  • An Ohio case of 15 will get you 20

    Man Allegedly Has Sex With Teen Through MySpace:

    21-year-old Joseph Wade, of Cincinnati, apparently can’t find women his own age. He was arrested for having consensual sex with a 15-year-old girl that he met on MySpace. Age of consent in Ohio is 16. He was also charged with interference with custody because not only did he help her run away but kept changing her location so her family couldn’t find her.

    Wade is obviously a desperate loser but I’m sure we’ll hear from someone who he’s some kind of hero who rescued the girl from her family. You know you can rescue someone without having sex with them.

  • Mutant king gets probation

    Newark man who threatened Columbine detective given probation:

    So if some guy in his late 20’s from Ohio e-mailed threats to a police officer, claimed he knew a mass murderer, then claimed the mass murder was his idea what kind of sentence do you think he would get? You’d think he at least get a few years for violently threatening a cop right? Wrong!!!!

    Patrick Gauchel threatened one of the Jefferson County Sheriffs who investigated Columbine and all he got was five years probation, a $750 fine, and has been banned from the internet for 5 years.

    Add Judge Thomas Marcelain to the list of judges that must be on crack. At the very least this nutbag, Gauchel should have been sent to the squirrel factory for an extended stay.

  • Andre Johnson sentenced

    Andre Johnson sentenced

    Man guilty of sex with teen met on MySpace loses bid for lenience in Lake County court:

    Back in July, I posted about Andre Johnson. He’s a 30-year-old man from Ohio that was on parole for the rape of a 14-year-old girl when he raped another 14-year-old girl. Johnson had met his most recent victim through the girl’s sister but maintained a relationship with her on MySpace.

    Now he’s been sentenced. He has to serve out the remainder of his original sentence, and a judge tacked 8 years on to that for his most recent crime.

    During Thursday’s hearing, Johnson asked the judge to give him a break. Judge Lucci told Johnson he had already been given that chance when he was paroled on the first crime.

    I love how multiple offenders think they deserve a break.

    Anyway, Johnson will also be a lifelong registered sex offender.

  • Media fueling MySpace hysteria

    Media fueling MySpace hysteria

    Sexual predator gets close to his target on MySpace:

    The headline is kind of misleading, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

    30-year-old Andre Johnson of Eastlake, Ohio was already on probation for improper sexual conduct with a 14-year-old. Apparently, that wasn’t enough of a deterrent. He’s now accused of breaking into the bedroom of another 14-year-old girl and raping her.

    He denies that the sex was rape, but admits he was so drunk and high that he barely remembers the evening.

    Like that makes it better.

    And here’s where MySpace comes into play.

    The two originally met through the teen’s older sister, but detectives say the relationship was further established by chatting back and forth on MySpace.

    So while Mr. Johnson is a grade A scumbag and deserves everything he gets, MySpace was barely involved in this incident and was not the conduit for this predator to meet his victim.

    Sensationalistic journalism at its worst.

    Broadview Heights men accused of raping girls met on MySpace:

    CLEVELAND — Two Broadview Heights men are accused of raping young girls they met on the web site MySpace.

    Channel 3 News first told you about 21-year-old Albert Azolino back in March.

    He is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old Strongsville student lured to his home through internet chat.

    Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason says Azolino and 33-year-old friend Timothy Norman face rape, unlawful sexual contact with minors, and pandering charges.

    The prosecutor warns parents to be leery of the kids spending time on this web site.

    “It’s like a catalogue for predators,” Mason said. “It’s got the pictures of the kids so anybody who wants to get online — they go on to myspace.com, look at the pictures and click on it. Up comes the profile of the person they just click on.”

    Mason says the suspects would offer alcohol to the kids then photograph them during sex acts.

    If convicted the two could face life in prison.

    I was unable to find the MySpaces of either suspect. If you know of them, please let me know.
