Did the girl ever receive the $500 or the $1000? THis sounds like PROSTITUTION to me. What was she thinking.....money. No excuses for the man, let him rot in jail for he knew she was most likely underage.

I highly disapprove of publishing the name of any person who ALLEGEDLY committed a sexual assault. I believe the identities of both victim and accused should be unpublished up until the time an individual is formally accused of the crime.

This little girls' a tramp. Police oughta make her give up the $500 and $1000 as evidence. She wasn't assaulted, she has a freakin PayPal account! She knew what she was doing! It's called Prostitution.

Our Children really don't understand the dangers they put themselves in. I don't think she asked to be assulted, but she did agree to meet him to be paid for sex. She placed herself in danger. How do we get teens to see that their behavior can have sever consequences?

This girl was certainly not innocent and knew what she was doing. Looking for some easy money and she should be charged with prostitution. Where are her parents?

West Pittston Resident said...

Another fine example of police leadership. Is the chief of West Pittston going to stand by this officer? did he train him to shoot at cars? Looking at the recent Scranton shooting, police are trained to "shoot to kill". Ask the family of Brenda Williams. Did the West Pittston chief train his officer to kill the tires of the car? What about other people in the area? Did this officer not endanger other people by shooting at tires on a moving car? Let's see the cover up here. I hope the reader who wanted to make this west Pittston chief the "chief of the regionalized police" is watching what happens here. Let me know if you still want him. he might be busy training his officers to shoot tires though.

Lisa, no one knows the circumstances for this man either!!! yet his name, address and face are now plastered all over the internet because of this. In the article it states she AGREED to meet for sex for money, how is this judging this girl? The comments on here are related to facts from the news article. She should be charged with prostition, plain and simple, this mans life is in shamble because she agreed to have sex with him, by the way he too is wrong, but this girl is not a young teenager, she knows what she is doing. PayPal accounts, police stings, maybe she has done this before. She is putting herself out there, who is her next target? Your son? I agree with Chet her money head could have gotten this person killed! Or the police! She caused this mess charge her with the same offenses. Again she agreed to have sex with him for money! It's in the article, read it again!

There should have been no shooting!!!! If this cop had time to shoot, he had time to MOVE!!!!!!!! This man was not aiming any weapon at him, I dont read of any weapons at all being involved. MOVE COP MOVE!!!!!!!

Friend of WP Resident said...

Welcome back to town WP Resident...... This was an outstanding job performed by the officer who shot the tires. And who said that the chief wanted to be the chief of the regional department, ummmmmm. Keep the politics out of the WP police department. Thanks.

Dear West Pittston Resident...Huh????

Max said...

What was wrong with this shooting? Sounds to me the cop had good aim, and stopped a situation before it turned in to a high speed chase. No, it should not have happened, suspect should have just stopped, but I personally applude the cops for thier handling if the situation, they did not over react and kill the suspect. They stopped and apprehended him. She should be brought up on prostitution charges, and he should be released.

THE TRUTH said...

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE SHE GOT UPSET BECAUSE SHE DIDNT GET PAID FOR HER "LEWD ACT" THAT SHE PROMISED SHE WOULD PERFORM FOR A 1000$!!

Are you serious?? She may have made some stupid decisions but i mean really? Come on, how could you stick up for this dirt bag.. If she knew what she was getting herself into I'm sure she wouldn't have agreed to anything. I give her credit for going to the police knowing that there would be people like you trying to get her put away for prostitution. As for you max, would you really like this pervert running around our town? This girl must be a mess, she's gone through a lot so you should probably leave this alone until you hear the whole story. Thanks, Anna
