Do you know any sex offenders?

I know somebody who was arrested for child porn.

He was always a weirdo.

We were only acquaintances, but I dropped him like a hot rock.

I use the sex offender registry as a dating service.

well, my dead grandfather was a rapist. and my er dr was convicted of procuring child porn and putting cameras in the bathrooms. a frightening number of people who I used to know have been convicted of sex offenses of one sort or another. rape and murder seem to be Vermont pass times.

OP, did you also start the thread asking if any DL-era had murdered anyone?

A guy I dated briefly 15 years ago turned-up on the local sexual offender's list, having dabbled in online pandering of sexual materials. Description says: victim, juvenile male.

No. Why do you ask?

My godfather molested a girl but he was never convicted.

I worked for20+ yrs in law enforcement & was shocked at how prevalent child molestation is.

Every now & then you see a news report about a molester being released into a “safe” neighborhood & the subsequent hue & cry, so for kicks I checked my zip code in the sex offender registry & was surprised by the sheer number of offenders. And I think that’s only the violent ones who are flagged.

I work in a high school and, over the years, have known quite a few young psycopaths (they exist all around us). You just do what you can with them and hope for the best once they graduate.

A few years ago, there was one kid who seemed a bit slow, rarely spoke, and always had a really flat affect. He ended up focusing on trades, which my school is known for (and people who get into trades make more money than I, a university graduate, ever will!)

Anyway, this guy, a couple of years after graduation, was arrested for extorting underage girls online. He’d get them to send him naked pics and then blackmail them. The girls involved were really traumatised. I never would have suspected this guy was capable of something like that.

I just remembered in 1990 or ‘91 when I was working rides at an amusement park, a new supervisor being introduced throughout the park, even though he did t supervise my area. Literally that same night he raped an “area host” (cleaner) in one of the bathrooms of the area he supervised.

"Do you know any sex offenders? "

Yes.

"Are there any in your family?"

None that I know of. But it wouldn't surprise me.

"Do you maintain a relationship with them?"

I don't maintain any relationship with any sex offenders.

" Do you think they should have to register as a sex offender?"

Absolutely.

Not only that, I have no problem with people killing sex offenders. Obviously, there are real life problems that this would create if such things were allowed. Bit if I were a "Dexter type" (no such animal in real life) I would dedicate myself to killing sex offenders.

There are some Datalounge trolls who love defending rapists, abusers and so on.

I wouldn't mind if something bad happened to them.

Sadly we all know the disgusting sex pest The Brooklyn Seacow.

I went to law school with a guy that got 20 years for child porn. We weren't exactly friends (except Facebook) but hung out as part of the pretty small "smokers" group that went outside between classes. He was hot, and I did try to hit on him once but he said he was straight. In hindsight, I guess I was too old for him.

I once befriended a guy who was bipolar who at one point had been off his meds and in a manic horny promiscuous state, messaged/send nude pics to a teen on Grindr who turned out to be a cop undercover... He ended up having to register as a sex offender.

Yeah, I do. The ex-husband of a friend. He was drunk and made overtures to a young teen. I believe it was a one time thing.

The girl's father was a friend of his (he was living with the family after the divorce) and they negotiated something where he didn't have to go to prison, but he did have to register as a sex offender.

Afterwards, he reached out to me for help and friendship. I cut him out of my life and I'm sorry I was so harsh. A little empathy might have gone a long way.

Unfortunately, I have a relative (by marriage) who’s a convicted sex offender. His wife, who I love, decided to get back with him after he got out, even though he went to prison for sexually abusing her daughter.

I have absolutely nothing to do with him…at all. It’s interesting…I frequently FaceTime her and even if he’s in the room or car, she’ll go through great lengths to make sure I don’t have to see or talk to him.

The relative and her daughter seem to have forgiven him, even though the daughter clearly struggles today because of the abuse. He’s also admitted that while he doesn’t act on it, he still struggles with being attracted to children 🤮

I believe in rehabilitation and all that…and who knows how many unconvinced secret sex offenders I know…but I choose not to have people like that in my life.

