Brooke Bennett, 12 years old Randolph VT #19

It's as though you guys are mindreaders -- the Brooke trip to Texas was on my mind. Was this RG/MJ manipulation of her myspace page or an actual trip in the planning stages?

RG says he has five years of porn on this "missing" computer from the safe. According to Jim Bennett, Cassandra and RG have been seperated for four years. Why did they seperate? Cassandra could have gotten her kids away from him for a good reason....only to walk right back into a similar situation with her sister. Perhaps that is why they were not speaking? Just thinking out loud, here.

FWIW, MJ was divorced from a previous wife at around the time of his 1993 conviction.

Family Tree.....I got some flack yesterday about insisting if we have a family tree it be done w/o last names & w/initials for minors. There are many who think it can't be done. I have thought about it and discussed it and I disagree. IMO, there must be someone here that can figure out how to make a family tree, starting w/Brooke (who this is about) and going out.

I just wanted to say.....

I have just spent the last week reading everything I found on the site. I have read every posting and every thread. I have done a lot of thinking about this case and this poor child. There are a lot of things that are evident about what has happened and I'm sure the whole nasty story will come out in detail soon or at least during a trial. There are no words that I can find to express the disgust I feel for the happenings that brought the end to a young, blameless life.

One of the things that stands out strongly to me is the complete lack of care and supervision that has been shown by almost every adult in this sick family. I do not understand anyones expressed feelings for the perp and his friends. I do not understand how AR could have been left to the mercies of these pigs and not have anyone else notice. Mommy says she keeps close watch on her children. And yet allows the association of her precious child with a known sexual offender. I'm sure she allowed all of her children to be with this "Uncle".

Of course the ultimate responsibility belongs to the one who killed her. There is however, others who did nothing and by that lack of action allowed this to happen. These people must have the IQ of turnips to not see what was going on right in their own homes and families. It is hard for me to accept that the association of these perverts with their children was "no big deal".

This is another reason that these people need to be locked up forever. If parents, who are informed of the crimes of those around their kids, allow the association, then the state must make sure it can't happen. There is no cure for this and so for our children's safty they must be removed from society.

I want you all to know how much I have appreciated all of the work you have put into finding out the facts. I am very sorry that the news people haven't been on top of this story. America needs to wake up to the danger that these people represent to our children and thus to our society. Those that are not caught and put away will hurt untold number of children who grow up and hurt others possibly. The work that has been done on this sad story, on this site, is important for the future of our children. Let's hope that the deaths of our precious children, such as Jessica and Brooke will save other children from their fate.

I will be back tomorrow to check into any developments and to help all of you find out the facts. I need to digest and get over being so mad as much as I can so I can think clearly. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of you and your hard work


Brilliant, thoughtful post.
I agree with you! :clap:

I think until the mothers are prosecuted for neglect or an accessory to the crime, this pattern will continue for decades to come unchecked. (No, not every case, just ones where females were aware of the abuse or RSO status but allowed access to child anyway.)

We know the men can't be rehabilitated, but in reality the women in these cases are often just as sick and are never held accountable.

I think the redactions in the affidavits cause some of the confusion . If some of those redactions are magnified by 300% it is possible to see that the word "dad" has been blocked from many passages. Keeping this revelation in mind helps to clarify many emails.

Another problem causing confusion is grammar; it is difficult at times to know who is being addressing when someone makes a statement such as this:

Babe I am a little worried about your mom and dad. I have been hearing some rumors that your mom has done some thinking about divorcing your dad. God honey that can't happen. I would be so, so sad if that happened. And your poor dad doesn't deserve that after everything he has done for you and your mom and [ ]. In my opinion he has given all of you a great life and nobody should have anything to complain about. Your mom has been taking some phone calls from your FATHER and I guess she hasn't done anything with him recently....

Because the word "dad" is always typed in small letters throughout the email correspondence from 8 May - 26 June, I believe we can infer that FATHER in the above paragraph is a reference to someone other than "dad".

I believe this distinction is important to keep in mind when trying to understand the dynamic between AR, Denise and MJ, as well as C and E.

Law Enforcement's belief that C and E are both MJ has been clearly stated. However it is very hard for me to understand how AR could be "in love" with E, could be terrorized by C, and could not have met C nor E, and -- moreover to have nurtured a belief that "dad" was neither C, nor E.

[liljim]

dad refers to stepfather MJ, father refers to her biological father, when she says she was with someone else from the program but was too drugged to recognize them i believe it was MJ doing so to convince her of the "reality" of the "program", and i think it is likely he pretended to be C, the world travelling adventurer with a deep love for AR that looked forward to someday (after her training) being together with her.

When you type it out that way, its really hard to understand how all this was believed by anyone. I realize this had been repeated over years , but it still boggles the mind that it was believed.

liljim, I agree. However I believe that E is the "world travelling adventurer" and that C is someone who is supposedly higher up in Breckenridge, perhaps the "president". (I do not believe a reference to US President holds). It seems clear to me when AR seeks C's assistance through the "phone company" that AR is clearly separating C from E in some sort of heirarchy.

Did I miss something, I was looking for the interview that for bio-dad did from his home where I thought he said,(Brooke was looking forward to the trip to see her ex-stepfather) I can not find it. While looking I found her myspace page and she list her age as 14?, and states she loves cj, any thoughts on this.

