A good place NOT to live...

MOUNT VERNON, Ohio (AP) -- A man lived in a 15-year-old girl's bedroom closet for three weeks before her mother found out and had him arrested, a prosecutor said.

Jeffrey Scott Martin, 26, was arrested and charged with corrupting a minor through sexual contact and illegally using a minor in nudity-oriented material. He faces 91/2 years in prison.

The girl's mother discovered Martin when she opened the closet to put away some sweaters and found blankets, a pillow and dishes, prosecutor John Baker said Thursday. Her daughter then admitted that Martin had been living there since November 17, he said.

Several pictures of the girl, including one in which she is naked, were also found in the closet, Baker said.

The two met about seven months ago over the Internet, Baker said.

Martin has been absent without leave from his Army unit at Fort Knox, Kentucky, since October 18.

He was arrested Saturday in his pickup truck, which was parked near the girl's home in Mount Vernon, about 30 miles northeast of Columbus. Military dynamite and other munitions were found in the truck.

Baker said Martin avoided detection by staying in the closet when the girl's mother was at home, but had the run of the house while she was at work.

"You would think that most people would discover this sometime before this," Baker said. "But how often does a parent check a child's closet?"

I saw that on the news this morning.

I was thinking, "stupid girl" and "stupid parents" but then again I DO live within 35 miles of there.

Or did you mean the closet?

It's crowded in here as it is. I guess someone to share the rent with would help though.

That's it. I'm moving to Florida. Oh, wait. That might not be an improvement.

Can't be any worse than living here in Albany, where the white trash and the ghetto rats live in an uneasy symbiosis.

For example, a few weeks ago on Thanksgiving this drugged out ex-gangmember dude had a fight with "his baby momma" in a parking lot. He got so pissed he gave his gun to his toddler son and told him to "shoot mommy".

*takes a pull from a bottle of wine* Thankfully, the brat didn't do it, but his pile of human waste that is his father was arrested and thrown in jail.

The "family" lives a few blocks down from me.
