Ohio man fights Facebook FALSE accusations of rape
Just because it is on the Internet, it must be true, right?
Facebook is already a cancer on society. It is almost like the Stanford Prison Experiment on a grand scale; it has brought out the worst humanity has to offer. These are getting quite commonplace. At some point, you have probably seen a post similar to this: "Please share this, _____ is a child molester/ rapist/ sex offender/ pedophile, etc., and he got away with it/ is wanted by the cops, etc." People buy it hook, line and sinker.
At least in this instance, the allegation was proven FALSE. Apparently the post was made by a jaded ex-lover. But in the meantime, the man was harassed by cops and was in fear for his life. He was even slammed by a pig cop who didn't even fact check his own NCIC database before attacking the man. But the registry is such a "much needed" tool, people claim. Utter BS!

TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
Chad Lesko says being threatened by a total stranger was his first clue something wasn't right. "I was walking at Highland Park yesterday, a guy comes up to me and said, ‘You shouldn't be around here, this is a kids' area, you're a rapist.' I'm like, ‘Excuse me, no I'm not.'"
On Monday, someone posting as Nicole McCarthy posted on Facebook Lesko's picture, saying, "He's wanted by Toledo Police for 4 counts of rape. He raped three little girls and his own son." It's a serious allegation which Lesko says isn't true. "My girlfriend told me it was on Facebook," he said. "I was like, ‘Okay, what's going on? Send me the link.' Then my friend told me about it, too, so I went to the link. I was like, ‘This is not true.'"
While Toledo Police say Lesko is not wanted on rape charges, that one post has been shared more than 20,000 times. "This is crazy, I'm scared to even walk down the street now because all of the drama that's been going on," he said. According to Lesko, Nicole McCarthy is a fake account set up by the mother of his son, and he's hoping to clear his name and put this in the past.
"It's getting aggravating because I'm trying to live my life, I'm not trying to do anything bad, I've changed my life around."

Viral Facebook Post Alleges Man Is a Wanted Rapist, But He's Not
Earlier this week, Toledo resident Chad Lesko was walking around a local park when an angry stranger approached the 23-year-old and told him he had to leave. “He just walks up to me and says, ‘You’re not allowed in this park because you’re a rapist,’” Lesko recalled yesterday over the phone. “I’m like, ‘No, I’m not!’”
What Lesko didn’t know was that a Facebook post accusing him of being a wanted child molester had gone viral. Except the allegations weren't true. Lesko was not wanted by the Toledo Police for anything.
A Juggalo who started attending church about eight months ago, Lesko went to a meeting there and someone called the authorities. "The church people had seen my picture on Facebook, so then the cops showed up and ran my name, but I had nothing come up," he told me. "When I was on the way home, I had another cop stop me and actually slam me to the ground because he thought I was wanted."
The Nicole McCarthy profile, a dummy page created by Lesko's ex-girlfriend and the mother of his son (who confessed to posting the slanderous accusation on a local radio show), came down on Wednesday, but only after the false accusation had more than 30,000 shares.
“It really pisses me off because I would never do that," Lesko said. "I was abused as a child and beaten as a child and I’m really against that. If you have to put your hands on a child, that’s the lowest way to go.”

Tim Caya of the Facebook "Missing" page is full of Caca
This is Tim Caya of the Facebook page "Missing," which features missing person cases. I'm not against that at all; in fact I support those efforts. What I am against, however, is a person who uses that cause as a platform to spread hate. A few days ago, this guy posted the following rant on his "Missing" page:
And as an added bonus, he has decided to go after Kaiylyn Hunt, the barely-18 gal who had a relationship with a gal just shy of 15:
It is well-established that the registry has gone too far. Except for idiots like Tim Caya, that is. "The Law is the Law." So was slavery, Eugenics, and Jim Crow. The law is not absolute, and it can be wrong at times. Even the federal Adam Walsh Act, the worst piece of legislation since the PATRIOT Act, recognizes a "Romeo and Juliet" statute. Only Florida's version is bullshit. Which allows for some high schooler to face 15 years and life on the registry. This idiot just does not get it.
Just like he doesn't get how retarded he looks shooting a bird at a concert just to be a dick.