I can't remember where, (Savanah's page?), but somewhere in their circle of friends on Myspace there is a CJ, looked like he was in Texas. Somebody she knew from her visits there? I don't think that page (that said "in love with CJ") had been changed in a long time, so doubtful that MJ wrote that to throw people off. i think that is the account that her bio dad banned her from using & changed the password some time back.

Makes sense that her father would have done so with some other things there as well, also noticed last active date was 3/20.If CJ is in Texas could be why she was looking forward to the trip. Thanks.

ETA..I removed most of my post...after reading it, it's just too much to have on the public board IMO. If you want to read it you can click the link. It is truly disturbing. The only reason I am posting is to show it is EVERYWHERE. These monsters are from all walks of life.

Yes...there are also other places in the e-mails where it seems that AR is the one in control telling C to have people on this and make sure that nobody hurts her or her family. I know she is a victim of all of this and I may get slapped around for saying this but some of her e-mails made her seem as if she were as manipulative as the others.

I think that 14 is the minimum age requirement to have a Myspace account. This particular account is probably the one that her bio dad shut down. I wonder why he didn't just delete it. If she states that she is in love witha "CJ." This could be the reason that she was visiting TX. I figured that her pedophile ex-stepfather showered her with gifts and attention; and that was her reason for wanting to visit. Maybe, it was for both reasons.

[ZOOL]

...I know she is a victim of all of this and I may get slapped around for saying this but some of her e-mails made her seem as if she were as manipulative as the others.

I agree. Currently I am under the opinion that MJ had groomed AR for a future prostitution/pornography ring. I believe this may have been the final stage of the Breckenridge program. Meanwhile, because of MJ's infatuation with early age (prior to "teenage" lets say), I believe he was in the process of "recruiting Brooke" while preparing AR for "farming out".

Because of AR's language throughout her emails (as well as her pleas and requests to C), I believe that AR was acquiescent to all the above.

good theory

Does anyone know why the media isn't really covering this story at all? I know it is horrific and that it is an ongoing investigation but so is other stories they follow. It seems to me once they got their "perp" we hardly ever hear anymore unless the trial is on Court TV. Why is that?

That's frustrating. Personally, I think people are becoming desensitized to it all because it is happening so much.

[nanandjim]

In my opinion EVERYONE failed A.R. and Brooke. It is easy to sit back and put the blame on Denise and Cassandra, but they did not do this horrible crime. Could they of stopped it from happening? Maybe, but so could Brookes father, Brookes stepmother, Brookes grandma, A.Rs bio dad, Jacques family members who had dealt with issues in the past, and the list goes on and on. The people in town who knew about Jacques history why where they not screaming from the roof tops, are they responsible also? ...
I agree with you, busylady. There is plenty of blame to go around. I think that we tend to blame the mothers because we expect them to be more vigilant than everyone else. What bothers me is Denise was extremely close to MJ's sister. Didn't any of his past history ever come out? Wouldn't the sister warn her SIL?

I've also questioned more than once why Brooke's bio dad would have permitted Brooke to be around MJ. I have to give him a break if he didn't know about him molesting the sister. If he only knew about the 18-year-old, he may have not realized that MJ was a pedophile. Even Denise may not have realized that he was a pedophile if she didn't know about the sister. To me, it was the sister's duty to tell Denise (since they were close).

I can well imagine that MJ glossed over the incident about the 18-year-old. He may have told Denise that she was a willing participant and then cried "rape" later. Who knows what he told her, but I will bet that it wasn't the truth.

Surely Denise should feel betrayed by MJ's sister with this information now being exposed. If so, why on earth would she even be around the sister? I guess that Denise has now put 2 and 2 together (all of the overt signs with AR coupled with the forced incest of his young sister).

I firmly believe that it was the sister (the blonde) crying at MJ's hearing. I just do not understand why Denise was even there unless she was enraged and wanted him to see her. She was emotionless according to the article, IIRC.

[Lola]

He may be up for parole, but you can be sure his ex-wife and the family are going to be there protesting it.

Nope, snip from article


Took is now appealing. Despite his indeterminate sentence, he will be eligible for parole in just three and a half years, having already served nearly a year on remand.



Again, not trying to go off topic from Brooke, trying to convey these pedos are all over the place. There are 130 being looked at that were on chats with this guy alone. It's so scary. PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN!

I want to quote one more line from this article...this shoulda been her first clue!!


When Pat met Took 25 years ago, she was divorced from her first husband by whom she had a son and two teenage daughters. Took, her junior by seven years, charmed Pat and paid flattering attention to her daughters, particularly Jennifer who was 13 at the time. Now Pat says wearily, but without a trace of self-pity, ‘He married me for my money. And for my children.’ It was Pat’s money that enabled Took to lead his double life, giving him a substantial Chelsea home as a base and all the attendant means and prosperous gloss to hide behind.
Pat’s family noticed that Took liked teenage girls. They treated it as a bit of a joke, which they feel sick about in hindsight, but none of them ever imagined his passion was for small children.


I really am having a hard time believing this woman, and the adults in Brooke's life, did not know what was going on. They need to be punished.

[Hailiejade77]

Nope, snip from article

All I have to say is that is truly truly horrible. Instead he should be stoned to death.

