Dawson Raymond has a breaking-and-entering conviction as well.

What a couple of "outstanding" Canadian citizens, eh? What's that aboot?

A member of Red Deer Creep Catchers facing charges in relation an incident in Lacombe has pleaded not guilty.

Karl Young, 37, who is also known as Carl Murphy, was charged in December after Lacombe Police say he targeted another individual online using vigilante-type tactics and lured them into meeting in person without justification or facts.

Police say a video of the encounter was posted on the Red Deer Creep Catchers Facebook page making false allegations against the individual.

In Red Deer court on Wednesday, Young pleaded not guilty on counts of mischief and criminal harassment.

The case has been adjourned to May 26.

Vigilante pedophile hunters slammed by police

February 19, 2017 Newswire  
 
‘Fame hungry’ Canadian group of vigilante pedophile hunters is slammed for naming and shaming innocent men and interfering with police work

A group of vigilante pedophile hunters in Canada has been slammed for interfering with police work and labeling innocent citizens as sexual predators. 

Creep Catchers, which has a handful of chapters across the country, has its members pose as underage boys and girls online and arrange meetings with would-be predators. 

They film the encounters to share online and also post screenshots of the conversations leading up to the meetings to name and shame the adults involved. 

But police say the network of vigilantes, whose most prominent members have criminal records themselves, is doing more harm than good. 

They say the meetings can drive predators they are on the verge of arresting underground and that the vigilantes are only seeking to make money and find fame.

‘What they’re doing is absolutely not protecting children in any way,’ Insp. Dave Dubnyk of Alberta’s Integrated Child Exploitation unit told

In one case in Alberta, the group confronted a pedophile who police were preparing to arrest. He disappeared after their meeting and is accused of molesting a baby and a toddler afterwards.

‘There’s nothing good coming from this, nothing good at all, except for an emotional response that’s very acute and very short lived,’ Staff Sergeant Stephen Camp of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit told of the group.

Another allegation is that it wrongly targets people who haven’t committed any form of child abuse.

The parents of a 22-year-old who was profiled by the group for inviting a 15-year-old boy over to his house say the group made his life torturous.

He said the meeting was innocent and that the boy told him he needed support coming out as gay.

In messages beforehand, he said the boy could go to his house ‘as friends’ and that they mustn’t ‘fool around’ but he was shamed by the group.

In a video of the confrontation, he wept: ‘I’m not a creep. I’m not a molester. I’m nothing.’  The man’s father said he had been used as ‘cheap entertainment’.

Last year another man lashed out at the group after being shown in one of its videos. He said he believed the girl he was meeting was 18.  

In Canada it is not illegal for an adult to arrange to meet a child if they show no intent to kidnap or sexually abuse them.

Some of Creep Catcher’s most prolific members have criminal records of their own and one has been arrested for harassment since joining the anti-pedophile crusade.

Katelynn McKnight, 27, took her life in September last year after the group accused her of soliciting sex from a 14-year-old

Karl Young has 25 separate convictions for offenses in New Brunswick, reported.

The newspaper also claimed that Dawson Raymond, who describes himself as ‘the original creep catcher’, has a breaking and entering conviction. Raymond vehemently denies the allegation.

He earlier told Vice he’d created a ‘movement’ which others had hopped on to.  

Creep Catchers has been blamed for the suicide of a transgender woman who killed herself after being targeted by the group.

Katelynn McKnight, 27, took her life in September last year after the group accused her of soliciting sex from a 14-year-old.

The group was also condemned for filming a disabled man with cerebral palsy and sharing his identity online. The man said he’d been told by the ‘girl’ that she was in fact a 20-year-old escort. 

He arrived to their meeting in a mobility scooter where he questioned why he’d been entrapped. At the time Creep Catchers defended the snare, telling CTV news: ‘Mental disability or not, it needs to be out there.’   

‘Biker Against Child Abuse’ arrested for child porn

Here's the next exhibit on my indictment of Bikers Against Child Abuse:

‘Biker Against Child Abuse’ arrested for child porn

Posted: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 12:00 am | Updated: 12:35 pm, Mon Nov 22, 2010.

According to a statement from the Texas Attorney General’s Office, a former Houston-area member of Bikers Against Child Abuse has been arrested for possessing child pornography.

The arrest follows David Wayne Garvey’s indictment by a Chambers County grand jury. Garvey, 50, faces third-degree felony charges, which each carry a 2-10 year prison sentence.

The Office of the Attorney General’s Cyber Crimes Unit’s investigation began with a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. That information indicated that an AOL user attempted to e-mail child pornography to another AOL customer on Sept. 16, 2007.

