Missouri Man Applies For State Highway Patrol And Ends Up With 20 Years In Prison

highway+patrol+patchEveryone has had a bad job interview experience. However, few have had the Cedric Lovejoy’s experience. Lovejoy interviewed for a state police job with the Missouri State Highway Patrol and ended up sentenced to 20 years in jail.

Lovejoy, 29, applied for the position and was asked to do a standard pre-employment polygraph examination. During the examination, it was revealed that he filmed a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old. A later search of his computer found the video from July 2009 that he originally made on his cellphone. He was then arrested on two counts of sexually exploiting a child.

Faced with his own confession and the videotape, he had little choice but to plead guilty to using a minor to produce child pornography. It is not much of a plea. It still carries a 15 year minimum sentence.

That is a longer commitment to join law enforcement than Lovejoy no doubt intended.

  1. Mr. Schulte,

    True.

    Not based on the how were we created argument though.

    I know how you like to stretch the “evidence” and flat-out lie about things.

    1. Enchanted Youth – are you still grieving about the demise of FFS? Is that why the ad hominem attacks?

  2. So clearly this blog loathes actually learning history. Just google Elijah Lovejoy (Because nobody here knows who that is). It’s not a wonder that law enforcement still targets this name with vigor.

  3. You can believe in a god or you can believe in evolution. This is a much stronger case for the survival of the fittest and the rest getting pushed to the side.

  4. Annie, you just made a false statement. I asked a question which you can read and do your best to comprehend below. Presumably, others would respond and delineate the differences, which I would be interested in hearing. Further, I said it is not entirely dissimilar, proposing that being alive as a slave is worse that being slashed, shot, blown up, maimed and killed. I would be very interested in hearing rebuttals to that. Finally, I concluded that human cogitation is sometimes manipulated, perhaps subconsciously, to generate a desired conclusion.

    “What was the difference between ISIS slavery and the draft during the Vietnam conflict?”

    “It’s not entirely dissimilar to African slavery in America being unspeakable while 1 million Americans were wounded, maimed and killed for slavery (what’s worse, having a bad job or being crippled or dead?).”

    “It sure is a funny world, huh?”

    “The thing is you see what you want to see and you hear what you want to hear.”

    —Nilsson, The Point (1971)

    You write false statements in an effort to establish false facts.

    Do you fool many people?

  5. Darn cell phones and computers! Maybe all teenagers should be required to wear some form of visible chastity attire until they are 21! 😉 He would have been 23 at the time. Maybe there needs to be some education and training about sex laws for young people. Where were the parents of the 14 year old?

  6. What state besides Missouri has one or more bears depicted in the state seal or symbol? It is west of the Alleghanies.

  7. Sometimes the best laid plans of mice and men do oft go astray. Bobby Burns.

  8. It all boils down to two things. Those two things are depicted on the photo on the article here. Those two things are creatures. Those of you who live in Chicago, or have visited there, will understand. da Bears!

    It was da Bears who uncoiled this case of the perp who wanted to be a cop. In other lingo he was a pig who wanted to be a Pig. A pig with a badge is a Pig.

  9. Amazing that people still fall for this scam. The people who push the use of these things are scam artists, and the boxes one step below voodoo dolls in terms of believability.

  10. Forgotwhoiam,
    The other day you said that the women and children sold into sex slavery for ISIS were no worse off than those who were drafted by the U.S. Now you want to say you care about fetuses?

    “What was the difference between ISIS slavery and the draft during the Vietnam conflict? Individuals were forced (at the point of a police gun and before a judge) out of their private lives and homes, into being traumatized, forcefully indoctrinated, having their heads shaved, screamed at, mentally abused, engaging in violent activities, forced to do all kinds of filthy, laborious “duties” and transported out of the country (a lot of us did exactly that without batting any eye – many had arms and legs blown off and many were killed).

    It’s not entirely dissimilar to African slavery in America being unspeakable while 1 million Americans were wounded, maimed and killed for slavery (what’s worse, having a bad job or being crippled or dead?).

    It sure is a funny world, huh?”

    Yeah real funny.

  11. I’m glad there aren’t 50 million MORE PEOPLE on the planet, personally.

    Where did this article mention fetuses? Where? Nowhere, that’s where.

  12. 15 years for abuse of young children.

    Impunity for the murder of 50 million fetuses since 1972.

    Little kids, a few years apart.
