More on Christopher Leasher
Man Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old Girl Online:
Yesterday I posted about Christopher Leasher, the 24-year-old Pennsylvania “musician” who sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl that he met through MySpace. The article I linked to yesterday didn’t really go into detail of the alleged assault. This article does.
According to this article it wasn’t a matter of some jackhole getting some from some jailbait. The scumbag allegedly coked her up to the point that he almost killed her and repeatedly raped her.
Let’s hear from said jackhole…
Investigators say Leasher told the teenager he was a rock star and admitted knowing she was just underage.
“I have recorded some music and people paid attention to it. It’s flattering for anyone to find me attractive or to want to have sex with me,” the defendant told police.
“When I’m on drugs I don’t like to be alone. It was nice to have someone to talk to. When I’m online, I’m in a fantasy world. I get off on the idea just knowing I could be with a girl,” he allegedly told detectives.
To make matters worse mommy and daddy posted his bond so the freak is out.
Again if you want to see his MySpace it’s here.

Ok, I’ve been reading a TON about this story because I knew Chris and his family personally.
Many articles are saying that according to the victim, Chris contacted her on SEVERAL occassions before hand to meet up to have sex. It was out in the open, she knew what he wanted. SHE DECIDED AFTER WEEKS OF NOT MEETING WITH HIM TO FINALLY DO IT. She knew what he wanted. And at no time did anyone hold a gun to her head and say, take these drugs and have sex with me. I feel like his life is ruined (and it should be because what he did was wrong) but lets place some apprioriate blame elsewhere. This girl knew what she was getting into… and where were the parents. Im 25 years old, i never had it as bad as this kids to now, with all the temptation out there… HOWEVER, when I was 15, my parents knew where i was every second of the day.
Its strange because recently I was forced to move back in with my mom and dad for a temp fix, and I am going out in my hometown and I see these girls that look like they are 21 years old that are not legal. We can not blame the children of this generation for what is happening. S”he can not be held at fault for what happened or is not old enough to make these kinds of decisions…” that leaves it up to the adults. I feel like the second she decided to take drugs with a stranger, she decided to play adult. Who lets these kids out dressed the way they are, out all hours of the nights, and doing drugs with strangers. Who doesn’t montior their internet use? As long as there are sickos out there, its the parents job to shield their children.
Like i said, being a family friend, it is troubling. To see a story like this from this angle is heartbreaking.

I had some sort of relationship with him for two months until April…
We met via Myspace. We connected instantly. I helped him out with all that seemed to be going wrong in his life, then he disappeared. Left me wondering what that connection ever was.
I can’t help but to feel sick to my stomache when I think about all this….

I can tell you’re a friend of his because you’re just as stupid as him. Learn some spelling and grammar then get back to me.

Yeah, I’ve noticed when these idiots try to defend the latest scumbag of the day, they usually exhibit similar characteristics:
- Extreme defensiveness
- Poor spelling/grammar
- Attempting to demonize (note the “E” @ the end, LOL) the victim in question
But hey, all in a day’s work, right? :-D

No one has heard HIS side of the story. He didnt give her any drugs, she had plenty of her own(which she not only was consuming but selling) and she probably got caught and needed to turn the attention on Chris. He’s one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met, so why don’t you all just wait for all the facts before you go labeling someone a “sexual preditor”.

He’s not sweet betty… he’s a selfish little prick that still has temper tantrums. Believe me… I’ve witnessed them.
And as a side note, he admits to having a boy crush on Justin Timberlake.

So many people have tried to help him and he could have cared less. He would laugh in there faces!!! I know because I knew him for a little bit! He just used people to get what he wanted and then cried i’m adopted!!! That poor girl! I don’t care what anyone says about that girl! She is just a child why should you blame her? That’s why girls are afraid to report that they got raped because people say oh look how they are dressed they asked for it! What happens if a girl goes into a bar and drinks and gets drunk and then she is raped or better yet they put drugs in her drink? I guess she asked for that?? That makes me sick to hear that! If you want to blame people WHAT ABOUT HIS PARENTS??? Guess they didn’t raise him right EITHER????? Oh boy wait till he goes to jail! What goes around comes around! Bubba is waiting for him!!!!!!

To all chris’s “friends”, (especially Derek), you couldn’t possibly know every side of him. Has he tried to drug and rape you, Derek? I kind of doubt it… I knew him, and everything that everyone else said is true. He also met me and used me and then disappeared. Oh, then he sent a message to my roommate on myspace asking to meet her and telling her how much he wanted to fuck her. Quality guy, there.

I am a friend of Chris. I am not an idiot, and I am successful in the world. I’ve always tried to help him even when he was having problems. Yes, sometimes he would take it for granted, but I will always be there for him. As for the girl, she lived near him and she was selling drugs and completely high before he picked her up, and no he did not share his coke with her. She didn’t want to get in trouble with her parents and begged him to pick her up until she would come down. Yes, Leasher may at times act like a slime ball but he is not a rapist. He is sometimes dumb, but not a criminal (other than using drugs with more than a fair share of people in this world abuse). It’s a shame that all of you pass judgment so easily with out knowing. As for the girls that claim they met him through myspace… (here is my insult) You must be pretty desperate to meet people through the internet, its common sense 101 to be wary of those people. Chris is a lonely kind hearted dreamer that is very sad and tends to forget about the people that care, but at the end of the day he really doesn’t. I’ve known him for a long time and have seen his ups and downs, and my fiancé has known him much longer. Why must you all DEMONIZE him with out knowing? Look at your own lives. I’m sure they haven’t always been perfect.

