Moreno Valley's Larry Beal.
What's the cruddiest possible scenario for a guy with (alleged) child porn on his laptop?

Lawrence Tibbals Beal of Moreno Valley might hold the world record for worst luck-having by a suspected pedophile.

According to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, the 63-year-old resident was arrested last Sunday for allegedly possessing massive amounts of child pornography. But the arrest was only the tail end of a series of very unfortunate events (well, fortunate for the panicked parentry of Riverside County, but unfortunate for Larry Beal):

On Sunday, July 29, 2012, an officer from the Moreno Valley Police Department responded to a residential burglary in progress and two suspects were detained. During the course of this investigation officers obtained information about a prior burglary in which computer equipment had been stolen. This computer equipment reportedly contained hundreds of videos depicting child pornography.

Two days and a couple search warrants later, Beal was behind bars under $50,000 bail.

So the burglars either told police they had stumbled across Beal's alleged porn machine, or something they did/said gave the dirty laptop away.

The exact investigative journey from Point A (burglary attempt) to Point B (raging child perv) is left purposefully mysterious by the sheriff's department, but one thing's clear: Beal got his computer stolen by the wrong bumbling thieves. From the Los Angeles Times:

Three suspects were arrested for the alleged break-in, including two juveniles.

One of the suspects allegedly admitted committing a second burglary: stealing Beal's laptop computer, authorities said. According to a statement released by the sheriff's department, the burglars were trying to extort money from Beal.

Oh, Moreno Valley. We know how mad you get when we brush you off as weird inbred hick-town -- but you have to admit, this one's rich. See also: The story of the school board member charged with attempted murder, forcible rape and pimping (or trying to pimp) four women and two underage girls. Oh, and now he's running for Moreno Valley City Council.

The sheriff says Beal was living in the 23900 block of Pine Field Drive. His neighborhood appears to be a desert version of the suburban hell in in Weeds:

By the way, to the funny person that signed in as Larry Beal and assumes that MediaKiller is Larry Beal…Educate yourself about the legal system…Mr. Beal is being held without bail….that means that he is still in jail and does not have access to a computer.  FYI, when you are suspected of or convicted of sex crimes using a computer; you are not allowed to own or use a computer. Try getting your education from schools and not television.

This is AMERICA....You are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty.  This guy's life is ruined. IF the TRASH on his computer is his doing or if it was planted there by the thugs that stole his laptop. AMERICA HAS GONE TO HELL IN A HANDBAG .......THE MEDIA IS NOW THE JUDGE AND THE JURY. If this guy is guilty then he deserves to be in prison....but give him a FAIR TRIAL!  Don't set him up for a miss-trial you MORON!  Look at all of the blind sheep on Facebook that have responded to your unfair article. They are mindless followers that do not think. They let ignorant people like you, convict people with your inaccurate news article that is only your grade school opinion of an unfortunate situation. News reporting should be about the FACTS and not some uneducated want to be reporter's opinion. This man that you have convicted without a trial has every right to take you and your employer to court if he is innocent of the crimes that you have convicted him of. You have ruined his life. He has lost his job; he cannot go back to his home. Don't get me wrong; I loathe anything or anyone that has anything to do with destroying the soul of a child and I also volunteer for several children's protection agencies. I have worked in the legal system and have seen a lot of sociopaths and MediaKiller has a very good point; crap like this is planted all the time. There were 3 burglary suspects and only 2 were caught in the 2nd burglary. The 3rd burglary suspect easily could have planted the images on Mr. Beal's stolen laptop. Mr. Beal could indeed be guilty BUT IT WOULD BE A TERRIBLE SHAME IF THIS ARTICLE AND WHAT THESE BURGLARY SUSPECTS DID TO HIM IS ALL FALSE ALLIGATIONS. I find it very biased that the adult burglary suspect in this case is being protected by YOU, the author of this article. Why did you only print Mr. Beal's name and address and not the adult burglary suspect's statistics? We know for sure that he or she is a criminal don't we; the 3 burglary suspects admitted to stealing Mr. Beal's laptop. PLEASE....DO ALL OF AMERICA A FAVOR...NEVER SERVE JURY DUTY...YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF MAKING A FAIR DECISION ON SOMEONE'S LIFE....OH AND THE SAME GOES FOR ALL OF YOU OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE ALREADY CONVICTED ANYONE THAT YOU READ A NEWS STORY ON WITHOUT KNOWING THE FACTS FROM THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE SUSPECT'S ATTORNEY. PUT YOURSELF IN THIS MAN'S SHOES.  THE AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!

What a bytch you are as a reported whoever wrote this piece. This person was a victim of a crime and you are smearing him and his name without even mentioning the criminal thieves involved by name. I hope your house gets ransacked and jacked and you give a high five for your victimizes like you are doing in this article to make yoursellf feel better that no one caught you for having a gay fetish with gay porn hidden on your laptop. I also hope somebody extorts you for it since you are obviously a f a g and wannabe bad boy lover. It's amazing how in American media you can be smeared after being victimized without an ounce of proof. Those people could have easily put it on his computer and used this tactic anytime anyone found their identity to keep them quiet . It's actually brilliant in amerikkka with obsession about porn and underqged females since they have bytch media like you doing the work for criminals. By the way, even if the dates of the uploads are old, the thieves could have knew this and kept a secret hard drive from months back for this purpose. Simone Wilson is a bytch and I will photoshop his image with a fag statement above it.
