N.J. 'Vampyre' jailed after allegedly harassing teen
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/200...er_allege.html
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- A self-described "vampyre" and former fringe political candidate faces charges for threatening a teenage girl who tried to break off their relationship by telling him she was actually a vampire hunter.
Jonathan Alfred Sharkey, 44, of Toms River, was held in the Olmsted County, Minn. jail Wednesday on $125,000 bail. He was charged last summer, but didn't appear in court until last month after he was arrested on a warrant.
Sharkey's public defender, Rick Smith, has asked that the charges be dismissed for lack of probable cause.
Sharkey, who calls himself the "The Impaler," ran as the Vampyres, Witches and Pagans party candidate for Minnesota governor in 2006, when he listed Princeton, Minn., as his address.
The criminal complaint says he was running for president in 2007 when the 16-year-old girl wrote a message of support on his MySpace page. She told police they began dating online, and the threats began when she tried to break off the relationship.
She told police that "in a desperate attempt" to get him to leave her alone, she had e-mailed him that she was a member of an elite vampire hunter society and that continuing their relationship would put him in danger. Her father told police he talked to Sharkey, but Sharkey continued to call the girl and write letters to her parents.
He was charged with felony harassment and two misdemeanors: coercion with a threat to inflict bodily harm and coercion with a threat to expose a secret or disgrace.
Sharkey was supposed to appear in court here in August, but got a delay by saying he had been hurt in a pro wrestling match. He then missed a September hearing and a warrant was issued.
The complaint says Sharkey told a Rochester police sergeant who called him last August that he was a vampire "who needs to drink human blood for strength." It says he referred to the Rochester girl as his wife and princess. Last August he also wrote a letter threatening to sue the county attorney's office for wrongful and vindictive prosecution.

Check out the newest episode of South Park at www.southparkstudios.com. South Park Elementary is infected by vampires, and it's up to Butters and the school's goths to set things right. The goths get involved because everyone keeps mistaking the vampires for goths.

What exactly is it with older guys getting with younger girls by claiming to be supernatural entities?
I mean, the number of times I've seen a variation of 30+ Guy/-18 Girl where the guy was claiming to be a Vampire/Werewolf/Witchalock... it certainly confuses me.
I mean, how gullible are girls nowadays? I've never met anyone that I think this would ever work on; maybe Darwin got them all before I had a chance to meet them.

That's okay. I always carefully ignore what other people say, and then say it myself like it's some brilliant new revelation. Try it some time. It works great!

I can't decide what part of this guy is more asinine, the whole "Vampyre" thing, or the fact that he threatened to sue for "wrongful and vindictive prosecution."

I think my favorite part is saying that he "needs" human blood to survive. Is this seriously his plea to try and stay out of jail? lol

This guy ran on the idea that he'd impale criminals, by the way.

God damn people are fucking DUMB.
I like the chick's response:
Idiot is all like: "Boo! I'm a vampire! Love me!"
Girl: "Ummm...I'm actually an elite vampire hunter!"
Idiot: "OHJ NOES!"

vampire/pagan/witch group? Why do we wiccans get shoved up with vampires?! Come on! This just makes us sound looney. I'd rather be a republican than be part of that group.

You sound looney because you are looney.
I mean seriously, a hodgepodge of various new-age beliefs that borrows heavily from the early druidic cults but ignores the unsavory (human scarifice) bits? A religion that's only fifty or so years old that claims it's a centuries old tradition?
Yeah totally sane.

The way you imply it's a commonality heavily disturbs me.
