Man's life Over, Cops Decide He Watched Child Porn in First Class

I however do not share such an opinion and all the studies seems to all back up the fact that the risk of a stranger harming a child in a park is a very very tiny percent of all children who are harm in that manner.

It is far more likely that the child will be hit by lighting while in the park then taken by a stranger.

A parent need to worry far more about family and family friends and children care givers then strangers in the park.

A parent need to worry far more about family and family friends and children care givers then strangers in the park.

The other people in the park were right to be suspicious and concerned about you and the way you were interacting with children in the park. Kittens and puppies are common lures used by pedophiles and abductors to get children to accompany them.

A parent needs to worry full stop.. Shopping malls are full of people are they not? Lost in the crowd. Easy... very easy...

After all I was in that park not to as a child molster but as a person looking for homes for kittens and a short conversation would likely be all that was needed to show that fact.

So there was no excuse not just to walk over to me for anyone that had any concerns.

That's what happened to Adam Walsh, John Walsh's son. He suddenly vanished from a department store in a mall. All they ever found of the child was his head. Walsh has since devoted his life to fighting this sort of crime.

Three hundred millions people plus and we can about name every child that had gone missing in malls over a period of twenty years or so.

still such rare happening is no justification to do things like banning childless people from some public areas

You're so dumb you'd probably do the same thing all over again.

Those people acted appropriately and responsibly--you are too thick to understand that, or to ever admit you are wrong.

Go check out your child pornography collection.

You really are a creep.

Exposing Pedophiles, Website Goes Where FBI Can't

They help catch dangerous pedophiles even before the police do. But are websites like Evil-Unveiled.com legal?

KETV NewsWatch 7 first reported about the site and the volunteers who run it last week. Volunteers gather postings from pedophiliac websites in hopes of identifying dangerous people. It's proven successful in identifying and tracking Kevin Morrissey and Jonathan Johnson, for example.

Morrissey, of Oakland, Iowa, is charged with possessing child pornography in Washington state. Johnson was convicted of sexually assaulting three children in 2008.

FBI officials said Evil-Unveiled.com is perfectly legal and protected by free speech. But so are pedophiliac websites. As a result of those freedoms, the FBI can't necessarily do what EvilUnveiled.com does.

A woman who lives in Middle Tennessee wouldn't be able to shed light on some of the darkest corners of the digital world if it weren’t for freedoms that allow those dark corners to exist.

"There are not many people who can do this. There are not many people who can read through this stuff," said the woman, who runs Evil-Unveiled.com.

KETV NewsWatch 7 is concealing her identity and referring to her as "Veronica." She said her life has been threatened before.

Veronica's mission is to track people on pro-pedophile websites and forums.

Because pedophile activism is protected by the First Amendment, not even the FBI does what Veronica and her volunteers do.

Weysan Dun, special agent in charge of Omaha's division of the FBI, said the FBI would only investigate pro-pedophile websites if they were to field a specific allegation.

Dun sees Evil-Unveiled.com as a help to authorities at times.

"Anytime efforts are undertaken, which helps to illuminate the existence of criminal activity, certainly that can potentially benefit public safety. It can potentially benefit law enforcement," Dun said.

Law enforcement officers know the dangers of pedophilia. At the La Vista Police Department, for example, detectives such as Ben Iversen were successful in nabbing more than a dozen sexual predators online in the past four years.

"We basically create profiles of children that are underage and get online and get into chat rooms," Iversen said.

La Vista detectives do what the people of PervertedJustice.com do -- entice pedophiles in an attempt to catch them.

"It is pretty quick. It doesn't take very long," Iversen said.

The goal is to go after people who act on impulse, which differs from the people profiled on Evil-Unveiled.com. Those people are carefully cross-referenced and identified through public records, both on and offline.

"We never, ever want to ruin someone's life who's an innocent person," Veronica said.

Instead of just wishing he could live his pedophiliac fantasies, Jonathan Johnson actually acted out on them.

"We knew that we had to act now," Veronica said.

Johnson was exposed by Evil-Unveiled.com to police and the public in 2007. He was arrested and convicted in 2008 for sexually assaulting three children.

"It was a victory for us. We don't get paid. That's our paycheck," Veronica said.

Johnson endorses Evil-Unveiled.com and their efforts to catch dangerous pedophiles. In a nearly 40-minute long interview with KETV NewsWatch 7, Johnson talked about why other pedophiles need to get help before they end up like he did.

Hear from Johnson on Monday night at 10.

Child Predator Thankful Website ID'd Him
Jonathan Johnson Sentenced 20-40 Years
February 27, 2012

TECUMSEH, Neb. -- A man convicted of sexually assaulting three children said he's glad he was caught.

