Assault suspect may have met teen online
Documents from a search warrant served at the home of a White Bear Lake man accused of trying to have sex with a Rogers teen indicate the two might have met on MySpace.com or in a chat room for gays.
John Charles Bucholz, 41, is out on bail after being charged in connection with the June 8 episode, which gained attention because the boy's father confronted Bucholz in the teen's bedroom.
The boy, 14, told police that Bucholz surprised him as he was falling asleep and threatened to kill him unless the teen performed oral sex on him. The teen said he began to comply when his father came into the room and began yelling, demanding an explanation. The father detained Bucholz until police arrived.
The boy also said he and a friend had been talking in an Internet chat room for gays the previous week. According to the warrant, the teen told police he is not gay and that he visited the chat room for fun.
If I was the father I would have much rather found out about this before it got that far by monitoring his computer a little closer.....
