California introduces its own MySpace sex offender bill

Bill to ban social networking for sex offenders:

Some California politicians got together and sponsored a bill that would target registered sex offenders on social networking sites. This time the politicians in question are Assemblywoman Norma Torres and San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris (not pictured).

Assembly Bill 2208 is aimed at barring registered sex offenders from having social networking profiles. However it doesn't require them to surrender their e-mail addresses. Not to mention it doesn't address the threat of unregistered sexual predators nor does it tell parents to do their damn job.

Ms. Harris said it will offer a deterrent to sex offenders who do not want to return to jail. Do you know what really deters sex offenders from returning to jail? Not letting them out in the first place.

Ms. Harris is no stranger to these pages as I blogged about her in 2004 for not pursuing the death penalty for a cop killer.

Just more bad legislation intended to garner votes from stupid parents.

California man accused of beating and imprisoning MySpace date

Mr. Mellow over there is 31-year-old Raymond Brau of Sacramento, California. Don't let the cool demeanor fool you. He's accused of beating his MySpace date in an Antioch hotel room because she was talking to other men on MySpace.

Brau allegedly ran from the hotel when someone else heard the commotion.

How he got caught was when he threatened to slit the throat of the hotel clerk when they charged his credit card for damage to the hotel room.

Way to keep that anger in check Ray-Ray.

Pro wrestler arrested in MySpace child sex assault

33-year-old Matthew Casteneda was arrested in Anaheim, California was arrested in the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl that he allegedly met on MySpace.

Casteneda allegedly picked up the girl in Santa Ana then went by bus...it's always by bus isn't it...and sexually assaulted the girl in a motel near Disneyland in Anaheim.

Police believe Casteneda has victimized other minors, and asked anyone with more information to contact detectives at (714) 765-1958.

But get this, Castaneda is a 'pro', and I use that term loosely, wrestler that goes by the name of Chippy Sanchez.

You would think that Chippy could at least find an of age ring rat.

More details on Threlkeld

Here we have some more details on Mr. Neck Tattoo Child Molester (allegedly) Joshua Threlkeld.

I've already explained his modeling scam. Check out what happened (allegedly) at one of his 'modeling sessions'...

One of the girls said Threlkeld also drove her to a condo in Palm Springs, according to Weinstein's declaration, and took pictures of her in a see-through yellow gown. But then, after a few photographs, he said the camera broke. With her mother on welfare and three months behind on the rent, the girl became upset she wasn't going to be paid for the modeling shoot, according to the declaration. Threlkeld took the girl into the shower, where he had sex with her, according to the declaration. "He then paid her $120 and took her home," Weinstein wrote.

That girl was 13 or 14 years old at the time. That is the definition of predatory. And speaking of his neck tattoo...

Just before Threlkeld was arrested, he added to his already extensive tattoo collection. Across the front of his neck he had these words tattooed in cursive - backward. "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind."

That's from Dr. Seuss.

Nothing says creepy and possibly satanic child molester like a backwards tattoo of a children's book on your neck.

Threlkeld ordered to stand trial

I originally posted about Joshua Threlkeld here and here.

He's the man from Southern California who posed as a 13-year-old girl named Sara on MySpace in order to pull the model scam to get underage girls to send him explicit pictures of themselves.

He has at least 80 victims in at least 3 different countries all under the age of 18.

He is also facing rape charges as well.

He has been ordered to stand trial for 23 of the 149 counts against him. The other counts may be coming.

He's looking at several life sentences. Hopefully he'll get at least one of them.

Achilles Dartgnan Corelleone pleads no contest

I originally posted about Achilles Dartgnan Corelleone here. Turns out his real name is Arlan Gene Reynoldson. So I guess his parrents didn't hate him. They should.

Anyway, 47-year-old Corelleone pleaded no contest to charges of molesting a 14-year-old boy from Covina, California that he met over MySpace.

MySpace predator with ludicrous alibi gets no prison time 

No Prison Time for MySpace Predator:

I orginally posted about Kevin Dale Pierce here. Back in 2007 the then 33-year-old Pierce was arrested for posing as a 19-year-old art student from UCLA soliciting nude pictures from underage girls over MySpace. When he was arrested he told police he did not believe he was breaking the law as long as he did not meet the girls in person. Because apparently he thinks that California must not have child pornography laws.

And it seems that they may not as Riverside Superior Court Judge Mark Mandio gave Pierce probation after he pleaded guilty to...

...two counts each of annoying or molesting a child under 18 years old and communicating with a minor with the intent to commit a specified offense and 25 counts of bringing into the state matter depicting a child sexually.

When he was first arrested police sound they found several external hard drives yet all he gets is probation. See Canada, I'm not just picking on you.

So this scumbag poses as a 19-year-old 'art student' to get nude pics from underage girls and all he gets is probation. Good job Judge Mark Mandio, you set loose another dangerous predator back on the internet.

California dad confronts MySpace predator

Father Confronts MySpace Predator, Man Arrested:

Here we have a father going above and beyond the call of fatherhood.

A man found out that 28-year-old George Hanna of Sacramento, California was contacting his 13-year-old daughter through MySpace.

The father took over the MySpace account and posed as his daughter. He told Hanna that 'he' was 13 and of course Hanna allegedly didn't care and started messaging her for sex.

The father arranged a meeting between Hanna and when Hanna showed up Dad was there armed with his camera and took pictures of the alleged predator.

"He looked at me and I started pulling out my camera to take pictures of him, and he asked if I knew him, and I said 'no, but you know my 13-year-old daughter who you want to sleep with.' That's when he started to run away," he told CBS13.

That's awesome. However I do not recommend that everyone do this as it could have catastrophic results.

And I give kudos to the dad to have the restraint of not beating Hanna within an inch of his life.

Jason Ara Erpinar: Alleged serial rapist

Man charged with raping women he met on MySpace:

Bizarro Ed Grimley over there is 20-year-old Jason Ara Erpinar of Yorba Linda, California. He's been a busy little sexual predator for such a young age. Erpinar is accused of raping three women, two of which he allegedly met on MySpace.

He allegedly raped an 18-year-old that he met on MySpace at a party in the bathroom while she was intoxicated. Shortly after that he allegedly date raped a 22-year-old woman that he met on MySpace in a motel room.

And to put the cherry on top of the rapist sundae his ex-girlfriend told police that Erpinar raped her repeatedly for over a year.

Police believe there may be even more victims...

Anyone with additional information or who believes they have been a victim is asked to contact Supervising District Attorney Investigator Tim Craig at (714) 347-8558.

Ladies, don't let yourself become a victim to scumbags like this. Avoid the MySpace hookups.

Man uses MySpace to have teens spit on him

Ventura County man arrested for reportedly paying teens to spit on him:

Man Jailed For Allegedly Paying Teen To Spit On Him:

39-year-old Charles Hersel of Thousand Oaks, California was arrested this past week for allegedly paying teens $31 to spit on him and curse at him. Police report that he used MySpace to contact his..um...victims? He was charged with misdemeanor child annoyance. Who knew that was a crime. I hope my kids don't turn me in. Then again I never had them spit on me paid or otherwise.

While this story may seem harmless and humorous police think he may have also paid teens to piss and crap on him.
