James Bardour, Broadway star known for playing the Beast in “Beauty and the Beast” has been charged with five counts of criminal sexual acts and sexual abuse of a 15 year old. Bardour pleaded not guilty to the charges that stem back to 2001.
James Barbour, 40, was charged with five counts of criminal sex acts and sexual abuse against the teen back in 2001. She came forward earlier this year before the five-year statute of limitations expired.
Assistant District Attorney Maxine Rosenthal, speaking at the hearing, said prosecutors were aware of a second case in which Barbour allegedly had sexual contact with another underage girl, in California.
If the New York case goes to trial, Rosenthal said, she will try to introduce evidence regarding the uncharged California case. She did not discuss specifics. (International Herald Tribune)
In a statement from April 2006, James Bardour states quite a different version of events. What does it say? Blames the 15 year old of course.
In a written statement signed April 4, 2006, and made public Wednesday by Rosenthal, Barbour said sexual contact with the girl, a student at the high school he attended, was initiated by her when he had dinner with her and her boyfriend.
The girl later told him she was 16 and wanted to pursue a career in theater, Barbour’s statement said.
During a subsequent telephone conversation, the statement said, Barbour asked the girl what she was thinking the night they had dinner together, “and she said ‘I was thinking I wanted to’” have sex with him.
One evening, he and the girl went to his apartment, and they lay in bed and discussed sex acts and kissed, the statement said.

DA: BROADWAY STAR PREYED ON DRESSING-ROOM VISITOR, 15
The now-20-year-old woman, who is working in the theater, came forward only recently – just within the five-year statute of limitations.
Manhattan prosecutors, who are withholding her name, say she contacted authorities out of a concern that other young girls might be at risk.
Fearing there may be more victims, authorities have asked that anyone with any possible sex-assault allegations against Barbour contact prosecutors at (212) 335-9373. (NY Post)
Underage cutie and ‘The Beast’
Prosecutors charge that the girl, who was visiting from a nearby suburb, was molested backstage as her parents sat in the audience and then again at a restaurant later that night, officials said.
A month later, Barbour invited the teenager back to his upper West Side apartment and the two engaged in sex acts, officials said.
The victim, who is now 20 years old, came forward with her allegations in April. Barbour was arrested later that month released after posting bail, officials said.
A source in the Manhattan district attorney’s office said the teenager came forward earlier this year because she realized what he had done was wrong and she was concerned that he might have approached other underage girls. (NY Daily News)

One day after the voters, “WE THE PEOPLE”, of California passed Proposition 83 on a 
70.5% to 29.5% in Tuesday’s election, US District Judge Susan Illston blocked the law. She stated, “the measure is overly punitive and prevented it from going into effect.”
Voters passed Proposition 83 on a 70.5 percent to 29.5 percent vote in Tuesday’s election. The measure bars registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of schools and parks, a requirement challenged in a lawsuit by an anonymous plaintiff convicted of a sex offense 15 years ago. (Yahoo News)
Read Proposition 83 for yourself and see if you agree with it.

Ever think elections do not matter? Guess who appointed US District Judge Susan Illston?
Once again, Liberal judges defending sex offenders over our children. If its not bad enough we have judges not sentencing sex offenders to jail time because they are too short or only giving convicted sex offender mere months, we now have judges blocking laws that would protect children. Instead we have judges that think the answer is to have convicted sex offenders wear t-shirts that state, “I am a sex offender”. What the hell is this country coming to?
Judicial legislation is out of control and must be stopped. By an overwhelming 70.5% this proposition passes in CA. It is not as though California is a conservative, red state. Even the common sense voters of California know that they must protect themselves and their children from sexual predators. Its too bad the liberal judges wish to protect the sex offender.
It is amazing how the democratic process in this country is constantly undermined by judges with an agenda. The response from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legal affairs secretary was as follows:
“The voters have spoken and the governor will vigorously defend the lawsuit so the implementation of this vital measure can go forward to protect Californians against the lewd acts of convicted felons,” Hoch said in a statement.
This judicial activism and interference has got to end. This has nothing to do with politics and a Republican or Democratic issue. This is about our children … something that all of us can agree on his a common ideal, “We the People” can all stand for.

Here’s a doctor bed-side manner that we can all deal without. A California doctor, Tony 
Shiu, is accused of taking pictures of patients while they were unconscious and semi-nude. Dr. Tony Shiu is also accused of sexual battery of two men at his home. A $1 million warrant has been issued. Dr. Tony Shiu has gone missing since the warrant was issued.
” A California doctor is accused of taking hundreds of photographs of different patients while they were unconscious and semi-nude at his medical clinic.
A $1 million arrest warrant has been issued for Dr. Tony Shiu, who also is accused of sexually battering two men at his home. Shiu is in private practice in Dublin, Calif. However, he disappeared after the warrant was issued. Authorities believe he has left the San Francisco Bay area.
A search of Shiu’s home turned up about 450 digital photographs of 19 male patients who were unconscious and undressed in medical examination rooms. Only two of the patients photographed have been positively identified, police said. Those patients were not the two men who reported being battered at Shiu’s home. (Local 10)
East Bay Dr. Wanted On Rape Charge Eludes Police

