Oh, this guy is a piece of work. While he absconded, he'd post taunts on his MS. He is a total slimeball. He just happened to have the misfortune of showing up in my favorite local judge's courtroom. You don't tick Judge Mejia off. We've admired this judge for years, in the juvenile justice court, and were saddened to see him move over to the adult section. My DA friend keeps telling me that it's a "very good thing". I'm sure this won't shock many, but Shaun and his brother were charged with a hate crime a couple of years ago. I'll post a link to that article at the bottom of this post.
Medford man heads to prison for forcing prostitution on girl
http://www.mailtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100210/NEWS07/2100340
A Medford man who compelled a teenage girl to perform sex acts for money and drugs was sentenced today to just over six years in prison.
Shaun Patrick Temple, 24, pleaded guilty to two counts of compelling prostitution and was sentenced to 70 months for each. His sentences will run concurrently except for an addition six months tacked on by Jackson County Circuit Court Judge Lorenzo Mejia for Temple's taunting behavior toward the victim during the plea hearing. The total sentence is 76 months.
"That little wink and smile cost you half a year," Mejia said.........."

Medford police arrested Shaun Patrick Temple, 21, and Kevin Kaleb Temple, 24, brothers who share a home in the 1100 block of Niantic Street in Medford, on charges of harassment, disorderly conduct, assault and intimidation after they reportedly shouted racial slurs and physically confronted the black teenagers after driving past them on Riverside Avenue. Intimidation charges apply when victims of crimes are targeted because of race, color, religion, country of origin or sexual orientation........."
