Neighbors: Sex offender lives in ‘playground for a pedophile’
September 3, 2009BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Jose Barajas moved into the gated community of Tevis Ranch two years ago because he thought it was a safe community.
“We moved out of another city to come in here,” said Barajas, who is married with two children.
Barajas and his neighbors were stunned to find out recently that a group home on the 15000 block of San Marco Place has at least one registered sex offender. The sex offender is identified on a Web site as Steve Francis Mello, who was convicted for lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14.
“There must be at least 25-30 kids on this street,” said Rimpi Rai, who lives two houses away from the group home. “That’s like a playground for a pedophile.”
The group home is a Adult Residential Facility, licensed under the California Department of Social Services. It is licensed to a company called Liberty in the West.
Such facilities provide 24-hour non-medical care for adults. Mario Alvarez, a spokesman for the facility, said four developmentally disabled adults currently live there. Alvarez said neighbors have nothing to fear from the clients.

Child predators become the prey

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — More online sexual predators who exploit children are in Charleston than any other part of the state, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Department’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
However, a new type of Internet protocol-plotting program makes it easier to track and catch those offenders.
An innovative computer program now allows the department to track and download IP addresses that have visited sites that display child pornography, or that have received an e-mail or a chat correspondence about juveniles.
The information gets plotted in Google Earth, and officers are able to click on boxes with individual IP addresses to see how many times a certain address has been flagged.
“You’d be surprised at the amount of cases we’ve seen,” said Detective Don Scurlock, a Nitro police officer who works with the ICAC unit.

Yuma man tried to meet minor girls for sex
September 3, 2009YUMA – A man who thought he had set up a date with a 14-year-old girl instead ended up meeting sheriff’s deputies from Yavapai County.
David Garner was taken into custody for allegedly trying to have sex with minor girls.
The YCSO Internet Predator Unit used the internet to portray a 14-year-old girl. They talked to 55-year-old David Gardner, a Yuma resident, for several weeks as the teenage girl.
Investigators say Gardner agreed to meet the girl for sex and also sent a picture of his genitals at some point.
YCSO initially made contact with the suspect online posing as 12-year-old and later introduced the 14-year-old who was the younger girl’s friend. Detectives say Gardner was interested in a threesome with both girls.
When he arrived at a city park where he had agreed to meet the 14-year-old, deputies were on scene and arrested Gardner. They searched his vehicle where they found a laptop computer. After further investigation, detectives discovered Gardner had rented a hotel room where he had sex toys and alcohol waiting. That had been planned during the chat.

Predators could be waiting for next status update
September 3, 2009By Holley Nees – bio | email
LUFKIN, TX (KTRE) – Many people keep friends and family updated on what they’re doing and where they’re at through social networking sites. However, as you type on a social networking site, you could be inviting criminals into your home.
“If I have your name, the year you graduated, and what school you went to, that’s all I need,” said Lufkin Police Department Detective Otis Almond. “I can find all kinds of different information just off of public information sites.”

Gerald Pride of Crookston, Minn., submitted a not guilty plea to the charge of Luring a Minor by Computer or other Electronic Means at Friday afternoon’s preliminary hearing. Pride is facing up to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines if found guilty.
Pride was arrested on July 3 in Devils Lake at Roosevelt Park when he came to meet what he thought was a 14-year- old girl who he had been talking to in a chat room.
Sheriff’s Deputy Jesse Smith was posing as the young girl in the chat room, and when he was brought to testify he pulled out over 150 pages of chat transcript ranging from February 9 to July 3. He estimated that there were around 85 days of correspondence between himself and Pride in the chat room.

Online predators more active in PA
September 3, 2009Online predators more active in Pa.
By: CHRISTOPHER RUVO
Bucks County Courier Times
State authorities believe child predators who troll the Internet for naive children they can lure into lurid online chats and sexual trysts have been more active in Pennsylvania this year than ever before.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General Office’s Child Predator Unit has arrested 21 accused online sexual predators since Memorial Day, a 50 percent increase over last summer when 14 alleged pedophiles were caught between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
So far this year, the predator unit’s investigations have led to the arrest of 57 men who were allegedly engaging what they believed were minors in salacious online relationships. The “children” were actually undercover agents.
