Sixty-year-old Wayne Logan was arrested in Memphis, TN for allegedly paying the mother of an 8 year old girl to have sex with the minor. Wayne Logan is Shelby County Sheriff’s Department employee and remains in jail. Think the story is bizarre? It get even more so.
Wayne Logan is engaged to Judge Joyce Broffit, General Sessions Judge.
Logan is engaged to General Sessions Judge Joyce Broffitt and records show he used her as a reference when he got his job in the Sheriff’s Department’s records and identification office. He is on paid leave from the department while the case is pending.
Police said Logan was charged with raping an eight-year-old girl after the child picked him out of a photo lineup. (My Eye Witness News)
So the suspect is not only an employee of the Sheriff’s Department, he is also involved in a relationship with a sitting judge. No conflict of interest there. Thus, because of the ties all of the General Session judges recused themselves from the case.
Wayne Logan appeared in court yesterday for his first hearing on child rape charges, but all the General Sessions court judges in Shelby County recused themselves.
Logan’s attorney, Leslie Ballin, says the General Sessions judges agreed it would be inappropriate for them to hear the case because his fiancé is a sitting General Sessions Court judge. (WMC-TV)
UPDATE: New Judge named in the Wayne Logan case.
Memphis, Tenn. (WHBQ) Former Rutherford County Judge Steven Davis has now been named to hear the case of Wayne Logan, the Shelby County worker accused of having sex with an eight-year old girl.
Shelby County Judges had asked for a visiting judge to be assigned because Logan has a relationship with Shelby County Judge Joyce Broffit.
Its is also being reported that a woman has come forward and has stated that Wayne Logan may have abused at least one more girl. However, there may be more.
The mother of the 8 year old girl is also being charged in the case and pimping her daughter to a 61 year old man.
Twenty-seven year-old Sharon Crawford is charged with accepting money in exchange for letting a man have sex with her little girl.
The story came to light when the 8 year old girl complained of pain to a teacher in school. This is just a shameful story and situation.
The police officer who arrested Crawford wrote that the 8 year-old girl first told her teacher about “pain between her legs”.
The report goes on to say “the 8 year-old victim advised the teacher that it was her mother’s friend. The victim also stated that this occurred several times and that when it does, her mother gets money. The 8 year-old victim further stated that she is made to perform oral and vaginal sex acts with her mother’s friend.” (My Eye Witness News)

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.

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.

The details of one of Austria’s most notorious crimes have kept the nation spellbound since Natascha escaped from her abductor, Wolfgang Priklopil. She discusses her story for the first time.
The story of Natascha Kampusch has sparked a media and human interest frenzy the like that
has not been seen in Austria. Natascha Kampusch’s tale of being held captive by her abductor Wolfgang Priklopil for 8 years has enticed the curiosity of all. Natascha showed her face for the first time since her escape from her 8 year long captive hell. Natascha dreamed of escaping and fleeing her captivity although she had not planned to the day that she finally did.
The eighteen-year-old said her escape hadn’t been planned that day and that it was a flight of opportunity. She thought about fleeing many times but knew that if her attempt failed she would never come out of the windowless dungeon she was kept in for eight years.
Also, Natascha Kampusch admits that there were several times she dreamed of killing her captor. Is it any wonder with the torment she went through that she did not carry out her thoughts.
“I also had nasty thoughts… Sometimes I dreamt of chopping his head off, if I had an axe,” the teenager told the magazine, but added that the man’s suicide was “a waste” as no one should resort to suicide.
(Sofia News Agency)
Natascha Kampusch would ask herself according to reports why of all people did this happen to her? During her eight year ordeal all she could do was dream of escaping.
Kidnap victim Natascha Kampusch has said all she could think of during her eight-year ordeal was how to escape and despaired when she learned that people believed she was dead.
“I asked myself again and again ‘why among all the million people did this happen to me?’,” Natascha told News magazine.
Priklopil had locked Natascha in the windowless cell in his house in Strasshoff, some 15 miles outside the capital, after abducting her on her way to school in 1998.
“I felt like a chicken in a hen battery,” she said.
“I promised myself that I would never lose the thought of escape.”