[liljim]

i think part of the reason they arent covering it is because nothing new regarding the investigation has come out since the feds took over, but i still dont understand why the more explosive and shocking details from the latest affidavit have not been reported.

regarding brooke, MJ certainly may have had the idea in the past to do the same thing with brooke that he had done with AR, but i dont think anything in the evidence we have seen so far suggests that that was his plan recently. even tho AR told authorities that she thought brooke was to "initiated into the sex ring" that day, i dont think that is true at all.

i think AR may or may not have known MJ's true plan, but i dont see any room ofr doubt that Mj certainly didnt have any expectation that he was recruiting another girl that day. everything we know so far says that they saw her as a "threat" and something "had to be done". they were angry with her and her sister, and wanted to see brooke suffer and be degraded.

i dont think any sort of formal "breckenridge program" existed, he made it all up on the fly to satisfy whatever sick urges he had. it wasnt 25% this and 16% that, AR was never going to reach 75% approval and "graduate", it was all just a device so he could rape his stepdaughter.

[ZOOL]

Horribly disgusting,.. I feel like vomitting:puke:

Actually...our depraved society makes me "feel like vomitting".

I blame the United States Supreme Court Justices of thirty years ago for our current depravity. Although we were a nation of liberal sinners, we were still in control of laws regarding obscenity, lewdness, and pornography. Those erudite justices threw us a mean curve when they said that it was up to a local community to define what was acceptable, and what wasn't.

I wish I could remember the exact ruling, but... it's stupidity digusted me so much that I have blocked almost everything having to do with that kind of reasoning since then.

This is just heart wrenching,I sometimes can not understand how people can want or crave these things in life,I have been learning a lot from being on this site,some of it makes me ill. I have not went to the site in reference to the equipment because I have trouble with getting things like that out of my head and I have enough stuff there that I wish would go away.

Great point about MJ sister...I have this sick feeling in my gut this story is going to be much worse then we think....BIG FAMILY SECERTS......could it be possible that MJ's sister & MJ were still sexual with each other??? Some times the abused feel very loyal to their abuser and it can go on even as adults......pure speculation but just a theroy as to why MJ's sister wouldn't have warned Denise..maybe because she was still "with" MJ so to speak and it was continuing...she may have been protecting him??????

[DianeB]

I don't use myspace so haven't been able to do much exploring there, but I have a question for those who have.

The myspace account with the fake 'skittlemeup' posts - is there any evidence that Brooke EVER used that account herself?

[miss lisa]

MJ's verbage in the emails could be very interesting as compared to the slang in the urban dictionary:

Africa - After ****king, Rest In a Cool Area

:eek:Safari - 1.When you go online to look at no specific type of porn and you just let the links take you through an erotic maze of spyware infected porn sites.

:eek:2. Starting an erotic internet adventure by going to a free gallary porn site and clicking on a minimum of ten links and/or thumbnails before your allowed to stop and choose which site you want best.

Hunt - someone (male) with long hair and acting like a c**t.(hairyc**t=hunt)

there maybe something to this lingo. just like the "skittles" (this one I knew before going to the dictionary).

Something I'm wondering also, does his sister have children and if so, did she let MJ be around them?

It's been said MJ's father is now dead, what about his mother is she still living?

The media may not have much to work with. The FBI may of asked all family members to not speak with reporters. Community outrage etc etc

I think MJ had AR programmed to the hilt to cover his azz in the event he was found out. He probably threatened to kill the entire family & make her watch / then blame her. Horrible things only his perverted, twisted mind could come up with. MJ COA at any & all costs.

[miss lisa]

You think these entire emails were written in code?

I certainly am not saying it absolutely is but to an extent I do believe it is very possible. example: "skittles" "safari" "panama".

If it is a porn ring that is involved here. I do believe that they do have their "own" verbage and code that they use with each other that very possibly COULD carry over into communications with others.

There are thumbs up and thumbs down on how many agree or disagree with the "slang" on each definition in the urban dictionary.

I've always thought that RSO need a tatoo put on there nose where the people of the world could see they were RSO. So there would be no doubt who or what the charge had been.

If these perverts can't be trusted & many decide not to register, it would be a very simple way to keep track of them. Harsh punishment maybe / but would save needless deaths.

If these perverts can't be trusted & many decide not to register, it would be a very simple way to keep track of them. Harsh punishment maybe / but would save needless deaths.

I totally agree! If they are going to be set free in society then they need to be physically identifiable as a sex offender and if they are a child predator. AND with some form of implant that keeps the law informed as to their whereabouts. Our women and children need to be safe and aware of what & who is around them.

We now have a name of the probation officer who said MJ was a "probation success story".

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,380541,00.html

(snip)
Corrections Commissioner Rob Hofmann said that a probation officer had recommended in 2004 that Jacques be discharged from probation, after not supporting a release request the year before.

"Mr. Jacques has satisfied and fulfilled all case specific conditions of probation put in place to reduce his risk of re-offense," wrote probation officer Richard Kearney.

The media may not have much to work with.

there is plenty of very telling information in the affidavits that are public that has not been discussed AT ALL in the media. the media has reported on other information from those same affidavits, but made no mention of much of the most "interesting" stuff (for lack of a better term).

I've been wondering why they haven't reported on that myself. :waitasec:
Perhaps because the content was a bit too graphic?

[Hailiejade77]

I don't use myspace so haven't been able to do much exploring there, but I have a question for those who have.

The myspace account with the fake 'skittlemeup' posts - is there any evidence that Brooke EVER used that account herself?

not sure considering that all her myspaces are private. I know that the FBI will be able to tell when it was created,.. where it was created,.. and when and where it was accessed last. I am pretty sure they said it was accessed from MJ's house after she was reported missing. (accessed by MJ to look like she "ran off")

[becca]

Yes they would have a FIELD DAY but OUR children are dying each and everyday.... I think we as a country need to choose the lesser of the two evils....
I agree, but women need to pay attention to the warning signs too, they also need to be more diligent about the people around their children.

