Durham, NC political sex scandal

Democratic official charged in sex case:

The story making the rounds here in North Carolina is about a possible rape, assault, and cover up by some bigwigs in the Durham County Democratic Party.

It’s been alleged that Joy Suzanne Johnson, former third vice chairwoman, and her husband, Joseph Scott Craig, locked a man in a cage and sexually assaulted another woman in their home.

The party’s first vice chairwoman, Diana Palmer, is accused of trying to dispose of evidence after the fact.

Prosecutors are alleging that this was part of some satanic ritual which is idiotic and makes them look like backwoods hicks. I’ve spent time in Durham and that is usually far from the case. This is BDSM gone horribly wrong.

And to show that I’m apolitical you know how you can tell this wasn’t a Republican sex scandal? It didn’t involve a public restroom.

Thanks to Mr. A for the tip.

MySpace weapons video nets 7

Seven Charged After MySpace Video Posted:

In St. Charles Parish, Louisiana seven people were arrested after a video with guns and threats of violence was posted to MySpace.

The seven were arrested on weapons and drug charges and conspiracy to commit murder.

Sheriff Greg Champagne put it best…

“I would say it’s pretty high level stupidity. Anyone else who has an assault weapons please get on MySpace and make a video for us and spray paint the name of the street location where you are. I would encourage that,” Champagne said.

Woman beaten after MySpace meeting

Woman beaten after meeting man on MySpace:

The victim met 22-year-old Derrionne Miller of Charlotte, NC over MySpace and struck up a friendship with him. After a while she agreed to meet him and attend a family reunion with him in the nearby town of Monroe. They met at a Monroe hotel and once she was in a room she was beaten and robbed by Miller and his cohort Jamar Houston.

Then after the robbery Miller and Houston would repeatedly call the victim telling her that if she wanted her stuff back she’d have to meet them again.

Police caught up with Miller and Houston and charged them with kidnapping, assault, and theft.

Thanks to my wife Jade for the tip.

More on Brooke Bennett

In court papers, Jacques accused of falsifying Web posts:

Yesterday when I posted about the discovery of Brooke Bennett’s body I wasn’t sure if her body was found on her uncle’s property or not. It turns out a fresh grave was discovered on a rural road just off of Michael Jacques’ property.

Now here’s the reason I didn’t want to post Brooke Bennet’s MySpace, it was in fact a fake. Police say that Jacques is the one who changed Brooke’s account to make reference to how she was supposedly leaving Vermont for Texas to meet someone. Jacques even told police about the MySpace in an attempt to throw them off the track.

By the time I post this (as I am writing it Thursday morning) Jacques may have already been charged with federal kidnapping. If also charged with federal murder Jacques could be looking at the death penalty. The feds may have jurisdiction since I believe tampering with someone’s MySpace like that on order to hide a crime may be a federal offense.

Now on to Brooke’s former stepfather Ray Gagnon. He’s been arrested for destroying evidence. That evidence turned out to be a laptop filled with child porn. Gagnon called his landlord back in Texas and asked him to destroy the computer. Gagnon also had a hand in altering Brooke’s MySpace after speaking with Jacques. Gagnon is also looking at federal charges but as of now those charges aren’t clear but I would assume they would also be for tampering with Brooke’s MySpace.

Brooke Bennett’s body found

Brooke Bennett Found Dead:

The body of missing 12-year-old Brooke Bennett was found earlier today. The article was unclear whether her body was found near her uncle’s property or not but only says that he body was found in Randolph, Vermont, the same town where her uncle lives.

If you’ll remember her uncle, Michael Jacques, is alleged to have been part of a child sex ring known as Breckenridge. Now details are emerging that Brooke was to be initiated into that ring.

In an affidavit released Wednesday, federal officials said a 14-year-old girl told authorities she helped Jacques take Brooke to his Randolph home on June 25 to be initiated into a child sex ring to which he belonged.

No word yet if her death is being treated as a homicide.

My thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Brooke Bennett’s friends and family.

Nude pics of 13-year-old girl posted to MySpace

Police caution 13yo girl over sex pictures on MySpace:

I hate doing these stories because it draws all the pervs out of their pervy woodwork.

Anyway, a 13-year-old girl from Australia took sexually explicit pictures of her self and sent them to her 17-year-old boyfriend. The 17-year-old is facing charges but that’s not the half of it.

Somehow anther 13-year-old girl came into possession of said explicit photos and posted them on MySpace.

The second 13-year-old has been cautioned by authorities.

Remember kids, no matter what your age is if you’re in possession of pictures of a person under 18 you are in possession of child porn.

