Billy Dan Carroll

For thirty long days the results of the search on Billy Dan Carroll's home and office were sealed, giving no hint to just what was found there. It all started when an 8 year old girl cam forward and told police that Carroll had sexually assaulted her. Now, information detailing some of what was discovered has been released, and it's looking as if the courage of one little girl to come forward has lead to a long line of victims.

From Carroll and his wife's home, investigators write they seized 97 VHS tapes. On these tapes, police say Carroll is seen sexually assaulting multiple children under the age of fourteen. In addition, the investigators say they found hidden cameras in the ceilings of the home and in one of the bathrooms. It was in this bathroom, police say, the assault of the original complaining witness took place.

Currently sitting in jail on six charges of sexual assault on a child, Carroll's bail is set at $3.2 million... let's hope he doesn't make it- this is the last person we need to have running free on the streets.

If Jack Deloy Edwards lives to be 110

If Jack Deloy Edwards can make it to 110, the now 70 year old pedophile just might be able to hang in there and serve his entire sentence of 40 years. I won't be holding my breath- but am at least happy to know that it's unlikely he'll ever walk on this side of the prison gate again.

Jack Deloy Edwards, 70, of the 7000 block of Fayetteville Road, pleaded guilty in a Moore County Court to two counts of statutory sexual offense, two counts of indecent liberties with a child, two counts of first degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and 99 counts each of second and third degree sexual exploitation of a minor, said Hoke County Assistant District Attorney Mike Hardin.

Edwards was arrested in September after the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office found several photos and digital video of child pornography in his home. The pictures showed two girls, ages 7 and 12, being molested in a Cameron-area home in July 2006, Hardin said.

The photos were discovered by a friend of Edwards who had been visiting him. After the discovery the friend informed police who then took the photos into evidence.

Edwards still faces a court date over crimes from 1994. In that case he's charged with statutory sexual offenses, indecent liberties with a minor and sexual activities with a minor.

Teach of the Year... never

Timothy Allen Rhodes isn't likely to be getting the Teacher of the Year Award from his now former employee Pleasant Plains Elementary, especially since he was charged Thursday with sex abuse of a minor, second-degree child abuse, second-degree assault and third-degree sex offense.

The school system's policy is to place employees facing criminal charges on administrative leave, but Herndon said he could not confirm Rhodes' employment status because it is a personnel matter.

According to Baltimore County police, the girl and her mother contacted police on April 11, after the girl told her mother she'd been abused and indicated that she wanted to change schools. Citing student privacy concerns, Herndon declined to say whether the girl attends Pleasant Plains Elementary.

Rhodes' wife watched the girl before and after school to help the victim's mother, who was going to school, police said.

Police say the abuse occurred between 20 to 30 times, and also included Rhodes showing the girl porn, in order to "instruct her on sexual acts he desired".

Lessons for Sunday School

Danny Parker is a 38 year old Sunday school teacher who lives with his folks in Florida. He happened to purchase adult pornographic magazines from around the area, which isn't illegal. However, what he decided to do with them was.

Police say they started to investigate Parker after someone found 90 photos of young girls ages 5 to 15, all with their faces cut out of the photos.

During a search, police found a homemade photo album that Parker created containing images of young girls, between the ages of 5 and 15 years old, pasted on top of naked, pornographic and sexually explicit pictures of women's bodies, a Polk County Sheriff's news release said.

Parker admitted to purchasing adult pornographic magazines from Hillsborough and Pasco counties and altering the images to reflect child porn, the news release said.

Detectives said Parker snapped the photos at the Lake Acres Baptist Church, where he volunteered, and at the Lake Wales Care Center, where he also volunteered as a youth camp photographer.

Parker was booking into the Polk County Jail on 90 counts of sexual performance by child and a count of possession of images of child pornography, the sheriff's office said.

Nothing like volunteering at a Sunday school and youth camp in order to get materials for your demented art projects.

New tool in the fight against child porn

I swear they come out with the neatest ways to reel in the pervs these days- honestly, who'd ever thought that we'd have a child porn tracking cat??? (Think cadaver dog, only with child porn and a cat).

A cat snooping around its new apartment found a hiding place where the previous resident hid a stash of child pornography, police said.

The woman who owns the cat noticed it could stick its head in a gap between the pantry and ceiling, then a friend reached into the gap and found DVDs containing child pornography, according to an arrest warrant.

Woman with incredy-cat took CP to police, who tracked down the perv it belonged to, Luis Jimenez a 24 year old freak who used to rent the apartment.

Someone toss that cat a bone... errr, um, maybe some catnip or a toy mouse... at least toss it something good!

I believe they are commonly referred to as parental controls...

But regardless of their tech name- I'm seriously suggesting that you either take away the computers- or remove the internet or CD/DVD players. At the very least- spend some of the taxpayers money on something worthwhile- like a nice program to restrict the access the non inmates have on the computer.

There is no acceptable reason for any of these predators to have child porn, let alone four of them.

Restrictions at the Special Commitment Center for sex predators on McNeil Island haven't been able to totally block pornography.

In the past two years, at least four of the residents have been charged with possessing illegal pornography and officials are investigating several others.

Primate Headlines

Today provided an interesting group of articles on sexual offenders, so I thought I'd quickly share them with you.

First up, 14 year old Colt Harris who forced a 4 year old to preform oral sex now wants his name off the sex offender registry. This lawyer presented witnesses that included his parents who voiced their concern that the little delinquent shouldn't have to publish his name and address.

