Hasidic Man Seeks Bail in MySpace Kiddie Porn Trial

020909myspaceguy.jpg 23-year-old David Silverman (pictured) is due in court today in Manhattan to seek bail after being charged with child pornography and statutory rape. Prosecutors say Silverman was raised in a Hasidic family upstate but left home in his teens, shaved his hair, tattooed his body, pierced his ears, and, in the Post's words, immersed himself in "the sex and drug-drenched rave and trance music scene." Then in 2007 he allegedly started trolling MySpace for underage girls in Westchester and luring them to a nightclub-style porn set near the Javits Center, where he'd get them drunk and videotape the sex. In case that wasn't TMI enough for your Monday morning, also note that Silverman called himself "King Dingling" on his Facebook page. But now the King says he's abdicated the throne and rejoined the Hasidic fold, so he can't possibly discuss the charges or look at the evidence "for religious reasons," according to his lawyer. That's all we've got on the case of the alleged Hasidic MySpace porno predator for now...stay tuned for more creepy updates later in the week.

no no i love hearing about this first thing on Monday.

I'm a member of the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and I'm not wearing pants to work anymore because god says so.

How appropiate!
Gotta love the double standards in the hasidic community.

NPR just did a story about sexual abuse in the Hasidic community.

It's a sad story: Abuse Scandal Plagues Hasidic Jews In Brooklyn

It seems like he's learned his lesson and is now fully immersed in his religion. He's found a new job and is selling electronics and photo equipment, except on Saturdays.

The name of the store is "Going out of business, everything must go!"

So his new kink is holes in sheets and bald heads I guess...

It's hilarious to think that under the traditional hasidic garb, he looks like DeNiro in Cape Fear.

HE's done. Prison will be fun

"Abdicated the throne..." Nice one, JDS.

Ha, church of flying spaghetti monster. That sounds neato, I want to join. This guy will be real popular in prison.

Come, and be touched by His Noodly Appendage: http://www.venganza.org/about/

After what he did he has no religious value. disgusting.

This is a real-life Philip Roth novel.

What would a disgusting sex crime be without a Myspace page?

Did he insist on kosher ecstasy?

I"m sure if they caught the other two in israel they wouldn't deport them.
