  • Nexopia predator getting light sentence

    Tough sentence sought for Calgary internet predator:

    I originally posted about Matthew Allan Armstrong here. He’s the slimeball from Calgary who used to Nexopia to try to set up meetings with underage girls. Armstrong is 27.

    He approached a 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old girl, a 19-year-old girl who posed as a 13-year-old girl ala To Catch a Predator and a 13-year-old girl who was actually a police detective.

    He even met the 14-year-old and had sex with her in a train station restroom. Classy.

    He sent messages to over 100 girls on Nexopia with over 532 pages of chats. When underage girls would tell him their age he would say ‘age is just a number’. That’s the motto of the child predator.

    So what is he looking at for all these offenses? 18-24 months and his lawyer is trying to get him time served. His lawyer says that Armstrong has a form of muscular dystrophy which affects his judgment. That fact that he says age is just a number tells me that he knew exactly what he was doing and 18-24 months is a joke for an obvious serial predator.

  • Scott Shefelbine’s mom to be charged

    Tolland Sex Offender’s Mother Charged With Perjury:

    Who can forget our favorite MySpace predator Scott Shefelbine who was arrested over a dozen times even while on parole for assaulting underage girls? Or his father who was arrested for punching out a female reporter? Now Scott Shefelbine’s mother may now complete the Shefelbine family arrest trifecta.

    Prosecutors are charging 66-year-old Gail L. Shefelbine with nine counts of perjury.

    If you followed this site during the younger Shefelbine’s saga you’ll remember that Mrs. Shefelbine tried saying that her son’s violation of his house arrest was to attend church and as proof, she presented the classic standby of the church bulletin. Old school Catholics like myself will find that amusing.

    It turns out that Mrs. Shefelbine allegedly went around to different churches requesting old church bulletins.

    So if these accusations are true Mrs. Shefelbine basically covered for her son while he went out and diddled some underage girls.

    There’s also some issue of a possible fake beard that Shefelbine may have worn. I wonder if it was special effects type make up or if it was from a costume shop. Either thought is kind of disturbing.

  • Texas craigslist kidnapping

    Kidnapped girl to return to Austin Thursday:

    33-year-old David Snyder of Pflugerville, Texas was arrested in New Jersey on kidnapping charges for taking a 15-year-old girl from Austin he met on craigslist to the Garden State.

    The girl’s mother claimed that the pair met over craigslist and began text messaging each other. When her mother found out she took away the girl’s cell phone. However, as kids are want to do the girl would use a friend’s cell phone or internet.

    Snyder was arrested in Newark while the pair were trying to board a bus to New York. The girl went willingly with Snyder but due to her age, it is considered kidnapping.

    Snyder also has a previous arrest record for aggravated sexual assault of a child on an unrelated case.

    So by craigslist’s philosophy shouldn’t Snyder’s ad, which I’m assuming he posted, have been flagged by craigslist’s legendary policing community? Oh, that’s right, guys like Snyder are craigslist’s community and wouldn’t flag anything related to sex whether it’s illegal or not.
