MySpace: Teenage Girl's Profiles Hacked By Predator

A fifteen year old girl, alone in her room, sees mysterious text appear across her computer screen. The messages are ominous. "Submit nude photos or your family will be harmed."

Reads like a cheesy teen horror flick but it was all too real.

A 33-year-old North Carolina man sentenced Friday to 110 years in prison used "tools of terror" to hack into the computers of Brevard County girls and extort nude pictures from them, an assistant U.S. attorney said.

Ivory Dickerson, a civil engineer, gained remote access to their computers, giving him the ability to type words onto their screens. He was arrested last December after girls at Rockledge High School told authorities their MySpace profiles had been hacked into and the person on the other end was demanding revealing and pornographic images.

He threatened to harm their family members, post nude pictures of them on the Web and, in one case, make a 17-year-old "the most well known girl at school" if they didn't do what he said, according to court records. [1]

Dickerson had hacked into the girls MySpace profiles.

One victim, who was 15 at the time of the incident, told U.S. District Court Judge Anne Conway during Friday's sentencing hearing that she felt as though the computer intruder was watching her every move.

"I was afraid to walk outside because I didn't know if it was the neighbor," the girl said.

MySpace was involved in another high profile story, that of Megan Meiers, a fragile thirteen-year-old Missouri girl who took her life over a cyberbully incident.[2]

No word yet on the steps the cyber-site MySpace has taken to ensure member's profiles are hacker proof.

This predator's method of hacking into the girl's own computers and typing messages onto their screens is flat out creepy. Dickerson was sentenced to over 100 years in prison. His skills would have been better served in international espionage instead of stalking and terrorizing girls online.

Prosecutors Accused Of Being Child Predators Commit Suicide

The Tale Of Two Alleged Predators Posing As Prosecutors

Last October Assistant Federal Prosecutor John Atkinson killed himself after he was caught in a child sex sting.

In today's Houston Chronicle it was reported that child porn was found in a former District Attorney in Texas's home. Fifty seven year-old Louis “Bill” Conradt Jr., caught up in an internet child sex solicitation sting, shot himself last year when the cops showed up at his door.

Atchison’s perverse background was exposed when he was arrested and then arraigned September 17th in U.S. District Court in Detroit. The irony was that Atchison was an assistant U.S. Attorney from the northern district court of Florida.

According to the police Atchison solicited an undercover officer posing as a mother for the opportunity to have “sex” with her five-year-old daughter.

Atchison was arrested at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport and charged with “enticement of a minor to engage in sexual activity.”

In deposition, detectives said Atchison suggested the mother tell her daughter that "you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents."

The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, " I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice."

The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, "Just gotta go slow and very easy. I've done it plenty," according to detectives. Click On Detroit

Conradt, former Kaufman County District Attorney, was caught in an internet sting put together by the NBC show Dateline and the group, Perverted Justice. Conradt was accused of chatting online in a sexual manner with underage kids. A house was set up where those chatting online with the undercover adults were told they could meet the child. When Conradt failed to show up the cops went to his house armed with a search warrant and a Dateline camera crew.

The state investigation into Conradt's death found evidence of the online graphic chats, according to a Texas Department of Public Safety report released to The Dallas Morning News. The chat logs covered topics such as sex, erections and masturbation, according to the investigation.

Also, three laptops, a cell phone and several computer disks found in the home "all contained pornographic material (and) some included child pornography," according to the state's investigation.

The Texas Department of Public Safety asked the state attorney general to allow it to withhold some of the report's contents because it "contains images the Department believes may constitute child pornography."

The attorney general's office granted the request, saying: "The submitted documents consist of photographs of unidentified males who generally appear to be juveniles.
Houston Chronicle

Atchison hanged himself in prison on October 5th. He wrapped a bedsheet around the showerhead of his cell. He was 54 years old. Conradt shot himself in his home. He was 57.

Because they chose suicide neither man had a trial nor conviction, left in the land of the "alleged." This raises a point, both these men were prosecutors. If they were, in fact, pedophiles, what about the cases they prosecuted? Did any those cases involve child sex and/or child pornography cases?

Some might claim that these men were "unjustly" accused and therefore felt killing themselves was their only way out.

Others might have the opinion that these two men, when caught, took the only way they knew out. The fate of child molesters in prison is not a pretty one.

These two cases highlight the fact that predators can be found anywhere in our society. If these two men had been convicted then we would have had known predators in charge of prosecuting their fellow child molesters and pornographers.

As for Achison and Conradt, they chose a different route. Why did they choose suicide instead of trusting the legal system, their own profession? Why didn't they feel they could trust the courts where a man is innocent until proven guilty?

Public Libraries: Safe Havens For Kiddie Porn Traders

Libraries, funded by local taxes, are a great place to find a book, look up reference materials or trade child porn online.

Law enforcement officials are being stymied by wily librarians intent upon protecting the library patron's right "to a place where people can exercise their rights in a free society without fear that it is going to be tracked."

Library computers have been used in Colorado and elsewhere as a distribution point for child pornography. Law enforcement officials believe that's partly because the users know the machines will be flushed clean by library officials as part of their security and privacy measures, making it impossible to track who is sending child pornography.

Rather than focus on the very real problem of child porn traders using the publicly funded computers to send their vile files of kiddie porn librarians have instead chosen to draw their line in the sand on the rights of "patrons."

"Our mission is to provide access to information, and we want people to feel comfortable to pursue intellectual interests whether they are popular or not..."

Librarians feel they shouldn't have to "monitor" patrons.

Since 2002, there have been 17 child-pornography-trading cases with roots in Denver Public Library branches. Three cases occurred in libraries in Jefferson County, one in Aurora, three at colleges and universities, one in a Denver Public Schools library and one at Denver Theological Seminary's library.

Librarians say they are also sickened by child pornography but are concerned about maintaining privacy and freedom.

A matter of priorities.

Child pornography buffs can count, not only on the ACLU, but the librarians?

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Seems like you just can't trust anybody these days.
From the NY Post:

A Manhattan psychologist who works with children was arrested yesterday after he was found with child porn, police said.

Dr. James Bonczek, 58, was arrested at his Stuyvesant Town apartment for possessing the lewd pictures, which depicted boys believed to be under 10 year old performing sex acts.

Cops were tipped off after maintenance workers who had been in Bonczek's apartment came upon the stash, said a source familiar with the investigation.

Bonczek operates a private practice where he helps children with emotional and behavioral problems at an office near his home.

Wonder if NY psychologist jokes acquire the same cachet as Catholic priests among the smart set?

UPDATE:
This second story is included for it's similarity.
Also from the New York Post:

A retired NYPD detective facing a federal child-porn rap has been declared a fugitive after skipping a scheduled court date, authorities said yesterday.

Michael Neibling, 65, was indicted last month for possession and distribution of child porn over the Internet and was due to appear Wednesday in Albany court, according to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

When he failed to show up, a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Neibling resigned from the NYPD in 1983 after more than 19 years on the job.
