Guilty Conscious? Virginia Cop Commits Suicide As Police Try To Arrest Him For Child Molestation

Virginia Police Officer Commits Suicide Over Allegations Of Child Molestation Sure, whatever, not ALL cops…but there are some (probably more than most people would like to publicly admit) absolutely disgusting human beings who are undeservedly bestowed the honor of a gun and badge on a daily basis. David E. Abbott Jr. was one of those people. Emphasis on WAS… Via WashingtonPost A Manassas City police detective, who was the lead investigator in a controversial teen “sexting” case last year, shot and killed himself outside his home Tuesday morning as police tried to arrest him for allegedly molesting two boys he met while coaching youth hockey in Prince William County. David E. Abbott Jr., 39, was a member of the Northern Virginia-Washington D.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and had been an officer on the Manassas City force for 14 years. In his spare time he coached 13- and 14-year-old boys in travel hockey for the Potomac Patriots program at the Prince William Ice Center in Woodbridge, club officials said. When Prince William police learned Monday of the allegations of improper contact by Abbott over a period of years, they moved quickly. Police said they learned that Abbott had sent inappropriate text messages and emails to a 13-year-old boy he met through the hockey program. By phone and social media, Abbott had been asking the boy for sex acts for more than two years, county police said. Detectives then learned of a second potential victim, a boy who was 13 and was also part of the Patriots hockey club in 2008 when Abbott began sending him inappropriate messages, police said. Early Tuesday, Prince William police obtained a search warrant for Abbott’s townhouse on Senea Drive in Gainesville, where he lived with his mother. Police also obtained four felony arrest warrants — two counts of indecent liberties by a custodian and two counts of use of a communication device to solicit a sexual offense. He got off REAL easy with that suicide. Damn shame really Image via Manassas City PD

The Strokes, Arcade Fire and Phoenix also headline the August fest in Chicago. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Marco Prosch/ Getty Images Lady Gaga is bringing the Monster Ball to Lollapalooza this August. Hope she’s packing some sunscreen. Early Tuesday morning (April 6), organizers of the granddaddy of U.S. summer fests revealed the lineup for the 2010 edition of Lolla, and Gaga’s name is atop the list, joined by fellow headliners Green Day, the recently reunited Soundgarden, the reformed Stokes, the Arcade Fire and Phoenix. Most of the headliners for the Chicago festival have some connection to Lollapalooza’s past. Lady Gaga was a relatively unknown side-stage performer in 2007; Green Day and the Arcade Fire have both taken the stage at the fest, and Soundgarden were twice a part of the original touring version of Lolla, having played the trek in both 1992 and 1996. Since splitting in 1997, they have not performed live together. The Lollapalooza gig will also be a return to the stage for the Strokes, who have not performed together in more than four years. Joining those headliners on the bill are MGMT, Hot Chip, the National, Erykah Badu, AFI, Grizzly Bear, Spoon, B.o.B., 2ManyDJs, the New Pornographers, the xx and Switchfoot. There are also legends like Jimmy Cliff and Devo, a jam-band or two (Blues Traveler) and even Chicago-area talent, most notably soul belter Mavis Staples. You can view the entire lineup — some 120 artists, with more to be announced in the coming weeks — over on the fest’s official site . Lollapalooza 2010 will be held August 6-8 in Chicago’s Grant Park. Passes are already on sale, though “early bird” packages are long gone. A standard three-day pass costs $215, with special VIP packages running $850. Does this lineup make you want to head to Chicago this summer? Who are you most excited to see?

Former ‘American Idol’ contestant was in Chile for a show when Saturday’s 8.8 earthquake struck. By Gil Kaufman Elliott Yamin Photo: Nick Spanos For now, Elliott Yamin is OK, but if he needs to stay in earthquake-ravaged Chile much longer, the diabetic former “American Idol” contestant might run into some problems. On Monday evening, almost three days after a massive 8.8 quake rattled the South American country, Yamin told his Twitter followers, “amazing outpour of support out there! … can’t thank yall enuff!! … I’m NOW DOING OK AS FAR INSULIN GOES! … no need 2 wrry.” The tweet came after Yamin told Fox News that he was starting to worry about his supply of insulin. “I am a Type 1 diabetic and I only packed enough insulin supplies for my pump to last a couple more days,” he said in one of the many interviews he’s done since Saturday’s massive tremor shook the country. The quake hit just hours after the season five third-place “Idol” finisher performed at a singing competition in the city of Vi