No Peace For Predators suggests using sex offenders for organ harvesting
The douchbag trio of Britt(ney) P. Warden, Peter(less) Mason, and David "The Crybaby" Rowe make up the axis of evil that is No Peace For Predators. They are a waste of humanity in their own right, and have kept a rather low profile since David Rowe was embarrassed by his own local media last summer. So they've been hiding on their own site like the filthy cockroaches they are. That is a good thing, since they constantly fantasize about murder.
Just when you thought their fantasies can't be any more disturbing, now they are having orgasmic thoughts of harvesting organs of sex offenders. The depths of their depravity never cease to amaze me:
On a related topic, I'd love to hear an explanation as to why advocating for the restoration of the former offender is somehow "pouring salt on the wounds of victims." Somehow we've been led to believe the issues of post-conviction laws like residency laws and victim's rights are tied together. THEY ARE NOT tied together. Fuck David Troll and his band of misfits. People like them should be closely monitored, preferably in a therapeutic setting.

‘I want to rebuild my life’ says Weston activist cleared of protest camp rape
Simon Angear, Content Editor
Monday, May 13, 2013
9.56 AM
A POLITICAL activist who says his life has been ‘shattered’ by false rape claims is returning to Weston to begin a fight for new laws to protect people from malicious allegations.
"The worst thing was knowing that I would either be going to prison as an innocent man, or walking away with my life in ruins. "
Malcolm Blackman made national headlines two weeks ago when he went on trial at the Old Bailey accused of raping a woman at the Occupy London demonstration at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Jurors have since cleared the 46-year-old of any wrong-doing – and now Mr Blackman says he wants to return home ‘with his head up high’ and campaign to save others from having their lives ‘ruined’ in the same way.
Formal ‘not guilty’ verdicts were recorded on both charges against Mr Blackman on May 3, and now he faces the task of piecing together a life which has been on hold for more than a year.
Mr Blackman – the co-founder of activist movement Anonymous UK – told the Mercury: “The whole situation has been horrendous.
"We live in a make-believe world where people are innocent until proven guilty - but I had to prove my innocence.
"
“All year, people have been told I am a rapist. Life will never be the same again.
“There will always be that stigma attached to me. There will always be people who are wondering ‘I wonder if he just got away with it’.
“The worst thing was knowing that I would either be going to prison as an innocent man, or walking away with my life in ruins.
“Completely vindicated as I was, it’s not going to change the fact that my life is shattered.”
Key video evidence and witness testimonies put Mr Blackman elsewhere at the time the woman – who cannot be named – claimed she was attacked.
And he now wants the law to do more to protect the identity of people accused of rape until their guilt is established.
Mr Blackman said: “We live in a make-believe world where people are innocent until proven guilty - but I had to prove my innocence.
“I expected British justice to do its thing. The CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) should have looked at this and seen it had no legs. They said they have to be sympathetic to the victim – but now I am the victim.
“I am 100 per cent behind anonymity for alleged victims of rape, as real victims must not be deterred from coming forward.
“But what I am going to be stamping my feet about and campaigning for is the need for anonymity for both parties.
“The law needs to be reviewed as a matter of urgency. The accused gets his life torn apart. It has cost me my career, my home.
“I had to go and see everyone in my life that matters to me. I told them ‘the first thing I need to say is I didn’t do it – the second is, you’d better sit down’.
“It’s a very difficult thing to try to explain something which is so alien to you.
“Even my sisters, like everyone else, just didn’t know. They were forced to question their faith in me.
“I’ve not slept, I’ve not eaten. I’ve lived with untold pressure. I have lost a lot of faith in humanity. I now have only a very few friends. And I have an absolute fear of women – I don’t intend to date ever again.”
The first step will be for Mr Blackman to return home to the town where he has lived for more than 20 years, and is well known for his work in the security industry and for his street act as a magician.
He said: “What I really want to do is get back to Weston and rebuild my life. I want to be able to walk around with my head up high. I want people to know the truth.
“I consider myself a decent citizen of Weston, and an asset to the town. I love it as home.
“I want to sit on the beach and watch the sun go down. Little things like that mean a lot now.
“But I will have to take it one day at a time because there have been no plans for me. How can you make plans when your life is in limbo?”

Apparently being a racist prick is okay so long as you target people on the registry
Apparently it is okay to be racist if you are targeting sex offenders these days. This is nothing new. A few years ago the KKK were recruiting members using sex offender flyers. Absolute Zero United leader Stitches77 was already featured on this site for her membership on a racist skinhead forum.
So it is no surprise the message boards are flooded with praise for a white supremacist who killed a man on the list. Consider this-- I find it hard to believe that these two men, who met in prison, didn't know each other's backgrounds. I am willing to bet there is more to the story.
http://news.yahoo.com/supremacist-gets-26-life-killing-molester-212307100.html
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A Northern California white supremacist convicted of killing a child molester has been sentenced to 26 years to life in prison, while his wife — convicted of being an accessory — will be released from jail in about two months, The Sacramento Bee reported (http://bit.ly/17D3Y4l ) Saturday.
Charles Francis Gaskins, 48, was sentenced Friday after pleading no contest in March for the killing of Neil Hayes in 2009. A probation report said Gaskins was a member of a supremacist group that required its members to attack anyone with a history of child molestation.
Gaskins and his wife — Sandra Sheaves — was living in a home she owned in Carmichael, a community outside of Sacramento, when they allowed the 66-year-old Hayes to move in. Gaskins had met Hayes while they were both serving time in prison, The Bee said.
When Sheaves discovered on the Megan's Law website that Hayes was a registered sex offender, she told Gaskins.
Gaskins and Sheaves confronted Hayes in the garage of the home, with Gaskins killing him by repeatedly hitting him in the head with a large rock, prosecutors said.
Hayes' body was later found dumped along the side of a rural road about 35 miles away in Placerville.
As part of his no-contest plea, Gaskins insisted authorities go easy on Sheaves, who also was charged with Hayes' murder.
Prosecutors agreed, allowing her to plead no contest to accessory to murder. Sheaves, 43, was sentenced to eight years in prison.
"In a way, you almost instigated this, by showing the information from Megan's Law to Mr. Gaskins," Sacramento Superior Court Judge Sharon Lueras said in sentencing Sheaves.
With time served and other factors, Sheaves is expected to be released in 66 days, according to her attorney, James Warden.
Then there is the comment section. How can legislators and courts read this and deny the public registry spurs violence? I also screenshot a few comments from level headed people but they were drowned out by the frothy, foam-at-the-mouth witch hunters. It is time we abolish the public registry.

Sara Ylen's pathological lying finally catches up with her
Who is Sara Ylen, you ask? She is a fairly well known rape "victim." So why did I use quotation marks around the term "victim" just now? Because her entire rape claim is false. And in an attempt to get more attention, she filed a false rape claim. And another. And now, she finally got arrested for filing a false felony and tampering with evidence. She could get up to 14 years in prison. She should serve at least the same amount as the man she falsely accused.
Sara Ylen claimed she was raped by a man in a Meijer parking light in broad daylight then picked her victim at random off of the public sex offender registry (making her relevant for this blog). The man she accused was convicted after less than one hour of jury deliberation, despite absolutely no evidence other than Sara Ylen's testimony, and in 2003 the man was sentenced to the maximum penalty, 15-35 years.
So while a man sat in prison for years, the victim of a false accusation, Ylen got a lot of attention. Her false rape case was featured on the Oxygen TV series "Captured." She spoke at rape awareness events like "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes." She even claimed she was battling cancer as a result of HPV she supposedly received from the rape that never occurred.
She needs professional help. She has made multiple accusations over the years so I suggest civil commitment.