I tried to ask for help using my eyes, says kidnapped girl
The Austrian girl who was held captive in an underground cell for eight years has told how she tried in vain to signal for help with her eyes when she met people during occasional outings with her captor.
Last night, Feurstein said: “There were moments in the interview that really gave me the creeps. She told me she made eye contact with people time and again, and wanted to signal them, ‘Please help me’. And nobody reacted.”
(UK Telegraph)
Kampusch Interview “Gave Journalist the Creeps”
Christoph Feurstein, the ORF journalist who landed a career-deciding interview with Austrian abduction escapee Natascha Kampusch said to the BBC that talking to her gave him the creeps.
Kampusch claimed she had made eye-contact with people trying to ask them for help, but no one got her signals. This and other moments in the interview shocked the journalist, and the effect of Kampusch’s words was increased by the fact that she was not disguised or hidden in any way.

The trial for 64 year old Dean Schwartzmiller, who authorities state may be the most prolific 
child molester in history. The story of Dean Schwartzmiller simply shows the problems in how child molesters are dealt with and the slaps on the wrists that are given. Dean Arthur Schwartzmiller was previously arrested nine times; however, managed to avoid lengthy prison terms, coach youth football, move in with another convicted sex offender
Now, more than a year after Dean Schwartzmiller was arrested for allegedly abusing two 12-year-old cousins, his trial is set to begin in a Santa Clara County courtroom.
Schwartzmiller, 64, has pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of child molestation and child pornography in connection with the boys, whom he befriended in December 2002. Opening statements are scheduled to begin Monday in a trial that could last more than a month. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Schwartzmiller is suspected of possibly molesting over 36,000 victims.
A convicted child molester jailed in California may have committed sex crimes against thousands of victims, police said Thursday after finding computers, notebooks and meticulous, handwritten lists of boys’ names and apparent codes for various sex acts.
During a search of his bedroom in San Jose, police discovered binders full of child porn and numerous logs with lists of more than 36,000 children’s names — mostly boys — and codes that appear to indicate how he abused them.

Fernando Pascual, 22, of North Fort Meyers was sentenced to 10 years in prison for harboring a 13 year old Guatemalan girl as a sex slave and housekeeper. Also charged were Pascual, his sister, Matilde Pascual Andres, and Andres’ husband, Pascual Miguel Sebastian.
A U-S district judge sentenced 22-year-old Fernando Pascual Tuesday. As part of a plea deal, Pascual pleaded guilty in March to charges of sex trafficking and harboring an illegal immigrant for commercial gain. His sentence of ten years was in exchange for the victim not having to testify.
Pascual, his sister, Matilde Pascual Andres, and Andres’ husband, Pascual Miguel Sebastian, were charged in May 2005 with harboring a young girl in a Cape Coral home.
Prosecutors said the girl was bought in Guatemala and brought to Cape Coral, where she was raped, beaten and forced to work.

Police search for pedophile, Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, 35, of Morinville, 
Alberta after boy goes missing. How many offenses do those that are charged with sex crimes have to commit before they are deemed unfit to live in society? Canada has the same issues as does the United States.
WHITEWOOD, Sask. - Police in Western Canada were desperately searching Monday for a 10-year-old Saskatchewan boy allegedly abducted by a notorious pedophile who’s been jailed several times for sexual crimes against children.
RCMP issued a Canada-wide warrant for Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, of Chilliwack, B.C., after Zachary Miller, a red-headed 10-year-old from Whitewood,Sask., was reported missing.

Police search for pedophile, missing boys
WHITEWOOD, Sask. — Police across Western Canada have launched a frantic ground and air search for two missing young boys — one from Winnipeg, one from Saskatchewan — and the convicted pedophile accused of kidnapping them through a pair of shocking schemes, one of which was carried out in Brandon.
Peter Robert Joseph Whitmore, 35, is wanted on a Canada-wide warrant after vanishing from the small farming community of Whitewood in southeastern Saskatchewan on Sunday evening.
Whitmore is believed to be travelling with 10-year-old Zachary Miller of Whitewood and 14-year-old Jordan Bruyere of Winnipeg in a blue 1988 Dodge Caravan with Alberta licence plates.

