Kid Touching Texan Jailed for Using Twitter

A Texan kid toucher was told by the judge to stay off all social networking sites, including Facebook and Twitter. So what does he do? He starts following his Parole Officer on Twitter. Yeah, this moron’s going back to the jail.

From the Chron here by way of Red Alerts:

A registered sex offender in Beaumont who was required to stop using Twitter instead invited a probation worker to connect with him online.

A judge in Beaumont on Monday revoked the probation of 30-year-old Grandville Lindsey and ordered him to serve 15 years in prison.

Lindsey in July pleaded guilty to indecency with a child for improperly touching a 13-year-old boy.

Lindsey had been ordered not to subscribe to online social networking sites, like MySpace or Twitter, unless it was approved by probation officials.

Two Jefferson County probation officials reported that Lindsey had accessed such sites several times since August. A worker with the probation office also told the judge that Lindsey had tried to follow her on Twitter.

Enjoy your 15 years, Einstein.
