Dairy State Degenerates

       Paul Constantinescu was born on October 7th, 1965, in Cleveland, Ohio, and presumably graduated high school in the area. He decided not to go to college and to instead pursue a music career. Formed in April 1983, the metal band "Saber" included Paul Constantinescu on bass, his brother Rick and Pat Hayes as the founding members, as well singer Eric Reeves, also known as "Buddy McCormack," and, eventually, drummer Pat Pollack. They played shows at a number of venues in the area, becoming prominent musicians in the local metal scene. In 1984, they recorded their demo tape, consisting of six songs (as well as their only single, "City of Flames"), at the Suma Recording studio in Painesville, Ohio. The band continued playing until early 1985 and was followed extensively by local metal magazine "The Iron Planet." When Reeves moved to Phoenix, Saber relocated to California and played until 1990. Unable to find a successful replacement for Reeves, ...

     Riverside County, California, has some of the best law enforcement in the country. Unfortunately, they also have the second-highest crime rate in the state, and, aside from being the first sting in which all of the predators were arrested in a parallel investigation by the Sheriff's Office and the sting in which the most men showed up (51 in three days), the Riverside investigation became notable because of this. Four registered sex offenders, at least a dozen men who chatted with multiple decoys, two twosomes, men charged with child porn possession, men who would go on to reoffend, numerous drug addicts, and even a man convicted of manslaughter were caught.      At first glance, Nicholas Cocos didn't seem like the type to fit into this sort of "hardened" group. Born on September 13th, 1980, he was 25 at the time of the sting but looked younger. Using the screen name "whittierwannado," a reference to the fact that he lived in Whittier, California, he c...

     Marvin Harrison Smith II stood before a Dalton County, Georgia, judge on November 7th, 2007. He was a restaurant manager from Tifton, Georgia, who had followed in his father's footsteps with his prior work as a Baptist minister. He was a college graduate, a married man, and a veteran of the U.S. Navy with no criminal history facing decades in prison. Seems sad, until you realize that the crime he was convicted of was among the worst examples of the exploitation and victimization of children ever seen by a TV show and an organizations that have dealt with hundreds of these cases, respectively.      For Smith, his trouble began on July 15th, 2006. Using the screen name "swgamaleyes," the 35-year-old claimed to be 23, and soon set his sights on someone he believed to be a 15-year-old named Erin. Over the course of 12 days, he worked his way from inappropriate chat to violent psychological abuse. He started by asking "Erin," really a decoy from Perverted J...

       Over the course of just eight hours, four men were busted soliciting minors for sex outside of Flint, Michigan in October 2020. All are still working their way through the court system, where they could and likely will face up to 20 years in prison. They have been indicted, entered pleas of not guilty, and had their trial dates set for this autumn; the cases are now in the discovery process. 1. Thomas Bates, 45, of Corunna, is a single father of a 14-year-old boy. He worked as a maitenance man for the government of Michigan and lost his wife to cancer in 2019.  2. Michael Lott, 32, of Elsie, was a corrections officer for the state of Michigan who came to watch a girl perform a sex act on herself after a vulgar chat about hardcore intercourse. 3. Shawn O'Brien, 18, of Westphalia, seemed to realize he was in trouble when he cried and told others not to do what he did. Because of the short age gap, he could likely plead down to a lesser charge. 4. Another ma...

      Camron Tavis Lynn was among the 10 men arrested in an online sex sting conducted in Wichita Falls, Texas, in 2017. Because he was 28 and had no criminal history, his guilty plea in 2019 earned him a merciful sentence of 10 years probation and a $1,000 fine with lifetime registration as a sex offender. He wasn't out for long, though. He decided it would be a good idea to watch pornography and a Midwestern State University computer to avoid probationary measures aimed at preventing him from viewing porn at home, and, in December 2020, he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison. He is set to be released in early 2025.        Blake Lee Pendley hooked up with a "15-year-old girl," actually a detective from the WFPD, on Craigslist and borrowed his grandmother's truck to drive to meet her, asking the arresting officer if he was a cop. Another 28-year-old, a boyfriend and a new father got a harsher sentence for his crime when he decided to wait until Janua...