The unit executed a search warrant at Garvey’s residence in Beach City on May 29. A forensic examination of the computer equipment seized during the search yielded 83 images of child pornography on Garvey’s computer, a CD and in e-mails.

While searching Garvey’s residence, investigators found a Bikers Against Child Abuse vest, which indicated the defendant was a member of the child abuse prevention group.

According to the organization’s website, BACA works to create safe environments for abused children and prevent further abuse. The Cyber Crimes Unit notified BACA, which then revoked Garvey’s membership.

Abbott has earned a national reputation for aggressively arresting and prosecuting child predators. Since 2003, the Cyber Crimes Unit and Fugitive Unit have arrested more than 1,000 predators.

Prosecutors also have obtained convictions against more than 90 men on child pornography charges.

Because bikers are such "fine, outstanding" citizens. Ahem.

It's an old article, 2011, but BAAK is behind BACA in terms of members getting caught committing crimes.

Millbury firefighter charged in thefts
Man also accused of extortion, fraud, and embezzlement


By Gary V. Murray
Telegram & Gazette Staff / January 28, 2011


WORCESTER — Bail was set at $1,000 cash for a Millbury call firefighter arrested yesterday on charges of stealing from the Fire Department and a charity he set up, extorting money from a local church, and workers’ compensation fraud.


Robert Giannette, 46, was arrested after what a prosecutor said was an exhaustive police investigation.


Giannette was arraigned in Central District Court on two counts of larceny of more than $250, embezzlement of more than $250 by an association member, extortion by false report of a crime, and workers’ compensation fraud.


Giannette posted $300 cash bail set at the police station after his arrest, but Judge Paul L. McGill increased the bail to $1,000 cash or $10,000 with surety, citing a history of defaults on Giannette’s one-page criminal record.


Giannette was taken into custody by court officers when he was unable to post the increased bail.


Giannette started a motorcycle club charity called Bikers Against Abusing Kids and used money donated to the group for personal expenses, police said. He told members of the charity that he was seeking nonprofit status, police said.


The charity is not a nonprofit organization, police said, asking that anyone who donated to it to contact them.


On Sept. 21, Giannette and several other members of the charity went to the home of a man who was being investigated for indecent assault and battery on a child, but who had not yet been charged, said Detective Kimberly Brothers. Armed with a sword in a sheath, Giannette allegedly knocked on the door and handed the man literature related to the charity’s activities.


The man called police after the visit, and police told Giannette not to interfere, according to the detective. The next day, Giannette went to the man’s place of employment and gave his employer more material from the charity, police said. The man was later fired from his job, Brothers said.


Police also said Giannette, who is receiving workers’ compensation while out on medical leave from the Fire Department, extorted money from a local church he did some painting for. Giannette told the church that if he was not paid money he was owed, he would go to the town and report what he said were code violations and a lack of proper permits at the church, police said.


A search of Giannette’s apartment Wednesday found several items that the Fire Department later said were stolen, including an ax and firefighting “turnout gear,’’ Brothers said.


Giannette’s court-appointed lawyer, Peter B. Clifford, said the Fire Department property police found in Giannette’s apartment was equipment he needed when called upon to fight fires.


Clifford, who asked that his client be released on the previously posted $300 cash bail, said the financial allegations against him may involve “as little as $1,800.’’


He also said Giannette had a legitimate workers’ compensation claim

Barbara Farris Backlash and SCAMMER ALERT

It seems Barbie is biting off more than she can chew, yet is sticking to her guns. I just posted the latest news story on Barbara Farris, which has sparked outrage in Florida. Barbie, true to form, has started her "Sex Offender Solutions" site:

hXXp://www.housingforoffenders.com/

Sex Offender Solutions

5036 Dr. Phillips Blvd Suite 255
Orlando, FL 32819
I'd like to point out that not only is the SOS name a knock on SOSEN (justlike AZU's now defunct "Operation SORoarful was), it is a jab at Randy Young, and her housing/ real estate scheme is patterned after Young's system.

I must warn any registrant/ sex offender seeking housing, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, use Barbara Farris's program. She not only asks some odd questions, she also demands a $45 application fee. It is called a SCAM. If you are on the registry, then she can look you up for FREE. 

