  • Utah MySpace rapist

    Hurricane police arrest rape suspect who met alleged victim on MySpace.com:

    Police In Hurricane, Utah arrested 21-year-old David R. Miller (no MySpace found) on rape charges. Miller met his 18-year-old victim on MySpace after she had recently moved to the area to attend school.

    The victim told police she had numerous on-line conversations with the suspect and the two agreed to meet. They drove to a remote location in Hurricane City, where the reported rape occurred.

    The alleged suspect was located and interrogated a few days later. Det. Raleigh Morris arrested 21-year-old David R. Miller on one count of rape and one count of forcible sodomy, both first class felonies. Miller was booked into Purgatory Correctional Facility on Aug. 28.

    Purgatory doesn’t quite sound enough. I wish it was called the Hell Correctional Facility myself.

  • Polygamist’s son convicted

    Son of imprisoned polygamist sent to jail:

    Apparently, the “tendencies” of the father were passed on to the son.

    19-year-old William Green was sentenced to 180 days for having sex with a 13-year-old girl that he met on MySpace.

    Green’s father, Tom Green, is an infamous Utah polygamist who was convicted in 2001 for having sex with…anyone care to guess…that’s right, a 13-year-old girl.

    It seems like an affection for 13-year-old girls is not the only thing that was passed from father to son.

    ”He’s a remorseful kid,” his attorney, David Leavitt, said. ”He’s married and has full-time work. I think you’ll see this is a blip on the radar screen.”

    I guess the rotten apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.

    In addition to his 180 days behind bars Green the Younger must avoid porn, stay out of “chat rooms”, and pay a $500 fine.