       Harvey Weinstein looks absolutely miserable. 69 is not that old, especially when you are a wealthy person with access to some of the best medical care in the world, and already the fat Mr. Weinstein looks more frail: using a walker, appearing to demonstrate bruising indicative of a nutrition deficiency, and possessing the disposition of a zombie. While in prison, he was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2019 and COVID-19 in 2020. This may just be karma for being a notorious asshole. Paul Watson, the star of Animal Planet's Whale Wars , attempted to introduce himself to Weinstein decades ago at an event; Weinstein rudely dismissed him and resumed ogling other celebrities. While Mr. Weinstein was a bully toward men, he was a cowardly predator toward women. If his failing health is payback for the former, the prison time is justice for the latter.       When Weinstein was accused of rape by a dozen women in October 2017, his life fell apart. His w...

     Named after famed politician Horace Greeley, Greeley, Colorado, is north of the big cities like Denver and Aurora. Founded as a utopian colony named Union, it comes pretty close to perfect. With a temperate climate and a population of less than 100,000, this town is home for people mostly employed in education, banking, and medicine. In stark contrast to this serene face is the dark happening that occurred just weeks ago.       Eleven potential child molesters have been arrested in a sting in Greeley, Colorado. The arrests took place on June 25th and June 26th, 2021, to coincide with the Greeley Stampede event, when high numbers of people visit the town. According to the Greeley Police Department, the men used the internet to contact decoys they believed were young teen girls with the intent to engage in sex acts.      The men ranged in age from 25 to 58 and were named as Omar Faruk, Gaylan Forbes, Gustavo Garza, Brian Homola, Khary...

     I am amused when Republicans talk about what a terrible person Nancy Pelosi is because they disagree with her policies; maybe they just recognize that she has been the most powerful Democrat in Congress since 2007 and will hold that job until 2023 and that her efforts led the way to the party becoming more popular than the GOP at the national level. Maybe they're threatened that a woman could hold the third highest position in government after only the president and VP; FOX dedicated entire segments to debating if she had plastic surgery and whether she wore fashionable clothes, not her opinions on the minimum wage or Social Security solvency.      After you compare her to her immediate predecessor, Republican Dennis Hastert, I dare you to talk shit about Nancy Pelosi ever again. The fact is that most GOP voters don't know he exists. The party has been transformed into a cult of personality for Donald Trump, and most people who voted for him probably c...

     See that face? At first glance, it might appear to be the face of a student, more specifically one who takes the short bus to class every morning and should be considered lucky if he makes it through the day without needing a change of underwear. Actually, it's the face of a teacher, more specifically 37-year-old Anthony Michael Peace, who taught at Strawberry Crest High School in Hillsborough, Florida. And his luck just ran out.      That is the face of a suicidal man, taken on the night of May 19th, 2021. In the early morning hours of May 20th, he was dead. His death was, as Joaquin Phoenix might say, a comedy, not a tragedy. I'm happy to report that he got a well-needed shave, and decided to take the rest of his head off with it using the quick and convenient gun that is so easy to obtain in Florida. Maybe all the kids saved from Professor Boombalatty's death can begin to balance out the school shootings Florida's lax gun laws usher in. Let's be hon...

           In 2014, Perverted Justice conducted its final operation and went out with a bang. 13 men were arrested over the course of 6 months in Hartford, Alabama, and their fates are detailed below.       Joshua Randall McClendon was convicted in 2016 and sentenced to six years probation, which will end in 2022, and lifetime RSO status.       Jared Michael Manuel had a long criminal history that included a statutory rape, several burglaries, and prescription drug charges, but had never been convicted. His streak ended in 2015 when he received two years probation and lifetime RSO status for a graphic online chat with a decoy. He was later convicted on the drug charges, but his failure in a diversion program and failure to register as a sex offender led to 18 months for the drug charges and six and 15 years for the Perverted Justice charges, all concurrent. He will be eligible for release in 2030.       Jeong M...
