the kids say these days…Oh snap!!!

  • Florida girl safe after running off with SO.

    Florida girl safe after running off with SO.

    Missing teen home after fleeing with sex offender she met on MySpace:

    A 15-year-old Florida girl who was reported missing and given an Amber Alert this week is now safe at home. The girl ran off with 46-year-old William Joe Mitchell, whom she met on MySpace. The girl had thought that Mitchell was a lot younger than he was.

    It turned out Mitchell is 46 and has been arrested 14 times on many charges, many of them violent, ranging from robbery to lewd and lascivious behavior, Judd said.

    “This is what pedophiles and predators do best,” Judd said during a televised press conference. They use their charisma and charm to groom and lure children, he said.

    “We are thankful he didn’t kill her,” Judd said of the man he refers to as “Billy Mitch.” “We are grateful to he took her to a populated area,” he said referring to the Wal-Mart.

    Mitchell is still on the loose. I could not find a definitive MySpace for Mitchell.

    Parents, do you need another one of these stories to get you to check up on your kids’ online habits?

  • She really is caged now

    She really is caged now

    Husband alerted authorities to wife’s online chats

    Meet 30-year-old Kendra Sasser. On her MySpace profile, she calls herself CagedCassandra and claims to be from Caged Animal, Ohio. That couldn’t be any truer. For you see, Mrs. Sasser is under arrest for using MySpace to have inappropriate conversations with a 16-year-old boy from Arizona.

    The two were chatting online Aug. 27 when she sent the boy a picture of her face. He asked for more pictures.

    “This last pic is 4 ur personal enjoyment *grinzz* you gotta make sure this last pic no one sees okay?” she wrote. “You might wanna hide this one. You can’t let parents see it or ur screwed srsly!”

    Sasser downloaded a picture of her genitals from her cell phone and e-mailed it to him. They then continued in sexually explicit conversation.

    She also sent the boy money so he could buy a webcam for his X-box, so the two could give a “free show to each other.”

    How did she get busted? It wasn’t parents or police that caught her. It was her own husband. You see, in July, her husband Ron Sasser had installed a keylogging program on their computer. So when he realized what she was doing, he turned everything over to the local sheriff’s office, who in turn called in the FBI.

    She’s looking at 15 to 30 years behind bars.

  • Prosecutor Scumbag Peepants tries to off himself

    Prosecutor Scumbag Peepants tries to off himself

    Prosecutor in sex sting arrest attempts suicide:

    It seems that our favorite diaper wearing scumbag prosecutor John David “Roy” Atchison tried to off himself today. Let me get out the violin…

    John David “Roy” Atchison, the Florida federal prosecutor indicted for allegedly flying from Pensacola, Fla., to Detroit to have sex with a 5-year-old girl, tried to hang himself early this morning at the Sanilac County Jail, officials confirmed.

    The 4 a.m. suicide attempt came only one day after Atchison asked a federal judge to take him off a suicide watch and assured her he would not try to harm himself.

    Atchison tied a sheet around his neck, but the suicide attempt was discovered by sheriff’s deputies before he had a chance to harm himself, Sheriff Virgil Strickler said today.

    “One of the other inmates hollered that he was doing it,” and jail deputies responded quickly, Strickler said.

    The inmate in the adjacent cell raised the alarm.

    When I first caught this story on Topix, I left a comment that said I wish he had finished the job, but I now take that back. I want there to be a long and lengthy trial followed by the longest prison stay possible. I want him to live his hell every day for the rest of his life.

    As an added bonus, someone did a Yahoo search for Atchison’s MySpace handle “fldaddy04”. Besides my site, it also brought up a message board called….ugh, I’m so disgusted…The PeeSearch Community. I was unable to access the user profile, and I was not about to go through the requirements to view it. But there at least was a user on that board with the username fldaddy04. Draw your own conclusions.

    Prosecutor Scumbag

    Feds: Prosecutor sought ‘younger girls’ on MySpace:

    I’m sure by now, most of you have heard the story about Florida Federal Prosecutor John David Roy Atchison. Never trust a man with four names, by the way. He was arrested for trying to arrange to have sex with a 5-year-old girl from Michigan. That 5-year-old girl turned out to be an undercover investigator.

    Our cousins at Detroit Free Press quote police who say John David Roy Atchison, 53, arrived at the airport in Detroit “with a Dora the Explorer doll, hoop earrings and petroleum jelly for a 5-year-old he planned to have sex with” following a series of online conversations with an undercover investigator.

    “Atchison reassured the sheriff’s deputy who was posing as the child’s mother that he would not hurt the 5-year-old because he goes ‘slow and easy,’ and ‘I’ve done it plenty,’” The Detroit News reports.

