A few years back, a pedo assaulted the grandson of close friend. Since the pedo had established himself as a "friend," he manipulated the young boy by saying that he could face jail time. He convinced the boy that if he told on him, he would go to jail, and friends just didn't do that to each other. The grandfather found out by accident what was going on. The idiot pedo had left two computers at my friends house. When they turned those computers on, he found the two of them were filled with pedo material. He and his wife turn the computers over to the police. It took 7 months to finally arrest the pedo. In the meantime, the pedo played the same game. His friends watched the house, watched the kid at school, even tried to contact the kid directly. His friends threatened the grandfather because the pedo had convinced them it was his fault he was going to jail for snitching him out about manufacturing meth. They had no idea what they were doing, they were just helping a friend out.
They arrested the guy on initial charges, but he made bail. They re-arrested him after they tore the computers apart.
His charges went from a single count to 5 counts. This time, no bail. He pled guilty to the charges in a plea deal for a reduced sentence. I know, because my friend asked me to go to the hearing. The m'fer never looked at the family, but he was surprised to see me there.
As it turn out, the pedo had told his friends that he was going to jail for some wild charge that had nothing to do with what was really going on.
The pedo's buddies still harassed and intimidated my friend to the point that he had to move out of state. I'm the only one left that knows where he's at. I was threatened by his buddies who tried to get me to tell them where he moved to. I renewed my CCW.
Footnote: they were all members of the Outlaws. A very large organization of bikers, I don't scare so easily. After a couple of years, they've left me alone, but am still occasionally followed by them. They're letting me know they're still around, watching me. I gave them nothing.
This is the mind of a pedo and the circle they run in.
The kid, now a young man, is still in counseling. It tore the family up like you wouldn't believe.
Because of his conviction and cooperation, the FBI was able to arrest 5 others. He's out now, after doing 21/2 of a five year sentence. I suspect he's back to his old tricks, because of the nature of his mind. He'll get caught again, I'm sure. But in the meantime, he's still out there doing his sh!t.
My buddy wont' have a computer in the house, no IPhones. Just a landline. He'll go the distance to protect his grandson.
Availability of social media has only increased the threat to our children. It comes at a price.
And William, if I had come across as a 16 year old girl with pics and praise, you might have fallen for the deception. You were one of the lucky ones. It only takes on misstep, one carefully crafted grooming, and you might not be where you are.
Make no mistake, they are cunning, well-organized and precise in what they do. They know their business. But somewhere down the road, that old man probably got someone else.
Thanks for not alerting law enforcement to that guy, you just sentenced someone else to what might have been your fate
