Mr. A Reports VI
Mr. A brings us another one of his jam-packed reports.
Local man charged with sexual assault:
BENNINGTON � A local man was ordered Monday to stay away from all girls ages 16 and under after he pleaded innocent to two counts of sexual assault.
Daniel V. Dassatti, 22, of Bennington was arraigned in Bennington District Court. He faces up to 40 years in jail for sexually assaulting a minor.
Police said they learned that Dassatti and the alleged victim, a 14-year-old girl, were having a sexual relationship after they stopped a car he was driving on April 2. The victim, a second 14-year-old girl and a 19-year-old male were passengers.
The 19-year-old, Richard Martin, had a blood alcohol content of .07 percent and admitted he was drinking with the two 14-year-olds, police said. The alleged victim had a blood alcohol content of .147 percent, according to police.
Dassatti’s grandparents allegedly told police they believed Dassatti was in a sexual relationship with the girl. Bennington Police Sgt. Camillo A. Grande found several condoms inside the girl’s purse, according to an affidavit.
The victim said she had been drinking at Dassatti’s house “until she blacked out,” according to police. She later said she had sexual contact with Dassatti in mid-March. She said after she met Dassatti, the two began to chat through the MySpace.com Web site.
According to police, the victim created a profile on the Web site that said she is 16 years old. She said she told Dassatti how old she was after the March incident and that “he became very quiet” afterward, according to court documents
Here is Danny’s MySpace and here is Ricky’s. How come you couldn’t get adult women guys?
Internet solicitation of a minor charged:
MOREHEAD CITY � A Carteret County man accused of soliciting sex from a minor via computer is the first person to face criminal charges as a result of a new effort by Morehead City Police Department to catch potential Internet child predators.
Christopher Robert Ipock, 28, of Canton Street in Newport, was arrested Thursday night by Morehead City police after he arrived at the site where he was expecting to meet a 15-year-old girl to commit a sex act, said Maj. Richard Abell.
Police allege that he made arrangements through an Internet chat room after two contacts that day with an officer posing as a minor.
�He agreed to meet at a specific location in Morehead City and talked about wanting to do a sexual act with the minor,� Abell said.
And before the meeting was agreed to, police confirmed that Ipock knew the age of the �girl� he was going to meet.
�The officer made clear to him through the chat room that he was talking to a 15-year-old girl,� Abell said.
Ipock�s alleged response was: �I won�t tell, if you won�t tell,� police said.
Ipock arrived at the selected location at the designated time and was arrested, police said. A search warrant was then obtained for his residence and police confiscated a computer and related items.
Ipock now faces a charge of soliciting a child by computer to commit an unlawful sex act. He remained in the Carteret County jail on Friday under a $20,000 bond.
For Ipock�s father, the news hit home and business.
Mike Ipock owns a new teen club in Morehead City and it once was a place where his son worked. He said that won�t be the case anymore.
�He won�t be affiliated with the club anymore,� Mike Ipock said.
Teen Zone opened a month ago at 1305 Arendell St., and Mike Ipock sees it as a safe, secure, and respectable place where teens ages 13 to 19 can go. He doesn�t want to see the charge against his son reflect on a club that he believes is needed in the community.
�I would hate to see this hurt something they need bad in Carteret County,� Mike Ipock said.
But the father in him wasn�t thinking business.
�It�s hard for anybody in the family to believe this. Its not in Chris� nature to do this,� Mike Ipock said.
Here is Chris’ MySpace. He had one commenter leaving him comments as recently as yesterday. I wonder if she still feels the same now.
Coos Bay man arrested on child sex charge:
A Coos Bay man who FBI agents contend chatted online with someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl was taken into custody April 24 by the FBI and members of the Laguna Beach Police Department in California.
According to an FBI press release, Avrum R. Fried, 58, appeared before a federal judge April 26 and was charged with intending to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
According to information contained within a federal criminal complaint filed in the U.S. district court in Los Angeles, Fried used his personal computer to correspond with a 13-year-old girl named �Amy,� who was actually, during different online chats, either a member of a citizens’ watchdog group, or Christina Lewis, an undercover special agent in the FBI’s sex crimes division.
Fried and Amy met through the Web site MySpace.com earlier this year. The Web site allows its members to create profiles of themselves, including photos, graphics and Web logs, or blogs. Through the site, members can invite friends and strangers to their sites to engage in online chats, and read their Internet diaries.
