Loser Cagnotti to be released from jail this week
Enrico Cagnotti is to be released from custody this week. Where he will go is going to be a mystery. His cottage/home in Tiny Beaches will probably be even more of a wreck than it allready was, but wait...Cagnotti might have met some poor woman on line, a dating site perhaps and is heading her way.
I know what you are all thinking...his lengthy stay behind bars was due to his predator behaviour, hunting for victims on Plenty Of Fish, so how could this happen? Well, Enrico did not have his priveledges taken away...I think he should have but let's wait and see what happens.
Here is the possible and likely scenario. He finds a woman (single parent bla bla bla) and has been wooing her telling her is is busy flying around the world as a test pilot or he is busy at work in Italy for his "Uncle" the Mafia boss, or he is busy at work in Mexico with his hotel business, or maybe he has added something new to his repertoire. He tells her he is flying in to meet her this week (little does she know, he is being released after being in jail since last July), and of course she is very excited. What happens when they meet...well, Cagnotti has no place to live so his sights are allready set on living with her...and he probably will get his way. This allows him to live in a home with walls (not just dry wall like his cottage), and floors, and working toilets, but at the same time, his new home allows him to stay hidden from the police. We all know, it will be only a matter of time before Enrico Cagnotti will be behind bars again, where he belongs.
So, if you are the woman who has the misfortune of calling Enrico Cagnotti your new boyfriend, or whatever he is calling himself these days and especially if you have met him on an online dating site, call the police but do not let him know. He is not supposed to be on ANY dating sites besides which, he is a conman and will be conning you out of your money. This way, the police will know where to find him and pick him up to arrest him or chase him as he runs away like a little girl.
Please read the rest of this blog to get confirmation that this parasite is a loser and not the man he so desires to be and will never be.

November 18, 2008 - Owen Sound Gets Their Man - Again!
Man jailed for web activities Had been ordered not to approach women on Internet dating sites Posted By JIM ALGIE, SUN TIMES STAFF Posted -40 sec ago
A 50-year-old Midland-area man with a long record of fraud convictions was sentenced Tuesday to a total of 17 months in jail for approaching women on a dating website despite a judge's order that he stop.
Enrico Cagnotti of Tiny Township pleaded guilty during an Ontario Court of Justice hearing before Judge G. J. Brophy to three charges of breach of probation and a fourth of disobeying a court order. In sentencing Cagnotti, the judge rejected calls for less jail time by both the defence and Crown.
Brophy said Cagnotti "needs to be sharply reprimanded" and described his behaviour in cruising for fraud targets on the Internet as "behaviour that needs to be denounced."
Defence lawyer Mary Hewitt argued that her client's jail sentence should be limited to the 113 days he has already served in custody. Grey County assistant Crown attorney Michael Martin maintained that Cagnotti should serve two months in addition to the jail time he has already served.
Cagnotti was outraged by the judge's decision. He said he only pleaded guilty because he knew that the Crown was seeking limited additional jail time.
"I wanted to go for trial," Cagnotti said. "A lot of my evidence was obtained without a warrant," he told the judge. "I don't think it's fair." As Cagnotti left the prisoner's dock, he could be heard to say "I'm going to appeal now." In sentencing, Brophy cited Cagnotti's lengthy criminal record that began in 1996 with a conviction for uttering threats and includes more than 20 more convictions and lengthy jail terms for crimes including fraud, theft and forgery.
Martin said Cagnotti approached women on the dating site, plentyoffish, using the pseudonyms "Roma 27" and "Mr. Intrigue" and misrepresented details of his identity.
In one case, a Barrie woman complained to police there about a possible fraud after Cagnotti met with her face to face on four dates. He told her he drove a $1 million Mercedes. The woman became concerned and contacted police.
In another case, a Sault Ste. Marie woman contacted through the site was told by Cagnotti that he was an airline pilot who owned a private flight services company.
In August of 2007, Justice Julia Morneau prohibited Cagnotti from participating in online dating sites for three years or from holding himself out to be an "available partner" for other participants on such sites. The order followed convictions involving Owen Sound-area victims on charges of uttering threats and obstructing police.
"This is a long record of fraudulent behaviour which is the core of this," Brophy said Tuesday. He cited details of a victim impact statement from one of the women contacted by Cagnotti who said his approach left her feeling "very vulnerable financially and emotionally."
"She is not as trusting now as in the past," the judge said. He described the use of social Internet sites as legitimate behaviour that should not be abused by criminals.
When people post their identities on social websites in search of friendship or emotional support "they are not put up as targets on a wall for people to take shots at," Brophy said. "He is trying to get money from people by playing on people."
Plentyoffish is a free Internet dating service that claims to the the largest such service. A Wikipedia article on the site says it is financed by advertising and was established in 2004 by Vancouver computer technician Markus Frind.

APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT
[1] Mr. Cagnotti appeals an effective sentence of 18 months, taking into account

why even the sentence suggested by the Crown was contrary to the public interest and the
administration of justice.

'Incorrigible' dating-site con artist
Stiffer sentence upheld for 'incorrigible' dating-site con artist
06/03/2009 1:28:00 PM
Colin Perkel, THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO - A con artist who preyed on single women with tales of his wealth and stature deserved an 18-month jail sentence handed him last fall, Ontario's highest court ruled Friday.
In upholding the sentence against Enrico Cagnotti, the Appeal Court found the judge at trial was justified in imposing a stiffer sentence than what had been recommended by Crown and defence.
"The appellant is an incorrigible con man who seeks to victimize women for financial gain, and who shows no respect for court orders," the court said in a brief decision.
"We are satisfied that the sentence is fit."
The Crown and defence had suggested a total sentence of about nine months.
Cagnotti, 50, of Tiny Township, Ont., pleaded guilty in November to three breaches of probation and one of a court order that he refrain from using dating websites.
He already had a long record of fraud-related convictions.
In sentencing him, Ontario Court Justice George Brophy said Cagnotti needed to be "sharply reprimanded." Brophy said Cagnotti's behaviour in cruising for fraud targets on the Internet needed to be denounced.
Cagnotti complained he had been unfairly treated and said he would appeal, but the higher court, which heard his case Thursday, wasn't biting.
Brophy was justified in rejecting counsel's submissions and imposing a stiffer jail term, the Appeal Court said.
The judge only did so after giving reasons why the sentence suggested by the Crown "was contrary to the public interest and the administration of justice," the court ruled.
Cagnotti's criminal record began a dozen years ago with a conviction for uttering threats. He has since racked up about two dozen convictions and jail terms for crimes including fraud, theft and forgery, uttering threats and obstructing police.
The courts banned him in August 2007 for three years from participating in online dating sites or pretending to be an "available partner."
Ontario Provincial Police, who arrested him, said women in several towns and cities had complained about him.
Women who met or had contact with him through dating sites said, among other things, he pretended to drive a $1-million Mercedes-Benz and claimed to be an airline pilot who owned a private flight-services company.
Cagnotti used different profiles and made false claims about his wealth and prestige to women, police said.
In sentencing him, Brophy found the accused was trying to get money by "playing on their emotions and psychological needs."
"Mr. Cagnotti would appear to be a career con man," the judge said.
"I don't think it's fair," Cagnotti protested at the time.
"I made my wrong. I was willing to do what had to be done, and people that I defrauded, I paid back with restitution."