Nicole, if you’re an intelligent person (and you seem to be from your post) then you know that a 24-year-old man having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl is illegal. There’s no other way of looking at it.
Just because a guy is lonely doesn’t mean it’s ok to sleep with a teenager. I understand he was trying to help her out at first, which is ok, but he should have left it at that. There’s no excuses for what he did.

Thats where it gets sad, she has admitted they never even had sex, she was so high she wasn’t sure and just went with what her parents wanted her to do. I agree with you though that if he had slept with her (which most of you will think anyway) that it was wrong, even if she was lying about her age to begin with. Luckily he was not charge with rape or statatory rape (yes I know statatory is probably spelled wrong-i’m not a genius nor have word at the moment), but Rob thank you for your reasonable reply…
As for Poster Me. You are very mature, I hope you are proud of yourself.

I’m so sick of hearing how immaturity makes all this acceptible. So he’s this super sweet guy luring the girlies with his angsty rad rockblossom routine, calling them “teenyboppers,” taking advantage of their transparent compulsion to be edgy bad girls, preying on their confused and misguided (decieved by him) hope they’ll be mister Big Man’s girlfriend and True Love.
Listen boys and girls. When you’re 14, you can be fucked up. Adults will hopefully try to help you. But 16, 17, you better take matters into your own hands and get your shit together. Come 18, you better have a grip or your criminal behavior will earn you serious jail time. By 18, you can’t prey on the outrageous craziness of 14 year olds.
A 24 year old man, be he immature or artistic or confused or damaged or whatever, must go to jail if he has sex with a child too young to consent. That’s how we do it here. JAILbait, get it? I know you do.

I’ve known Chris for approximately 18 years. I don’t know what really happened. I’ve talked to him on many occasions since this went down and only know what he told me. There is more to the story than the press tells you. I am a very pessimistic person as I was in law enforcement for a long time. I have a view that most everyone is BS’ing you. Chris told me, he did not have sex with the girl (whose name I will not devulge) and evidently passed a DNA test. I am under the impression that she had brought the pills and that she was “pretty messed up”. The boy is going to do some time in the legal system and pay for this very stupid and unfortunate mistake for the rest of his life. I can say that none of us are Angels and probably should have been locked up for some of the stupid S–T we pulled. Chris is a good kid and yes he should start growing up a little (nah- A LOT) but do not comdemn him before you trully know him and/or the whole story and situation (NICOLE). I will be there as I always have to help Chris out just as if he were my own family. Do not blast his parents as they are genuinely great people and would do for anyone at anytime. They have hearts of gold and some of you could learn allot from them. I will be there for Chris as I have been in the past. We always let the internet go until this kind of crap happens to people we know. I just hope and pray that parents start to accept responsibility of all their children and be more aware of what they are doing before something like this puts not just a young female in a position but also those who use the internet and don’t have the common sense to realize not all is true on the web.

Mr. M - thank you for showing another side to this issue. Kids and young adults do make stupid mistakes all the time, and I personally believe we should be looking at each case individually, instead of labeling people as sex offenders because they are involved in a ’sex crime’.
We have made some progress in the area of sexual abuse and assault; before the 70’s, sexual intercourse without consent was not called rape. Maybe the pendulum is swinging the other way now.
When I was a teenager (back in the 70’s) the same stuff was going on (the hippies, free love, sex drugs and rock and roll) …this ’stuff’ has been going on since time began. That does not make all of it right, and people do need to be educated and reap the consequences of their bad choices, but we as a society need to educate our young much better than we are doing.
We need to tell them specifically what is ‘criminal’ - sometimes they do not have a thorough understanding before they get involved in something they cannot get out of.
I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, abused by a neighbor back in the 60’s. I was 6-7 years old. I have made many many mistakes and paid for those mistakes, some due to the impact of the abuse and its aftermath. I am now in a much better place. You are never the same after something like this happens in your life.
The internet is like this big black hole in some respects. You can get lost, and never find your way back, depending on where you go and who you meet. It allows the outside world into your home, and given a chance, will learn everything about you. Every keystroke can be recorded.
My heart goes out to both families - they have a long road ahead of them.

So Mr. M… sentenced by Bucks County Judge Jeffrey Finley to two to six years in prison for statutory sexual assault and providing drugs to a minor…. but you say… “he did not have sex with the girl and evidently passed a DNA test. I am under the impression that she had brought the pills “…so your saying he’s totally innocent ???

Seeuinoz - I believe MR. M said in his post above - ‘The boy is going to do some time in the legal system and pay for this very stupid and unfortunate mistake for the rest of his life.’