Then we had the naked hiker who was arrested for, well for being naked while hiking. He was sentenced to 3 years as a result- turns out his arrest violated his parole. But, I'm pretty sure we haven't seen the last of 53 year old David Todd- since he still has a trial for rape charges from a separate arrest in Baltimore County.

And then we have Lewis M. Ingalls, 40. In a 'no big shocker' the high-risk sex offender admitted in court to getting child pornography from the internet. He'd been previously convicted of attempted first-degree sexual abuse in 1994 for sexually assaulting a girl in Allegany County, for which he was released in 1998. He was leveled in the group that is the 'highest risk of committing new offenses'. Why we even let these scum bags out to begin with is beyond me, but at least there's a shot that it'll be a while till we see him free again:

When he is sentenced March 17, Ingalls will face a mandatory minimum of 15 years and a maximum of 40 years in prison, according to U.S. Attorney Terrance P. Flynn.

Giggles the Clown

A normal person would hope that Giggles the Clown would have been given good reason to stop laughing, but thanks to a judge it seems that the the joke is on us... and Giggles will get barely more than a "prop" of a sentence.

Under a plea agreement from the Otero County District Attorney's Office, by pleading guilty to attempted Internet luring of a child, six felony charges against 30–year–old Antonio Lazcano were dropped and he will not have to register as a sex offender.

Lazcano will serve 15 months behind bars, but he's already spent 227 days in jail so he should be out in the next 8 months.

Plea agreements... the worst joke ever played on society. Of course, I know you're holding on to your seats wondering just what trick landed Giggles in court to begin with.

Lazcano was arrested back in May in Grand Junction after a mother found sexually explicit photo's of him in her underage daughter's email. That mother says she's extremely disappointed with Lazcano's sentence and can't believe the district attorney's office dropped the charges.

I know... I can't believe it either. But I bet Giggles is getting a hell of a kick out of it.

That's the pot calling the kettle black... now isn't it?

I really don't know what is worse- the very fact that the state wastes money 'treating' sex offenders who are clearly going to offend again anyway or that the head shrink in charge of 'treating' these wack jobs was himself a perv...

Joseph Belanger used to work at the state hospital's sex offender unit, employed merely to give society a false sense of hope that the pedophiles the state releases aren't really that big of a threat anymore. He used to work there. Currently, he's not working there. And the state is desperate to find someone else to fill this waste of tax payer dollars position.

And while I roll my eyes at this insanity, I have to point on the irony that Belanger only resigned his job cause he...

" admitted to subscribing to child pornography Web sites."

Yeah... that's the pot... and that's the kettle. Cross your fingers, and someone will one day declare them all 'rehabilitated' and good enough to run free in society again.

William Wray II

After years of playing catch and release with William Wray II , I'm crossing my fingers hoping that officials take note of his case, and use ti to gain some insight on the fact that it's not if a pedo freak will offend again.. it's when, and how many times.

The prosecutor also called attention to Wray's abuse of other children in the 1990s and his arrest in 2001 on a charge of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old boy.

Silver acknowledged that Wray has sexually abused numerous children but argued for leniency.

Other children (more than one) in the 90's. A boy in 2001. That's AT LEAST THREE... but likely more. Numerous sounds like more than three, doesn't it? But... we'll call it at least three. And yet, some half wit let him out into society after the 2001 case. Guess what he did?

William Wray II pleaded guilty to the charges Sept. 12. Prosecutors say he coerced two girls to engage in sexually explicit conduct and recorded the acts.

When law enforcement officers raided Wray's residence in March they found numerous images of child pornography, several computer drives and two videotapes of him committing sexual acts with minor children, including the two victims.

His computer was connected to a file-sharing system, and prosecutors said he was found to have distributed, received or possessed more than 600 images of child pornography that included sadistic or masochistic violence involving prepubescent minors.

Thankfully, he was sentenced to 50 years this time... so there's a good chance he might be released in a body bag rather than walking out on his own two feet. Still... sad that it took them this damn long to see that this perv deserved some serious time... although, it's hardly enough, and at least for his newest victims- a little late.

James Bova

James Bova is accused of possessing child porn. He is currently charged with 20 counts each of promoting a sexual performance by a child, and possessing a sexual performance by a child. But of course, this scum bag didn't stop with just having child porn... in fact it was his other deeds that lead up to the porn charges:

James Bova, 46, who was arrested back in September on charges he used a vibrating massager to molest his young daughter's pre-teen friends, had collected several videos and pictures of pre-pubescent girls forced into having sex, police allege.

He's currently in jail, on a $500,000 bond. Well, not really. In reality he's at Bellevue Hospital after he attempted to cut his wrists with a the pull-off cap of a bottle.

it wasn't clear if he was genuinely trying to kill himself or if he wanted to get transferred from Rikers Island and away from general population inmates,

I'm going to go with my gut and say this piece of trash was less interested in dying, and more interested in getting out of Rikers.

The pot was for pain... so what was the child porn for?

A former police officer, Harold Goodman won the election last year and was selected as mayor of St. Georege MO. And all would have been fine, until police searched his home for undisclosed reasons and turned up pot. The mayor has a plan though- he's claiming the pot is for medical reasons- to treat symptoms of his Crohn's Disease. And, I'm all for accepting that excuse. Not that it makes it right, it's still illegal. But at least it's some sort of excuse that might be half way valid.

I'm thinking he might not be as lucky with explaining away the latest charges against him though:

The mayor of the St. Louis suburb of St. George, already accused of possessing marijuana, is now facing an even more serious accusation: suspicion of possessing child pornography.
