Judge: New Britain Man Who Created Fake MySpace Page Should Face Trial:
22-year-old Matthew Aiudi of Connecticut tried to get a slap on the wrist for making a fake ‘sexually explicit’ MySpace of a woman he felt ignored him.

Superior Court Judge Joan Alexander rejected Matthew Aiudi’s request for accelerated probation. She said in New Britain that the complicated scheme was “malicious and dangerous” and made the woman fearful for her safety by announcing on the Web page that the woman was interested in casual sex with strangers, especially older men.

Auldi has been charged with second-degree harassment, fifth-degree computer crime and obscenity which he has pleaded not guilty to.

Teen who posted nude photos on MySpace pleads not guilty:
Remember 17-year-old Alex Phillips? He was the kid who said “f*** that” when police asked him to remove nude pics of his 16-year-old ex from his MySpace.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing child porn, sexual exploitation of a child and defamation.

He’s trying the ‘ignorance of the law’ defense…

Phillips admitted during police questioning he had posted the pictures and a sexually graphic caption to ‘vent’ at the girl and didn’t realize the photographs amounted to child pornography, Yehle said.

Hopefully a judge or jury will say f*** that when it comes to his verdict.

Baby daddy kind of a dick

Dad says Craigslist ad to sell baby was just a ‘sick joke’:

The mother of the baby that was put up for sale on the Vancouver, BC craigslist says it was just a joke and the baby daddy is kind of a dick.

Instead, Bethany Granholm, 23, said Jeremy Pete, 26, was just “joking” and being a “bit of a dick” when he posted the controversial ad last Friday.

See.

Pete, who has a three-month-old son with another woman with whom he now lives, explained to The Province the ad resulted from a comment a friend made to him about how “adorable” his children were. He said the friend suggested he sell him one of his kids.

Someone needs to learn how to use a prophylactic. That’s a rubber for those who don’t know.

The article states that the mother has cleaned herself up but the baby is still a ward of the province right now.

Portsmouth police follow high-tech leads in teen homicide case:
Police in Portsmouth, Virginia and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) are hoping that records from MySpace will shed some light on the murder of 16-year-old Meghan Landowski.

Meghan’s body was found in her home on April 10th.

Naval investigators want to go through the records at MySpace to see Meghan’s private messages and the like.

NCIS is involved because a Navy man is considered a person of interest.

FL man accused of sex with 12-year-old

Apopka Man Accused Of Having Sex With MySpace Girl, 12:
28-year-old Luis Quinones of Orange County, Florida was arrested this week for having sex with a 12-year-old girl that he met over MySpace.

Again it’s time to remind parents that the minimum age for MySpace is 14.

Anyway, Quinones admitted to having consensual sex with the 12-year-old and is using the ‘she said she was 19′ defense. There is a huge difference between a 19-year-old girl and a 12-year-old girl. If you can’t tell the two apart maybe you shouldn’t be trying to breed in the first place.

The girl admits telling Quinones that she was 19 and that they had sex over 20 times and even skipped school to have sex with him.

I would lay odds that at least somewhere along the way he found out she was 12 and didn’t care. And again the ‘she said she was…’ excuse hasn’t worked in the history of age of consent.

Let’s not forget to ask where was this girl’s parent(s)? But still the ultimate responsibility lies with Quinones.

Craigslist Ad Leads To Antioch Prostitution Sting:

Police in Antioch, California have arrested yet another craigslist hooker in one of their stings.

This time it was Kimelyse Hurley who not only had a meth pipe on her but also admitted to have 5 other girls working for her.

None of those girls could be considered victims could they?

Vancouver apartment scammer busted

Alleged Craigslist scammer charged with fraud:

Police in Vancouver, British Columbia have arrested 31-year-old Edward Frank Hamilton on fraud charges.

Hamilton would take ads out on craigslist claiming to rent out apartments that weren’t his. He’s then collect deposits from people after meeting them at a fast food place. Then he’d give the victims phony keys that didn’t go to the apartments that he claimed to own.

It seems that Hamilton has quite the record too…

“We’ve had 43 contacts with him in the last few years, most of them in relation to frauds. He’s a very busy person,” Fanning said.

Two things need to happen to stop these kind of scams. First people need to educate themselves about scammers on craigslist and secondly craigslist needs to do away with the complete anonymity they afford their users.