Authorities charge Fried and Amy engaged in numerous conversations via private chat rooms provided by MySpace.com. Through a series of online exchanges seized by authorities, police suspect Fried meant to entice the girl to engage in sexual acts with him.
Fried was arrested around 10 a.m. on Monday, April 24, in Laguna Beach after arranging to meet Amy at Heisler Park near a lawn bowling green. The two had prearranged the meeting online a few days before. In excerpts from log entries, the suspect told Amy he was flying into John Wayne Airport on April 20 in Santa Ana and would be spending several days visiting his father, who lives on Laguna Canyon Road.
But instead of meeting 13-year-old Amy, he was met by awaiting law enforcement officers.
At 9:30 a.m. on April 24, special Agent Neeki S. Star of the FBI sat on a park bench at Heisler Park, posing as the 13-year-old Amy, while a team of law enforcement officials provided surveillance nearby. Fried was arrested that morning after police said he approached Star, asked if she was Amy and tried to give her a hug.
�He was arrested down here when he showed up for the meet,� said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller of the Los Angeles bureau.
During a search that morning, a Santa Ana Police officer said he found a blue pill in the suspect’s jacket pocket and he was told by Fried it was half a Viagra.
According to Lewis’ affidavit, Sgt. Darin Lenyi, of the Laguna Beach Police Department, contacted the FBI on March 29 after a member of a citizens’ watchdog group, who specializes in finding people who prey on minors in cyberspace, said she believed she was in communication with an Oregon man who initiated online sexual discussions with an online persona he was told was a 13-year-old girl.
�U don’t care that im 13?� Amy asked in one of the first e-mail exchanges.
�Not if u don’t care that I’m 48,� the man replied.
The FBI got involved April 5, after it became apparent to them the suspect was interested in traveling across state lines to meet Amy in person.
Included in Lewis’ affidavit are nearly 20 pages of excerpts from online conversations beginning March 9 between Amy, who used the username �ima_beangirl2� and a man who used the online identity �Perv4Life69,� and later �El Deviato.� The latter name was used after MySpace.com officials shut down �Perv4Life69� after another MySpace.com member complained of being harassed.
The online identities �Perv4Life69� and �El Deviato� were tied to the same e-mail address which had a username of �dveightus,� a name the suspect explains in one log entry as a play on the word �deviate.� On Fried’s MySpace.com account, authorities said his listed occupation was �pederast.�
The FBI was able to gain access to the log entries after subpoenaing Yahoo! Inc. for subscriber information and archived log entries, and Charter Communications. Using the information attained from those companies, the FBI linked the suspect to a Coos Bay post office box used to open the MySpace.com account.
In the excerpts contained within the criminal complaint the suspect tells Amy the flavor of lip gloss he likes girls to wear and how older men can teach young girls how to make love. He explains to her that some cultures in Africa, Tahiti and Borneo have different perspectives on sex than Americans, including children whose first sexual encounters are with their parents.
�What’s natural in one society is evil in another,� dveightus wrote to Amy on March 28. �It’s all about social morals in that particular society.�
Fried was in court April 26 for a hearing in which he was denied bail. His preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday and he is scheduled to be arraigned on May 15.
Here is Frito Bandito’s MySpace. He has a song in there called “Masturbation Blues”. He’s going to wish he had those blues once he gets to prison.
Youth Referee Accused Of Sexual Misconduct:
LAKE STEVENS - A local youth wrestling referee has allegedly admitted to police that he gave teenage boys drugs in exchange for sex.
And investigators say there could be as many as 50 victims and witnesses from the past 20 years.
The case came to light when the Lake Stevens School District got a call about a wrestling official. A 16-year-old wrestler from Skagit County told his coach that the official had been giving him drugs in exchange for sex for the last two years.
Now, 39-year-old Eugene Brian Garvie is under arrest, accused of using his position as a wrestling official to prey on student athletes.
He’s been an official for 17 years, officiating matches for the USA Wrestling Club. The league is not connected with any school district, but draws many high school athletes in the off-season.
According to court documents, a 16-year-old wrestler from Lake Stevens told his principal that Garvie had given him alcohol and made sexual advances toward him. After talking with students and parents, the principal concluded this may have been going for 20 years.
“If Mr. Garvie had any contact with a student or family, now is the time to contact the Snohomish County Sheirff’s office,” said Arlene Hulten of the Lake Stevens School District.
