Tagged.com: Poser member caught up in kiddie porn

September 11th, 2009. By AbiK

Wasn’t it just a few days ago that we posted about a sexual assault case that started as a seemingly find-your-true-love-online deal via Tagged.com?

This time it’s kiddie porn charges—not played out thankfully, but the accused is charged with keeping “stores of child pornography in his Lilburn (GA) home”, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

How’d it happen? The accused, Bish Shorrosh, 51, was on Tagged.com posing as a 45-year old guy named “Matthew”. Luckily (or not) he got into an online conversation with a woman from Texas—with whom he shared things like the fact that he apparently (allegedly!) likes “teen boys” and girls when they “start growing physically”. Uh-huh.

As with all these types of cases, what’s amazing is that this woman continued to talk with this guy. They apparently exchanged emails and started talking over at Yahoo chat. Go figure. But at least that’s how the guy was caught—so it’s really a public service that this woman provided.

We may have to start keeping score between Tagged.com and Craigslist.
