  • Pedophile fire captain turned in by own daughter

    Sort of…

    Former South Jordan fire captain charged in child porn case:

    45-year-old Michael Farnsworth of Riverton, Utah is under arrest on child pornography charges. He used to be a fire captain in the South Jordan Fire Department.

    It all started when his daughter found a fake MySpace profile he was using that said he was 21-years-old. The daughter told Mrs. Farnsworth who confronted him about it. He claimed that was the profile he used to monitor his daughter’s activity on MySpace. I don’t know how he explained why all his MySpace friends were underage girls.

    A co-worker of Mrs. Farnsworth tipped off police. I wonder how the coworker was tipped off. Anyway, police did a forensic search of Farnsworth’s computers and found a cache of child porn. But not just any child porn…

    A forensic analysis of Farnsworth’s computer hard drives revealed several child pornography photos, including two listed on the nationwide Child Victim Identification Program.

    You can’t much lower than that.

  • Suspected Utah MySpace rapist arrested

    Myspace used to find rape victims?:

    21-year-old Aaron Clow is not only accused of having sex with a 13-year-old girl but he’s also accused of raping several other underage girls.

    A man arrested for having sex with a 13-year-old girl also is suspected of contacting underage girls via MySpace.com, befriending their families, and then raping the girls. Aaron Clow, 21, was taken into custody after a Taylorsville teenager told police she had a relationship with him for three years – since she was 13.

    The scariest part is that these parents fell for his line of bull. I would have never let my daughter be alone with any 21-year-old.

    Thanks to a different Aaron for the tip.

  • Utah MySpace rapist

    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

    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.
