AUGUST 6,09 Excerpted from The Smoking Gun

A creepy, loose knit group of psychopaths known as Pranknet have expanded their roster with the enrollment of another top tier psychopath from Texas, James Tyler Markle, who was convicted of raping a five-year-old girl after following her into the bathroom of a Texas church in Diboll, Texas.

Markle, 18, pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and was sentenced in 2005 to a minimum two years in custody. According to a source familiar with the case, Markle, a minor at the time, attacked the girl in September 2004 at the First Baptist Church in Diboll (Markle lives in the Texas city; the girl was visiting relatives there). When the child, who was attending Sunday services, got up to use the bathroom, Markle followed her into the room and sexually assaulted her. A source told TSG that Markle warned the girl that he would kill her parents if she did not comply with him. After the assault, he warned the girl not to tell anyone about the attack or her parents would hate her forever. According to Texas Youth Commission records, Markle was released from the Crockett State School, a youth detention facility, in December 2007 after serving about 30 months in custody.

Markle has committed an assortment of telephone pranks that have resulted in significant damage to U.S. businesses and is the subject of at least two criminal investigations. He could not be reached for comment. But in a story today in the Lufkin Daily News, Markle denied involvement in the Pranknet crimes, claiming that, "I'm a good person. I haven't done anything wrong. ... I don't go anywhere. All I do is go to church and home."

Markle has told others that as soon as his legal troubles blow over he intends to move to Los Angeles and act in films about child rape. "I'm new to Hollywood but I have a lot of experience in the genre," he told a reporter.
