The Quad-City Times is reporting that a 14-year-old Davenport Central High School student is charged with "theft, extortion and sexual exploitation of a minor," as he allegedly stole a female student's iPod. According to Davenport Police Capt. David Struckman, the 14-year-old thief told the girl he would give the iPod back in exchange to a video of herself "performing a sex act."

I'm trying to remember what I used to do when I was 14. All I had back then was a PlayStation and a basketball. I had a neighbor who possessed the same two items and he was just about as badly informed about sex as I was. Think this is the recipe to achieving a certain level of normality in this messed-up society of ours?

So anyway, Capt. Struckman also revealed that the police only got involved near the end of last week, just before this week's break from school, according to the same source. He stated that "a young female student's iPod was stolen from her purse. The next day, a note appeared in her purse telling her if she wanted her iPod back, she had to perform a sex act and put it on video and e-mail it to the suspect," the web site reveals.

So, this 14-year-old student actually thought she'd do it? Was the girl addicted to her Apple player, or what?

The Quad-City Times piece doesn't specify what kind of Apple iPod it was that got stolen. I mean, had it been an iPod shuffle, the girl might have just sent that video of herself, not performing a sex act, but laughing at the horny student for his pathetic act. Now, if we're talking iPod touch here... that's a different story altogether. Not saying that a girl is more likely to perform a sex act to get her stolen device back, should it be an expensive one. The thief, however, would have more confidence that she would, if this was the case. This is why I thought it would have been relevant for authorities to disclose the iPod model.

Although the thief and extortionist's identity was determined, he is a juvenile, thus authorities couldn't reveal his name. The young criminal may have stolen at least two more iPods, Struckman said. The student is charged in Scott County Juvenile Court.