Craig Roger Gregerson, you belong in the 7th circle of Hell for what you did to 5 
year old Destiny Norton. Who knew that with crimes against children that consist of rape, molestation and murder that there would be levels of severity?
There is actually no punishment that we have in the present US justice system that would be acceptable. For you Craig Roger Gregerson I would actually bring back public stoning for just one day. Laws and punishments were not made with such sick human beings like yourself.
Gregerson’s mother-in-law also made it clear that she hopes justice is done, and that Destiny’s accused killer goes away for good.
“I hope he never sees the light of day again… outside of prison.” - Gregerson’s mother-in-law

As Destiny Norton’s funeral takes place today at 11:00 a.m. at the LDS church, Craig Roger Gregerson was charged Friday with crimes against 5 year old Destiny Norton that are unspeakable.
To send your condolences to the family click here.
Gregerson remains in the Salt Lake County Jail where he is being held on a $5 million dollar bond for multiple counts against 5 year old Destiny. According to the Court Documents, what Gregerson did defies belief”
Count I. Criminal Homicide:
- Craig Roger Gregerson intentionally and knowingly cause the death of Destiny Norton
- The defendant committed the crime of abuse or desecration of a dead human body in that the defendant committed or attempted to commit upon the dead human body of DN any act of sexual penetration.
Count II. Child Kidnapping in the first degree.
Press Statement from Salt Lake City District Attorney
The Press statement includes the cause of death as reported by the medical examiner.
Todd Grey, Chief Medical Examiner for the State of Utah, performed an autopsy on Destiny’s body on July 25, 2006. Dr Grey observed on her body consistent with post-mortem vaginal penetration. Dr Grey opined that the manner of Destiny’s death was homicide and that the cause of death was consistent with smothering.
At some point one has to wonder what we can do to rid our society of such individuals. Calling them animals would be a disservice to actual animals everywhere. It is unimaginable that they walk among us.

Well Debra LaFave can thank the lord that she is a pretty and a woman. Today, the states attorney of Marion County dropped the charges against her for having sex with a 14 
year old boy. There is no way this ever would have occurred if she had committed this same crime as a man.
Debra LaFave had just found out the Marion County state attorney dropped three charges against her. So she doesn’t have to stand trial and risk a prison sentence on allegations she had sex with a 14-year-old student in Ocala in June 2004.
Earlier, Marion County Judge Hale Stancil rejected a plea agreement for LaFave, prompting the state attorney to dismiss the charges against her.
Needless to say Debra LaFave is doing cartwheels over this decision. 
Debra LaFave, Sex Offender: “Mental illnesses are real and how they can cause good people to do bad things.”
Talk about a double standard. What do you this a states attorney would have done if it was a man having sex with a 14 year old girl? Equal justice under the law, huh? Ever wonder why we are beginning to hear nothing but these types of stories? Maybe its because the women know that they won’t be taken seriously.
This is priceless …
Debra LaFave: “I offer my deepest apology. I’ve been undergoing extensive therapy and believe it has helped me tremendously. I would hope that all media outlets will let us peacefully move on.” And despite the intense media interest in her case, LaFave says she is taking courses on –line to become a journalist. (Tampa Bays 10)
Teacher Debra Lafave Won’t Face Student Sex Charges
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had urged the judge to accept the 
deal for the sake of the boy involved. A psychiatrist who examined the teenager told the judge at a previous hearing that the boy suffered extreme anxiety from the media coverage of the case and does not want to testify.
Marion County Circuit Judge Hale Stancil, however, said the lack of prison time for Lafave under the plea deal “shocks the conscience of this court,” and he rejected it.
Assistant State Attorney Richard Ridgway, in explaining the decision to drop the charges, said: “The court may be willing to risk the well-being of the victims in this case in order to force it to trial. I am not.” (Local 6)