Sara Ylen taken into custody
In connection to assault report
May 2, 2013 | 7 Comments
A 38-year-old Lexington woman was taken into custody Thursday on charges of tampering with evidence and reporting a false felony in connection with a sexual assault she reported to police Sept. 18. She could be arraigned as early as Friday.
Sara Ylen was arrested Thursday in Lexington and transported to the St. Clair County jail, Maria Miller, Wayne County assistant prosecuting attorney, said in an email.
A report of a false felony is punishable by up to four years, while tampering with evidence is punishable by up to 10 years, Miller said.
Officials said Ylen reported the attack while in St. Clair County, but said it happened in Sanilac County.
Sanilac County Sheriff Garry Biniecki said Ylen alleged she had injuries related to the rape and was showing signs of bruising. But officers were able to determine the injuries were makeup, Biniecki said.
The cases ended up being handled by Wayne County prosecutors after St. Clair County Prosecutor Mike Wendling asked the state attorney general’s office to reassign the case due to his office’s relationship with Ylen in the James Grissom case.
Grissom was prosecuted and convicted of sexually assaulting Ylen in 2003. She said the attack happened in the parking lot of the Fort Gratiot Meijer.
Following the conviction, investigators in Michigan, California and Colorado determined Ylen had reported she had been sexually assaulted in other instances but could not substantiate those crimes.
Charges against Grissom were dropped after the Michigan Supreme Court granted Grissom a new trial after learning of the unsubstantiated claims.
Wendling requested the dismissal instead of a new trial, citing the length of time since the alleged incident and new evidence that had been discovered.
Grissom was released from custody Nov. 19, after almost a decade behind bars.
Separately, Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Brian Ferguson is conducting a fraud investigation involving Ylen.
Ferguson said the case has been handed over to the Sanilac County Prosecutor’s Office.
Lucy Higgins, administrative assistant for Sanilac County Prosecutor James Young, said the fraud case is still in the process of review.
Details about that case have not been released.
The Times Herald normally does not identify victims of sexual assault. Ylen was identified when she asked the paper to tell her story.

Wannabe vigilante gets balls blown off
Look, I don't support kids being abused. But if you think your kid is being abused, then go to the police with it. Don't try to play vigilante, because you run the risk of something like this.

Man has heart attack after being shot in groin
Niece's boyfriend, 2nd suspect arrested

Published : Tuesday, 30 Apr 2013, 3:34 PM EDT
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- A West Haven man is in critical condition after being shot in the groin while confronting a man who allegedly assaulted his niece, police said.
The incident happened around 1 a.m. Monday, on Peck Street.
Police said 52-year-old Mickey Tillery, of West Haven, was shot in the groin after he confronted the man about a domestic dispute with his niece.
According to police, the victim of the domestic dispute had called her mother, telling her she'd been assaulted by her boyfriend, 30-year-old Jermaine Reddick.
The victim's mother and her uncle, Tillery, then drove there from West Haven. Reddick ended up shooting Tillery before fleeing with a friend in a grey Ford Escort station wagon.
The vehicle was spotted and stopped at Church and Chapel streets. Reddick, who was the passenger, was taken into custody. His gun, a 9mm Springfield Armory XD pistol was in his possession and retrieved, police said.
Reddick was wanted for a parole violation and was being sought by State Police.
Tillery was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital, where he suffered a heart attack. He remains in critical, but stable condition.
Reddick was charged with first-degree assault, criminal possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm, first-degree reckless endangerment, carrying a weapon in a motor vehicle, third-degree domestic assault, risk of injury to a minor, and criminal use of a firearm.
His accomplice, 21-year-old Akeem Whitely, of Cedar Hill Avenue, in New Haven, was charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree assault, reckless endangerment, hindering prosecution, and weapon in a motor vehicle.
