RSS29 Year Old Patrick Lee Kenney Sentenced to 6 Years for Texting 12 Year Old Girl
The internet can be a very dangerous place … yet one more example.
29 year old Patrick Lee Kenney has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for the attempted rape of a 12 year old girl. The girl’s mother discovered Kenney’s inappropriate text messages on her daughter’s cell phone. Patrick Lee Kenney also pleaded no contest to attempted sexual abuse and furnishing obscene material to a minor. Where did 29 year old Patrick Lee Kenney and the 12 year old girls meet? MySpace.com of course.
The girl’s mother accidentally saw the text messages and gave the phone to Klamath County sheriff’s deputies, who continued the text chat with Kenney.
Detectives say they arrested Kenney at a park while he was trying to meet the victim.
Prosecutor David Groff said the case is a reminder about the dangers children face from Internet predators.

There are some really sick people in this world. Parents PLEASE monitor your children carefully. This happens way too often. These predators will try anything to get their next victim. Fortunately the mother of this girl caught it before it was too late. Teenage girls are naive and don’t understand the ramifications of talking to strangers over the internet. We need to educate our children about these dangers.
I have two teenagers at home and I talk with them everyday about these things. I monitor their cell phones, their computers. I check their backpacks everyday before & after school. They think I’m too strict but I’m just being protective. I will not allow them to go to a friends house unless I know their parents. I know this is not a 100% guarantee but at least I try to know what my children are doing, who they are with as much as possible.
BEWARE There are urin vandercraps every where and they need to be exposed !!! Devres knows this and is making a killing on the video footage along with dateline NBC.
How disgusting. Let’s boycott MySpace.com!
