Aventura Police say a handcuffed suspect, Daniel De Jesus Cespedes arrested at the Aventura Mall, tried to escape but injured himself critically instead. According to a police report, the arresting officer was filling out paperwork and waiting for a car from a second floor exit ramp to avoid drawing a crowd of spectators. When a gust of wind blew some papers toward a ledge in the garage, the officer attempted to grab the papers and De Jesus Cespedes took off. His desperate attempt to escape included a leap from a parking garage wall onto a moving construction truck below. The 19 year-old alleged child molester failed miserably at his escape attempt almost killing himself when he missed the truck slamming into the pavement 2 stories below. According to police, De Jesus Cespedes was wanted on a charge of lewd and lascivious battery on a minor.

Best Live ACTION Short

A long-time University of Miami Law School professor who teaches criminal procedure and constitutional law was been charged with soliciting an undercover officer for sex following an August arrest in his 2004 Mercedes-Benz.

D. Marvin Jones was arrested on Aug. 22 in Miami's Little River neighborhood. The 56 year-old propositioning professor was at the intersection of NW 79th Street and 1st Court when according to a police report, he approached an officer posing as a hooker and offered a mere $20 for sex.


Jones has been teaching at the university for almost 20 years. The published author of Race, Sex, and Suspicion: The Myth of the Black Male has been on leave since the beginning of the fall semester. School officials are aware of the arrest but there have been no actions.

According to courts records, Jones requested a trial when he pleaded not guilty to the solicitation charge last month. The solicitation charge is a second-degree misdemeanor. If convicted, Jones could be hit with up to 60 days in jail.

Honorable Mention

Coral Gables police arrested and charged the father of an 8 year-old little boy with aggravated child abuse after the school called officials.

According to school officials, the 8 year-old went to the nurse complaining that it hurt to sit. Upon examining him, they discovered bruises on his buttocks and upper thighs. When questioned, the little boy admitted his father had hit him with a belt.

When the Department of Children and Families questioned the 30 year-old father, he admitted he had hit his son with a belt. He hit him as punishment for bad grades.

...

A judge released Loscar Rodriguez on pre-trial release because the judge felt the man was just disciplining his child.

The judge citing that Rodriguez had not hit his son with “the buckle or a baseball bat which cause injury,” also stated “a belt is supposed to leave a mark.”

Apparently BRUISES are not the types of ‘marks’ left on someone ‘injured.’

30 year-old Rodriguez, a bartender at Oxygen nightclub in the Grove, cannot have any contact with his son until further notice.

Well that’s good because according to the judge “spanking never hurt anyone.” Or at least that’s what he thinks Rodriguez did: spank.

As a parent, I’m all for spanking a child. In my eyes, it really just boils down to association. If you’re not going to listen, then you’re going to get spanked. Sooner or later, like Pavlov’s dogs, the child will learn to listen even if he does so simply to avoid being spanked.

And to spank him over grades? To his credit, at least it was for something positive. I think his actions, while well intended, clearly went over the line.

That said, as a child that was disciplined, I don’t think I was abused. The difference between when I was disciplined and what this guy did is as simple as black and white, well black and blue anyway. My parents never hit me so hard that they hurt me left bruises!

damned semantics...

All joking aside, there's a really fine line here and I could potentially argue either side.

Where's the mom?

ANOTHER SCARY REMINDER WHY YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WRAP IT UP!

You can get comped at the door, get free drinks at the bar and apparently even go home with a deadly sexually transmitted disease!

Former club promoter- a popular club promoter that is, Elidor Kersaint, is HIV positive and knowingly spread the disease to his sex partners.

Investigators say they were contacted by a woman following a March incident. According to a police report, the 22 year-old promoter brought home an unsuspecting female victim. The victim reported that after one of Kersaint’s promoted evenings, the pair had unprotected sex at least twice.

He didn’t bother telling her that he was infected with H.I.V., well, at least not before the ‘act.’ Kersaint reportedly advised the woman of his status after having had relations with her.

Kersaint was reportedly a promoter at Mansion, Prive, Opium, Pearl and Nikki Beach however representatives of the Opium group have been quoted as saying they “can unequivocally confirm that this individual is not an employee of the Opium group” but have been associated with previous third party vendors.

The guy has a few pages on the social networking site MySpace. His MySpace pages feature collages of Belvedere Vodka bottles, big name hip-hoppers, bling and a slew of women allowing Kersaint to insert his tongue in their mouths.

Fearing there may be other unsuspecting victims out there, Miami Beach police are looking for women who may have had unprotected sex with Kersaint. These women who may be unaware that they are infected are being urged to seek medical attention and follow by contacting police.

"It's a felony, but for the victim it's a lifelong sentence so it's obviously more severe for the victims in those cases," said Miami Beach Seargent Bobby Hernandez..


So Miami Beach PD are looking for this guy’s other potential victims?

Why is this the first time that anyone has heard of this? The guy was arrested in JUNE!!

Maybe they should start by looking for the women on his page....just a thought.

They should cut his penis off and make him watch porn all day.