An interesting comment was posted in yesterday's article, which was a cut and paste of a comment on another blog. I tracked down the original article. I wonder how many bridges she's burned over the years? At any rate, here is an interesting comment. The original article seems pro-Barbie, but that is not the focus, the comment section is:

Carol Bond, whom Portia Yates testified was her girlfriend, called the lounge several times and left an angry note on Portia Yates’ car.Bond told Farris when she returned from Ohio that the couple had reunited.Fantl said that at the same time, Farris learned she was pregnant and said Yates was the baby’s father.The defense attorney also described Farris as an amateur screenwriter who usually names her heroines “Barb.”He said she wrote one plot in which “Barb” foils a murder attempt.Fantl said Farris made up the story to destroy any chance that Yates might return to his wife.”Hell hath no fury,” Fantl told the jury.”She (Farris) wanted to marry him and she found out that they were getting back together.”Fantl reeled off a list of contradictions in Farris’s testimony and said the story was concocted to get rid of Yates and any possible claim he might have against the couple’s business assets.After the trial, Fantl was wrapped in a bear hug by Yates outside the jail.”I lost my job, my truck (it was repossessed) and my apartment,” Yates said.”I will probably have to leave town, (but) justice was done.”This past week on a local radio show, Bucket Head, Barbara claimed that her family has said that her money comes from the mafia.This is not a claim that her family makes out of the blue, read Barbara’s book and discover that it is her claim of such a connection.She claims that she worked for them for years.The story that she tells in the book is about being raped as a child and as a result a runaway that found herself as a drug and money runner for the mob.On the same show, she also claimed that she is currently filming and launching a reality show.This is a pattern, she also claimed to be doing a movie about Bruce Yates.Ask her for proof of a reality show.There are true victims in this world and they need the help of honest people, not ones that manipulate the hurt and pain of others for personal attention and gain.I hope you all begin to see this woman and this situation for what it really is.Barbara helps no one but herself.She only uses and abuses.3of3 posts.

I’m not surprised at all by your story.

Ms. Farris still owes my small company serious money for work done in conjunction with the supposed “kick off” of Bee Aware in June 2009. We poured heart and soul into the work that was done for her “organization” and were promised that she had “contacts” in place that would launch a national tour, and make this a “multi-million dollar enterprise.”

Right.

Immediately after our work was completed (print work, brochures, designs for merchandise, e-mailers, original music, and other intellectual property) Ms. Farris, under the guidance of her lesbian lover and a battery of attorneys, informed us that she was “shocked” by the cost and would not pay.

She continued, however, to use the materials we’d created, displaying them on her website, even advertising our merchandise designs as being for sale. In fact, the song used on the You Tube clip shown here is MINE – it was never paid for (and never completed, this being just a demo).

As for “protecting children,” Ms. Farris had also assembled a cast of young actors to portray the Bees in this supposed “national touring company.” Many of these actors were underage at the time – and Ms. Farris regularly hosted “after-rehearsal parties” for this cast at which alcohol and drugs were present.

Protecting children indeed.

Like you, I’ve come to believe she was never in this to “help kids” – everything I’ve seen her do is simply about promoting herself…

I'll let this sink in for a bit. Just think, both WENDY MURPHY AND JANE-VELEZ MITCHELL have defended this woman.

There is more on Barbie here, with documentation:

http://barbara-farris.blogspot.com/2011/05/criminal-barbara-j-farris-of-orlando.html

 There is so much info there but I'll just try to sum it up briefly.

Her criminal past includes grand theft larceny, (2nd degree) one exceeding $25000 Okaloosa County, Fl. and (3rd degree) one exceeding $10,000 Orange County, Fl. thefts.  Further, she has countless misdemeanors and a couple others that were originally felonies she pleaded down and admitted in court 'no contest' to the charges.

Farris has had 31 known addresses of residence over the past 20 years, created 19 corporations in the past 14 years alone.  All - ALL of those corporations report a 'loss' or she never reported the income at all.

JustBeeAware has had 4 corporation name changes in 7 years alone.  She has scammed companies and professionals to the tune of $100,000 during that time. Not once paying her bills.  Its no wonder she remains on the move.  Farris has done the same with most of the places she rents.  She'll pay first and last month, stay for about 4 months and skip out on the landlord.

Yes I have confirmation Barbara Jo Farris screwed over poor Jim Fowler with a fake development. The fraud statute has not run out on that scam. Nationally known? She sold less than 200 books.

1 conviction was grand theft auto. Waiting on the details for the other felony. She has passed numerous bad checks / restitution orders in Okaloosa & Orange County over the years. Most of those, she's left unpaid. 

 Wow. How does a person this messed up get any publicity? Hopefully she'll soon have publicity of a different kind-- JAIL TIME.

ADDENDUM

Someone did  a WhoIs Search on Barbie's new website. She doesn't cover her tracks too well.
