MySpace used to catch AMW child rapist
Fugitive’s MySpace Friends React:
Police in Sioux Falls, South Dakota received a tip that alerted them to the MySpace of fugitive child rapist Brandon James. James was even featured on America’s Most Wanted as he was on the lam for three years.
James was living in Los Angeles under the name of Josh Anderson and using MySpace to possibly claim more victims.

After watching yesterday’s report on KELOLAND.com, the boy wrote back:
“OH MY GOD!!! When I first read your message, I thought that someone was just playing a trick on me. However, when I put that url into the address bar, I was horrified to see that this was indeed no joke. Worse yet, I saw that this man, who I believed to be my friend, was a rapist and a child molester. I never thought that I would know someone like that.”
The boy says James seemed nice, like a respectable, hard-working American, looking to meet new people. So, they became friends.
“He was courteous, and never made any passes at me. I, stupidly, assumed that he was just a normal guy looking for some friends. It saddens me to know that he is a criminal.”
This boy wonders whether he was James’ next target, and is thankful for the arrest.
“I thank you sincerely for informing me of the true nature of “Josh.” As much as I would like for him to be innocent, I am glad that he has been brought to justice at last.”
It might be a good thing authorities caught James when they did, because he told that 17-year-old boy he was planning on moving up north this summer.