An Omaha police detective said had it not been for "web watchers," Johnson would never have been investigated. Johnson was exposed to the public and police in 2007 by a group of volunteers who now run a website called evil-unveiled.com.

Johnson spoke with KETV NewsWatch 7's Ryan Luby and photojournalist Dave Hynek last Tuesday at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution. Johnson was sentenced to prison for 20 to 40 years in 2008.

Johnson's story is the third part of an exclusive I-Team investigation.

"From the time I was about five years old, I just had this innate curiosity for sexuality," Johnson said.

He said he was abused at that age. The abuse, he said, fueled his sexual curiosity for young children -- a curiosity that persisted as a teen and as an adult.

He said he tried to hide his feelings as much as possible.

"You spend half of your energy in your life trying to cover your tracks, and trying to make sure nobody ever suspects anything," Johnson said.

In 2003, when Johnson said he was married with his own kids, he went online to look for help. He wanted to know how he could stop or at least control his sexual feelings.

Instead, he said he found pro-pedophile websites, the ones that cater to pedophile activists -- people who say pedophilia is OK.

"It's like its own little community that operates in itself, and ya know makes everybody feel accepted," Johnson said.

Johnson said he felt safe on those websites. Over time, he said started to share his own fantasies and beliefs, and then started to share stories about the "young friends" in his life. He used an anonymous screen name.

That's when evil-unveiled.com revealed that he was the person behind that screen name.

"It was like everything in the darkness got pushed right into the light," Johnson said.

The leader of evil-unveiled.com said the volunteers who run the site tracked Johnson for about nine months.

"We (also) started talking to law enforcement from the beginning because it was very obvious to us that he was actively molesting, that he had access to a lot of children, that a lot of parents trusted him," Veronica said.

Veronica is the alias KETV NewsWatch 7 gave to the website's leader to protect her identity. She spoke with the I-Team at her Nashville, Tenn. home.

She said her website's volunteers collected more than enough information on Johnson so police would arrest him. Police did in June 2008.

"It was a victory for us, we don't get paid, that's our paycheck," Veronica said.

She also said it served as a way to prevent sexual abuse of other children.

"I'm a survivor (of sexual abuse)," Veronica said of her own childhood decades ago. "It's been kind of a therapy for me to know that people like Jonathan Johnson are off the street. How many victims did he have? Just that one case is therapy for me. That's healing for me."

Johnson is not eligible for parole for at least another 10 years. Before then, he said he hopes the Nebraska Department of Corrections can find him the mental therapy he needs.

Even though Johnson said he would never re-offend, he said it'll take a lot of work to overcome his thoughts and feelings.

"Will I always struggle with those thoughts? I have to accept the reality that I always probably will," Johnson said.

He said he hopes other pedophiles get help before they actually act on their fantasies.

"If you're having a problem with it, no matter what, no matter if it's going to tear your marriage apart, no matter if it possibly could ruin this or that, nothing's more important than you getting help so you don't destroy somebody else's life," Johnson said.

Flushing pedophile receives 30 years
by Paula Neudorf, Associate Editor
Queens Chronicle

Flushing resident Felix Cartagena, 27, was sentenced on Saturday to 30 years in prison after being convicted of producing child pornography, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York announced the same day.

Cartagena pleaded guilty to one count of sexual exploitation of a child — sodomizing a 2-year-old boy — for the purpose of producing child pornography, and one count of distribution of child pornography, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

In addition to the 2-year-old, Cartagena abused at least seven other boys between the ages of 2 and 12, according to published reports and Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Of the eight children, two were his nephews, according to a letter from U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch to the trial’s judge, dated Dec. 9, 2011.

Cartagena was arrested on Sept. 2, 2010 by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. At the time, he admitted to downloading child pornography and to producing his own porn by “photographing and recording his own sexual assaults of children,” Lynch wrote in the letter.

Cartagena’s 30-year sentence is 20 years less than Lynch requested. “The defendant’s history supports the need for a maximum sentence of 50 years,” she wrote.

“He stands before this court having pleaded guilty to one count of child exploitation and one count of distribution of child pornography, but as discussed above, he also committed additional acts of sexual abuse against other victims,” she continued.

Lynch concluded the letter noting that “the likelihood that Cartagena will continue to sexually and physically abuse children should he ever be released from prison is not only possible but probable.”

In detailed descriptions of Cartagena’s crimes, Lynch said Cartagena had bound and gagged one of the victims, the 6-year-old son of a friend, before raping him. He met two of his other victims at a toy store.

Cartagena is being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. Nardoza declined to comment on why Cartagena had only been convicted of producing child pornography, despite his guilty plea in one instance of sexual exploitation, and the other crimes outlined by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

just like you--they deny the threat to children, talk about their civil rights, etc. And there are people tracking those who make statements like that.
