Kent

Teen sentenced to juvenile detention for killing man who paid her for sex:

A 16-year-old craigslist prostitute was sentenced to juvenile detention for the fatal stabbing of a Kent, Washington man.

Prosecutors say that there was a possibility that the man attacked the girl who was 15 at the time.

Jeanette Pena, the ex-wife of victim Francisco “Noe” Pena, told the girl, “you took my best friend of 26 years. I don’t think you understand what you have done … He was a very good man.”

I hate to speak ill of the dead but if he was getting underage hookers he wasn’t as good a man as you hoped.

According to the girl Pena wouldn’t let her leave without having sex.

The girl has an extensive criminal record but no charges for prostitution.

The girl’s maternal grandmother said in an interview that the girl struggled with a difficult childhood and had mental and dependency problems that were never addressed by the juvenile courts system.

But no one in this story could be considered a victim right? Or how about everybody in this story is a victim?

Renters lose cash in Craigslist apartment scam:
Here we have another craigslist real estate scam story, this time from Kent, Washington. Someone advertised for a roommate on craigslist looking for someone to share their apartment with. Except they weren’t really planning on sharing. The “renter” collected anywhere from $180 to $1K from people who were looking for a place to stay. Meanwhile the real apartment managers were in the process of evicting the “renter”.

Police say to avoid falling victim a scam like this, deal only with the apartment rental office. Shortcuts won’t get you a good deal — but they’re a sure route to losing your money.

Sage advice indeed.