The athlete from Skagit County told police that Garvie gave him cocaine, meth and other drugs in exchange for sex and posing nude.
The 16-year-old said he saw naked pictures of another teen on Garvie’s laptop.
Police arrested Garvie at his manufacturing business in Everett and confiscated his computer. According to police reports, he confessed that he met one of his victims at a wrestling tournament when the boy was just 10.
Garvie admitted to having at least 20 to 30 wrestlers at his house over the years — probably more — and giving many of them alcohol and drugs. Garvie is being held in the Snohomish County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
He was booked Thursday for investigation of sexual misconduct with a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, and providing a controlled substance to a minor.
Detectives say they are sure there are more victims, and they want to interview at least 50 other boys and young men.
Garvie told police that if one victim ever told anyone, Garvie would kill himself, and police say he tried to do just that.
Corrections officers have placed Garvie on a suicide watch.
Let him. Anyway, this crime wasn’t committed through MySpace but like every good pedo he has one.
Saline County Man Accused of Luring a Child Online:
Saline County - Officers in Saline County are dealing with an alleged child predator. Thirty-year-old Kinai Gikonyo was arrested and charged last Thursday with Internet stalking of a child. Since then, Gikonyo allegedly used an online My Space account to lure children. He also worked as a volunteer at a local child hospice.
Detectives searched Gikonyo’s home and recovered several computers among other pieces of evidence they believe will implicate him. Last Thursday, a Saline County officer posing as a 13-year-old girl on the My Space Web site set up a meeting at a gas station. They say the two-door white car belongs to Kinai Gikonyo. He was quickly arrested and booked at the Saline County Jail.
Officers say Gikonyo had a My Space account and used the highly-popular interactive site to lure young children.
(Sheriff Phil Mask, Saline County) “He got involved in a chat with them and indicated who he was and what was goin’ on and who he was looking for.”
The list of allegations goes on as officers report that Gikonyo worked as a volunteer at Kaleidoscope Kids, a hospice for children, a facility he worked at for at least five years. No other allegations of child abuse have appeared. However, officers are still investigating.
Here is Ginko Boloba’s MySpace. Those look like underage girls in his friends list but I could be wrong.
Affidavit details chat room trap:
First, he would assume the identity of an imaginary 17-year-old girl named Leah, employing the social networking Web site Myspace.com to transmit the illusion, according to a search warrant affidavit.
“I have a weird proposal for you,” the man wrote to his 15-year-old target in November, using the login name “sexyleahk9girl,” the affidavit said.
“My boyfriend wants you to have sex with him in front of me for $150 dollars.”
The girl believed Leah existed and provided her address over the Internet, according to the document.
Police on Monday arrested Clay Barrett Herdman, 27, who admitted his ploy to investigators, the affidavit said.
Herdman was charged with criminal solicitation of a minor with intent to commit aggravated sexual assault. His bond was set at $50,000.
In his admission to police, Herdman said he used a photograph of a young girl lifted from the Internet to round out his imaginary 17-year-old character, the affidavit said.
Such deception, made easy by the Internet’s anonymity, bears some resemblance to ongoing police operations in which investigators pose as minors to lure offenders who intend to solicit sex from children using the Internet.
It also reveals the real threat behind such stings, authorities said.
“These people are preying on our children, and they are very skillful at manipulating our children,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Larry Mathews, speaking in general terms. “And they’re very careful. They will groom a child as necessary. They will go to extraordinary lengths to seduce a child.”
Most of the conversations between “Leah” and the girl took place in a Yahoo chat room, according to the affidavit.
Herdman, posing as Leah, later promised the teenage girl even more money, $200, if she would have sex with Leah’s boyfriend, whom Herdman claimed was 22, the affidavit said.
The young girl agreed and gave Herdman her cell phone number and address.
The two then met in the laundry room of the girl’s apartment complex, where Herdman handed the girl $200, the affidavit said. She used the money to buy drugs and then became apprehensive about the pact, so she told Herdman to go away and come back when her mother was not home, the affidavit continued.
The next day, Herdman, in an online chat room, insisted the teenage girl provide him with the money, the drugs or sex, the affidavit said.
Soon after, the girl went to police.
Herdman was arrested after authorities issued a warrant to search his computer’s hard drive in his apartment.
According to the affidavit, Herdman told police the girl appeared to be about 16 or 17.
Here is Clay’s MySpace. Once he gets to jail he�s going to have plenty pf time to have sex in front of other people.