I actually know two. The first was a friend of my sister who intercepted a video of her affair with a friend of theirs. The jealous husband sent the video around to their entire friend group in a mad fit of rage. Unfortunately, because of the revenge porn laws, he is now, legally, a sex offender.

The second was a pretty good friend of mine in high school who ended up getting caught in a public parking lot with a kid just shy of 16. He was never convicted for reasons unknown to me. But he is extremely lucky. I hope he learned his lesson.

One I know personally although I haven’t seen the person in over 30 years. The other is a relative of that person and know of him rather than knowing him. The cases were entirely separate. They were both creepy fundies. They both went to prison. One is still there. I hope he does his full sentence.

My father’s ex lawyer. He was a Donald Trump and George H. Ross loon even before 2008. He was arrested in 2014 for molesting a client’s teen daughter.

Um, yes. But they are all innocent.

Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

No, I don't.

R15, I've never even met this woman you “love,” and I already despise her. Any mother who would take back a man who sexually abused her daughter is despicable. Your child ALWAYS comes first. I don't care if the daughter forgave him. The fact that the daughter still “struggles” today proves further that it is wrong.

R4, no.

I was baptized by one of the pedo priests that made the news when the molestation scandal first erupted. Otherwise, as far as I know that’s it.

Only Prince Pedrew and Michael Jackson.

Agree with R22, R15. But I also have my doubts about the story. A mother might make excuses for a guy like that, or choose her what she sees as her own best interests over her daughter’s, but only if the guy doesn’t get caught. Once the guy went to prison for molesting his daughter he became virtually unemployable and they would both be shunned by their community. What’s in it for her to stick with him?

Whatever the reason Op started the thread, it shows just how common this is. I know four.

1. A friend husband was turned away at the Canadian border for a past offense. My friend characterized it as a misunderstanding.

2. An officer in an organization that I belong to created cyber child porn. It was entirely computer generated; therefore, not illegal at the time. He received a misdemeanor charge, and he was taken off the list after 10 years.

3. A client of mine was arrested for child porn. He was watching it at work. He was a nice guy and pretty smart. I honestly think he was intentionally being self-destructive. He definitely was smart enough not to look at child porn on a company computer belonging to small company owned by his sister and brother-in-law. He was killed in prison, which may have been his intention.

4. I was molested by my mother.

My great-grandmother was molested by her father throughout her adolescence. Fucked her up for life. Her parents were separated-- a big deal in the 30s. Once a month, he'd come to town, send his sons off to the movies for a few hours and molest his daughter in the cheap room he rented. Later learned that he also molested his teenage sister-in-law (my great-great grandmother's sister) when they both came to America from Wales. He got her pregnant and she killed herself. I hope the piece of shit is rotting in hell. The after-effects of his actions have rippled through time and continue to haunt my family to this day. I have photos of these beautiful women framed all throughout my apartment. Their memory lives on. I've never seen a photo of my great-great grandfather.

Do the two guys who raped me count?

I don't understand the question and I refuse to answer it.

R26, sadly, it happens more than you think. Many women are naive, self-involved, or ignorant and take back known sex offenders. I worked at a center for victims of domestic and sexual abuse. It's amazing how many mothers took back boyfriends/husbands because the men promised never to do it again and then did it again. The worst were the mothers who didn't believe their kids when they told them they were being abused. I didn't last long at that job. It's not shocking when you consider the sexual abuse the Catholic Church covered up. People knew both inside and outside the Church, including parents.

R27, you might want to move #4 to the top of your list. 😲

A guy I went to school with is currently serving 13 years for brutally raping a 73 year old neighbour woman. He was 23 at the time, good looking and popular.

R33 Post his photo.

R34 that would be outing my location on DL. In a sex offenders thread so no thanks.

R35, LOL!

I know someone who did time for child molestation but he claims it was part of a nasty divorce. I believe him.

I've just realised I know more than one. One raped and beat up a local drug addict/alcoholic woman. She was told not to press charges because of her substance issues and the lack of witnesses. She died of cancer since then. He's still walking around free.

A other was this creepy guy who was an ex cop. He ran a youth hostel and would spy on the hitchhikers though holes in the wall like Norman fucking Bates.

I've known a few that were convicted.

Several in the military.

A high school classmate that got railroaded during a period of social hysteria because she took a freshman to prom and neither her nor her parents were prepared for it and didn't believe it would blow as it did, so they didn't lawyer up immediately.

In the same period, a friend got busted for making videos of himself. Not even distributed. They were found because his father was accused of embezzlement and there was a search of his home..

years later, another friend who flashed his dick at mardi gras. . . which was another period of mass hysteria.

and a professor that had made the UK's list.

R3 This + your comment on the murder thread and no wonder you post on KF.

I had a long online “relationship” with a guy who ultimately told me he’d been caught using underage porn. He’s one of the reasons I now know that online relationships are not relationships.

[quote] A client of mine was arrested for child porn. He was watching it at work. He was a nice guy and pretty smart. I honestly think he was intentionally being self-destructive.

There are a LOT of ways to self-destruct besides looking at child porn. This guy was getting off on CP.

I recently found out that one of my cousins had sexually assaulted another cousins (they're siblings). I discussed this with my own siblings and found out that the father (of these 2 cousins), my uncle, tried to sexually assault one of my siblings when my sibling was under 10 years old. Also, another cousin (same immediate family) assaulted me.

So, looks like that whole family (my uncle and his kids, i.e., my cousins) are pretty fucked up.

Yes, sadly.

A friend had dropped off the radar, yet I knew he wasn't dead. I feared he'd had a stroke or something. Out of the blue and because I am suspicious I googled "United States v. Friend's Name" and there it was in lurid detail. He was sexually abusing a young relative and violated the Mann Act! He did time (not much), and is now out. We've known each other for thirty years and this shit is completely out of the blue.

An ex-boyfriend of mine was arrested for raping a 14-year-old boy years after we broke up. When we dated I was a twink, but not underage

My good buddy, Matt Gaetz

I discovered, after knowing a guy for a while, that he is a registered sex offender. Everyone in our circle of friends is aware of his situation. The incident occurred 20 years ago. He was caught in sting operation, trying to arrange a meeting with an underaged guy online. I think, because of the circumstances of the situation, and the fact that his family is quite well off, enabling him to spend a considerable amount of money on his legal defense, he never served any time. But it completely destroyed his life.

He has been extremely careful about his behavior since then. He hasn't had so much as a traffic violation. But I really believe that if he were absolutely sure that he would not be caught and never suffer any negative consequences, he would act on his inclinations. I don't think he will (or can) change. But the fear of what could happen keeps him in line.

If you didn't know about his past, you would find him an extremely likeable and engaging sort of guy.

r40, I am not sure what you mean by that? I didn't murder or rape anyone and cut any of those people out of my life and from your tone I am inferring that you disapprove of KF. I don't mind your comment, it actually just has me confused.

Two.

When I was ten years old, the eighteen year neighbor boy put his mouth on my dick after we finished swimming in our then-new pool. There were a bunch of us, but he followed me into the basement. Then he pushed me to the floor and told me to do it to him. I did not. Some ten years ago, I was poking around on sex offender lists and saw his name. He married, had children, and was convicted of molesting his own kids.

My boy scout troop leader was skeevy and all the other boys seemed to know it. My older cousin told me to watch out and never go somewhere alone with him. Our group used to meet at the town park, in a pavilion. I was "quartermaster" and one evening, I had to use the restroom bad, so I went there before I returned to clean up and put away the meeting stuff. The scoutmaster must have thought I had left (I was gone about fifteen minutes), and when I came back in, he was blowing another boy scout. I hightailed it out of there. Because (at least in that era) boy scouts were affiliated with a church, I told the minister the following Sunday and asked him what I should do. He interrogated me pretty well, asked if I had told anybody else like my parents – I hadn't; we weren't that kind of family – then he told me he would take care of it. I made excuses not to go to the next couple of scout meetings, but then one Sunday at church, the minister introduced the newly elected members of the church council. Yep, the scoutmaster was one of them. I begged off staying in scouts and never went back. In the early 1990's, I read in the local newspaper that the scoutmaster had been convicted of multiple counts of molesting, oral copulation, sexual penetration, etc. with minor boys. He spent most of the 90's, 2000's, and 2010's in prison. He was released in 2020 due to COVID, caught COVID, and died in December 2020. Good riddance.

r48 Not r40 but I'd assume because of it's reputation for vigilantism. . . and it's not uncommon for those with traumas or overexposure to trauma inducing events even on the peripheral to be drawn towards such. There's not really an effective support group for that sort of thing. For as many predators online, there as many vigilantes lurking in its dark corridors... always has been. Though, it's a kind of self destructive cycle in and of itself. . . as much as half overlap.

I've never been attracted to anyone under 35. I'm repelled by flippant, fickle, arrogant, ADD blank airheads.

No….well not really….kinda….maybe just a little….it’s kind of complicated….

This guy's story is harrowing, but you wonder where his parents were.

I don't understand the question and I won't respond.

r50, I can neither disagree with nor be offended by that. Thank you for explaining.

Two people I went to high school with sis time for different instances.

1. This guy was dating a single mom with a 7 year old daughter. He was playing a video game with her. They started rough housing and she went ant told her mother (who was in another room) that he touched her vagina. He vehemently denied it was anything intentional, she was wearing a knee length nightgown with no underwear. He was found guilty and did 2 years. He no longer has to register. Ever since that happened I will not let myself be alone with anyone’s child.

2. A woman, who was a very hot, popular girl in high school, procured a 19 year old friend for the purpose of a three way with her boyfriend. She did not inform or discuss this with the other woman but instead roofied her. She went to prison for 7 years, the boyfriend only got a few years. She has to register for life. I just looked her up and she is rough looking. She used to be so pretty.

I think the majority of old , particularly white, men are rapists or pedophiles.

No. I hope.

There is a subreddit for sex offender support. They aren't supposed to minimize their crimes when discussing it, but I've seen countless people twist stories.

There are often women seeking advice for their significant other. One was defending her boyfriend because the 10 year girl initiated sexual contact. Right, I'm sure. Oh, and of course she has young daughters and can't understand why CPS won't let him live with her.

I read there sometimes because I'm trying to understand the history of sexual abuse in my own family.

I got harassed at work by one of them and they fired him

Yes through my job. A lot of guys arrested for possession of child porn. Most of them are sketchy looking but you've got some fairly young guys who are hot. They always surprise me some.

Our 7th grade English teacher was a pedophile. He would invite teenage boys to his house to play Dungeons and Dragons. He had a pool and would encourage them to undress in front of him and he'd take pictures.

He spent time in prison for that. Good. He survived prison. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

About 20 years ago, my brother called on a Friday night saying "Quick, quick turn on Dateline!" And there was a story about a teacher from his junior high who had been arrested for grooming and abusing young boys. I went to a different school due to a family move, but I remembered the teacher. He was the "popular" coach who also ran the drama club. Always with a guitar being all hip and modern.

My gay brother was SO OFFENDED the teacher never hit on him!

I don't believe they can be cured.

[I don't believe they can be cured.]

Certainly.. With enough smoke, a good hook and a lot of time.

A high school classmate of mine spent several years in prison for a rape conviction.

A friend of mine since 1970 was charged with 1st degree sexual assault with his minor children and a couple of neighbor kids.

He won't get out until he's in his 80s. I had to search for "mandatory release date". I wasn't aware what that meant, exactly.

I think he was molested by an uncle when he was a child. Doesn't this give them a mindset that it's "okay" for them to do it, too?

We were fuckbuddies during our college/early adult years. He was always horny.

I know plenty of them.

A guy I went to high school with apparently became obsessed with an ex girlfriend of his. He went crazy after the breakup and started stalking her, harassing her, and posted naked pictures of her to porn sites. It turned out the girlfriend was underage in one of the pictures he posted, so he got a child pornography charge added on top of all the rest and had to serve a lengthy prison sentence and register as a sex offender. I was very shocked, though, because in school he was always so popular, well liked, and was nice to everybody. He was one of the last people I'd expect to be busted for something like that.

We also had a history teacher at our high school who was rumored to sleep around with students for years. He got away with it until the parents of one of the girls found texts from the teacher in her cell phone. Needless to say his wife left him and he served 5 years in prison.

My mother also has an estranged older brother who never served time or anything, but he molested another relative who was living with them at the time. He swears it was a consensual relationship but he was in his early 20s compared to the relative being 13 or 14 so she couldn't have consented even if she wanted to. But apparently she didn't. If my grandma would leave the house for any reason like to go to the supermarket, she'd cry and beg to be allowed to go along so she wouldn't have to be left home alone with my uncle.

There is also a guy who lives on the same street as me who was busted for child pornography. I have never spoken to him in my life but I see him out walking his dog all the time.

R7 is right. I didn't realize how common it was until I worked in a public defender's office after law school.

That said, he was never arrested for it, but my next door neighbor when I was a kid, molested his daughter and granddaughter and everyone knew. He fathered a child (a boy) with the daughter, who died in his early-20s from a drug overdose. The granddaughter is a meth head. The neighbor died a couple of years ago.

We had another neighbor that my mom hated. As an adult, my mom told me that he "hit on" her, but she said it in such a way that I think he may have tried to assault her. I Googled him and learned that he's now doing life in prison for molesting a girl that he's related to. The creepiest part: I found out from my search his son and grandson also got arrested for sex crimes. The son has a statutory rape charge and the grandson molested multiple younger family members.

R56 How does one unintentionally touch a vagina?

I ask, because I have no problem not touching them!

R18 My very attractive aunt got knocked up at 18. Her boyfriend was born in the same calendar year as her, but was several months younger, so he 17 at the time. His mom tried to have my aunt arrested. It didn't work, but I always wondered how the cops reacted to the report.

R50 That was kind, I'm going with what you said.

My mom’s dearest friend is married to one. He was a supervisor at a government agency and would call women into his office, and he would be jacking off, or he’d rub his dick against their butts while passing them in the hallway. He got away with it for a few years, because none of the women ever discussed it. He had to register as a sex offender for a number of years, but I don’t see his name on the list anymore. They used to constantly move, people always adore her, and tolerate him, he’s a jerk. Ultimately, someone would google him, the story would get out, then they would be pariahs.

I don’t understand why she stays with him, she’s pretty, charming, and an amazing cook. He’s ugly, antisocial, and lazy. She has never discussed it with my mom, only that she isn’t with the great love of her life.

I was molested.

Yes, we know.

I had a male gym teacher who would go behind teen girls, shake their shoulders and cry, "Milk shake!". Can you imagine that today?

It's funny, in a way, how things were said and done in the past that today are considered harassment.

Jokes about women, especially. Comments about special needs children and adults.

I suppose we're in a better place, though. Simple things can have long-lasting psychological effects.

Yes and he belongs in jail. He’s a compulsive liar and master manipulator. He should never be released.

I put in time in food service when I was younger, so, absolutely.

*Shudder*

A very hot guy I tried to meet up with years ago when I lived in another state was found in possession of child porn. Got himself locked up, didn't age well, though it's been at least a decade and I think he was sentenced to just six years.

A guy I've known for years had sex with a teen when he was in his mid-20's. He met her in a bar so he thought she was of age. This was years ago and I think it's ridiculous he is still on the registry.

A couple years back, my uncle was arrested for distributing child sexual assault material on the Internet. He was 74, and it was his first arrest. I'm guessing that he had used a file sharing program to download the video from someone, and then others were able to download it from him. He aways had very advanced computer networking equipment even though he wasn't a techie. The family surmised that he had could have been involved in that type of behavior for years, but finally got caught because, due to advanced age, he probably forgot to cover his tracks. He passed away before his court date.

Went high school in the eighties - there were 2 male teachers who would discuss attractive female students and their attributes in front of class. One of these was a highly respected teacher who went on to teach in a magnet school.

There was another youngish, attractive male teacher who would invite good-looking and built male students to his boat and home. At some point after I graduated one of the students complained and the teacher was fired.

At my high school (early 90s)l, a female student was being harassed through obscene phone calls. When police were interviewing her, they asked if the caller's voice sounded familiar. She said that it sounded like her history teacher. The police put a tracer on the phone, and sure enough, the caller turned out to be the girl's history teacher. He was also the coach of several sports teams.

The news of the arrest broke right away. The man's wife left with their sons a few days later. The two sons were students at the school when it happened.

I knew one, was friend of my first ex and became a moderately good friend of mine, and even a tenant for a little while. Then he got busted for child porn, and I cut him dead, also made sure he went on a sex offender register.

I'm with R10, no time or care for them whatsoever

R84 Hello is this the cocksucker residence?

Sadly just about every male in my family including two of my brothers.

R82, it figures that when a senior citizen finally masters technology, it's for child porn. I'm still trying to get my 60ish mother to understand the difference between a text message and an email. 🤬

Most of them post here.

An acquaintance I know who was caught and served time for possessing and sharing child porn (no actual touching) was caught when his unencrypted texts were found on the phone of someone else who was busted (thru a similar chain of events). The FBI raided the home, took all the electronics, and then my friend was under a gag order to stay mum.

About a year later, after all of his contacts had been raided and their electronics seized, he was then arraigned, pleaded guilty and served 16 months in the federal pen.

One person leads to 25, and those 25 each lead to 500 and so on. Each case basically spawns many others. It was fascinating to read all the court filings, which are public, and see how methodical it all was.

A boss from a job in the early 2000s was convicted of possession in excess of 17,000 images of child sex abuse material, both boys and girls. He served 5yrs and 8 months, with ten years of supervised release. He'll be 76 this year, and still has about six years of supervision left.

He was always a particularly gruff man, who insisted on doing everything by the book, and took pleasure in pointing out those who didn't. I haven't seen him since well before his arrest, but something tells me prison probably didn't change him.

This guy Calvin, who was interviewed on a recent Soft White Underbelly upload, surprised the hell out of me. He's from an affluent area of Monmouth Co, NJ, Sea Lake Heights. He's talking about all the suicides in that area, his dysfunctional upbringing, drug and alcohol addiction, how when he was younger he'd hoped to play hockey in the NHL blah blah and then bam..outta nowhere admits to being a convicted sex offender because he put his penis in his landlord's (a single mother) 12 year old daughter's hand. WTF? I hate to admit it but there's something kinda attractive about him.

This is a genuine question, if you are on the sex offenders register are you allowed to travel overseas for a vacation?

One beautiful spring morning I drove past a neighbor's house and I saw the old man and his wife and adult son enjoying breakfast. I drove around the corner and noticed huge black spray painted words KIDDIE FUCKER, CHILD MOLESTER painted on the side of their white house. I checked the sex offender registry and sure enough it was the big lumpy adult son.

R93, as I posted up thread, a friend husband was denied entrance to Canada because he was on a list.

The other interesting fact I learned is that the acquaintance had over 9,000 images on his phone. The images were entered into a database and many of the children had already been identified as trafficked and my acq. had to make restitution to about a dozen of them. They are now adults, but when people are arrested who possess or have trafficked their images, they are in rotation to receive these payments.

The universal answer is yes, we all know sex offenders. We may not know who they are, and their offenses may never come to light, but we all have at least one predator in our lives

My boyfriend is a sex pest

R93 You have to disclose it on your US passport application and an endorsement code is on one of the back pages stating you are a sex offender (this may only be for child sexual abuse however). Most countries that Americans are allowed to travel to visa free will not allow people with criminal records to travel visa free. Other crimes you can lie about, but not if it’s stamped in your passport.

Yes, but to be fair my father is more of an acquaintance.

R84 I remember you telling that story before. You said his family just disappeared.

Yes, the news story broke the same day as the arrest. The boys didn't come to school the next day. (They went to the same school as the victim, where their dad was a teacher.). The mom took them and skipped town.

Could there really be that many Boy Scout molestations? Each camp-out would have had to be an orgy.

I do. You could say that she was the most famous woman in the world at one point. She used to cruise the streets of grungy Manhattan looking for teenaged Latinos to fuck. She would take them in her limo and if she was really horny, she'd just rip their clothes off and have sex with them right then and there. Then she wrote about liking underage boys in her sexual liberation masterpiece Sex.

I have a friend who is a sex offender. It's a rather sad story for him with the registry. He was a young teacher, about 23 years of age and had sex with a sixteen year old student. He spent about six months in jail. And because of the position of being a teacher he has a higher grade of whatever it is on the sex registry. He has been on the list now for going almost twenty years now. The decision he made at 23 has ruined his life. He has been able to carve out some life for himself. He had to go into business for himself because he couldn't get employed. He can't travel anywhere internationally and he has to register every year for the rest of his life as a sex offender, as things stand now. The kid he slept with is 36 now and he is almost 43. I feel bad for him because he is a really nice guy, but he will live with this for the rest of his life.

In my line of work I've met two women who were convicted sex offenders. Both were convicted of having sex with their high school students. Both were bipolar and committed the offenses during manic episodes. It really destroyed their lives.

For awhile there was a priest at my church who always gave me the creeps when he said hello to me. He eventually committed suicide. Years later several of us who went to that school received letters from a law firm asking if we had experienced any sexual abuse by him. I don't know what the outcome was and his name never appeared in any databases I searched.

My dad and his brother. They were both pedos and both autistic. Both geniuses. I didn't find out about my uncle until I was in my 40s when he told my ex how great it was to go to Thailand and fuck 12-year-olds. My ex was really shocked that he admitted that and frankly so was I. I'm a female so had a fucked up childhood and my mom walked in on him with me in the shower when I was 6 or 7. She looked the other way, she was a narc. and mostly tried to show the world how perfect her family was. I started doing some research because it seemed strange that a couple of brothers would both be pedos. I found out that Pedos are is often because the mother had severe stress during pregnancy. My grandmother's firstborn had cerebral palsy and then had a couple of more boys 2 years apart and she was the only one to take care of all three. I also learned that around 30% of autistics are pedos. Apparently, they mix up bonding with a child with sexual attraction.

And the FBI says 1/3 of men are pedophiles. I believe that. And the rest of them are getting hard for 14 to 17-year-olds.

A few months ago a guy on Grindr said he was into kink. I said what kinda kink, expecting BDSM, handcuffs etc. He said animals and kids! I reported him and blocked him and haven't seen him online since. It still sends shivers down my spine,

Are home wrecking pint sized harlots considered sex offenders?

My dentist of over 25 years is in jail for bestiality, among other offenses.

The only sex offender I "knew" was the seminarian at my church, who got caught about ten years ago. Never saw him at church ever again, and the church never commented on his well-publicized arrest or his sudden leave of the church.

R109, who the hell admits that to someone they just met on Grindr? He knows the risks. Unless, of course, you give off a pervy vibe. 🤨

I belonged to a Catholic organization at one point that over the years had to kick out three priests for this stuff. Two were also involved in embezzlement from their parishes. Only one was still in active ministry at time. Two had "stepped away" from their ministry but did not disclose to this organization that they had been dismissed by their respective superiors for such behavior. The third was active in the diocese, having a hustler living with him and stealing from the poor Hispanic parish he served. Apparently a dyke nun who ran the school turned him in and claimed she was sexually harassed because she walked into his office and saw porn on his PC. So the sexual harassment claim was weak but he deserved it because he stole from the poor.

No...

R105 It’s really nice that you have stood by your friend. Personally I find it ridiculous that he is still on any kind of register 20 years later, and even worse that he’s on it until he dies. Yes he messed up, only once, but he is paying far too heavy a price for it.

[quote]And the FBI says 1/3 of men are pedophiles.

They don't say any such thing, of course.

Maybe 1/3 of 1%

BULLSHIT, R107. About 30% of all sexual abuse victims are assaulted by family members, Link actual sources, not QANON shit, to prove your lies. You cannot. You sound really damaged, hon, get more help.

I am getting really tired of the kiwi farms refugees and their use of "autistic" as a pejorative.

My partner's (now-dead) older brother molested him from the time he was a toddler until he was around 10. He was also a Scout leader who molested numerous boys in his troop. Their wealthy grandmother paid off the families so he wouldn't get charged.

At the company where I used to work, there was a graphic designer who was closeted, religious, and married to a woman. He got busted for exposing himself to kids at a park.

[quote] I reported him and blocked him and haven't seen him online since.

You haven’t seen him because you’ve blocked him.

