Man charged in assault of woman lured to L.A. via Craigslist:

Man Arrested in Alleged Craigslist Sex Assault:

Even after all these years I’m still amazed at some of the convoluted lengths that sexual predators will go to in order to find their victims. I’m even more surprised when some of the more outlandish plots work. For example take 27-year-old Garry Dwayne Boga. Boga is a transient from Arkansas that was staying in the Los Angeles area. He allegedly lured a woman to L.A. by placing a craigslist ad saying that he was a music industry bigwig named Tavion who was looking for a personal assistant. His victim was from Illinois and came out to L.A. for the non-existent job. He picked up the woman and said he was running late and would conduct the interview in the car. Then he took the woman to an apartment in Glendale and told her that she needed to submit to a medical exam for the job and that he was also a medical professional. What are the odds?

Boga has been charged with sexual penetration by a foreign object and felony sexual battery by fraud among other charges. Police believe he may have other victims.

Anyone who has been victimized or has information about Boga may call Det. Ernesto Torres at (818) 548-3106. To remain anonymous, call Glendale Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-8477.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone use craigslist to find a job let alone one in the entertainment industry. That’s an industry well documented in the way it chews up and spits out most hopefuls and is rife with fraudsters and predators. Exactly the kind of people who use craigslist.

Did you know that predators attack through social media?

Edwin Arpi

Predators attack via social media:

There’s your no shit Sherlock headline of the year. This article is not about how sexual predators in general use social media to find their victims. I would think that readers of my site are already well aware of that danger. The article is really about one alleged predator in particular.

Early this past week police in Hamden, Connecticut arrested 21-year-old Edwin Arpi. Arpi is accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl that he met online. The article did not state what website was used but Connecticut is no stranger to online predators going back to the heyday of MySpace. The victim says that Arpi assaulted her, choked her and threatened to kill her all in his car.

If your child is online and using social media you have to educate yourself to be smarter than them. Know what sites they’re using. Ask about their online friends. Get their passwords. Check their internet history. Set ground rules and if they’re not followed don’t be afraid to cut them off. Your kids’ safety is more important than their social status among their friends. In other words be their parent and not their buddy.

Another MocoSpace sex assault in San Antonio

Aaron Herrera

Online Friendship Lands Man in Jail:

Man accused of sexually assaulting teen:

You can see my first post about MocoSpace here. For 7 years I’ve never posted a story about it and now not only am I posting 2 stories in 2 weeks but they both happened in the same city, San Antonio, Texas.

This time 22-year-old Aaron Herrera has been charged with having sex (child rape) with a 14-year-old girl that he mt on the mobile gaming social site. Police say that he had someone drive him to the girl’s house in Marion, Texas. The pair had sex on the way back to San Antonio. Then he kept the girl in San Antonio for three days where they repeatedly had sex. He then had someone else drive her back to Marion.

Herrera is using the ‘she said she was 19′ defense. Let me know how that works out for you. If you can’t tell the difference between a 14 and a 19-year-old than you have no business in the dating pool let alone the gene pool.

And where in the hell were this girl’s parents? She was gone for three whole days and was returned without so much anyone doing anything about it. According to the articles it was the girl herself who called police when she got home. A little false imprisonment maybe?

Texas man charged with assaulting mentally challenged girl that he met on MocoSpace

Jose Webster

Man accused of sexually assaulting teen:

S.A. man accused of molesting mentally-challenged teen he met online:

Castro’s ugly nephew over there is 52-year-old Jose Webster of San Antonio, Texas. He’s been charged with the alleged sexual assault of a mentally challenged 16-year-old girl that he met over MocoSpace. I know what you’re thinking. WTF is MocoSpace? That was my reaction to? I had obviously heard of it before since it was on my Google News alerts but I’ll be damned if I could find another post I did about it. It turns out that MocoSpace is a mobile gaming social network that has been around since 2005 and boasts 22 million users.

One of those users was Webster who police say convinced the girl to meet him at a bus station. It’s always a bus station with these jokers. Webster is said to have fondled the girl on several occasions and gave her money and stuff to keep her coming back. Eventually the girl moved in with Webster. He also allegedly told her that if she didn’t allow him to touch her she would have to leave.

Webster turned himself in after the girl was reported as missing. He is using the ‘I thought she was 18′ defense.

I’m not ready to lower the boom on MocoSpace just yet. In 7 years this is the first time I can remember something like this happening through their site. However when I go to their website I do get that MyYearbook vibe.

This should come as yet another warning to parents. Not only should you be monitoring your kids’ activities on their computers but their phones as well. If you think it’s too difficult because you don’t know how you better learn before your kid ends up in at a bus station in the hands of a predator.

Man turned out teen on backpage, kept her hooked on crack

Man accused of sexually assaulting, trafficking teen:

Man charged with sexual assault of a child:

In San Antonio police arrested 38-year-old Robert Parton for allegedly sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl. Some other reports have stated the girl’s age as 15. Police say that Parton not only supplied her with crack for ‘sexual favors’ but that he also turned her out on the Village Voice Media owned backpage.com.

The victim referred to Parton as her boyfriend of course. Parton would also take the money the girl made to buy more crack to give to the girl. That may be the most disgusting vicious cycle I’ve ever heard of.

Yet this is the type of person, and I use that term loosely, that backpage and VVM say has a first amendment right to post ads on their site in order to exploit underage girls.

