WHY are there people out there who feel comfortable with preying on little children? Two such predators were described as a prolific child pornographer and another as a licensed foster parent. These guys finally got busted in California for recruiting children in parks masquerading as talent scouts… but in reality they were adding them to their ‘porn ring’.
Three men have been arrested for allegedly luring children in the Coachella Valley into child pornography by approaching them at city parks posing as representatives of a modeling agency.
On Tuesday investigators called the porn ring one of the most “egregious” cases of child exploitation seen in Southern California in recent years. The investigation into the case spanned from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, but mostly focused on the low-income city of Desert Hot Springs, where most the children were victimized.
Riverside County District Attorney Mike Hestrin said the scheme targeted “multiple” children, but would not specify the number of victims.
The suspects are:
• John David Yoder, 43, special education aide at Desert Hot Springs High School, who is also a licensed foster parent;
• William Clyde Thompson, 54, of Las Vegas, a fugitive who prosecutors described as a “well-known, prolific child pornographer,”
And Eric Monsivais, 29, of Los Angeles.
All three suspects face a slew of felony charges, including child exploitation, lewd act with a child and conspiracy to produce and distribute child porn. They have all pleaded not guilty.
I cannot imagine a punishment fitting for this crime… revenge isn’t even good enough for slimy monsters like these three.
