  • Michael Jacques got away with rape

    Michael Jacques’ Other Victim:

    If you’ve been reading this site for a while you’ll know that one of the stories regularly featured here is the story of Brooke Bennett.

    12-year-old Brooke disappeared and was allegedly raped and killed by her uncle Michael Jacques. Jacques was a sex offender who went through Vermont’s ‘treatment’ for sex offenders and was released early from his sentence.

    Now Channel 3 in Burlington, Vermont have uncovered information that there was a victim of Jacques that he never went to jail for.

    At the time of her rape in 1987, the woman was only 13 years old. Jacques was 20 at the time. According to her, Jacques used to lure girls to his place all the time with booze and drugs.

    However, the records of this mysteriously disappeared and public officials weren’t saying anything about it.

    I highly recommend reading the entire article. It just goes to show how some people are more worried about the feelings of a repeat sex offender than they are the safety of the public at large.

  • SC man arrested after MySpace hook up

    Man Charged with Misconduct after Myspace Meeting:

    25-year-old Kendrick Smith of Greenwood, South Carolina has been arrested for hooking up with a 13-year-old girl he met on MySpace.

    The girl was reported as a runaway and police found her at a local supermarket. She told police she met Smith over MySpace and that Smith took her to his house. It was there she performed oral sex on him. Being the classy guy that he is he then dropped her off at the supermarket.

    They might start calling him the 24-hour supermarket in prison because he’ll be open all the time.

  • Homeland Security predator ordered to undergo psych eval

    Accused Riverside MySpace predator to face psychological exam:

    I originally posted about Celestino Torres Paguyo here. He’s the 32-year-old guy who met a 16-year-old girl over MySpace, picked her up at school, and pressured her to ‘perform a sex act on him’. He’s also the guy who was busted by Homeland Security.

    Now he’s been ordered by a judge to undergo a psych exam to see if he’s likely to re-offend.

    Considering he told the girl he was 20 and in college, I’m guessing he’s already re-offended and no one knows about it.

    And check out these lame ass charges…

    Paguyo was charged with sending “harmful matter” through the Internet, a felony, and annoying or molesting a child under 18 years old, a misdemeanor.

    Um…shouldn’t they both be felonies?

    His next hearing is scheduled for December 1st.

  • Indictments handed down in Brooke Bennett’s disappearance

    Jacques indicted: Brooke Bennett assaulted, strangled, smothered

    Michael Jacques was indicted yesterday in the disappearance of his niece 12-year-old Brooke Bennett. Jacques is facing federal charges so that makes him oh so eligible for the death penalty.

    A grand jury says convicted rapist Michael Jacques, 42, of Randolph drugged, sexually assaulted, strangled and smothered Brooke and placed a plastic bag over her head. The six-count indictment calls the killing premeditated, intentional and “especially heinous, cruel, or depraved.”

    This article states that Jacques has also been charged with her murder.

    To read the PDF of the indictment you can go here.

    Speaking of indictments, Jacque’s cohort, Ray Gagnon who is also Brooke Bennett’s ex-stepfather, has also been indicted. He was indicted in the state of Texas, where he lives on child porn charges. The U.S. District Attorney has dropped the obstruction charges against Gagnon so he could be easily extradited to Texas.

    Have fun in Texas prison, Ray.

  • Lori Drew told her hairdresser

    She Even Told Her Hairdresser:

    Lori Drew was so pleased with her little scheme against 13-year-old Megan Meier that she bragged about it to not only her hairdresser but to other acquaintances as well. Until Megan killed herself over it then Drew tried to cover up any connection to the scheme.

    Court papers which The Smoking Gun has posted show how callous Drew was during the whole fake ‘Josh Evans’ MySpace which led to Megan’s suicide.

  • Brian Draper’s MySpace revisited

    Maintenance of Convicted Killer Brian Draper’s Myspace Page in Question:

    Not too long ago I posted about the MySpace of convicted killer, lifer, and mutant Brian Draper. Draper is one of the teen killers convicted in the 2006 slashing death of someone whom they called their friend, Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    I theorized that his MySpace was obviously written by either a member of his family or an advocate who believes that teens should never be charged as adults. I came to that hypothesis after I noticed the proper grammar which I doubt Draper has and the fact that prison inmates usually don’t have access to the internet. It seems that one of my readers tipped off the local media to Draper’s MySpace.

    We’ve previously reported on a website that supports Torey Adamcik’s innocence called Voices for Torey. Thanks to a viewer, we tracked down a commentary page that negatively outlines the possibility of Brian Draper updating his myspace page from prison.

    Earlier this month, “A Murderer’s Disguise” was posted on the website called The Trenchcoat Chronicles. On it, Trench Reynolds debunks the idea that Draper can access the internet saying, among other things, that the two teenagers have become poster boys for people who believe teens should not be charged as adults. Reynolds simply states that someone else must be maintaining the personal page.

    KPVI then followed up on my assumptions and called the Idaho Department of Corrections. They have confirmed that inmates do not have access to the internet. So is it being maintained by family or an advocate? Is Draper actually in the programs that he claims and is it just for show?

    None of this could have been possible if it wasn’t for the watchful eye of Mr. A who brought my attention to Draper’s MySpace in the first place.

  • Close to divorced man busted for child porn, solicitation

    Man Charged With Soliciting Teen For Sex:

    40-year-old Charles R. Mowder of Midlothian, Illinois was arrested for trying to solicit sex from a 16-year-old girl. Illinois’ age of consent is 17.

