  • Mr. Do arrested in craigslist sting

    Police nab Reston man in online child sex sting:

    Police in Fairfax, Virginia have arrested Bao Duc Do of Reston, Va. for responding to a craigslist ad that was placed by Fairfax police. The problem with that is that the advertisement was an ad Fairfax police were using in a sting to flush out sexual predators.

    The phony ad hinted that a man was willing to rent out his juvenile daughters for sex. When Mr. Do responded to the ad he discussed prices and terms with the ‘father’ of the girls. He negotiated a price of $150/hr. for an 11-year-old girl. When he was arrested at the pre-arranged meeting place he had $800 on him so he was planning on at least 5 hours with the girl.

    What I’d like to know is how did the police department’s ad even make it on to craigslist. I thought craigslist users are supposed to flag any ad that may be for illegal activity. Again I ask how’s that working out?

  • Parent presents package pictures to police, pervert pinched

    Police: Man Sends Girl Cell Pics Of Genitals:

    20-year-old Jonathan Roush of Ohio has been arrested for sending naked pictures of himself to a 13-year-old girl he met over Vampirefreaks.

    The girl’s father discovered the photos of Roush’s member at full attention along with explicit text messages.

    This time you can’t even use the ‘she said she was 16’ defense because according to the article her VF profile clearly states that she is 13.

    And to add insult to perversion…

    The judge set Roush’s bond at $500,000. Newsome said when the high bond was set, a group of onlookers in the Franklin County courtroom cheered.

    I love it when people cheer the bad fortunes of criminals.

  • Man who solicited handyman’s daughter re-arrested

    Man charged with soliciting 12-year-old through her dad:

    Back in September, I posted a story about a guy who responded to a craigslist ad for a handyman in Maine. The handyman posted in his ad that he was trying to feed his family. The slime who responded to his ad instead offered money to have sex with the man’s 12-year-old daughter. That slime was thankfully arrested and his name is Michael Berk.

    It seems that Berk was wanted by the Secret Service for his actions and is now in their custody.

    The article I linked to also gives additional details about Berk’s arrest.

    Berk had offered the handyman $300 for three ‘visits’ each week with his daughter. Luckily the handyman he was expecting was replaced with a Maine State Trooper with a microphone.

    When authorities searched Berk’s computer there were images of Thai children performing sexual acts from an alleged child sex tour Berk took of Thailand.

    Berk was released by Maine authorities on $1000 bail. Good job there Maine.

    He was arrested in Frederick County, Maryland for loitering in a motel parking lot. It was then he tripped Secret Services radar.

    This is why they should give the death penalty to serial child molesters like this scumbag. God only knows how many victims this perversion of humanity has had.

  • Handyman ad gets response from pedophile

    Police: Man Solicited Sex From Child Online:

    The headline is a little misleading.

    A Maine father of four placed an ad on craigslist advertising his services as a handyman so he could feed his kids.

    Instead, 28-year-old Michael Berk emailed the man saying he would pay the man if he could have sex with one of his children. Being a decent father the man called the police on Berk.

    This should show you the type of people who are trolling craigslist. Even when you’re trying to feed your children you still have to worry about scumbags like this.

  • Youngniceguy is neither

    Quick-Thinking Dad Helps Nab Sex Predator Suspect:

    I wouldn’t say quick thinking I would just say that he’s a knowledgeable parent.

    Anyway, this father saw one of his 14-year-old daughter’s MySpace messages. It was a sexually suggestive message sent from someone calling himself ‘youngniceguy’. Dad decided to play the role of the daughter and at that point, ‘youngniceguy’ was trying to get sex from the 14-year-old.

    Dad called the cops and it turns out that ‘youngniceguy’ is neither young nor nice. Police arrested 36-year-old Alan Dean Sims. Sims is being charged with criminal solicitation of a minor and attempted criminal sexual conduct. Both are felonies and he’s looking at 30 years.

    Who will be the first to come to his defense on these pages? Friend, family, or significant other?

  • NC father busted on family vacation

    Teen sex charges for Monroe man:

    There was no confirmation in this story that any social networking site was used in the crime. However, this story is sort of local to me and the guy is so stupid I needed to post this.

    48-year-old Michael Richard Wullschleger of Monroe, NC took his family on a vacation to Florida. He dropped them off at a hotel near Sea World and then went online where he started conversing rather lewdly with three 14-year-old girls. He then drove from Orlando to Lakeland to meet with one of these girls for the purpose of sex.

    It turned out that not only was the 14-year-old girl he was meeting a Polk County detective but all three ‘girls’ he chatted with were detectives. D’Oh.

    To make matters worse Wullschleger is also a swim coach and a school bus driver.

  • Virginia Beach MySpace predator arrested

    Va. Beach woman charged with soliciting teen on MySpace:

    39-year-old Jennifer Lawson of Virginia Beach has been arrested for soliciting sex from a 15-year-old boy on MySpace. The 15-year-old is the son of a family friend. Lawson is also accused of supplying the 15-year-old with marijuana and alcohol.

  • Va. attorney arrested in craigslist child prostitution sting

    Attorney Arrested for Answering Child Sex Ad:

    29-year-old attorney Adam Bryant has been arrested in a craigslist undercover sting where undercover detectives placed an ad on craigslist from a father that was offering his 13-year-old daughter for sex. Bryant offered $1000 and was arrested when he arrived at the predetermined meeting place.

    Investigators are also saying that Bryant has been in contact with child prostitutes since 2006.

    How is this a victimless crime again?

    Corning man apprehended in MySpace sex sting:

    32-year-old Benjamin Dennis of Corning, California was arrested for trying to solicit sex from a 13-year-old over the internet. Except that the 13-year-old was actually an investigator from the Tehama County district attorney’s office.

    The fake 13-year-old even has its own MySpace.

    And lose the soul patch you tool.

  • Yet another Connecticut Creeper

    Yet another Connecticut Creeper

    MySpace Link Yields Arrest:

    From the state that brought you such ‘luminaries’ as Scott Shefelbine and David Leonard comes the story of one Christopher Griswold.

    He’s a 21-year-old male from the Constitution State who caught by a 12-year-old girl’s mother trying to lure the 12-year-old for sex over MySpace.

    Region 10 School Superintendent Alan Beitman had some great advice for parents that I’m sure will fall on deaf ears.

    “Parents need to be sure their computer is in a place that’s visible” so they can keep some control over their children’s activities online, Beitman said. “They don’t have to sit with their children — just walk by the computer once in a while.”

    By the way, Connecticut, how is all that new MySpace legislation working for you?
