‘World’s Greatest Dad’ Arrested As Sex Predator

LANSING, Mich. — A man whose shirt proclaims him as the “world’s greatest dad” was arrested Tuesday on charges he tried to use the Internet to arrange a sexual encounter with a minor.

Daniel Allen Everett, of Clarkston, Mich., was caught in one of Attorney General Mike Cox’s cyber stings, NewsChannel5’s sister station WXYZ reported. Everett was accused of arranging a meeting for sex with a minor. “Today’s arrest is a reminder that a parent can pose a threat to our children,” said Cox. “And no matter how great a criminal thinks they are, if you intend to harm or solicit children, my office is coming after you.” Investigators arrested Everett, 33, for chatting online with who he thought was a 14-year-old girl that he met in a chatroom. Everett allegedly engaged in graphic sexual conversation with an undercover agent and propositioned the agent. The father was arrested in Novi, Mich., where he is alleged to have appeared to meet the minor for sex. He was arrested wearing a T-shirt with the words, “Worlds Greatest Dad” on the front. Everett was arraigned on one count of child sexually abusive activity, and one count of using the Internet to commit child sexually abusive activity. Judge Andra Dudley set bond at $50,000 cash. Parents are encouraged to check their children’s “buddy lists” for the screen name(s) Everett used including “danmichelle2004.”

Rich’s Note: I don’t think this one deserves any more commentary from me, except for maybe wondering why the shirt doesn’t say “World’s Biggest Idiot”.

ATLANTA — Federal authorities have arrested a north Georgia man accused of videotaping his sexual abuse of a 9-year-old girl over a four-year period and distributing photos and videos of the alleged incidents over the Internet.

James Bartholomew Huskey was arrested at his home in LaFayette on Monday and faces charges of manufacturing child pornography and uploading it to the Internet. Huskey is being held in federal custody and is scheduled to have a bond hearing before Magistrate Judge E. Clayton Scofield III on Monday. Federal authorities began investigating the case in June 2006, and discovered images of a man sexually assaulting a young girl. “This defendant allegedly produced a notorious series of images of child sexual abuse that have circulated around the world, with demand from the most hard-core and despicable child porn consumers,” said David E. Nahmias, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia. “The series of videos depict a girl being abused from the time she was approximately 5 years old until she was 9 years old. Prosecutors said Huskey, 38, admitted abusing the girl and sending the images online. The victim was identified and confirmed the assaults and tapings.

Video and pictures of the abuse were sent by computer around the world. They were well known to members of child porn rings as the “Tara” photos. Police in Australia alerted the FBI about the images two years ago. Huskey’s two children have been taken into protective custody by Georgia authorities. Neighbors said Huskey works as a tennis coach.

Rich’s Note: Yes, you read that correctly. This loser has two kids of his own. Not known at this time if the victim was one of them (not that it matters though). What was he looking for by uploading this to the internet? To be a “guru” of sorts to all his online child porn buddies? Does he not know about computer forensics, that can be used to trace practically anything from anywhere? Oh well, he’ll get what he deserves, hopefully (LWOP, anyone?). Here’s hoping the victim can resume a relatively normal life after what promises to be an extremely long and turbulent recovery.

Teen Spits, Curses When Sentenced For Aggravated Murder

HAMILTON, Ohio – An 18-year-old youth spit, cursed and tried to break away after being sentenced to life in prison without parole by a judge in southwest Ohio.

The melee erupted Wednesday when Butler County Common Pleas Judge Craig Hedric announced the aggravated murder sentence against Michael Douglass for his role in a slaying in West Chester. Douglass spit at the judge, and tried to get away wearing handcuffs and shackles. The sentencing resumed with Douglass placed in the jury box, surrounded by deputies. He cursed the judge repeatedly. Douglass is the second teen convicted in the stabbing death of Sabyasachi Debnath, killed in a motel robbery. The other awaits sentencing and a third teen faces trial in August.

Rich’s Note: …then again, he’s already going to spend the rest of his life in a concrete box with no chance for parole, so I guess it isn’t going to HURT him, either. This just sheds light on the true mentality of some of these people. How sad.
