MN Man who Posed as a Woman on Social Media convinces 178 High School Boys to send him Nude Photos pleads Guilty to 3 Child Porn Charges in Federal Court ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 32 year old Anton Alexander Martynenko of Minnnesota.  That's his mug shot below....



This creepy bastard was arrested by the Feds on a variety of child pornography related offenses (including two (2) counts of production of child porn, one (1) count of advertising child porn, three (3) counts of receipt of child porn and one (1) count of possession of child porn), has pleaded guilty to three (3) of them and will now serve a minimum of fifteen (15) years (with a potential eighty (80) year max) in federal prison (where I predict that he will make a bevy of new, er, friends...).




Anton reportedly victimized at least 178 high school boys from all over the country by posing online as a young woman and seducing the boys to send him nude photos of themselves.  Per the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota Anton first started preying on boys in 2011, approaching them on social media and identifying himself under aliases such as "Marie Anna" and "Courtney Jansgen", claiming to be a young woman who had just moved to Minnesota from Illinois who was looking for new friends, or that he worked for a nude modeling agency or that he was a college student at the University of Minnesota, but in any event Anton would follow up by sending the boys nude photos of the women that he was claiming to be in an effort to get his victims to send photos back.




Prosecutors claim that Anton actually performed sex acts on two (2) of his victims after separately convincing them to come to his house, and in one (1) instance by threatening to publicly release nude images of the boy if he didn't comply.  





Anton's home in Eagan, Minnesota was searched and authorities seized a variety of electronic devices, including a thumb drive that reportedly contained folders of nude images and videos that were organized by name and age, and some of which also named the victims' high schools.  As is the case with many criminal cases, Anton's quick guilty plea resulted in reduced charges (he was not formally charged with any criminal sexual conduct) but still, and as afore stated, he is guaranteed to serve a minimum of of fifteen (15) years (with a potential eighty (80) year max) in federal prison, where poetic (or Hammurabi-style, depending upon your vantage) justice is damn near certain to occur.





Memo to the Folks:  Forgetting child porn... Social Media is full of dangers and pitfalls, and you may well not be communicating with whom you think that you are speaking...


  

Memo to the Folks contiunued:  In an effort for you to know and understand these potential pit falls I've attached a link to both Haber, PA's YouTube Webisode on "Social Media and the Law" (click below) and Haber PA's more detailed Blogpost on the matter (click here).

PA Mechanical Engineer is Arrested for DUI & Child Endangerment after a Car Crash while she was allegedly holding an 8 month old Baby on her Lap




Meet 32 year old Erika Rizzon, mom to a beautiful little boy.  That's her below...






Per her Facebook and LinkedIn pages she's an educated and successful modern family woman who lives in PA, having graduated from Columbia University and working as a mechanical engineer.  By all objective standards Erika has it all.





But if accounts of her early arrest for both DUI-accident and endangering the welfare of a child are true (Erika's mug shot is below)...





then that one poor decision - to drink and drive - is a grand, albeit tragic - example of just how easily bad things can happen to seemingly good people.





Per witness reports Erika's car struck a curb in Ephrata, Pennsylvania around 10:15 pm on a Saturday night.   Standing alone this is innocuous but, coupled with reported witness accounts that at that time Erika had her eight (8) month old baby sitting on her lap (instead of being strapped into a car seat), well that's a problem (especially for an engineer...).





Although they all agree on the facts of the arrest none of the articles that I read tell us the basis of Erika's DUI arrest so I have no reported facts upon which to comment about her decision making on that fateful evening.  I am going to optimistically hope that she was not impaired and that the cop made a bad arrest, but, even with that benefit of the doubt, it seems that there's no denying the child endangerment issue, proving, once again, that all the academic accolades in the world do not smart decision making guarantee.




Memo to the Folks:  You do not need to be an Ivy League graduate to know that child car seats exist (and are required by law in every State) for very good reasons.  Please use them.




When it comes to the subject of drinking and driving, the best advice that you are ever going to hear is:  "Don't do it!  Get a DD (Designated Driver), not a DUI".


Be smart{er than Joseph Maine}: Don't drink and drive, but, if you do, just say "NO{thing}", don't blow (in FL your 2nd subsequent refusal is a crime) and call me stat at 305-381-8686, 305-798-2220 or 1-888-SHARK-8-1.

