  • Serial ‘Butt Sniffer’ Back in Jail Without Bail

    Calese Carron Crowder, the registered sex offender infamously dubbed the serial “butt sniffer,” is back behind bars. After posting a $100,000 bail following his arrest last month, Burbank Police have re-arrested the 38-year-old for allegedly sniffing a woman’s behind at a local Walgreens. This time, he’s being held without bail.

    A Pattern of Disturbing Behavior

    This isn’t the first time Crowder has made headlines for such offenses. We first reported on him in August 2023 when he was arrested for failing to register as a sex offender, despite being on probation for peeping on children. Prior to that arrest, he had gone viral after a woman caught him on camera sniffing her butt at a Barnes & Noble. Despite his extensive criminal history, which reportedly includes at least 42 arrests in Los Angeles County dating back to 2005 for offenses ranging from sex crimes to robbery and burglary, Crowder has frequently been released from custody.

    Just last month, Crowder was arrested again for allegedly sniffing another woman’s behind, this time at a Nordstrom Rack in Burbank. Responding to a “lewd behavior” call, police found that Crowder had already fled the scene. However, security footage from a nearby Walmart reportedly showed him following another woman and then bending down to sniff her behind. Although he was arrested, Crowder, who is on active parole, was released on $100,000 bail, facing a charge of loitering with intent to commit a crime. Police noted his documented history of similar arrests in Glendale and Burbank since 2021.

    New Arrest, No Bail

    The cycle of alleged offenses continued. On Wednesday evening, August 20th, police arrested Crowder once more for a similar incident, this time at a Walgreens in Burbank. According to police records, the alleged serial “butt sniffer” is now being held without any bail, indicating a potentially stricter stance from the authorities given his persistent behavior.

  • Man Castrated in Plea Deal for Child Rape Attempt

    In a case that has sent shockwaves, a man in Louisiana has agreed to a drastic measure as part of his plea deal for attempting to rape a 7-year-old girl. Thomas Allen McCartney will serve 40 years in prison and, in a highly unusual step, has consented to both physical and chemical castration.

    A Plea Deal with Extreme Consequences

    The Vernon Parish District Attorney’s Office confirmed the plea deal, which was finalized on Tuesday. McCartney, 37, from Leesville, pleaded guilty to the serious charge of attempted first-degree rape of a child. This outcome reflects the gravity of the crime and the commitment to protecting vulnerable victims.

    McCartney’s history is deeply concerning. When he was arrested in 2023, authorities revealed he was already classified as a Tier 3 sex offender with an extensive criminal record. His past offenses include attempted aggravated rape and carnal knowledge of a juvenile, painting a grim picture of a repeat offender.

    Understanding Castration in Plea Deals

    So, what exactly does castration as part of a plea deal entail? Typically, it means the defendant agrees to undergo either surgical castration (the removal of testicles) or chemical castration (medication to reduce sex drive and testosterone) in exchange for a less severe sentence, such as avoiding life imprisonment or the death penalty.

    While this type of plea deal is rare and often debated, it has been utilized in some jurisdictions for severe sexual offenses, particularly those involving children. Vernon Parish District Attorney Terry Lambright emphasized McCartney’s status as a “predator that needs to be locked away from others,” underscoring the intent behind this stringent agreement.

    This case highlights the complex and sometimes controversial measures taken within the justice system to address heinous crimes and ensure public safety. The 40-year sentence, coupled with the castration agreement, aims to provide a significant deterrent and prevent future harm.