    Atchison is married with children, according to the Free Press, which says he runs a youth sports group in Gulf Breeze, Fla.

    So God only knows how many victims this scumbag has.

    Anyway, it turns out that Prosecutor Scumbag had a MySpace…

    A MySpace.com page that a criminal complaint identified as belonging to John David Roy Atchison, an indicted federal prosecutor from Gulf Breeze, Fla., said he enjoyed spoiling young girls.

    Under the user name fldaddy04, name John and caption “Experienced, understanding Daddy,” Atchison allegedly described himself in his profile as:

    “Handsome, educated, professional, experienced Daddy. I love younger girls. Like everything about you…how you think, talk, act. I’m very understanding and supportive..,never ever judgmental.”

    The profile goes on to say that he would like to “pamper, spoil, change and take care of” girls.

    His general interests are listed as “surfing, diving, boating…everything to do with the water…music and cute girls.”

    Just copying and pasting that made me ill.

    A prosecutor and a creeper. They’re going to love him in prison.

  • Conn. Creeper Sentenced

    Conn. Creeper Sentenced

    Man sentenced for arranging sex with girl he met on MySpace:

    I originally posted about Jason Palmeira here. He was charged with using the Internet to persuade a minor to engage in sexual activity and traveling in interstate commerce for the purpose of attempting to have, and having, illicit sexual conduct with a minor. That’s a mouthful. In English…

    Palmeira traveled on July 13 from Massachusetts to Connecticut to meet the girl, picking her up in a green sports car. He drove the girl to Massachusetts, bringing her to a location he described as his girlfriend’s house, the affidavit says.

    Once at the house, Palmeira is accused of having sexual contact with the girl, putting his finger in her vagina and driving her back to Connecticut, dropping her off at the Simsbury Public Library the following morning, according to the affidavit.

    Of course, this was all arranged over MySpace.

    For his troubles, Palmeira was sentenced to three years behind bars.

  • Patrick Buss sentenced

    Patrick Buss sentenced

    Willamette Valley man pleads guilty in MySpace sex case:

    One of the earliest cases I posted about MySpace crimes was that of Patrick Buss. He’s the man from Oregon who tried to lure underage girls to a motel over MySpace. However, the girls were having none of that and reported him to police.

    Yesterday, Buss pleaded guilty to attempted sex abuse and was sentenced to 7 years behind bars. If that sounds light, don’t worry. He’s already serving a 20-year sentence for a previous offense.

  • Katherine Lester off again

    Katherine Lester off again

    Teen heads back to Middle East:

    You all remember Katherine Lester, don’t you? She was the 16-year-old girl from Michigan who ran away to be with her boyfriend that she met on MySpace. And by running away I mean flying to Israel because her boyfriend lives in West Bank. She was stopped in Jordan before she could reach Israel and was returned home to Michigan.

    Now she’s 18. But don’t think you have a chance, guys. She only has eyes for the Middle East and she’s heading back.

    The article I linked to says she’s spending less than a week there and then returning home. However, this article says that it’s a one-way ticket. If that’s true I honestly fear for her safety.

  • Alleged pimp pleads not guilty

    Alleged pimp pleads not guilty

    MySpace pimp suspect pleads not guilty:

    I originally posted about Melvin Parker Jr. here. He’s the 32-year-old California “man” who is accused of luring a 16-year-old girl over MySpace into prostituting for him. He has pleaded not guilty to pimping the girl out.

    The case began last month when San Rafael police saw the girl trolling for sexual customers in the Canal Area. The girl, a runaway from Washington state, told police she arrived in the Bay Area on Aug. 3 to see a man she had met on MySpace.com, the social networking site. After she arrived, the man threatened to harm her family if she did not work for him as a prostitute.

    Working with police, the girl arranged to meet the man at Burger King in the Canal area. Police arrested Parker when he showed up.

    Yet, he pleaded not guilty. Criminals never fail to crack me up.

    Parker is due back in court on October 9th.

  • Kevin Newland convicted

    Spokane man convicted in young woman’s slaying:

    It’s been a long time since we’ve discussed the disappearance and murder of 19-year-old Jamie Lynn Drake.

    To refresh your memory, Jamie Lynn Drake disappeared in June 2006. Her car was found being driven by one Kevin Newland. Newland eventually led police to Drake’s body and was charged with her murder.

    Cut to Friday, where Newland was convicted in Jamie Lynn Drake’s death. He’s looking at life without parole when sentenced. I wish he could be sentenced to death. Washington still has hangings.
