U.S. Marshals Arrest Missing Rape Suspect:

The last we heard about Bruce Martin he skipped out on his court date for raping a woman he met through craigslist. If you'll recall Martin is accused of raping a woman he met  through craigslist. he allegedly lured her by promising to help with her modeling career and then we he met her he flashed a phony badge and raped her.

Anyway since his jaunt from the law after cutting off his ankle monitor he has been captured by the U.S. Marshals.

Martin says he's being framed...

"Why did I run? I felt I was being railroaded. … (I) felt I was being railroaded, can't get a fair trial and (I) didn't do anything wrong," Martin said.

I'm expecting the next thing he'll say was that the one armed man did it.

David Bryan, Accused of Asking Girl, 13, to Wear Red Undies, Meet Him for Sex:

It's been over a decade since the last and only time I was in California. If I ever go back I want to go to Huntington Beach. Their police department is starting to become one of my favorites. Much like the Punta Gorda, Florida police have done to get predators and drug dealers off of MySpace in their community the Huntington Beach PD is doing the same in getting craigslist predators out of theirs.

This time the suspect is one 40-year-old David Walker Bryan of Anaheim.  Bryan is accused of approaching a 13-year-old girl on the casual encounters section and sending her explicit e-mails and text messages one of which allegedly instructed the girl to masturbate at school.

Bryan was arrested when he met the girl at her house for what he thought was going to be a sexual liaison. However as I'm sure you guessed by now the girl was actually the Huntington Beach Police Department.

Let us not also forget that Bryan is a registered sex offender.

The sad part of this story is that this scumbag is only looking at 5 years behind bars.

The laws need to be changed to keep predators like this behind bars for much longer than these paltry sentences they've been getting. Where are the Attorneys General on that?

And to keep flogging a deceased equine where was the much touted community policing of the casual encounters section on flagging an ad from a 13-year-old girl?

Fire Captain Arrested In Sex Sting:

55-year-old Martin Vohwinkel, which no offense sounds like the name of a child molester, of Henderson, Nevada was arrested for using craigslist's casual encounters section to try and set up a meeting with a minor for sex. Vohwinkel is also a captain of the Clark County Fire Department.

Vohwinkel allegedly placed an ad that said he was looking for sex with a young girl. As is usual in these cases the response to his ad came from the Henderson police posing as a 14-year-old girl. Vohwinkel allegedly said that he wanted to meet the girl ASAP and that the younger the better and that he was *shudder* horny.

The best part is when police set up the meeting and went to arrest him they called a number that Vohwinkel had provided the 'girl' and his phone rang.

Again this 'allegedly' happened on the craigslist casual encounters section. Where was the self policing by the craigslist community? Oh that's right, there was none so the real police had to get involved.

Accused rapist doesn't show up for trial:

PBSO: Rape suspect cuts off ankle monitor, disappears before trial:

I originally posted about Bruce Martin here. He's accused of raping a woman he met through craigslist when he offered to help her modeling career. Allegedly when they met Martin flashed a phony badge and raped her.

His trial was supposed to start on Monday but Martin decided to skip the whole process.

He is said to have cut off his monitoring device and took off. At last check he had not been apprehended.

Who would have thought that an alleged rapist wouldn't honor his legal commitments after being let out? Another reason not to let them out in the first place.
