Counter Pedophilia Investigate Unit

Forget for a brief moment what he did to a little girl, Jose Luis Ledezma believes he’s been terribly wronged by Orange County’s criminal justice system.

Yes, Ledezma freely admitted that in August 2008 he raped, sodomized and got forced oral copulation from a 6-year-old girl when he was 20 years old.

But he thinks that he should have been allowed to plead guilty and then have some time–a few weeks or months?–to contemplate the consequences and then change his mind. (more…)

CALGARY - It’s impossible to imagine a more helpless victim, or a more sickening crime.

A teenage quadriplegic, brain-injured and confined to a wheelchair, repeatedly molested by his own perverted caregiver.

The disgusting deed was caught on surveillance video, and police in two countries are now trying to catch the creep convicted of the crime – a former Calgarian believed to be hiding in Canada.

“He’s wanted for several counts of sexual misconduct with a minor,” said Deputy Jason Ogan of the Pima County, Arizona Sheriff’s Department.

George Ross Wilcox vanished before a Pima County Superior Court could sentence him for the crime after he was found guilty of four counts of sexual conduct with a minor under 15.

It was June 9, 2009, when Wilcox fled Arizona and a seemingly certain jail sentence after the court found him guilty – in part based on the video which documented the pedophile attacks on the child.

So keen are police to catch and jail 53-year-old Wilcox, who was born and raised in Calgary, that the case was given top billing on America’s Most Wanted, a website and TV show dedicated to catching fugitive criminals.

“Before Wilcox was sentenced, he took off. He is a Canadian citizen and police believe he may have fled the states – hiding out in Calgary or Vancouver, Canada,” reads the Most Wanted description.

From a family with nine brothers and sisters, Wilcox still has strong family connections to Calgary, including his mother, father and many of his siblings. (more…)

A Deltona man who routinely invited teenage girls into his house for marijuana and alcohol was behind bars on child molestation charges Wednesday after sheriff’s investigators said one girl collapsed drunk on a sidewalk near his home and another described enduring sexual abuse in his bedroom.

Deputies charged 45-year-old Mauro Angel Hanco — who they said eyed teenage girls as they walked past his home on Trade Street, near two Deltona schools — with lewd and lascivious battery and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.

And investigators urged other victims in the neighborhood, if any, to come forward.

The investigation into Hanco began last week after a 15-year-old girl stumbled out of his home, drunk on vodka, and passed out on a sidewalk on Howland Boulevard, sheriff’s spokesman Gary Davidson said. Deputies said they found the girl so incoherent she could only give them her name.

She was taken by ambulance to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial to have her stomach pumped. (more…)

A legendary high school basketball coach from New York avoided jail time yesterday when he pleaded guilty to statutory rape of a child and disseminating pornography in Boston.

Robert Oliva will instead serve five years of probation for raping a 14-year-old boy during a trip to Boston 35 years ago to see the Red Sox take on the Yankees.

“I now realize I lost my childhood to Bob Oliva,” said the victim in his impact statement. “I was his sex toy or his sex trophy.”

Oliva took the boy to Boston in 1976 where they saw the Sox game and stayed at the Sheraton Hotel, prosecutors said. That’s where Oliva assaulted the boy and showed him pornographic movies.

Núñez: “Curiosity and talent should be used for the benefit of the others and not for damaging the others”

 Rafael Núñez, is a young man like many others, involved in the spark of curiosity, he entered the magical world of Internet as someone who enters the mysterious hole of Alice in Wonderland and when he dropped, he discovered there was an enchanting and parallel universe, that most of the time we don’t know it exists nor we can decipher it.

  With actually just 30 years, Núñez found himself at the crossroads: since he was fifteen he surfed the Web and since very early, because of the actions he did and due to a great curiosity that enveloped him, he got in touch with important characters that had access to privileged pages that later made him to form part of one of the most important groups of hackers in the world.  All of this took him to do things that at first weren’t on the right track, but which later would trigger very interesting projects and very well approached, that would watch for the search of the social welfare.

A children’s charity says a huge shortfall in counselling is leaving thousands of sexually abused young people struggling to recover.The NSPCC says many services are so overstretched that they are being forced to close their books.

It found fewer than one support programme per 10,000 children in England, Northern Ireland and Scotland.

MP George Galloway has revealed he was abused as a child, as he backed new checks for adults working in schools.

The NSPCC said there were up to 88,500 sex abuse victims across the UK.

The charity’s report found that when therapy was available to young victims, there could be a delay of up to a year on waiting lists.

Sexual abuse can have devastating consequences for a child but it remains a low priority Debbie Allnock NSPCC

And teenagers were particularly likely to miss out on counselling because they were considered too old for a child protection plan but too young for adult services.

Often therapy was offered too late, when a child was already showing the effects of the abuse, and a gap was identified in provision to deal with rape and sexual abuse.

The NSPCC’s Debbie Allnock, who led the research, said there was a need for “huge investment” into therapeutic services for children. (more…)
