    Plea reached in Dunbar Village rape case

    Dunbar rape suspect pleads guilty, gets 20 years:

    Well, I knew it was only a matter of time before one of the suspects in the horrendous Dunbar Village gang rape case would turn on his homeboys.

    16-year-old Jakaris Taylor pleaded guilty to charges of burglary and two counts of armed sexual battery. To refresh your memory, Taylor and his cohorts are accused of storming the apartment of a woman and her son, gang-raped the woman and forced her to have sex with her son.

    In the plea, Taylor was sentenced to 20 years behind bars, sparing him three consecutive life sentences. Part of the plea requires him to testify against the other suspects.

    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.

  • 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.

  • California craigslist rapist

    California craigslist rapist

    Police seek rape clues:

    Let me preface this by saying that this was sent to me by a professional escort.

    Anaheim police arrested Waymon Livingston, 24, of Stanton, charging him with murder and raping three women.

    The murder charge includes a special circumstance for rape, authorities said.

    Authorities believe he could be connected to other assaults and are appealing to the public to step forward with information.

    One woman was raped Aug. 21, 2005 in an Anaheim parking lot, police said. Then another woman was raped in a Stanton hotel room Oct. 25, 2006. The Costa Mesa assault happened May 7, according to authorities.

    Livingston contacted a masseuse through Craigslist for a private session at the Best Western on Newport Boulevard, Costa Mesa Sgt. Bryan Glass said. During the session, Livingston propositioned the woman for sex and she refused.

    Livingston allegedly strangled the woman until she passed out, Glass said. When she woke up hours later she went to Fountain Valley Hospital, Glass said.

    “We collected DNA from her person and crime scene and turned it into the crime lab,” but investigators didn’t make the connection until months later, Glass said.

    After Livingston was arrested in connection with the three rapes, investigators were able to link him to the Sept. 9 slaying in Anaheim of Melissa Ann Gonzalez, 21, of Sacramento, through DNA evidence, authorities said.

    Like I’ve pointed out before, there’s immense danger lurking on both sides of the craigslist erotic services section.

    Let me wrap this up with what the escort sent me in her e-mail.

    Hi,

    i thought you might be interested in this link for your blog. Recently apprehended, this guy was targeting working girls in Orange County California and one of his methods in finding them was though craigslist (he had others).

    this guy attacked many other girls who are not listed in the article and it personally touched my life.

    Stay safe out there, ladies.

  • Werribee teens convicted

    Werribee teens convicted

    Seven convicted over Werribee sex DVD assault:

    Seven teens were convicted over the infamous Werribee, Australia rape DVD because let’s face it, it was nothing short of rape.

    The group took her to nearby river parkland where they began filming their activity, surrounding her in a circle and chanting “The Victim” – the title of the segment in which she featured on the DVD.

    The youths cheered and chanted as she was urinated on, set alight, poked with sticks and made to perform sex acts.

    Her clothes are taken and thrown in muddy water with two boys using her mascara to scrawl the title of the movie across her chest.

    You’d think they’d receive jail time, but that’s what we get for thinkin’.

    Of the eight who pleaded guilty six were placed on strict youth supervision orders for up to 18 months and two on year-long probation.

    All will be required to attend a counseling program for young sex offenders.

    I don’t know what it’s like in Australia, but here in The States, we all know how well counseling works. It rarely does. I’m sure these kids will be back in trouble with the law before we know it.

    Thanks to Alan for the link.

  • Dunbar Village suspect trying to cut a deal

    Dunbar Village suspect trying to cut a deal

    Suspect, 14, offers to tell all in West Palm Beach rape:

    One of the suspects in the Dunbar Village gang rape case is trying to cut a deal with prosecutors. 14-year-old Avion Lawson is trying to say that his life was threatened by one of the other suspects if he didn’t help rape the victim.

    Lawson, who was arrested July 3, denied involvement in the crime before DNA evidence on a condom linked him to the June 18 rape. In his letters he said he, too, was a victim and blamed the attack on another suspect, Tommy Lee Poindexter, 18.

    “He had a gun to my head and I couldn’t do nothing,” Lawson wrote. “If I would of ran I would of got shot or be dead. So I had no choice. He put it to my head and said ‘Do it.’ And when I stopped I tried to leave. He told me to get back down or he’ll kill me.”

    Lawson was apologetic in one of the letters to Belohlavek and said it was “stupid of me doing that.”

    “If you would of seen what happened, it’s like your worst nightmare,” Lawson wrote. “Especially what happened to the boy. And it seems like they were having fun. They were laughing and videoing.”

    Lawson wants to go home. He said in letters that he is only allowed three showers a week and stays in his jail cell 23 hours a day.

    “I cry every night,” he wrote. “I just want to go home. I just want to go home.”

    You should have thought of that before you and your friends decided to break in to that woman’s home.

  • Dissension in Dunbar

    Dissension in Dunbar

    Jail letters talk strategy in Dunbar Village rape case, records show:

    It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the Dunbar Village rape case. In case you’ve forgotten, that was when a bunch of teen thugs broke into this woman’s apartment, gang-raped her, and forced her to have sex with her 12-year-old son.

    It seems that there is dissension in their ranks.

    Deputies seized two letters from 14-year-old Avion Lawson, whose DNA was found on a condom left at the rape scene. A letter Lawson picked up in front of co-defendant Jakaris Taylor’s cell says “real niggas don’t take pleas,” but the writer urges Lawson to do so.

    “But they no you wuz in the house so just stick up to it bro … they really do got yo DNA,” the letter says.

    The letter is signed “Bean Boys,” Soulja and L’il Beast.

    A few weeks after that July letter, a jail deputy confiscated a second one from Lawson’s styrofoam food tray after a meal, a letter to an unnamed person. The writer claims he never had sex with the woman but knows who did. “Now if they trying to give me life for something I ain’t do … they goin’ wit me.”

    There is, though, a transcript of a phone conversation Lawson had while using a phone at the police station. In it, he complains that another suspect, a 14-year-old not charged, is ratting him out in the interview room next door. He says the female detective knew a lot details about the crime that she otherwise would not have known.

    It’s only a matter of time before somebody rolls on their buddies, if they haven’t already.

    What I want to know though is when the other arrests are coming. Allegedly, police have the names of other suspects, but only four of the alleged 10 are in jail.

  • David Laguna sentenced

    Rapist David Laguna Sentenced to 19 Years, 4 months:

    I originally posted about David Laguna here. He’s the scumbag who met a 56-year-old disabled woman on Tagworld, drove 8 hours to her house, and then raped her. He was looking at 26 years behind bars, but as you can tell by the headline, he only got 19 years and 4 months.

    Read this and tell me he shouldn’t have gotten at least the max…

    From her wheelchair, the trembling 56 year-old victim spoke directly to the defendant at the sentencing hearing: “David, do you know what you took away from me?”

    “In my own home, in my life, there is not peace. I can’t sleep in the hospital bed where I was terrorized. I can’t look at that bed.”

    “I have already lost so much of my life because of my medical conditions but I always had the will and inner strength to cope. Now I have lost that will.”

    The victim suffers from many serious and debilitating illnesses, including Parkinson’s disease, cardiacarrythmia, congestive heart failure, gout, and chronic pain. Her spine is sandwiched between two steel rods that run the entire length of her back.

    Plus, she isn’t his first victim…

    After a lengthy trial, which included testimony from the defendant’s former wife that the defendant raped her three days after the birth of their child, while she was recovering from episiotomy surgery, the jury found the defendant guilty of six felony charges including forcible rape and dependent-adult abuse.

    Scumbag should be thrown in a dark hole for the rest of his life.
