WI school official sentenced for solicitation

Christopher Nelson

Ex-school official in New Holstein sentenced in Internet sex sting:

I originally posted about Christopher Nelson here. He is the 59-year-old school official from the New Holstein School District in Wisconsin who was arrested in Milwaukee for soliciting a 15-year-old boy through craigslist. The 15-year-old boy was actually a Milwaukee police officer.

This past week he was sentenced to a mere 5 years in prison and 5 years supervision. That’s the minimum sentence according to Wisconsin law. So he wanted him and his ‘boy’ (a 24-year-old) to get with a 15-year-old boy and had child porn in his possession and at his school district office and he only gets 5 years? Pathetic.

Also let’s not forget the usual calls that go unheard for craigslist to moderate the personals and casual encounters section. It seems that everyone has let craigslist off the hook except me.

3 robbed, two shot in one night in Milwaukee

Three robberies, two shootings tied to Craigslist ad:

Late last Thursday night in Milwaukee three people were robbed and two were shot after responding to similar ads on craigslist. The ads were for a used car three people responded to the various ads. All three were robbed while two were shot with one being in critical condition. No arrests have been made at this time.

Again, since craigslist is free and unmoderated the threshold of entry is very low for criminals. If you’re going shopping for a car I would recommend either Auto Trader where ads are paid for or Geebo.com where the ads are moderated.

With craigslist it doesn’t matter where you meet the person anymore.

WI school administrator charged with craigslist child solicitation

Christopher Nelson

New Holstein administrator charged in child sex crime case:

Police in Milwaukee arrested New Holstein School District Administrator Christopher Nelson, 58, for allegedly soliciting sex from a 15-year-old boy on craigslist. Nelson is said to have posted a men seeking men ad on craigslist. The ad supposedly said that Nelson was looking to hook up with him and his “boy…a hot Japanese 24 (years old).”

Since you’re reading this here it’s safe to assume that the 15-year-old was actually the Milwaukee police.

Nelson is said to have exchanged e-mails with the ’15-year-old’ about sexual details of a party that Nelson attended and that when they met at the hotel Nelson wanted the boy to wear ‘school clothes’.

At the time of Nelson’s arrest the Milwaukee hotel room had condoms and sex toys inside.

The school district has said though that there is no evidence that Nelson had any inappropriate contact with any of their students. However public schools being what they are Nelson has been placed on paid leave.

Again this just shows not only the failures of an unmoderated website like craigslist but also the type of predators that use it to find victims.

As I’ve said before Geebo.com removed their personals section just to avoid such incidents.

Iron man of pimps gets 25 years

Man sentenced to 25 years for child sex trafficking:

I originally posted about Todd “King Tut” Carter here.

He’s the pimp from Milwaukee, Wisconsin who pimped for over 2 decades and was busted for pimping out underage girls on craigslist.

It turns out he has also sired 16 children that he owes a cubic assload of child support to.

Anyway he’s been sentenced to 25 years behind bars on child prostitution charges.

Stories like this need to be given more publicity as the scum that dare prostitute children need to be made more aware of the consequences. And on the flip side of this these crimes should come with a mandatory life sentence.
