CSN Net Clean-Up: August Imposters
CSN Net Clean-Up is an effort to remove sex offenders from social networking sites like MySpace and Facebook. These sites generally do not allow sex offenders to create profiles.
These first few offenders are from Oklahoma.
CSN Net Clean-Up: Amanda Rae Howard
Amanda Rae Howard (aka Amanda McMillan, aka Amanda Rae Williams) of Oklahoma City was convicted in 2004 of inducing a minor to engage in prostitution. She is a registered sex offender. Amanda has a MySpace page.
CSN Net Clean-Up: Justin Andrew Meeks
CSN Net Clean-Up: Justin Andrew Meeks of Mounds, Oklahoma was convicted in 2008 of second degree rape (aggravated). He is a Level 3 sex offender. Justin has a MySpace page. He lists his occupation as "phlagrant masterbation."(sic)
CSN Net Clean-Up: Steven Charles Sisco
Steven Charles Sisco of Fanshawe, Oklahoma was convicted in 2007 of first degree rape (aggravated). Steven is a Level 3 sex offender. He has a MySpace page.
CSN Net Clean-Up: Waylon Allen Simons
Waylon Allen Simons of Norman, Oklahoma (or maybe OKC) was convicted in 2006 of second degree rape (aggravated). Waylon is a Level 3 sex offender. He has a couple of Myspace pages – one here, and one here.
Now we jump from Oklahoma to North Carolina, where we round up one more:
CSN Net Clean-Up: Tawann Lashan Bell
Tawann Lashan Bell of Kinston, North Carolina was convicted twice for indecent liberties with a minor (2002 and 2003). He is registered in the state of North Carolina as a sexual predator –the only registered "predator" in Lenoir County. He was also charged with failing to register as a sex offender in June of 2009, as this news article relates. Still, Tawann has both a MySpace page and a Facebook page. Electronic social networking is not allowed in North Carolina, but Tawann Bell's Facebook page is quite active. In fact, he does a lot of whining about some of his relatives that also made their way to prison. Oddly, Tawann Bell's mugshot serves as his profile picture on his Myspace. (Could it be fake? You be the judge.)
Bell also has a record of assault and a weapons charge.
Update: November 28, 2010: Tawann Bell was found guilty of failing to register as a sex offender. He was sentenced to 12-15 months in the Department of Correction. That sentence was suspended and Bell was placed on 36 months supervised probation.
That concludes this month's installment. We'll try to keep exposing more of these offenders who continue to break the rules.
The above profiles, which were active at the time of this post's writing, have been reported to the respective administrators. If you know of a registered sex offender with a profile on Facebook, you can report it using the following link:
