WARWICK MAN SENTANCED ON FELONY MORALS CHARGE WARWICK- A founding member of one of the state's largesst computer bulletin board networks recieved a seven year suspended sentance after pleading no contest to felony moral charges involving two teenagers whom he befriended using his computer. Michael P. Labbe, 26, of Warwick was sentanced Thursday after reaching a plea agreement with the attorney general's office. The victims, who were 15 and 16 at the time of the offense, were present in the courtroom, and had agreed with the sentance. Labbe and Jeffrey L. Whitman of Cranston were each arraigned in District Court in April 1991 on charges of first-degree molestation and third-degree sexual assualt. First-degree childl molestation, which carries up to life in prison, involves 14 years or younger. When the case was sent to Superior Court, the attorney general's office amended the charges to a felony morals offense, which carries a maximum 10-year sentance. Whitman pleaded no contestto the same charges last fall and also received a seven-year suspended sentence. Labbe founded his computer bulletin board "Eagle's Nest" and contacted the victims through the network. The network, which Labbe operated with Whitman, was the oldest and largest bulletin board in Rhode Island and was geared to general hobbyists and teenagers. As part of the agreement, both men were ordered to undergo counseling and to have no contact with either of the boys. Pulled from the Providence Journal-Bulletin. 10/3/92