[liljim]

I've been wondering why they haven't reported on that myself. :waitasec:
Perhaps because the content was a bit too graphic?

that could explain some of it, and quite possibly some of AR's statements arent being reported because she can be considered another minor victim, but something as simple as where MJ refers to brooke as a threat, and says "this has to be done", i have not seen that reported anywhere and i have REALLY looked.

thats why it is annoying me that they have only referred to this as a kidnapping in "an attempt to initiate brooke into the sex ring", i realize that is what AR said but the affidavit that is public and contains the emails strongly suggests otherwise, there is no reason i know of that the media cannot report that, yet they are not doing so.

i have not yet seen a good explanation for this.

[Carrington]

Just my opinion, but, I am not looking forward to Denise and Cassandra raking in millions from the state for their own blindness and complicity. I don't believe James Bennett deserves the money either.

I do not think Denise has a low IQ, she has and had good paying jobs, with some authority. Cassandra and grandma may be a different story.

I do believe the state is responsible for releasing him, but I don't want to see the family profit. The only way I can see this not happening is to charge Denise and Cassandra for negligence.

I feel they are keeping it quiet at the request of LE. If the lurid and graphic details become widely known... in our sensationalist media....it seems like it would be a HUGE story... by the time it gets to trial, the creeps might be able to claim they could not get fair trial because the case is so notoriously well-known. So, that's a good thing. I hope they dot every "I" and cross every "t" so there's no way any case against any of them can be thrown out on technicalities.

I too have been surprised though, that even somewhat locally, a lot of people don't know the really horrible details, because they haven't read the affadavits, only the news stories.

[becca]

I've been wondering why they haven't reported on that myself. :waitasec:

Mainstream media will only go so far in reporting the "details". These will make a grown man sick... so until trial I don't look for them to report on the facts as we know them.

[Amster]

There was a mention on Fox News that the e-mails might be written in code.....but, I only heard it once.

A.R. in one e-mail did seem to be issuing orders. I don't know what's up with that. Almost makes me think she didn't write it....

[Hailiejade77]

You think these entire emails were written in code?

Could be completely possible considering if anyone else accessed the emails they would have no idea what they were actual talking about. Say a passerby glanced at either of them looking at their emails,.. they would have no clue or no red flags. But if you say what some of these words mean on the screen you would instantly take a double take I would think. JMO

That is EXACTLY what they should do. If they are allowed to walk around with the rest of us normal peole we should be able to tell who is one and who isn't!

I am also annoyed that media and so forth keep referring to it as a "myspace"-related case, and warning that we need to keep our kids safe on the internet. WE DO, but Brooke was not kidnapped by anyone she met on MySpace, if anything, in conjunction with this case we should be warning about keeping children away from known SOs and being aware that dangerous people can be in your own family. MJ manipulated Brooke's account, she did not run off with an internet "friend"!

[Medea]

The media is lazy,they report what AP reports or what they pull up on google. I found out after following a few cases that very few at least TV reporters read actual documents, that is why inaccuracies exist and then they are compounded by being reported multiple times....everyone reports what everyone else reports and no one has the time or money these days to dig deeper. The local papers usually do the best job.

I don't think AR is smart enough to write her emails in code, but that's just me.

IMO the Feds released the affidavidts for a reason, they could easily have filed them under seal because they involve multiple minor victims, they didn't.

[liljim]

i dont think there is any code present in the emails, these people are not that bright.

i can never recall the media as a whole having delicate sensibilities regarding releasing graphic details in cases like this. and as i mentioned, there are details that are not graphic that seem worthy of mention.

maybe i dont follow trials closely often enough and my impression is wrong, but i can recall many terrible cases, in the past and recently, where grisly details were broken (long before trials) as affidavits became public.

[liljim]

we are on the same page medea, i keep checking all the vermont paper and tv websites thinking some local reporter will break this stuff, nothing yet that i have seen.

[VTNance]

I agree. Though I agree the media shouldn't report everything in the affidavits, they should at least be keeping people on the "right track". The people that are just watching the news following the case have a whole different story than we do (at least from the news I've seen). I figured Nancy Grace would be all over this, as she was with the polygamist story.

[VTNance]

I don't think AR is smart enough to write her emails in code, but that's just me.

AR's mails seemed real to me, they had spelling errors and such that seemed consistent with being written by a schoolgirl, a different voice than the others from "C" etc..... can't imagine MJ sitting thinking all that out when he was trying to cover his azz.... or that he wrote months of fake e-mails in advance..... If he had been thinking that far ahead he would have just deleted/destroyed them!!!! Thank goodness he wasn't that smart

[SuziQ]

DA's will only put the least amount of info into affidavits necessary to obtain an arrest. They will not show all their cards before trial. There is much more info that hasn't been made public.

Investigative reporting has been gone for years now. Reporters and editors are too scared of the legal liability involved in reporting their own info they obtain. They only report verbatim quotes and releases given to them by the authorities and official sources involved.

Did any of the local posters ever say how long they thought AR and Juvenile 2 had been dating? THat would be a pretty good clue as to the liklihood that he had any idea what was going on or was just a dumb kid dating the wrong girl.

The MySpace entry looked like it was written by a schoolgirl too. And we know it wasn't, it was a grown man.

