David Stodghill's complete (?) criminal history
Posted at the blog, repeating it here in case anyone knows of any gaps I'm missing. The Jessica Lunsford shenanigans and assorted GFY antics are not on here, but would love to add if there is any way to verify criminal complaints, legal filings, etc.
_____
December, 1991
Stodghill arrested for "concealing the whereabouts of a child." Sentenced to 3 to 15 months in Cumberland County Prison.
May 1995
Stodghill charged with "intimidation of a witness or victim" and "harrassment or stalking."
August, 1995
Stodghill arrested and charged with indecent assault, aggravated indecent assault, and corruption of minors in an incident from that same month. In October he pleads guilty to indecent assault, and is sentenced to approximately 2 years in County Prison.
November, 1995
Stodghill charged with buying or receiving stolen property. In February, 1996, Stodghill pleads guilty while still at Cumberland County Prison, his sentence runs concurrent with current incarceration.
April 1996
Stodghill released on parole on the condition that he undergoes counseling.
March 28, 1999
Stodghill allegedly molests a 13 year old girl in the front seat of a car in Hampden Township, Pennsylvania. After charges are filed, Stodghill moves to Ocean City, MD before police can arrest him. 5 months later he is extradited back to Cumberland County, PA. However, his 13 year old accuser decides not to testify and the charges are dropped.
November, 2000
Pennsylvania State Police in Newville, Cumberland County, cite Stodghill for driving over the speed limit. Charges are eventually dismissed. They list his residence as Fort Myers, FL.
February, 2001
The Lee County, FL Sheriff's office receives an anonymous tip that David Stodghill was taking photos of his minor children and posting them at www dot virgins-r-us dot com. Per the warrant, "Included in the letter were several pictures of children involved in sexual acts."
In Fort Myers, Federal customs officials and local law enforcement attempted to contact Stodghill for an interview, but soon discovered that he and his family had abruptly fled. Law enforcement were also informed that the Department of Family Services had attempted to do a well-being check on Stodghill and his children in the months prior.
March, 2001
Bench warrant issued for Stodghill in Pennsylvania for violating terms of parole related to his November, 2005 offense.
Late 2007, early 2008
Stodghill's wife leaves David, taking her and their 2 kids back to Pennsylvania. After a couple months, Stodghill follows, and begins soliciting work as a wedding photographer in the Carlisle area.
March, 2008
Stodghill has a heart attack, sending him to the ICU.
The March 2001 arrest warrant is revoked.
June 2009
Stodghill makes local news as police and fire officials warn the public that, using the name Randy Thomas, Stodghill is claiming to make a fire safety movie. Shippensburg's police chief describes Stodghill as a "habitual liar," and the article states that he had been imprisoned 6 times since 1995, including two times on charges of indecent assault.
A 12 year old girl files a police complaint alleging Stodghill sexually assaulted her. Pennsylvania State Police do not formally file charges at the time. Before he can be questioned, Stodghill disappears, apparently moving immediately to Los Angeles.
Fall 2009
Stodghill marries 19 year old Alyssa Aten in Burbank, CA, while still married to his previous wife, and begins using the alias "David Aten."
January and February 2010
Finally locating Stodghill in Los Angeles, Pennsylvania State Police issue an arrest warrant for him. Federal Marshalls and ICE agents raid Stodghill's Cahuenga Blvd. condo on the same day Stodghill and Aten are being evicted, but Stodghill is not home.
Alon Finkelstein and Alyssa Aten assist Stodghill in evading the police, as he spends the weekend in a Pasadena park. The following Monday, February 1st, Marshalls find and engage Stodghill in a foot pursuit and up "treeing him." He drops from the tree, and nearly escapes by hopping on a transit bus. Law enforcement stops the bus with guns drawn and apprehend Stodghill.
Stodghill is incarcerated in Los Angeles until February 22nd being sent, via ground transportation, to Pennsylvania. After the weeklong trip he is jailed at Cumberland County Prison, where he currently remains to await trial.
August 2010
The victim of an alleged attack by David Stodghill in 1999 has him charged again. The accuser, then 13, is now in her mid-20s.
