Fort Drum soldier pleads guilty
Soldier pleads guilty to arranging tryst with teen using MySpace:
I originally talked about Jason Benge here…
A Fort Drum soldier charged with soliciting teens for sex using the popular website MySpace.com plead guilty to all charges this morning in Jefferson County court.
27-year-old Jason Scott Benge of Flower Avenue East plead guilty to charges of Criminal Solicitation in the 3rd degree and Attempted Rape in the 3rd degree. Benge used the website MySpace.com to arrange a meeting with what he thought was a 15-year-old teen and her 16-year-old friend for purposes of engaging in sexual activity with him and his girlfriend. The teen he believed he was propositioning was actually Detective Steven C. Cote of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
Sentencing for Benge is scheduled for October 27th. He was released on his own recognizance.
His MySpace has since been deleted.
