  • Woman who hired accused baby sitter speaks out

    St. Paul woman says she unknowingly hired pornographer to babysit:

    This is an article about a woman who hired craigslist baby sitter/child pornographer Aaron Lemon. Luckily it appears that her child was unharmed but I want to discuss some quotes from the article.

    She said she interviewed him at length and watched him care for her children twice in her home before hiring him.

    “I really never saw any red flags at all,” Bang said.

    That’s the problem. You won’t.

    It seems obvious that Lemon had his ‘skill’ finely honed.

    The woman said that she was desperate for a baby sitter so she turned to craigslist. I wouldn’t personally trust someone from craigslist to babysit a slug. They’d probably molest the slug.

  • The craigslist baby sitter who made child porn

    Craigslist baby sitter pleads guilty to child pornography:

    23-year-old Aaron Jay Lemon of Little Canada, MN has pleaded guilty to child pornography charges. He answered a craigslist ad for a baby sitter in 2007 but in reality, he was nothing more than a filthy pedophile who likes to make child porn.

    While babysitting for a family in St. Paul he persuaded the child into sexual activity and recorded it. Police say the victim was a 2-year-old girl.

    He’s looking at 30-years behind bars.

    Thanks to Bonnie, Greg and Soobs.

    Web driving human trafficking:

    Our favorite website has been mentioned in the same breath as human trafficking once again.

    There was a human trafficking conference in Minnesota and this is what someone in the know had to say.

    Heather Weyker, a 10-year veteran of the St. Paul Police Department, had this to say.

    “We’re on Craig’s List constantly, looking for girls who look young,” Weyker said at the conference, describing the popular online classifieds site. “They always have captors. How many 13-year-old girls think, ‘Hey, I think I’ll put myself on Craig’s List.”‘

    And this is what you’re supporting when you use a craigslist or any other kind of prostitute.

    They don’t have the option to quit their “work” without suffering physical or sexual punishment, conference participants said. They can’t even walk out the door unaccompanied by one of their captors.

    “We’re not just talking about illegal aliens or about people who are disadvantaged,” said U.S. Attorney Rachel Paulose. “These are also girls from the suburbs. It can affect anyone.”

    Victimless crime, my ass.