Carlos Portugal

Two women claim man they met online attacked them at gunpoint in Indian River County woods:

In Indian River County, Florida police there have arrested 21-year-old Carlos Portugal for the alleged sexual assault of two women he met on the Village Voice Media owned backpage.com.

It’s unknown at this time why the women were meeting Portugal but police say he led them into the woods claiming that’s where his house was and then forced them to perform sex acts on him at gunpoint.

Backpage does have a personals section so it is possible that they met Portugal through there. However since it’s backpage one could be safe in assuming that these were working girls. However that shouldn’t let Portugal off the hook if they were.

Either way backpage is a dangerous place to meet people from and obviously they do nothing to protect their users whether they are prostitutes or not.

Ginger Sasquatch assaults Facebook teens

Kevin Yorgey

Facebook ‘Friend’ charged with assaulting 2 teens at park:

The dude with the haircut that he should return to 1974 is 42-year-old Kevin P. Yorgey of Lititz, Pennsylvania. Not surprisingly he is said to have used the name ‘Wolfman’ on his Facebook.

With that Facebook police say he met two sisters, 11 and 14, and got them to meet him at a park. At this more than creepy liaison it’s alleged that Dr. Zaius touched the girls in a sexual manner. The Missing Link was eventually busted after the girls’ parents discovered explicit text messages on one of their daughters’ phones.

I wonder if I’ll get defenders leaving comments that the 11-year-old lied about her age.

OKC man admits to conning people on craigslist to change his diaper

Oklahoma City man admits conning baby sitters by posing as autistic and wearing diapers:

While we may be celebrating the demise of the erotic services section worldwide let’s not forget that there are still dangerous predators out there on craigslist.

For example there is 21-year-old Mark Anthony Richardson Jr. of Oklahoma City. He conned people on craigslist into thinking that he was Autistic and needed constant diaper changing. Except Richardson didn’t have any kind of digestive problem, he was in it for his own sexual gratification.

The diminutive Richardson (4’9″) would respond to baby sitting ads on craigslist posing as the father of an autistic 19-year-old boy who still wore diapers and drank formula from a bottle. Now I’m not a medical expert and I don’t know a lot of people with Autism but I’ve never heard tell of this kind of behavior with people who are afflicted with it.

Anyway Richardson would get off from crapping himself and being changed and in one instance he grabbed the breast of an 18-year-old girl who was the daughter of one of his baby sitters.

Not surprisingly Richardson is on probation for arson charges. You know that some experts say that arsonists have severly screwed up sexual problems right?

Anyway being the baby that he is Richardson has his mommy defending him…

His mother said Friday he needs psychological help at a mental institution, not to be sent to a hard-core prison with murderers and rapists who could kill him. She would not disclose her name.

“He has some mental disabilities. He’s had them since he was born,” she said. “This is not your average, everyday, walking-the-street citizen. … He lives in a fantasy, not a reality.”

No, he’s a firebug pervert who was a short trip away from becoming a full blown rapist.

Seriously people. Don’t advertise your baby sitting services on craigslist. That’s like the Road Runner advertising himself in the Coyote Times.

Surprisingly, or not surprisingly if you’re me, Richardson was not the first craigslist pants crapper. That honor belongs to one Sean Kelly of Florida.

Thanks to April and Nicole for the tip.

Michael Anthony Abbott gets six years for being a kiddie toucher

Gardnerville man facing up to 20 years for touching teen:

Man gets six years in prison for fondling 13 year old girl:

26-year-old Michael Anthony Abbott of Gardnerville, Nevada is a real piece of work. He met a girl on MySpace who claimed she was 16. Abbott was allegedly taking cigarettes to the girl at her school and he pleaded guilty to inappropriately touching her. He even bought her cell phones so he could communicate with her in secret.

When her parents found out they told him that her true age was 13 at the time and to stay away from her. I don’t know about you but if this scumbag was touching my 13-year-old daughter the least violent thing I would do is call police. But no, they just warned him which didn’t work as Abbot still communicated with the girl even after he knew her true age.

For his obvious predatory tendencies he could have been sentenced up to 20 years but he only got six with 140+ days time served. He’ll also be on the sex offender registry for life. Which as we all know never works to keep predators from re-offending.

And for those of you who are going to cry ‘she said she was 16′ under Nevada law the age of consent is 16 unless the other person is over 21.

The Pastor and the Pedophile

Bryan Pastor Arrested, Accused of Luring Man into Sex:

The Reverend Randy Scott: More Details Emerge In Case Of Kinky Aggieland Pastor:

People ask me all the time why I want the casual encounters section of craigslist shut down too. This story is a good reason why.

Pastor George Randall Scott of Bryan, Texas has been arrested for forcing a man he met on craigslist to perform a sex act on him. Don’t feel bad for the ‘victim’ though.

According to police Scott posed as a 20-year-old looking for M4M sex. While corresponding with the victim Scott then said he was 16. Age of consent in Texas is 17. The ‘victim’ said that was no problem and to come on over.

When Scott got to the man’s house he said that he discovered the e-mails in his ‘step-son’s’ e-mail and that he would go to the police if the guy didn’t blow him.

In my opinion both men are sexual predators and there seems to be a lot of them in the casual encounters section.

Stay tuned next week for the next chance to win your own craigscrimelist t-shirt.
