Just when I think I am creeped out enough for the evening along comes So Jaded over at the Dreamin’ Demon with a really creepy dude like 21-year-old Laszlo Arsenio Horvath from Bithlo, Florida.

Last month Orange County deputies began their investigation of Laszlo (MySpace) after receiving a tip on the Crimeline about alleged animal abuse. This mouth breather apparently just couldn’t get a date with a real girl so the lonely fucktard gave his affections to his Whippet named Silvy.

Whippets are medium sized dogs and Horvath did so much damage to the poor creature that when deputies contacted him they found Silvy with her hind end all fixed up with a cloth pressed against her lower half and held in place with duct tape which was holding her legs closed. Excuse me while I throw up a little in my mouth.

I’ll repeat that. Silvy had her legs duct tape closed holding a cloth against her lower half. After investigators convinced Horvath the best thing to do would be to turn the dog over to animal services a veterinarian decided that she was in such bad shape that they needed to euthanize the 8-year-old dog. After she was put down they did a necropsy and found human male DNA inside the poor thing.

Deputies interviewed Horvath yesterday and he confessed to sodomizing the dog several times because he was so lonely. He was arrested and taken to the Orange County Jail and charged with animal abuse.

Back on July 24th 28-year-old Jeffrey Alan Bissonnett’s wife noticed that their 2-month-old baby was crying a lot more than usual and that there was an unusually shaped lump on the back of the little girl’s head. She immediately took the baby to the hospital where doctors found two skull fractures along with broken ribs.

According to police reports she told the police that she suspected her husband, Jeffrey, because he has a history of anger management issues. They arrested Bissonnett the next day (last week) and charged him with Assault and Criminal Mistreatment. He was released on bond this past Monday.

The little girl’s injuries are not life-threatening thank goodness and she is still under the care of the folks at OHSU Hospital in Portland, Oregon.

You can find Jeffrey’s (who oh by the way lists himself as single) MySpace here.

Back toward the end of May 36-year-old Christopher Richard King was arrested for allegedly violating the student-teacher relationship. He is accused of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl from Marietta High School. He was lodged in the Cobb County Jail on $25,000 bond. King, who has taught for Marietta City Schools since 2004, resigned his teaching position the day before he was arrested the first time.

King, who apparently had sex with the girl on several different occasions, was ordered as a stipulation of his bond to not contact the girl, decided that since he must be innocent of any crime it would be OK to send the girl an email. He has been arrested again and sentenced to five days in jail for violating his bond.

The video below is from King’s initial arrest.

What sucks about this whole situation is something I was entirely unaware of. The Georgia Supreme Court apparently ruled back in June that a student of the legal age of consent can legally have sex with a teacher. What the fuck is that about? The inbred fuckers sitting on the court are saying that it’s OK for this man, who is old enough to be the girl’s father, to fuck his students as long as they are 16 or older. King’s attorney states that since the Supreme Court says it is legal and the sex is consensual Christopher King has done nothing illegal and the case should be dropped.

Last night was the third night in Palermo Town Court for the trial of Lynn and Lindsey Maxwell. Both of the Maxwells have been charged with four counts each of creating an unsanitary environment as well as locking Erin Maxwell in her room in a manner that she couldn’t escape in an emergency.

State Police Investigator Joe Harriger testified for four hours last night about the conditions of the house. Most of the stuff he testified about we have already gone over last year in the initial posts that were put up. He said that he saw a pile of garbage, chickens in cages, 20 dead kittens in the freezer, cat feces and plenty of cats.

The defense counsel did get Harriger to admit that they pulled 43 cats out of the house rather than 63, which is what was in his initial report.

The trial continues tonight and I will try to have an update in the morning. You can also follow it in more detail at the link below.

Last night the trial of Lynn and Lindsey Maxwell continued with Defense Attorney Sal Lanzo’s opening statement. He said that the Maxwells will both be testifying before the jury and according to CNYCentral the charges were just a rush to judgment and the issue was whether the state has a right to tell you how clean your house can be. It was obvious from the beginning that he was going to use this tact. We’ll see when the jury comes back how they feel about it. Their 11-year-old daughter was forced to live in unsanitary conditions in a house full of garbage, animals and cat shit.

They are also accused of locking Erin in a room so that she couldn’t get out all even if there was an emergency.

The DA took the same tact and told the jury that this case is about Erin and the conditions that she was forced to live in.

The first witness to be called was New York State Trooper Shawn Finkle. He told the jury about the conditions of Erin Maxwell’s house when she died and showed pictures of the garbage strewn throughout the house.

The case continues tonight and I will update this tomorrow or you can follow it at CNYCentral as well.

This Week’s Hero Was Suggested By Deb

Back toward the end of May 39-year-old Christopher M. Pocknell was arrested on charges of Domestic Abuse and Bail Jumping. I came across the story then but decided at the time that I would wait until it went to trial before writing about it as the victim was not identified among other reasons.

Basically what happened is that Christopher installed a GPS tracking unit under the bumper of his estranged wife’s car. It had the ability to send text messages of it’s location to a cell phone. The chip was leased to Christopher Pocknell back in October of last year but I don’t know for sure how long he had been tracking his wife’s whereabouts. In addition to the GPS chip Pocknell consistently harassed his wife, following her to Iowa one time.

I’m not real sure why this story intrigued me so much when I ran across it back in May because obviously there was no violent crime committed and nobody was missing or murdered. How would this have turned out had the GPS chip not been found when it was? Christopher is no stranger to domestic abuse. From what I have been able to ascertain, his first ex-wife had a restraining order for domestic abuse against him during or after their divorce. I sent her a couple of emails but she didn’t respond.
