Violent Sexual Predator Relased to OC Tomorrow!

Lawrence Brown

Sometimes I want to throw intelligent words out the window and just yell at the top of my lungs, "WHAT THE ____ ARE THEY THINKING!"

One thing I know is that it has been shown again and again and again that sexual predators can not be rehabilitated. They get out and re-offend and MANY times the crimes escalate. The absolute perfect example from very recently is this scumbag, John Gardner, who KILLED two young girls after being let out after raping several girls.

WHEN ARE WE GOING TO LEARN THAT ENDANGERING INNOCENT PEOPLE IS NOT OKAY? 

I am sickened. Here's the story:

SANTA ANA, Calif. (KABC) -- The Orange County District Attorney's (OCDA) Office released a statement Tuesday warning the community of the impending release of a convicted violent sex offender.

The suspect, Lawrence Joseph Brown, 52, was convicted of kidnapping and forcible sex on two Santa Ana girls, ages 7 and 8, in two separate assaults. Sentencing enhancements were added to the convictions due to the violent nature of the crimes.

Brown was released on parole in April. He was free for several days before he violated his parole. He had registered as a sex offender in Santa Ana but lived with a girlfriend in Tustin. Tustin Police were never notified. On May, 6, 2010, only 10 days after being released from prison, he was violated on his parole and sent back to state prison.

The OCDA has requested that Brown be classified as a Sexually Violent Predator so he would be civilly committed, according to the OCDA's office.

The OCDA's office says the state Department of Mental Health has not responded to the classification request in a timely manner.

Brown is scheduled to be released Wednesday from Chino State Prison. He's scheduled to be released into Orange County.

Rape outside the USA - Part One

I would never call a rape survivor "fortunate" but I can say that those of us who have endured the crime of rape  here in the States are much more fortunate than in many other parts of the world.

I am going to start a series about what its like for a victim of rape in other countries by linking to articles or stories, and also by interviewing a  young lady I know from a Muslin country.

In India the laws are humiliating, unjust and completely non-scientific.  They use "the finger test" which is exactly what you it sounds like (see here for full article and be prepared to be angered).

Thankfully these laws are coming up for review and many human rights organizations are making a loud noise to have them changed.  As in many places (including here) the victim is often blamed for the crime.  I don't think many women stand a chance of seeing justice in India unless these laws are revised.

"At the core of the finger-test is the widespread belief that a sexually liberated woman is "asking for it" and protecting her is not the state’s responsibility."

This one molests girls on the city bus.

When and where are our children safe?  These incidents happened in the daytime hours with other people around!

Severity of Crimes Escalate for Most Sexual Deviants

When is our judicial system going to recognize that most murderer/rapists started out committing lesser crimes which typically escalate over time? Time and time again we slap the wrists of someone who has committed a sexual assault, give them their freedom and allow them to create more victims. This precious little girl would be alive today if this guy would have not been allowed the freedom to abduct, rape and kill her:

Michelle Sigona wrote about it on her blog a few days ago, check here for details.

For a very shocking story that also illustrates this point, check here, but please be warned its very graphic and disturbing to read what these ten year old boys did to a two year old boy.

Coach Convicted

I apologize for sounding like a broken record but I won't stop saying this as long as it keeps happening:

PARENTS, DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN HANG OUT WITH ANY ADULT UNLESS YOU TRUST THAT PERSON 100% WITH YOUR CHILD'S LIFE AND WELL BEING.  

Coaches, teachers, clergy, doctors --- it doesn't matter.  If you don't know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person is safe, why risk your child being molested, or worse?  

I agree, its horrible to have to live with our child's safety a constant concern.  It should NOT be this way.  We should NOT have to live in fear.  But sadly, that's the way it has to be if we want to protect our kids.  

Predators choose occupations and situations that allow them to be NEAR CHILDREN and gain the trust of their parents.  Red flags should go off if your child's coach, teacher, etc. shows ANY interest in your child. 

To me, this sad case is the classic example.  When will parents "get it"? I guess I am just cynical or better educated on the topic but this would have made me very suspicious.  How often do we have to read these stories to have it sink in? 

"Baca would "groom" his victims first befriending their parents, dropping by their homes unannounced, giving the boys gifts – including sports cards — and ultimately showing them pornography."

From the OC Register:

Cameron Joseph Baca, 29, of San Clemente, was found guilty of nine counts of lewd acts with a minor, four counts of showing pornography to a minor, one count of attempted lewd act on a child under 14, and possession of child pornography.

He now faces a potential life term in state prison at his Sept. 17 sentencing by Judge David A. Thompson.

Baca met his victims — two 11-year-old boys and a 12-year-old boy — between January 2006 and December 2008 while coaching them on football, lacrosse and basketball teams in San Juan Capistrano, San Clemente and Dana Point.

Deputy District Attorney Heather Brown told the jury that Baca would "groom" his victims first befriending their parents, dropping by their homes unannounced, giving the boys gifts – including sports cards — and ultimately showing them pornography.

The parents of one boy, who had severed ties with Baca after becoming suspicious of the amount of time Baca was spending with their son, contacted law enforcement in December 2008 after the boy disclosed the alleged molestation, prosecutors said.

Subsequent investigation by the Orange County Sheriff's Department turned up other boys, prosecutors said.

Baca admitted in his testimony that he molested one victim, but denied sexual contact with the others.

But Brown argued that testimony was Baca's attempt to avoid convictions for molesting multiple victims, sentencing enhancements which call for a life sentence.

Brown also argued that Baca's collection of child pornography on his computer (more than 2,000 images and 500 videos) demonstrated a predilection for molesting young boys.

Teen Girl Raped at Pool, Left to Drown

At least that's how I read this story!  The two brothers that raped this girl should also be held responsible for leaving her unconscious in a pool.  She is lucky someone saw her and pulled her out in time.

Please young ladies - do not get so drunk or so high that you allow yourselves to be 100% vulnerable.  Do not go drinking or drugging alone with males, even if you think they are "friends".

Here is the full story.

This happened in Huntington Beach not far from where I work.  It happened in the MORNING in daylight.  I guess its a blessing in disguise that she doesn't even remember the sexual assault....ugh.

This statistic has to change.

Missing Girl Found - Perv Arrested

Dave Egert

Several things come to mind when I look at this guys picture, but the main one is: why would a 13 year old be attracted to this creepy looking old guy?  I don't know if she went with him willingly or not - or if he used his real photo when having sexual contact with her online.

Its very sad that the Internet has become a hunting grounds for pedophiles and perverts.

PARENTS!  Please keep an eye on what your children are doing online.  Never assume your child "would never do such a thing".  Invest $100 in some software that will allow you to see everything your child does online without them being able to know you are spying checking up on them.

Is this an invasion of privacy?  Well lets put it this way, when I suspected my son of using drugs, installed this software and found out that he was using heroin...I didn't give a shit about his privacy I wanted to save his LIFE.  I would do the same if I had a daughter.  I rather have her pissed off at me than to lose her to an online predator.

Here is the story that goes with the photo above. (source:  OC Register)

Here is the software I used, it was recommended by my local police department:

MORGAN HARRINGTON’S MURDER LINKED TO A SEXUAL ASSAULT

Michelle Sigona has a post about this on her site.  Check it out HERE.  I hope that they find this guy and put him away forever.  How many more girls must die?

Morgan

I am still very curious about Morgan's situation and how she met up with her murderer.  Its a very sad reminder that women are often not safe when we are alone.
