The Pride Of Vernon

This was brought to my attention by Ogre. Apparently one of my classmates from high school is really awesome. Check it:

(Newington-WTNH, Apr. 11, 2006 6:35 PM) _ A Central Connecticut State University student has been arrested for allegedly hooking up with underage girls he met online.

Police say 22-year-old David Leonard from New Britain set up a meeting with a 12-year-old. The girl allegedly used her sister's myspace.com account to chat with Leonard and later talked to him by cell phone.

Police say the two then arranged to meet at an elementary school in Newington over the summer. Police say Leonard met the girl and a friend, also 12-years-old. He allegedly lead the girls into a wooded area and kissed and fondled them.

Police say Leonard then invited the girls to his apartment for alcohol and movies, but a second meeting never took place.

Leonard has been charged with sexual assault, interfering with police and giving a false statement.

He really liked Nirvana a lot, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise to me.
