  • More on accused craigslist rapist

    Tigard man in court accused of Craigslist rapes:

    In one of the posts, I made about accused craigslist rapist Ronald M. Leistiko a commenter asked what kind of ad was Leistiko posting to lure these women to his house.

    According to the article, he wasn’t posting ads but responding to ads…

    Leistiko allegedly answered ads on Craigslist along with other Internet sites, which offered services such as lingerie modeling and escort service.

    That makes this case even more disturbing since one of his victims was 14.

  • Police need help with attacker

    Police search for more victims of alleged Craigslist attacker:

    Oregon police are looking to the public’s help in the case against 52-year-old Ronald M. Leistiko. He’s the Tigard, Oregon man accused of luring girls and women to his house via craigslist and raping them.

    Investigators say Leistiko targeted escorts and strippers he met on Craigslist. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 35, police said.

    He’s charged with assaulting three women, but an undercover officer believes there are likely dozens more who are afraid to call police.

    Police say they won’t charge admitted prostitutes if they come forward to report they were raped.

    Anyone who may have information or possible involvement is urged to contact either Portland Police Bureau Detective C. Waddell at (503) 823-0697 or Officer M. Burkeen at (503) 823-0424.

    In addition, callers can also contact Tigard Police Detective Kevin Dresser at (503) 718-2576.

    Police: Man Used Craigslist To Lure Girls:

    52-year-old Ronald Leistiko of Tigard, Oregon is under arrest for a slew of charges all stemming from accounts that say he used craigslist to lure girls and women, some as young as 14, to his home in some cases assaulting them.

    Leistiko was booked into the Washington County Jail on a laundry list of charges. He could be charged with rape, kidnap, prostitution, sex abuse, menacing, attempted rape, strangulation and unlawful sexual penetration.

    Investigators believe there may be other unreported incidents that have happened at Leistiko’s home.

    Anyone with information is asked to call 503-823-0697, 503-823-0424 or 503-718-2576.

    Be vigilant ladies. I would not recommend using craigslist for dates. This is not the first story I’ve posted about someone using craigslist to lure someone to their home.

  • Runaway teens pimped out on craigslist

    Police: Runaway NW teens forced into selling sex on Craigslist:

    Here are some more of those victims that prostitution supposedly doesn’t have…

    The case of a runaway Beaverton girl led to a string of arrests in an Internet prostitution investigation over the past three months.

    The case netted several arrests and runaway teens from the Northwest between May and the end of August, according to Beaverton Police.

    Detectives following the report in May of a runaway 15-year-old from Beaverton were led to Los Angeles, where they found the missing girl with 25-year-old Deandre Travon Green of Aloha. Investigators said Green had forced the girl into prostitution through the L.A. Craigslist Web site.

    Information developed in the case led officers to the Extended Stay Hotel on Eider Ct. in August. There they found a 21-year-old woman and a 16-year-old reported runaway from Seattle, both were charged with prostitution, police said.

    A week later, detectives found two girls reported as runaways from Portland and Gresham. The 15- and 17- year-old girls were arrested along with 22-year-old Quentin G. Lewis, who was charged with possession of crack and outstanding warrants.

    But I’m sure the 15-17-year-olds wanted to be prostitutes right?

    Give me a break.

  • 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.

  • Kyle Green

    Police seek possible victims of man who met girls on MySpace:

    Clackamas County authorities are seeking the public’s help in identifying possible victims of a rape suspect who allegedly befriended teenage girls on MySpace.com.

    Kyle James Green, 20, who lived alone in an apartment complex next to Wilsonville High School, is charged with multiple counts of rape, sodomy, sexual abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor for alleged assaults on two girls between 15 and 17 years old, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office reported.

    Green is accused of befriending underage girls at public libraries and by meeting them through friends and on the MySpace Web site. Investigators reported Sunday that other young girls have provided them information about Green and that more charges are expected to be filed against him.

    Detectives encouraged potential victims to come forward. They said Green was unemployed at the time of his arrest, lived in the Boulder Creek Apartments, once lived in Oregon City and drove an older model red Jeep Cherokee.

    Anyone with information about Green is asked to contact sheriff’s Detective Christie Fryett at 503-557-2876 and reference case number 07-20778.

    I found a MySpace that may have once belonged to Kyle Green. All it has now is his mugshot and a link to his Clackamas County inmate information. Possibly a girlfriend who was unaware of his alleged dalliances?

  • Patrick Lee Kenney

    Patrick Lee Kenney

    Man arrested after MySpace exchanges with girl:

    25-year-old Patrick Lee Kenney of Portland, Oregon was arrested for trying to meet a 12-year-old from Klamath Falls for sex. The girl’s mother found explicit messages and photos from Kenney.

    She then called the police, who posed as the girl and continued to talk to Kenney. Turns out Kenney has family in Klamath Falls and asked to meet the girl. You know what happens next.

    Police were waiting for him and arrested him. He tried the “she said she was 15” defense. Oregon age of consent is 18.

    I found a couple of MySpaces that fit the bill, one is set to private and one is by an obvious horndog. However, without a pic or mugshot, I can’t narrow them down. Hell, they both might be his but without a pic to compare with I can’t post either.

    Thanks to Pilar for the link.

    UPDATE: One of the commenters below says that this is Kenney’s MySpace.

    Boomalicious II: Electric Boogaloo

    Police: Suspect posed as teen:

    I originally posted about Joseph Polk aka “Boomalicious” here. He is the 36-year-old from Klamath Falls, Oregon who posed as a 15-year-old on MySpace in order to have sex with a 14-year-old girl.

    In addition to his Boomalicious profile, he also had one under the username I-A-G. I was unable to find either. But to make matters worse, Polk was a religion teacher at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Like the Catholic Church doesn’t have enough problems with that.

    He was asked to resign that volunteer position by the church. The church has talked to the children under Polk’s tutelage, and so far, no abuse has been discovered.

    Thanks to Pilar for the link.

  • Men caught in 14-year-old’s bed

    Men caught in 14-year-old’s bed

    Men Arrested In MySpace Sex Case:

    These two attractive gentlemen are Jover Mabaet and Dennis Keomoungkhoune of Portland, Oregon. Both are 21 and have been arrested for engaging in sexual activities with a 14-year-old girl they met on MySpace. The victim’s father caught them both in bed with his daughter. To make matters worse, Mabaet was already under investigation for possibly having a relationship with another underage girl and Keomoungkhoune is already a registered sex offender.

    Now, I couldn’t find a MySpace for Keomoungkhoune, but I did find one for Mabaet. According to the article, he’s 21, but on his MySpace, he claims to be 17.

  • Portland craigslist predator sentenced

    Portland craigslist predator sentenced

    Offender sentenced for Craigslist teen sex charges:

    I originally posted about Douglas French here. He’s the 36-year-old jackhole that put an ad on craigslist for models aged 16-19 and had sex with a 17-year-old girl who applied for the ad. He also supplied her with drugs and alcohol.

    French had a previous arrest for shacking up with a 16-year-old runaway in Montana. He pleaded not guilty back in August, but a judge found him guilty of using a child in a sexual display and sex abuse. He was sentenced to 15 years.
