< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Judge: Perverted Justice Founder 'Solicited Child Molestation'![]() VON PERV Xavier Sadly, it's not quite as deliciously ironic as it sounds: There's no evidence (yet) that Von Erck is a secret pedophile. The case stems from a rather novel legal theory pursued by Robert E. White, whose son Robert Gerald White was arrested for attempted child molestation and attempted statutory rape after a Dateline sting in Harris County, Georgia, last year. The elder White thinks that Von Erck, by posing as a 15-year-old girl during online chats with his son, actually solicited the younger White into showing up at the Dateline house for sex. And in Georgia, solicitation is a crime. Robert E. White's attorney, Gary Gerrard, went to a Georgia state judge last month seeking a warrant for Von Erck's arrest for criminal solicitation, and the judge, by and large, agreed: He issued an order stating that "there is probable cause to believe that Xavier Von Erck communicated with Robert Gerald White with intent that Robert Gerald White would engage in conduct constituting a felony." In other words, Von Erck wanted the younger White to break the law and tried to get him to do so, behavior that is usually considered criminal in Georgia. But the judge declined to issue the warrant, finding that there was no way the younger White could have actually committed the crime that Von Erck was soliciting him to commit—there was, after all, no 15-year-old girl to molest. But it might not be that simple. Gerrard and other sources familiar with Georgia criminal law say the judge plainly got it wrong. Georgia law clearly states that "it is no defense to a prosecution for criminal solicitation that the person solicited could not be guilty of the crime solicited." So if Von Erck were prosecuted for solicitation, he wouldn't be able to argue that he knew all along that no actual 15-year-old girl was going to be molested. "The law says the impossibility of committing the crime is not a defense," says Gerrard. What's more, White was charged with attempted molestation, a crime that he actually committed by showing up at the Dateline house. And that crime, the judge's order says, was solicited by Von Erck. "It seems clear here that Von Erck did intend for this man to commit a felony," said Robert D. Leonard II, a Georgia criminal defense attorney who maintains a blog on Georgia law. "The felony would be attempted child molestation." Gerrard says he is considering his options and may appeal the order. In a statement, NBC said, "We believe our newsgathering and activities in connection with "To Catch a Predator" fully complied with Georgia law." E-mailed for a response, Von Erck replied, "Thanks for contacting us for comment. Unfortunately, you're not a legitimate reporter, you're just a rather scummy fellow who writes for a tabloid rag. Other than being told that you're a scummy hack who resembles a stalker more than a journalist, we don't have any comment for you on this issue or any other issue." PREVIOUSLY Thank you, John Cook, for continuing to expose Phillip J. Eide aka Xavier Von Erck as the uneducated mongrel he is in real life.
Being mere citizens gives them no right to create child porn by using pictures of kids taken from web sites to create fake profiles. Greg Brainer aka Jay Alternative from Perverted Justice has admitted in court that he CREATES fake child porn profiles with photos taken from adoption sites in order to entice men with them. Posted by: ChiquitaJuanita on August 17, 2007 3:48 PM Come out, come out where ever you are, pedos. Try and use any legal tricks you can. We all want to know who you are and where you are, for we know what you are. You are the destroyers of lives and the robbers of childhood. You may think that in the post sexual revolution era, you can normalize your activities. Thank God, however, that everyone else understands the concept of "concenting adults". If any pedo wishes to remain in society, then they should find a way to control or inhibit their tendencies. If they don't, then I applaud any and all efforts to remove them from society. We see you, pedo, and there is nothing good about you. For everyone else, ask yourself this question. If you could cure all disease, but to do so you must torture to death one child, would you do it? If you answer no, then why would you tolerate anything from a child rapist? If you answered yes, then I truely hope that you are only a sociopath and not a pedophyle. Posted by: listener1022 on August 22, 2007 12:55 AM You have got to be joking. Von Erck is a "creepy, and exceedingly pudgy vigilante"???? I admit to catch a predator is creepy but duhhh - look at the content. It's about sexual predators. Really clever how you spin this around to make it almost seem like Von Erck is some sort of pedophile creep. It's almost as if you wish he would get caught red handed raping some poor child. It doesn't matter how these disgusting freaks get caught. Why do you care about the rights of pedophiles?? Would be or otherwise? These people destroy lives and all you can do is critique the entertainment value of the program. Don't you understand that if this program prevents even one child from having some monster destroy their life, it is well worth having to put up with CHris Hanson's nasally, hackneyed, repetitive performances. In other words, this is more important than art, ethical journalism (whatever that is these days), and media personality, or whether you find someone's physical attributes appealing or not. Perhaps John Cook would sing a different tune if one of his children, nephews, or nieces had their souls ripped apart by one of these monsters. I say expose and take these bastards down by any means necessary.

Posted by: Agent in SF on August 23, 2007 1:16 PM Listener, Fleshyglassbits, I ask that you use logic and empathy instead of pure, knee-jerk emotion to consider these criminals instead of people who should forever be banished from society, or worse. We should not tolerate these terrible crimes, but we should not respond by the murdering and massacring these criminals. Posted by: Beansca on August 24, 2007 8:16 PM |