New Zealand's Auckland Airport Security Screeners find a huge "Huntsman Spider" hiding inside of the folded tent of an Air Passenger from Australia ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




It's easy to hate airport screeners, especially the TSA.





But I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't be hating on them if they happened to find (before either it found you or you found it) a huge Huntsman spider surreptitiously hiding inside of your folded tent / luggage... and that is precisely what recently happened at New Zealand's Auckland Airport... screeners found a huge huntsman spider that was hiding inside of a traveler's tent after it had apparently caught a free flight from Australia into New Zealand.


Take a closer look....





That bad boy (or girl) is huge (at least as far as I am concerned).  In case you were wondering here are some Huntsman spider facts...


HUNTSMAN SPIDER FACTS 

1.  They’re very fast. The average huntsman spider can travel at one meter per second.
2.  Huntsman spiders can attain a leg span of between 10 and 12 inches.
3.  Often referred to as the wood spider or a crab spider because of its appearance and leg shape.
4.  They come in different colors and have distinctive patterns on their underside.
5.  The large spiders feed on insect pests such as cockroaches.
6.  They can jump high and far.
7.  Although they don't pose a risk to humans, there is a risk they may carry diseases with them.
8. Their bite is non-toxic but very painful.




Posting the image online the Ministry for Primary Industries in New Zealand thanked the airport security team for preventing the spider from entering the country stating on Twitter: "#Huntsman spider found in tent from #Australia by #biosecurity staff at @AKL_airport! Thanks team!"




When it comes to the subject of "Cops, Courts and Constitutions" you should always have a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney who is focused on serving your interests.  While we can't stop the cops from arresting you, as your legal counsel Michael A. Haber, PA will ensure that your rights are respected from the moment that representation begins and that any abuses which may have occurred beforehand are remedied.

SoCar Woman is Caught Shoplifting $40 worth of "Condoms, Lubricant a Bra & Panties" from Walmart & Bites Off Loss Prevention Officer's Finger ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 23 year old Carolynn Wright of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  That's her, below, posing in an apparent bid to be sexy for her Facebook following....





Judging from her social media portfolio she must've been running short on cash and accessories, needing more undergarments in which to pose (and STD-prevention and ease-of-sex enhancement products)...






According to the police report (reproduced below and which you can see more up close and personal by clicking here), Walmart Loss Prevention Officers observed Carolynn leave the Myrtle Beach store without paying for $40.07 worth of items (to wit: a pack of condoms, lube, a bra and two pairs of panties).  Two (2) female LPO's followed Carolynn outside and tried to stop her from fleeing with her booty (and the loot too).  Carolynn had no intention of surrendering peacefully and a scuffle erupted between the three (3) women, during which Carolynn punched one (1) of the LPO's in the head causing her to bleed from the ear.  Carolynn then proceeded to chomp down on the other LPO's hand, biting off a piece of the woman's finger (which was later recovered by police).  When another customer who had witnessed the altercation tried to call 911 Carolynn allegedly grabbed that woman's phone and pulled her hair. It was then that police arrived, officers caught up with Carolynn, who resisted, again. The Walmart employee who had her finger bit off required stitches, and, unfortunately her finger tip was reportedly not able to be reattached.  



Carolynn, who apparently works as an exotic dancer, is no stranger to violence.  In March, 2015 she reportedly pleaded guilty to assault and battery charges after beating a coworker with a "clear plastic high-heeled shoe" at an unnamed gentleman's club in Myrtle Beach where she had worked as a stripper.  Carolynn's most recent mug shot is below...





Memo to the Folks:  Three (3) words... "Cost benefit analysis".  Over $40.04 worth of Walmart crap Carolynn faces a felony aggravated assault charge, a simply assault charge and theft / larceny charges.  I cannot speak to SoCar but had she been popped here in FL then she'd face a mandatory prison sentence for the permanent injury caused by biting off the tip of the LPO's finger.  





Memo to Carolyn Wright:   As a {former} dancer in a gentleman's club you should understand that this is sexy finger biting...





Memo to Carolyn Wright continued:   This (and what you did) is not...