I'm not so sure that AR wrote ALL of the emails herself. We also only have what LE was able to recover from the MJ's work laptop. There's no telling what was on the home PC. (That hasn't been recovered yet has it?)

IMO, it looks like not only was MJ setting up the boyfriend, he may have also been setting up AR to take the blame for Brooke's murder.

You know come to think of it. MJ did say that he had all of the girls give him their myspace accounts passwords to be on his computer. Maybe that goes with emails as well,...:waitasec: It COULD be possible that some of them weren't from AR. She did say that she wrote them. But maybe the ones we aren't getting she said she didn't. JMO Who really knows?

[nanandjim]

Who is Corey, mentioned in the emails? Was "Sam" supposed to be Juv 2's friend? Had Brooke ever met him?

After reading the emails, I think that MJ was up in his room perhaps setting up the machine or getting ready for Brooke. I think that he came downstairs and that AR helped him subdue and tie up Brooke. I do not think that Brooke just willingly went upstairs with him.

I think that AR was minimizing her role whenever possible.

Here is what gets me,.. the pastor said that funeral and flowers were donated. And then on some news websites there is a "donation set up" to help pay for the funeral costs. I don't understand that if it is already paid for?! :confused:
Maybe they mean cost to actual bury. But I was under the impression they can't bury until they are paid.

[liljim]

ok, the times argus site reported a story with virtually all the details from the emails and its still up on their site, that is the only place i have found them.

they didnt make any commentary on them, just reported them in a sort of bullet list.

[SUPI]

Everywhere you look on these threads you see that the internet played a big roll in this and other cases of it's type. It seems to me that it is past time that the problem is addressed. Here are some ideas and I'd like to see what all of you think.

We have special courts to take care of various subjects such as bankruptcy, divorce, and other crimes. Why not a special court for SO so that the judges, lawyers, and others will be up to speed on this crime, criminal, and law?

Hackers have brought down big sites on the internet such as Ebay and Amazon. Why can't these molester sites be taken down when found? Maybe form a national task force that will police the internet and take the offender sites down.

Credit cards enable these POS to make purchases for pictures, and "tools" of their trade. MJ purchased some "tools" for use on his victims in this case and I think he is selling too. Why not have credit card companies refuse cards to those who have been convicted of this crime? Using offenders lists this should be pretty easy. This way they will be slowed down and the US mail will have more opportunities to track these POS.

AT&T and AOL block child porn sites and this needs to spread to all providers.

When found, I don't care what state they are from, we need a National Jessica's law. Also when parents allow their children to be with SO on a published list they too should be held legally responsible.

These are just a couple of ideas. I'd like feedback please. I am planning to take the final ideas to my State Rep. I'm tired of reading about the hell our children have experienced due to complacency. Thanks for your time.

[lightinthedark]

The MySpace entry looked like it was written by a schoolgirl too. JMO

When I read the Myspace entry, I felt the wording wasn't of a 12 year old girl. I mean, sure, there were shortcuts for words used, but the flow of it seemed a bit advanced. I have neices and nephews in their teens (very intelligent at that) and still, the flow of their emails are choppy including a lot of mispelled words, on top of shortcut words. Teenagers are so quick when they type and rarely re-read for acuracy, it's type and send. I think MJ thought too much about the wording, making sure to use the short cuts for every word possible, which is why they found he went into edit the blog after he wrote it. Just my opinion.

[SeriouslySearching]

I agree with both you and medea on that point. :rolleyes:Me...four! The only "code" I saw was a reference to the "phone company" which I would guess is some fictional faction of the "Breck" group.

I think the reason that Africa and Safaris were mentioned is to twist AR's perception of the fake E into believing he was a world traveler plus to explain why she had not met him yet. Nothing more. It was pure fiction to "entice" AR to keep believing he was this exotic man who was to be her husband soon. (Remember the baby dream.) Even Scott Peterson created that whole story about being in Europe for the same reason...to make him seem more "interesting and well traveled" to Amber.

[VTNance]

The MySpace entry looked like it was written by a schoolgirl too. And we know it wasn't, it was a grown man.

Hmmm, I thought the MySpace entry sounded like it was written by a man trying to sound like a schoolgirl, frankly. It sounded very different from the AR mails.

I thought that too. Like it was deliberate. Also the part that said "if people only knew the real me" like he was making Brooke out to be a bad person when in fact he was the bad person.

[miss lisa]

This whole thing has just bothered me terribly and i never meant to offend anyone by my strong opinions when I first signed on. If I did I apologize. But I have dreamed about this poor child since she went missing. I try and eliminate the images in my head of Brooke's final hours but I just can't, I can't. I know that there are animals out there in our world that thrive on behaviors that in my wildest dreams I could not imagine, but though I know it exists, I will never in my life understand it, never. Brooke was 12 years old. AR who was also a victim of this man was 9 years old when her abuse started. How can you take away their innocence??!! How?? Brooke’s beautiful eyes will forever haunt me. We become immune in some sense to all the violence in our society...but there are some cases that capture your heart for one reason or another. Natalee captured my heart from day one. Another was Jennifer Moore, the teen who went clubbing in New York and was found in a dumpster days later. And now Brooke. Who knows why we are drawn to a certain case when there are so many. There are just cases we will never forget for the rest of our lives and this is one of them for me. I just don't understand why this happens.

