Springfield Gardens perv pinched
From WPIX:
A man who was once voted "Little League Coach of the Year" has been arrested and charged for allegedly molesting three teenage boys on his team and videotaping the acts, authorities announced Wednesday.
According to Queens District Attorney Richard Brown, David Hartshorn, 52, was charged with multiple counts of criminal sexual acts, use of a child in a sexual performance and endangering the welfare of a child.
The sexual abuse of the victims -- described as two 14-year-old boys and one 13-year-old boy -- started in July 2009 and lasted until a few weeks ago, Brown said.
Hartshorn, a coach for the Rochdale Village Little League in Springfield Gardens, allegedly molested the teens inside his Queens home where officials say he exposed the minors to child pornography and got them to engage in sex acts which he filmed.
Among several shocking accusations, authorities allege that in August 2010, Hartshorn had as many as six teens over his residence to play a game of poker. The loser of the game was made to perform a sexual act on another boy, which Hartshorn filmed with a camcorder and allowed the other teens to watch live, police said.
A search warrant executed on the Hartshorn's residence allegedly recovered many movies on various formats - including VHS and DVD - showing the young boys engaging in sexual acts and images of small children less than ten years of age engaged in similar activity.
Hartshorn was taken into custody after the victims reported the abuse to police at the NYPD's 113th Precinct station house earlier this week.

Why no death penalty in New York??? This is disgusting and if he's convicted this is the case for it.

I'm with Helen .... where is the death penalty. If my kid came home and told me that story, I would take care of that problem myself... Going to prison is useless for these types of offenders...
What doesn't our court system understand ,there is only one cure for a pedaphile " EXECUTION " ASAP !! As a parent I wouldn't call the police I'd SLAUGHTER THE SON OF A BITCH MYSELF ;-) I THINK WE ALL KNOW THIS PIECE OF SHIT WILL BE BACK ON THE STREET IN LESS THAN TWO YEARS ;-( QUESTION " WHAT VALUE DO YOU PUT ON A CHILD'S LIFE " IN MY MIND CHILDREN ARE PRICELESS !!! HURT A CHILD AND DEATH SHOULD BE THE ONLY OPTION PERIOD !!!!!
Gary Plauche time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There's no death penalty because the catholic church is against it, and they're guilty of this crime more than anyone.

The Roman Catholic church and their evil minion should be put on death row... They fake kindness and goodness only to rob you of your money and then molest your kids.

A - that's not true
B- what does that have to do with fact that NYS had the death penalty under Pataki until the Court of Appeals found it to be unconstitutional?

It's good to be able to generalize and make others responsible for your mental problems, isn't it?
I think what really needs to be investigated is HOW this monster was able to coach children after previous sexual crimes against children.
Who hired this guy without doing a background check. Was he a family member of someone at Rochdale Village? In the management office, perhaps? A Board members brother, nephew? Background checks are so very necessary.
And as far as the Catholic Church is concerned...there is EVIL everywhere, under every religious denomination - Jews and Gentiles alike. So please do stop your generalizations, Anonymous. I know several bad ass Catholics who would be happy to put Hartshorn down like the animal he is and then go to confession to ask for forgiveness from God for an act of vigilantism.
Great blog by the way.