A man who had sexually molested a preschool girl and broadcast the images live over the internet has been arrested. The depravity of some people defies words. Luckily for this young girl, this pedophile sent the images to and undercover detective. The young girl was rescued 2 hours after Toronto police’s Sex Crimes child exploitation unit witnessed the live assault.
He alerted police in St. Thomas, a city in southwestern Ontario where police believed the man lived, and they were able to track him down in two hours.
“To see this child and look that child in the eyes and realize that the child was live somewhere, being abused, we had to save the child right then,” Krawczyk said at a news conference. “The minute we realized what was happening, we went as fast as we could.”
Krawczyk belongs to Toronto’s Child Exploitation Section, acclaimed for its work tracking down child pornographers on the Internet. Microsoft Corp. teamed with the detectives last year to launch a software program designed to help police forces around the world hunt down child porn Internet traffickers.
Tool Thwarts Online Child Predators
Using CETS, police agencies can manage and analyze huge volumes of information in powerful new ways, such as cross-referencing obscure data relationships and using social-network analysis to identify communities of offenders.
“CETS has helped police catch up with cyber-criminals on the Internet,” Gillespie says. “The product has exceeded my wildest dreams. I have also been impressed by Microsoft Canada and their passion to do the right thing. I am overwhelmed with their sense of responsibility”. (Microsoft.com)
The man’s name has not yet been released to protect the identity of the preschool girl. It has not been reported what the relationship is between the arrested pedophile and the girl.
He said the identity of the 34-year-old man was not being released to protect the girl. He declined to say whether the suspect was related to her.
Krawczyk said the girl was safe with family members and getting medical care.
The man’s bail hearing was set for Tuesday and he faces 10 charges of sexual assault and the production, possession and distribution of child pornography. (WNBC)
The unidentified man will be charged with an array of sex charges that will hopefully put this dirt bag away for quite a while.
Ontario law enforcement agencies yesterday revealed how they tracked down and arrested the 34-year-old man, who faces a litany of charges including making child pornography, sexual assault and sexual interference. (Canada.com)
The Toronto Child Exploitation unit has done some amazing work including helping Florida police locate a young girl who had appeared in a series of sexually explicit photographs taken at a Walt Disney World hotel. There message is very clear and very much appreciated.
“The message to all pedophiles, and people who want to sexually exploit children on the Internet is that we are on the Internet 24/7, we know where you are and we will find you,” Krawczyk said.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Central Florida appear to be in some 
major trouble. The fraternity has been suspended by its national charter after three students were found so drunk that they need to be hospitalized. Now SAE is being investigated in a hazing ritual where some of the pledges may have been sexually assaulted.
VIDEO
School officials investigating an apparent hazing ritual at a fraternity house on the University of Central Florida campus in which pledges were found in diapers, fairy wings and women’s panties told Local 6 News that there is evidence that several of them may have been sexually assaulted.
University police, acting on a tip, said they noticed loud, aggressive screaming and moaning coming from the SAE fraternity house.
“At first, students would not let police into the fraternity house because they said they were performing a ritual,” Local 6′s Louis Bolden said. “Apparently, that ritual included male students dressing up like women and drinking until they had to be hospitalized.”
Friday, Local 6 News reported that a university official close to the investigation confirmed that a police investigation has been launched into whether the men were sexually assaulted.
UPDATE: (11/9/06) Florida University Shut Down After Hazing Incident
Looks like a bade case of when Animal House goes wrong, terribly wrong. What gets me is how on earth any self respecting person would allow anyone to do this to them? With the price of what college tuition (UCF: $3,502 in-state, $17,027 out-of-state) is these days? Exactly why would anyone allow themselves or want to be a part of something that would do this? Better than that, those that did this to the pledges have a firm grasp of right and wrong. The sad fact is that this is the tip of the iceberg … SAE just happened to get caught.
Police said they found pledges crawling on their hands and knees and wearing items such as diapers and women’s underwear, three men were taken to a hospital, and the house smelled of beer, urine and vomit. (AP)
Let’s take a look at what UCF has to say about their fraternities on their web-page.
Fraternity and Sorority Life will be a premier Greek community that fosters an inclusive environment committed to academic excellence, community engagement, personal and leadership development in a safe and supportive environment … (UCF)
Yep, nothing says “personal and leadership development in a safe environment” like wearing woman’s underwear and spelling like urine and vomit.
The mission of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University of Central Florida is to provide a quality and safe undergraduate fraternal experience that enhances student development through the active advising of student leaders. We endeavor to provide opportunities that will create life-long bonds through the principles encompassed in fraternal values … (UCF)
Nothing says life-long bonds like making another dress in a diaper or female underwear and get them so intoxicated that they need to be hospitalized. The end result is that Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter at UCF was closed. Lets hope that they brain-trust as UCF decides to take a look at the rest of the Greek system as well on their college campus.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter will be closed immediately, said Brandon Weghorst, a spokesman for the Evanston, Ill.-based fraternity.
“Our board does not feel it’s worth the effort to rehabilitate the group,” Weghorst said Wednesday. He said as many as two-thirds of the chapter’s approximately 90 members may have been involved.
The chapter, at the school since the university opened in 1968, was previously suspended for a year in 2003 for a suspected hazing.
Chapter president Dru Dalton did not immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday. (AP)