I do believe in the death penalty. I really do. Especially for child rapists! I know a lot of you probably disagree with me and can't justify the collective sanctioning of another's life with no consequences. However...I have to tell you...if anyone ever hurt my my son or daughter like they hurt Brooke, I would kill them. Send me to jail...I couldn't function without them anyway and I understand I would be convicted of murder...I could live with that death on my own shoulders and still face my Maker and His judgement. It would be a personal decision with consequences I was willing to accept both here and in the next world and not a collective judgement with no personal consequences...does that make sense? But if I wasn't given the opportunity to issue my own judgement that I would take responsibility for...I want my government to put him to death… not on death row...isolated...cushioned...spending millions of our tax dollars studying law books and making appeals or I would want him smack dab in the middle of the prison population amongst other predators like himself...and let him see how long he could hold his own. Never to step out a free man. I could live with locking away the culprits in jail....culprits like Brooke's perpetrators forever...and leaving the rest for God. Live or die by the hands of your peers who would also take responsibility for their actions as I would.....either would seem a more appropriate punishment than the living safe and sound on death row for decades.

If think every adult who knew ANTHING at all about MJ, AR and RG should be punished for failing Brooke (and AR) beginning with her mother, aunt grandmother and possibly even dad. Now I'm certainly not giving MJ and RG a pass...I stated above what I truly believe should happen to them. They are the be all end all of this horrid reality but they had people who enabled them to be what they are. We as a country need to start giving the victims the RIGHTS that they so justly deserve. Child rapists have no rights. Our country has gotten so confused with the help of the ACLU over who has rights. Child rapists and child murderers have no rights! Our children have no rights in their hands.

Sorry for the rant! I will step off my soap box now. Just know that my heart aches for OUR CHILDREN! We need to give their RIGHTS back to them. Give them a voice again. Give Brooke a VOICE!

I am 100% for a special court for sexual offenses, they are a unique crime with a generally unique set of evidentiary challenges....no witnesses, physical evidence either lacking or explained as 'consensual', victim blaming is common, many misperceptions, etc.

I am not really supportive of a national jessica's law because almost all child sex offenders are someone the child knows, not a John Cuey who steals the child from her bed and then kills her. There usually isn't DNA, its the child's word against the adult...the victims are often troubled themselves, making them not always the most credible...I think this will have the opposite affect...fewer cases successfully prosecuted.

You will never be able to get support for refusing credit cards to sex offenders.

As a not very computer savvy person myself, I also don't understand why these sites can't be hacked, blocked and taken down, whether its a matter of resources or technology.

I also have a big problem with plea bargains, because they allow the rapist/sex offender to get his or her actual crimes out of the record...he's guilty of 1st degree sexual assault but pleads to 3rd degree...so the truth of his crime is not really on his record. I'm not sure how to fix this, though.

I also think we need more public education, people don't understand sex crimes. Everyone is so surprised that Jacques has a nice house because we all still assume that these guys are the dregs of society, even though intellectually we know that is false. All of the myths about sex crimes still persist and until we fix that the DA's in all states are not going to have confidence they can convict these dirtbags on the top charges.

Everywhere you look on these threads you see that the internet played a big roll in this and other cases of it's type. It seems to me that it is past time that the problem is addressed. Here are some ideas and I'd like to see what all of you think.

We have special courts to take care of various subjects such as bankruptcy, divorce, and other crimes. Why not a special court for SO so that the judges, lawyers, and others will be up to speed on this crime, criminal, and law? The laws need to change before we can consider "special courts". There are too many loopholes, the lack of consistent laws, and the means to enforce them.

Hackers have brought down big sites on the internet such as Ebay and Amazon. Why can't these molester sites be taken down when found? Maybe form a national task force that will police the internet and take the offender sites down. They are doing this on a daily basis now. As you can see, it is only scratching the surface. As soon as one site is down another opens. Child porn is a billion dollar business and as long as there are people willing to pay...they will find ways to avoid the law. They can afford to hire the most computer savy individuals to insure they can continue.

Credit cards enable these POS to make purchases for pictures, and "tools" of their trade. MJ purchased some "tools" for use on his victims in this case and I think he is selling too. Why not have credit card companies refuse cards to those who have been convicted of this crime? Using offenders lists this should be pretty easy. This way they will be slowed down and the US mail will have more opportunities to track these POS. They will simply steal CCs (credit cards) and use those. They already create fake identities to continue their practices. There is no way to prevent them from getting CCs after a conviction. (I am sure there is also a law protecting their rights to have credit, too!)

AT&T and AOL block child porn sites and this needs to spread to all providers. This will never work. Looks good on paper and sounds good in the media...but it will do no good in stopping them. You put up one block and they find a way around it. Remember, they hire the best to keep them up and running. Time is money for them. It is a business.

When found, I don't care what state they are from, we need a National Jessica's law. Also when parents allow their children to be with SO on a published list they too should be held legally responsible. I agree that the laws need to be changed to include people who knowingly subject children to people who have already been deemed to be a danger to their children. The law should also include people like the man who did the home inspect on MJ and knew he was breaking his parole/probation by living with children under the age of 16 yo. The laws are in place...but not being enforced.


These are just a couple of ideas. I'd like feedback please. I am planning to take the final ideas to my State Rep. I'm tired of reading about the hell our children have experienced due to complacency. Thanks for your time.Sorry to burst your bubble here. We need new laws, old laws revamped, and ways to fund them being enforced. It comes down to manpower and money. I wouldn't be running to the State Reps just yet...unless it is to demand THEY come up with some money to tackle these issues.

