New Internet Crime Effort Nets Arrest

BERLIN — Just days after the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office announced a new initiative to combat crimes against children in the community, the new partnership has already paid dividends with the arrest of a Stockton man last Thursday on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography.

Worcester County Sheriff Reggie Mason last week announced a new initiative to combat crimes against children by partnering with the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC).
The ICAC Task Force was created to help federal, state and local law enforcement agencies enhance their investigative responses to offenders to use the Internet, online communications systems or computer technology to sexually exploit children. The program, which has been in place nationwide for over a decade, is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice and its Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.

This week the first significant arrest utilizing the program was announced. Last Thursday, Perry William Sharpley, 42, of Stockton, was arrested and charged with three counts of possession of child pornography and three counts of distribution of child pornography. The arrest was the result of the combined efforts of the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office, the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit and the Department of Homeland Security.

Good... now dot your i's and cross your t's and make sure these animals are put away for a very long time. Disposal would be best, but I know we lack the spine to do what is right.

Give him Anthony's last name, then cut it off.

I predict (by what I see) that he will go on to destroy many more lives before he is dead. Until people stop viewing crimes against children as victimless events (which is what a judicial system is left with) nothing will change.... and certainly not the likes of this one
