Crime Report for Saturday, Aug. 6

A man accused of attempting to castrate his girlfriend's 11-year-old son was convicted on multiple charges Friday and is facing at least 33 years in prison.

According to the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office, Todd Louis Lanford, 36, of the 2400 block of Cleveland Avenue, was found guilty by a jury of attempted malicious castration of privy member, several counts of felony child abuse, several counts of felony assault, felony child abuse, assault by strangulation, communicating threats, first degree sex offense and taking indecent liberties with a minor.

The assault took place in November 2008.

Lanford was sentenced to a range of 33 years to 44 years in prison.

Lanford made the news in January when he walked out of his trial and fled because he said he didn't think he would get a fair trial. The U.S. Marshal Service's Violent Fugitive Task Force arrested him at a motel the next day.

Hang him.

With a new rope.

I think he should be hung with barbed wire.

I wish I knew some very big burly men in whatever prison he ends up. I'd like to arrange for him, what he wanted to do to that poor kid.

Of course, knowing what prisons are like, it may just happen that way without my intervention. They don't generally go soft on child abusers.

Anyone know what his mental malfunction was?

By the balls.

So what I'm going to say is not going to be popular here.

I discovered about two months ago that Matthew Keyes, one of my former coworkers at my previous employer, is now a convicted child molester. He was caught and pled guilty. If you want the details of that incident, look at this Seattle PI article: http://inmff.net/vok

In response to that incident I wrote: "By demonizing Matt and those with tendencies like his, makes it all the less likely that they will seek and receive treatment. It is even possible Matt in some way wanted to get caught to stop his behavior. He worked for an Internet provider, he knows how it works under the hood, and he'd have the technical and resources to ensure that he actions were not traceable."

I don't know Todd Louis Lanford, but I'm quite sure he had qualities that made him valuable and important to the people in his life.

I knew Matt Keyes, and he was valuable and important in my work life, and a good guy to go out for a drink.

I know eunuch.org focuses on consensual castrations, etc, but the things you've said about Landford could also be said about those who would like to be castrated.

I'd give him the choice - give up the codes, or be executed. Slowly.

I figured I take about 5 years to kill him.

This is something that is totally unforgivable.

Anyone played half life 2?!......

Gordon freeman saves humanity from the Alien dimensional rift "combine's";

Failure to comply to these invading scum resulted in being taken to the Combine facility prison "Nova Prospekt";

(.......The facility is also shown to deal with processing humans through invasive surgery, either changing them into Combine Overwatch soldiers or into Stalkers, dismembered cyborg slaves used for menial labor.)

Anyone attempting to subject children to such horrid conditions and modify them deserve the same likewise.

And what better way than to turn them into "stalker's"

Great. You just advocated killing my friend. Please remind me to kick your dog if I ever meet you in person.

You said it. You were right.