[liljim]

yeah i will never understand it either.

i used to post on a messageboard dedicated to mixed martial arts and boxing. fairly regularly people would embed videos of street fights, or clips from the news where innocent people are attacked and beaten up.

while i can tolerate the fairly high level of violence inherent in mixed martial arts and boxing (because it is fair and agreed upon between the two parties), i cannot stomach the violence in those public street fight/assault videos at all. it makes me feel very unsettled and frustrated.

thankfully this is because i am sympathetic to the victims and cannot stomach seeing people victimized. to think that so many people can watch those videos and laugh at them, or even get a thrill out of them, is foreign to me and very sad.

just like trying to imagine sexually assaulting someone seems impossible to me, to be able to enjoy that kind of thing while the other person is right there terrified, its so terrible that i really do feel bad for anyone that is wired that way. that doesnt make them any less vile, and certainly doesnt mitigate my feelings that they need to be locked away for life.

[SailorMoon]

I agree. I have a 14yo son who uses spelling on his text messages and myspace that make me cringe. Like, uh, every word is misspelled- but purposefully. The skittle me up message that he wrote I could tell that he wrote it. He only abreviated words like I do, like 2 instead of to, and 4 instead of for. Like I said if you have a teen that uses that tm spelling (that makes me cringe) you'll know what I mean. Skool instead of school..I mean come on, my kids know how to spell!! Gets on my nerves to no end. Everything is like - "muh fone is actin strng"

When I read the Myspace entry, I felt the wording wasn't of a 12 year old girl. I mean, sure, there were shortcuts for words used, but the flow of it seemed a bit advanced. I have neices and nephews in their teens (very intelligent at that) and still, the flow of their emails are choppy including a lot of mispelled words, on top of shortcut words. Teenagers are so quick when they type and rarely re-read for acuracy, it's type and send. I think MJ thought too much about the wording, making sure to use the short cuts for every word possible, which is why they found he went into edit the blog after he wrote it. Just my opinion.

One thing I would like to see happen is all state use a uniform sex-offender registry. Have an index to what the various charges mean etc. That way anyone can pull up the registry from any state and know exactly what the offense is and what the threat level is. My state registry is horrible, it mixes in the 17 yr old who had consensual sex with his 14 yr old girlfriend right along with the man who molested a 5 yr old child. While both are not a good thing they are very very different in my opinion.

Some states show place of employment, type of car they have registried etc. I think that is wonderful for certain level of offenders. The heck with the offenders rights to privacy etc, they committed a horrible horrible crime and are no longer entitled to privacy in my opinion.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. Quite frankly, I don't think people convicted of statutory rape involving teens 14+ who agree they consented to sex even belong on the sex offender registry, nor do I think in most cases the older party should even be prosecuted. I don't care if a 22 year old guy has a 15 year old girlfriend.

There are a lot of sex offenders who should never see the light of day again...I saw a case in Oregan or Wash state where the guy is a serial stranger rapist and every MD who has been consulted gives him a 75% chance of re-offending...yet, believe it or not, the parole board wants to release him?!!?!?!?! A serial stranger rapist who everyone agrees is going to reoffend.

Let's put out ALL information on the convicted perps who are deemed to have been a danger to another person regardless of the age. The guy who got caught peeing on the side of the road isn't what we need to fear...it is the guy who is caught molesting, raping, torturing, and otherwise endangering another person who should lose their right to privacy or a normal life thereafter. They have been proven to be a danger for life. If they refuse to keep them locked up in prison, we need to find a way to keep them locked out of our lives some way. The information forthcoming on them is horrible and the very reason they can abscond so easily. They just don't leave a forwarding address!

Just my opinion, but, I am not looking forward to Denise and Cassandra raking in millions from the state for their own blindness and complicity. I don't believe James Bennett deserves the money either.

I do not think Denise has a low IQ, she has and had good paying jobs, with some authority. Cassandra and grandma may be a different story.

I do believe the state is responsible for releasing him, but I don't want to see the family profit. The only way I can see this not happening is to charge Denise and Cassandra for negligence.

I want to say that jim is not looking to make money off his daughters death. He is trying to heal with the family. All he wants is changes made to the laws and will work to get that done.

I just do not think there is a sex ring going on. I think it was made up purely to put fear in AR.

Sorry to burst your bubble here. We need new laws, old laws revamped, and ways to fund them being enforced. It comes down to manpower and money. I wouldn't be running to the State Reps just yet...unless it is to demand THEY come up with some money to tackle these issues.

We saw that first hand in the Brianna Denison case didn't we? For everyone not familiar with that case, Nevada had passed a SO dna law without the funding to process and log the dna. So basically nothing was being done. Also many of these laws are voluntary participation with no legal recourse, manpower and money to force them to comply. Just look at all the non-compliant SO's out there. They are still living amongst us.

Most laws passed are not funded and do not stand up to the supreme court test. It's very easy to pass a law, but difficult to implement. Not that we shouldn't try. But not much foresight is given when they are written.

I agree with you. I don't think that there are any codes from MJ or from AR. The saddest thing, besides sexually assaulting AR for years and years, is that MJ used AR as his accomplice in the "take down and tie up" of young Brooke. MJ positioned himself as a victim of Breckenridge, too. He was just taking "orders." How pathetic.

I don't understand pedophilia, but I guess that each pedophile has an age preference. I guess that AR was just too old for his taste. Why else would he risk what he did? Apparently, it was more important to him to take down this young girl than to quit while he was ahead. It just doesn't make sense to me.

