Charge: Molester traded girl computer for strip show
SEATTLE -- An Auburn child molester is behind bars again following allegations that he asked a 12-year-old girl to strip for him in exchange for time on his computer.
King County prosecutors claim Jeremy J. Schade attempted to talk the child out of her clothes in early November. Schade, 36, was convicted 19 years ago of molesting a young child.
Charging Schade with immoral communication with a minor, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Richard L. Anderson asserted Schade admitted his crime to the girl's family.
"The defendant acknowledged that he 'messed up' to the victim's family and subsequently admitted to investigators that he asked the victim to remove her clothes," Anderson told the court. "The state has concerns that the defendant poses a risk for future criminal behavior given the allegation and the defendant's prior history of offending."
Auburn police learned of the allegations earlier in December after the girl's stepfather reported he found text messages related to the incident on her phone.
According to charging documents, the girl had been over at Schade's apartment when she asked to use his computer. Schade agreed but allegedly demanded she take off some of her clothing in exchange.
Writing the court, an Auburn Police detective said Schade later sent a text message to the girl asking that she not tell anyone what had occurred.
Auburn officers arrested Schade shortly after the allegations came to light. Speaking with police, Schade is alleged to have admitted he told the girl "to do something inappropriate" but suggested he was only kidding.
Schade remains jailed on $200,000 bail. He has not yet entered a plea.

"Molester traded girl computer "
I was unaware that computers had gender. Â :-D
Wonder if he's friends with Josh and Steve.
 @jelisized Heh, at least not with Joshie anymore...
 @DMT Hopefully soon.
These parents are a shining example of why their should a lic to be able to breed.
SCUM!!! This so reminds me of what my first stepfather did to me!!! I would want to go out with the youth group for pizza after services, or pretty much anything fun I'd want to do - I'd have to "do something" for that creep so I could go! I was messed with from around 3 to almost 15 when he finally left, but hearing the girl's age at the time of this incident reminded me of the stuff my stepfather did when I wasn't small enough to be completely under his thumb physically...this story gives me the shudders!
Â
I really hope this girl recovers from this; this is so not her fault. I am so glad it was discovered (hopefully) before anything worse happened. I would certainly check for other victims...and that dude was totally lying when he said he was kidding! Baloney!
My only question on this is WHY did the stepfather have access to his 12 year old stepdaughter's phone and text messages.
Why wouldn't a parent have access to a 12 yo's cell phone?!
 @Alikelystorey WTF! WHY not! She is 12 years old. Who do you think is going to look after her? I do hope you have no kids of your own.
 @Alikelystorey He may be her legal step-father but is the only father figure in her life. As a parent, my husband(step father to my 2 oldest which are now grown and he raised from age 6 and 3) and myself have the right and authority to take our children's( while under age 18) cell phone at any time we choose for whatever our reasons may be. It's called "proper parenting". There is no complete complete privacy in our home when it comes to their rooms or backpacks either. As a parent, it is our duty to make sure our children grow to be productive adults that positively benefit society. Our 22 yr old daughter just thanked both of us last year for doing all those "horribly embarrassing" things she had to endure as a teen. Oh those "horribly embarrassing" things are taking phone to check it, wanting each friends parents address', time you'll be home etc.....I have never gotten my kids internet on their phone though. They don't need it,, I saw good for the stepdad. He did hid job to protect his child.
 @Robinsnest  @Alikelystorey While she was growing up, I remember how I always told my daughter that her room and her things are her personal spaces and that I will never be a snooper in her stuff - unless I was genuinely worried about something. I sure wasn't going to be like my mom; she was horrible and did it because she was bored and did it to make fun of us kids, like when she found a story I written out about a boy I liked or was talking about my sexuality issues, stuff like that; those are just two examples. She didn't do it because she was concerned; she was very abusive. I am glad my daughter knew and trusted I would not be like that!
Â
I only had to look through something once, and that was my daughter's diary. She was not lying to me at all and there were no drugs or crime I suspected, but I was concerned about how she was dealing with a personal problem I worried might have been too big for her. I think she was 15 at the time.
Â
Yes, she was upset at first - who wouldn't - but she did listen to my explanation as to why I felt I had a good reason to look. She got over it rather quickly and we talked about the issue that was at hand. I think she got over it quick because of my proven track record that I wouldn't paw through her stuff. I think I did pretty good - I didn't snoop, but kept my eyes open for anything "off."
 @Robinsnest  @Alikelystorey Right on.
 @Alikelystorey Huh?  You are really asking why a father has access to his daughter's phone?
 @Alikelystorey Because he was responsible, that's why.
 @Alikelystorey Are you serious? The girl was molested and the stepfather was apparently the one that caught the guy!  I'm sorry, you must not be a parent.  If you have a minor, and you're paying for their phone, you damn well better be checking those messages on a random basis.  Minors don't have the same privacy rights as adults, when it comes to parents.  He may have saved her life.Â
 @Alikelystorey Why is a 12 year old even having a phone like that anyway, some could ask.
Â
My daughter is almost 20 (in 2 days!), but when she was under our roofs (daddy and I are not together), we'd check on her computer use, talk to her about the usual dangers and tricks perverts do, and otherwise be responsible parents...she did not have her own cellphone until she was 18-ish, but if she had one at 12, damn straight mom and dad would be checking!!
 @DMT  @Alikelystorey oh. it's that typical "attack the step parent" mentality on the internet. Sounds like the stepfather did the right thing. Â
12 year old girl at a convicted child molesters apartment......nice job parents.
