Blog Blocker : The Blog

Sean Lennon of Ravena New York was arrested and charged with rape of a 14 year old girl.

Investigators said that the girl went willinging after the predator went through the grooming process to break down her initial resistance.

State Police Investigator Joe Donohue suggested that parents monitor the MySpace activity by moving the computer from their bedroom to a public spot where they can be watched.

A quick search turns up two profiles that fit the description. Disclaimer: The linked profiles may or may not be the scumbag mentioned in the article.

Austin Dunlap and Zach Adair from Maitland Florida were arrested yesterday for threatening two students via MySpace.

The two kids, who attended Orangewood Christian School, threatened beatings, murder, and the rape of one of the victims’ sisters.

Hopefully they’ll be given more than a Juvenile detention center slap on the wrist, but I doubt it…

In what may become a series on this blog, today the feature is on 19-year-old Brice Chase of New Hampshire.

Already on probation for a robbery in 2006, Brice thought it might be a good idea to show off his weapon collection on his MySpace profile (a handgun and two swords).  His profile also featured his illegal drug preferences.  A tipster notified the authorities and his probation officer (Officer Charles Wolfort) decided to pay him a little visit.

Upon arrival, they found the weapons and evidence of drug use.  Tada!  Parole violation!

A quick MySpace search turns up one profile that fits the description.  Disclaimer:  This may or may not be the Brice Chase featured in the article (but probably is).

… By a 25-year-old man by the name of Patrick Lee Kenney. Fortunately, the young girl’s mother was monitoring her MySpace activity and discovered graphic pictures of Patrick on her daughter’s computer. She then got police to pose as her daughter and arranged a meeting. Patrick Kenney showed up and was arrested on encouraging child sex abuse and attempted rape charges.

This story fortunately has a happy ending because mom was keeping an eye on what her daughter was doing on MySpace. All the legislation in the world can’t replace good old fashioned parenting.

I found out about this article on MyCrimeSpace but the original article is from the local newspaper in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where the crime took place.