My father and uncles were all rapists but none of them was ever convicted of anything. They raped me and my brother from the age of 8 until I was 16 and ran away from home. We was both effeminate, chubby, obviously gay and unattractive. We growled in small town Montana. It’s open season on boys like us and we could be beaten, assaulted, verbally abused or raped at will. If the cops didn’t join in they’d just ignore it.

Gosh R122. At that point is it called Rape or Tradition?

Yes. He was extremely immature at age 24 and was in love with a 15 year old.

It seems like some people are required to register as sex offenders for some stupid minor (not as in age) shit.

More American sexual hysteria.

I do, let's call him Joe, then19, was arrested for possessing kiddie porn. He is now 30 years old and his life is a disaster. The consequences have been catastrophic: homelessness, drug abuse and mental issues, etc.

I don't want to derail this thread with the details So maybe I'll start my own thread and poll the DataLounge hive mind on this as I'm trying to help Joe but have no idea how to go about it.

R126 Forget it. You cant help "Joe". Nobody can help "Joe" Its a congenital biological disorder, I remember reading an article that linked to research done on it, had brains scans using MRI that showed clear differences in brains structure

Experts cant help "Joe". Dont knock yourself out trying

R126, Joe’s a lost cause. Those feelings can't be changed through therapy, prayer, threats, or black magic. Keep him away from your kids.

[quote]r10 Not only that, I have no problem with people killing sex offenders.

I don’t believe I know any sex offenders, but I’ve always thought vigilante strangers who propose murdering them are kind of simplistic, 1-track types. It’s like child killers being treated as the lowest of the low in prison… are the road rage shooters, arsonists, and serial killers alongside them behind bars them really any better? It’s just a way for prison scum to feel better about themselves.

And yes, like every sane person, I don’t want to see children hurt, but what about Wall Street executives like Bernie Madoff (or Trump, for that matter) who knowingly ruin multiple lives while enriching their own? I have a hard time believing they’re better than an individual who molests one child. I mean, who’s done more widespread damage?

I haven’t given this deep thought, but when I hear sentiments re: the lynching of sex offenders, I think, “Well, if we go down that path, there’s a lot of other categories of people who deserve to be wiped out, too.”

R129, I don't support killing them. Nevertheless, if you can't see the difference between molesting/raping children and stealing several people’s money and why one is far worse, you're an asshole.

The only reason why people connect so much with these incidents is that being a child is something we've all experienced.

R2 sounds hot.

My long-ago ex took a trip to Thailand with the son of an Apollo astronaut. On the way home, the guy was arrested at the airport for having pictures of very underaged naked boys in his laptop.

My Uncle. He was my mom's brother-in-law so not biologically related. My mom told me how he would expose himself to her and her sisters (she had 5) and nobody said anything--this was the fifties after all. My mom shrugged it off saying he stopped doing it to her after she wouldn't react at all. She thought men were idiots in general so this was just more proof. When his daughter, my cousin, grew up she reveled that he molested her as a child.

When Uncle the Carbuncle died his wife, my aunt, put his ashes in an urn by the fireplace. Another aunt would walk over and kick it every time she visited. All the molester's wife wanted to know after he died was who he had an affair with. She asked my mom to drive her around to various addresses to find his mistress. Women are idiots too.

*revealed* not reveled sheesh

R134 -I like broads like your aunt, the one that would kick the urn. I bet she had tales to tell about your uncle.

When I go to the library near my home, there is a sheaf of all the local sex predators hanging on a ring on a bulletin board right next to the bathroom. Oh, I’ve perused them and a few are HAWT!!

R126 here.

The worst part is that Joe himself is a minor in the photos found on his phone. He met the pedo when he was a teenager and allowed him to take sexual images of him with other teen boys.

When Joe was arrested, the photos showed him as a teenager. But they were thought to be the worst of the worst because there were some bondage photographs of him as a teen with other teen boys. This all happened in a very conservative area, and with no support from his horrified Christian family and an overworked public defender, it was a very bad situation. So he entered a guilty plea, no trial. And that's why I'm trying to help him out, he was more a victim than a perpetrator.

And yes I've seen/read the court notes and documents. But for some reason, the police will not release the arrest records to Joe and told him he'd have to go to court and have a judge order for its release. So that's where this is at.

They never apprehended the pedo.