Be care careful of those you meet through on-line dating. If it looks to good to be true, it usually is. 33 year old Jeffrey J. 
Marsalis is facing 9 counts of rape involving 8 woman. Most of the woman he is accused of raping Marsalis met through on online dating service, Match.com. It would appear that Jeffrey Marsalis may have used a date rape drug as his MO.
They said they woke up hours later, back at his apartment – groggy, sometimes undressed – after an apparent sexual encounter or even in the middle of intercourse.
”It was like waking up from surgery,” one woman said. “My body was there, and I could see what was going on around me, but I couldn’t move.” (AP)
Be very careful of who you meet on the internet, be careful of who buys you a drink and please do not leave your drinks unattended.
He was an online dater’s dream: Tall, clean-cut, with a fashionable address and a taste for upscale bars and restaurants. He said he was a doctor, an astronaut, a spy – though he was really an on-and-off nursing student. With woman after woman, he would slip something in their drinks and then rape them, police say.
In court this week during Marsalis’ preliminary hearing, the women told strikingly similar stories of meeting the smooth-talking Marsalis between 2003 and 2005, then feeling unusually intoxicated after returning from the bathroom or letting him buy a round from the bar.
Jeffrey J. Marsalis was acquitted of three similar assaults in Philadelphia in January. Its hard to believe so many could have accused Marsalis of rape, all in the same manner, and it not be a real issue. After being acquitted, Marsalis was then rearrested on new charges.

Do you ever wonder whether sex offenders live near you? Do you ever wonder whether they are at colleges and universities that your children attend? ABC News 13 in Texas decided to find out that very question and the answers were shocking. Doesn’t this give one a safe feeling? There comes a point in time where law abiding citizens rights have to be given greater latitude than those that are criminals. especially sex offenders. To continue to put sex offender in an environment that is a “target rich environment” is just asking for problems.
Of course every university or college is going to proclaim their safety. However, we have learned over the years the repetitive rate of sex offenders is high and that in many cases they are not caught on the 1st, 2nd or 20th offense. Colleges can increase all the securities measures they wish, the problem is they are not getting rid of the source. The sex offender will act again, no matter what the lighting is like on campus, its only a matter of time.
University of Houston:
See the list of registered sex offenders who are enrolled in classes, faculty members, or vendors at the University of Houston
Texas colleges and universities
See the list of registered sex offenders who are enrolled in classes, faculty members, or vendors at Texas college campuses.
Read the letter from the University of Houston’s President and ask yourself if that makes one feel at ease.

You know sometimes you think you have seen and heard it all. Then you get a story like this one out of South Carolina. 23 year old Bryan Garcia was given a 20 year prison sentence and ordered to register as a sex offender after Garcia was found guilty of trying to dig up the grave of a 12 year old girl to have sex with her.
Bryan Nicholas Garcia never did find the girl’s grave and told investigators he wanted to “take her home and have fun,” Clover Police Lt. Randall Horn said.
Garcia pleaded guilty but mentally ill Wednesday to two charges of destruction of a graveyard. Circuit Judge John Hayes sentenced Garcia to 20 years in prison and ordered him to register as a sex offender.
Two mental evaluations found Garcia has a chemical imbalance in his brain that makes him want to have sex with corpses and children, defense attorney John Rhea said. (The State)
Sometimes some of the crimes people commit or intend to commit defy speech. Not only should thins individual never walk among us, he should never walk among anyone. I mean, Bryan Garcia attempts to dig up a 12 year old girl’s grave because he saw her picture in her obituary and thought she was cute. Garcia then tells police he wanted to “take her home and have fun.”
Get this, Bryan Garcia was a former National Merit Scholar at York High School.

PARENTS BEWARE … It appears that a man has attempted to lure young girls into his pickup in both Pineville and Mount Holly County, NC. The driver is said to be a white male driving a red pick up. It is said that he offered them candy Luckily in both cases, the girls ages 11, 13, 10 and 11 refused the ride and reported the incident to family members.
Police in Mount Holly say two girls reported being approached by a man in a pickup truck Monday and asked if they wanted to ride with him. The girls, ages 11 and 13, tell police the driver offered them candy.
It sounds similar to a case last week in Pineville, where two girls — ages 10 and 11 — told police that a white man with a mustache in a red pickup truck offered them candy if they would take a ride with him. That truck had silver flames on the side, the girls said.
Description:
- The driver was reported to be in a red pickup truck.
- He was described as a white man with a mustache.
- The children in the Mount Holly case did not mention the silver flames in their description of the truck. (Charlotte Observer)