YouTube baby launcher

Youtube video leads to teen arrest:

An unnamed and unidentified 16-year-old from Georgia was arrested after he posted a video to YouTube. Well it wasn’t for the video but what he did in it.

He was baby sitting an 8-month-old child. He placed the child on an air pillow then someone jumped on the pillow launching the baby in the air.

A teacher discovered the video and notified police.

The unnamed teen has forced me to resurrect everyone’s favorite award…

Brooke Bennett’s stepfather arrested

First, before I get into the post I want to make one thing clear to my readers and commenters.

Stop posting links to Brooke Bennett’s MySpace. I have a rule about posting the MySpaces of victims. I don’t. End of discussion.

Former Stepfather Implicated in Disappearance:
40-year-old Ray Gagnon of Texas was arrested during the same investigation that netted Brooke’s uncle Michael Jacques. Neither have been named as a suspect in Brooke’s disappearance.

Gagnon is accused of destroying evidence and sexually assaulting a minor last summer in Vermont.

Now here’s where it gets really scary. Michael Jacques belonged to a child sex ring called Breckenridge. Police aren’t saying if Gagnon was involved.

In my opinion these two investigations are now linked but that’s just a hunch. There’s just way too many coincidences.

If you can stomach the details the police affidavit against Jacques is here in PDF format. (Source)

YouTube Taserer pleads guilty

Father shown in YouTube Taser video pleads guilty:
A few months back there was a story about a father and son who stole a Taser from a Wisconsin police officer. Like every responsible citizen they realized the error of their ways and returned the Taser to the nice officer…just kidding. They actually recorded themselves Tasering each other and posted the video to YouTube.

The father, 42-year-old Paul J. Dupey, pleaded guilty to the charges against him and could serve as much as three years behind bars.

Search for Brooke Bennett focuses on uncle

Investigation into Brooke Bennett’s disappearance shifts to Randolph:

Police in Vermont have all but named Brooke Bennett’s uncle, Michael Jacques, as a suspect in Brooke’s disappearance. Police have searched his property and have ordered helicopter searches of the area. This was this afternoon and I have not heard any updates as it regards to the search.

Judge orders Jacques held on $250,000 bail; helicopter searches Jacques’ property:

As far as Jacques is concerned he’s no harmless guy who got put on the sex offender registry because he got caught with a 17-year-old. The most recent charge that Jacques has been jailed for sexually assaulting a relative over a 5 year period starting when she was 9.

In an affidavit released afterward, Vermont State Police Detective Sgt. William Jenkins said the girl told police that when she was 9 or 10, she was told — in a telephone call and in a note left under her pillow — that she had been selected for enrollment in a “program for sex” and that Jacques was to be her trainer.

“The first who does it lives and the second gets her throat cut,” she told police, according to the affidavit.

The victim stated he had other victims as well.

In 1993 Jacques landed on the sex offender registry for kidnapping and sexually assaulting a minor.

There’s just too many coincidences here in my opinion.

Brooke Bennett’s uncle arrested

Police Arrest Missing Girl’s Uncle:
The uncle of missing Vermont girl Brooke Bennett has been arrested.

42-year-old Michael Jacques was arrested on sexual assault charges that are not related to Brooke’s disappearance. Police uncovered the assault while investigating Brooke’s disappearance. Jacques is a registered sex offender stemming from a kidnapping and sexual assault from 1993.

To make matters worse Jacques and Brooke were seen on surveillance footage at the mini mart together the day she disappeared.

MISSING: Brooke Bennett

bbennett.jpgMySpace linked to Vermont girl’s disappearance:

An Amber Alert has been issued in the disappearance of 12-year-old Brooke Bennett of Vermont and they believe that MySpace has played a part in it.

Relatives dropped her off at a local mini market thinking she was going to meet a friend however security footage shows she walked off by herself.

Items of hers were found on the side of a highway.

After police investigated they found that she was communicating with somebody from MySpace who may have had something to do with her disappearance.

Her parents had previously cut her off from MySpace but police seem to think she made a new one at a different computer.

Hit and run suspect brags on MySpace

Teen’s MySpace page brags about hit-and-run:

17-year-old Jeff Perrette was arrested in the hit and run of Jason “Heath” Wigley. Wigley had to have surgery on his broken leg and claims Perrette said “I will come back for you.” I’m guessing he meant to finish what he started and not offer medical assistance.

Since you’re reading this here you can guess what tripped Perrette up. He bragged about hitting Wigley ion his MySpace of course.

“I hit him with my chrome and put him six foot under.”

Police received an anonymous tip about his MySpace which also showed his car in the condition it was before the accident.

A relative of Perrette claims he acted in self defense.

Self defense usually doesn’t consist of threats to “come back” for someone.