They did come up with the funding from private citizens and businesses to finally run the backlogged DNA, but the problem still exists across the country. Labs are not given funding to carry out what the laws are allowing them to do. It is a maze created of the lack of manpower and funding across the board which is being overlooked by our states.

Hey Brooks Aunt. Can you tell me what Jim knew about MJ. Specifically, did he know that he was a pedophile, meaning that he was actually attracted to young girls? I am just wondering if he was totally aware of the type of predator that MJ is/was. It just seems to me that Jim would have definitely taken more action if he thought that his daughter were in danger of being molested by MJ.

Is it possible that Brooke discovered the relationship between MJ and AR (perhaps, by AR mentioning something)? MJ then couldn't take the chance of Brooke telling someone. I just cannot figure out why she was targeted and why on earth he would murder her.

[SuziQ]

What I fear is going to happen in Vermont is a bunch of knee jerk feel good laws are going to be passed.They will be laws that makes the legislature look and feel good and won't accomplish anything.

What would be a great start would be to actually enforce the current laws on the books. MJ's original sentence was pretty average. The US average is 15 years for kidnapping. The only problem is he was able to get it pared down to three years served and a couple of years probation.

I agree. The system for whatever reason seems unable to distinguish the true predator from the common criminal, sentences, paroles, etc. are random. You can get more prison time for theft or drug possession than forcible rape. Predators like Jacques do less time than some convicted of statutory rape when consent was not disputed...it makes no sense.

I also agree that the DNA backlog is a total travesty. This doesn't take anything but money, no laws, technology, nothing but money for the tests to be performed and put in the database.

Does anyone find it strange that a judge would release MJ from probation based on the fact he was married and had a child, when the condition of his probation stated he couldn't be around children under the age of 16?

Thank you, Brooks Aunt. I feel for all of the poor parents in this case. Hindsight is always 20/20, and I am certain that if any one of the parents would have it to do over again they would NEVER let their children anywhere near MJ or RG. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who want to - even NEED to - point the finger and place the blame somewhere, and the parents of poor Brooke and poor AR are easy targets.

I guess I agree to a degree, I just don't think all sex criminals can be lumped together. Some pedophiles abuse dozens of children, some only abuse their own children, some stick to pornography and don't abuse anyone, some few kill their victims as well as abusing them. The teacher who has sex with his underage student is not the same as the man who abuses his pre adolescent step daughter.

I also agree that the DNA backlog is a total travesty. This doesn't take anything but money, no laws, technology, nothing but money for the tests to be performed and put in the database.They recently decided to close the Lab in Tulsa and send ALL of our testing to OKC which would have further slowed the process here. This was circumvented for now, but technology does require expertise and qualified persons to perform the testing. You then have to consider the laboratory itself, the upkeep, the staffing, and purchasing of the latest equipment to carry out the testing etc.. As the science grew and exploded with DNA used in criminal cases, the crime labs did not. They are still understaffed severely and underfunded. This needs to be corrected from a Federal level, imo.

the issue of the seperated parents and their individual concerns reminds me of another case, jessyca i believe was the girl's name and one of the kidnapper's names was oliver (not sure if that is first or last).

the parents were seperated and they disagreed on how much of a creep/threat this oliver guy was, so the father lets the girl go on a daytrip with him and of course it turns out the guy had been assaulting the girl for some time and he abducts her that day.

terrible situation all around. the girl lived but with significant phsyical and emotional trauma.

The UNT System, Center for Human Identification.s (CHI) mission is to provide
identification and forensic analysis of human remains, establish a basis for future
identification of persons reported missing and provide educational services to the
medico-legal community. Our facility provides collection kits for family reference
samples and submission kits for unidentified human remains at no charge to law
enforcement agencies, medical examiners and coroners across the country. Since the
center became operational, CHI has an identification percentage of 32% for human
remains analyzed using nuclear and mitochondrial DNA methods and uploaded into the
FBI.s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS). DNA analysis using nuclear and
mitochondrial methods is the most accurate method available today for identifying
remains.
In addition to the DNA testing provided by the CHI, anthropological services are
provided through a forensic anthropology laboratory directed by Dr. Harrell Gill- King, a
nationally known board certified forensic anthropologist. The anthropological services
include examination of skeletal remains, trauma analysis, estimation of date of death,
physical abnormalities of remains...................


The CHI is funded by grants awarded through the National Institute of Justice. Services
are offered at no charge to the following:
1. Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies
2. The medic legal community, (i.e. medical examiners, coroner and others
assigned with the responsibility for the examination of human remains
3. National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
4. Other regional or specialized agencies dealing with the missing
5. Criminal justice entities
Representatives from our facility will be happy to meet with appropriate state entities to
design and implement protocols for the collection and submission of all reference and
remains samples. This is offered on a state-wide basis through the utilization of each
state.s available monetary and physical resources using Washington State as the model
program. (<---maybe this is what I'm not getting SS?)

If these perverts can't be trusted & many decide not to register, it would be a very simple way to keep track of them.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, those of us with blended family do know that the Dad (in particular) usually is the last to know what is going on. Jim does come across as a person who deeply cared about his daughter. It looked like he was holding hands with Cassandra at the funeral/wake. She was on one side and his wife was on the other. I don't think that I would be holding hands with my ex-partner in this particular situation.

Have you ever met AR? If so, what was your impression of her? I wonder if she compartmentalized that one part of her life and acted like a normal child when she was with others?