    A woman, who I assume was the girl’s guardian, found the e-mails that Mowder was sending to the girl and notified police. Police, in turn, searched Mowder’s computer which turned up child porn.

    According to one of Mowder’s MySpaces…

    About me:

    i am a gentleman in chicago very close to divorce, into bdsm, travel, and seeking someone to join me for fun, and maybe more.

    Who I’d like to meet:

    someone interesting, bi, and that is looking for fun, and maybe more. one that is a sub, and seeking a bdsm lifestyle

    I bet that divorce is closer than it was before.

    You know it’s that he’s bi or into BDSM that would have tipped me off to him being a creeper. It’s his lack of capital letters that would have been a tip-off to me. If he misspelled all his words he probably could have passed as a teenager.

    Thanks to Mr. A for the tip.

  • Poor Lori Drew

    Woman in MySpace Suicide Case Moving Away From Neighborhood:

    Poor Lori Drew. When she’s not busy kicking puppies, tearing the wings off of butterflies and making 13-year-old girls commit suicide she has to find a new home. The Drews have decided to leave their Dardenne Prairie, Mo. home for parts unknown. Isn’t that where all the masked wrestlers are from? Then she might fit in real nice there. She could use a nice mask.

    Seriously though they are moving within the week and they claim they don’t know where they are going. At least they have the luxury to move. Megan Meier doesn’t.

  • Statutory rapist arrested for looking at victim’s MySpace

    Spencerport rapist accused of looking at victim’s MySpace page:

    50-year-old Jeffrey L. Tewksbury was previously arrested for having sex with a 16-year-old girl and was given 10-years probation. The parents of the girl had agreed to that sentence to spare the victim from having to testify.

    Now Tewksbury is in hot water for accessing the girl’s MySpace. Part of his probation was to not have any contact with the victim.

    Tewksbury could be sent to jail for four years.

  • A murderer’s disguise

    Mr. A shot me an e-mail the other day saying that he found the MySpace of Brian Draper. For those of you who don’t know Brian Draper and his cohort Torey Adamcik were two teens sentenced to life in prison for the brutal murder of 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Draper is not only a vicious killer but he’s also an admitted mutant, the term I use for ‘fans’ of Columbine.

    I figured that the MySpace was probably a leftover before he went into prison and probably contained the incoherent ramblings of a teenage monster. Imagine my surprise when this is what I stumble on.

    Many things have happened since the last time I updated this page: I have moved to the prison in Boise, Idaho, and I am in a transition stage that may last a couple of weeks. Following the transition I will be moved to a new location in Boise.

    I want you all to know that I am hanging in there. Things get rough from time to time, and I don’t go a week without breaking down at least once. But overall my life is ok. I keep busy by going to religious services, attending educational classes (creative writing, computers), writing, reading and playing a lot of chess. I am also able to play the piano down at the chapel. I play piano for church services, and for an hour a week I can play the piano in solitude. I wrote a song dedicated to everything that has happened, called Sorrows and Sunrises.

    Obviously, this wasn’t written by Draper for a number of reasons. The first being I don’t think Draper could form a coherent sentenced if you spotted him the noun and the verb. Secondly, most prisons don’t allow their inmates to have access to the internet. Lastly, Draper and Adamcik have kind of become the poster boys for the people who believe that teens shouldn’t be charged as adults. For example…

    Currently I am in the appeals process, so that maybe someday I can be released and start redeeming myself on the outside, like I am doing now, on the inside. I am in the STOP program here, which is a program that brings kids into the facility, and inmates speak with them about being a good person and staying out of trouble. I am one of those inmates that speak to the kids.

    If my appeal for reduction of sentencing is thrown out, then I will be content with the life I have. We must think about what we do have, not about what we don’t have. We must set goals and strive to meet them. If I spend the rest of my life locked in a prison, I will rise above that. If God wants me to stay here, then this is where I will stay.

    I will leave you with two good sayings: “I wept because I had no shoes till I saw a man who had no feet.” “Two men looked out through prison bars; one saw mud, the other stars.”

    Thanks again for all your support, I hope and pray you are all doing well.

    I love you all, and thank you for believing in me. Never forget Cassie Jo Stoddart.

    Your friend,

    Brian

    Who I’d like to meet:

    Hemingway, Albert Einstein, Richard Wilbur, and James P. Gills

    First off he gave up any right of talking about Cassie Jo Stoddart, especially after he said this on videotape after her murder.

    “Just killed Cassie, we just left her house, this is not a f***ing joke,” says Brian Draper on the homemade videotape. “I’m shaking,” replies Adamcik.”I stabbed her in the throat and I saw her lifeless body just disappear,” says Draper.

    I highly doubt someone who did this is capable of all these ‘feel good’ statements and if he is going through all these programs I’m sure it’s all for show. I also noticed the lack of negative comments on his MySpace. Brutal killers usually get slammed with ‘see you in hell’ kind of comments which leads me to believe that not only was this crap written by someone else but it’s also being severely moderated.

    Lastly, I doubt the people he wants to meet or Hemingway and Einstein. It’s probably more like Manson, Dahmer, Harris, and Klebold.

    Someone who slashes a girls throat just for the thrills and brags about it on tape isn’t going to change his stripes this quickly let alone ever.
