Okay, I believe in second chances, (and third chances, and fourth chances) and I also understand that a lot of people are on the sex offender list who do not really belong there, and are not a danger to anybody. You know the kind I mean: They were nineteen years old and had a 17-year-old girlfriend (or boyfriend). Or they got arrested for, in all seriousness, peeing in public.
But there are other people in the datebase who are the real deal.
So what if someone who seems like he might fall into the latter category is going to move into your neighborhood? What then? After all, if he is being released, he (or she) has to live somewhere.
Those were some of the questions I was asking myself yesterday after I got an email from Daily News reporter, Jerry Barrios who sent me the following information:
Frederick Davison, 40, was scheduled to be released from Coalinga State HospitaL Tuesday night after a judge rejected the Orange County District Attorney’s Office’s lawsuit to keep him locked up in a secure environment.
[SNIP]
Davison is scheduled to live with a former girlfriend and her boyfriend in Topanga Canyon, authorities said. He will be required to register as a sex offender within five days of release and be listed on the Megan’s Law Web site.
The Orange County District Attorney’s office still believes Davison poses a danger to the community, spokeswoman Farrah Emani said.
Davison raped a 21-year-old student after meeting her on a sidewalk outside a restaurant in Huntington Beach in 1992.
He offered her a cigarette and then a ride in his new car. When Davison drove to a vacant lot, she asked to be taken back to the restaurant. She had to struggle with him for 45 minutes while he tried to rape her. He forced her to orally copulate him, Emani said.
Eleven months later, Davison sexually touched a 9-year-old neighbor’s girl’s buttock and rubbed her bare back. When the child left the room, Davison sexually assaulted her 12-year-old sister by taking her hand and rubbing it against his penis which was outside his clothing. He then tried to unbutton her pants, but she ran out of the room. The girls later told their mother about the assaults.
There’s more. But you get the idea.
The Orange County district attorney’s office sued to keep the guy locked up saying he has poor impulse control and is still sex obsessed, and other reassuring things. But it appears Davison was released anyway.
Jerry Barrios wanted to know if I thought anybody in Topanga knew Davison might be coming. (I called around. No one knew.)
She said that she had just talked with someone in the D.A.’s office who said they honestly considered him dangerous. Now the OC DA is a notorious law and order guy. But still…. It was uneasy making to imagine a guy with Davison’s record being out and around my neighbors’ daughters.
I muttered to myself something about a conservative being a liberal who’d had an icky-sounding sex offender move into his/her neighborhood.
More about this and other news later this morning.
Maybe if your lucky you can get your psychotic child molester transferred to Fort Malibu.
If your even luckier he won’t turn out to be a Muslim child molester.
Celeste, shouldn’t you be fighting to clear the pervert’s name, question the credibility of his victims, get him a job, help him gain back his right to vote, excuse his crimes on society, attack the justice system that incarcerated him, criticize the size of his cell, throw a welcoming party, and read him poetry?
Well, in the meantime, be careful about jogging in the neighborhood.
BTW, I would want to know more about Superior Court Judge David A. Thompson who released this rapist, the related laws and precedence, and the evidence presented to the court, including the medical diagnosis from the mental hospital and professionals. A summary covering some of that can be found in the D.A.’s press release.
Like others, I might jump to a conclusion that the judge is a raving liberal activist, but I don’t think that’s a problem.
Apparently, the D.A. failed to prove his case due to insufficient evidence. Everyone might “know” that the child molester is both guilty and still dangerous, but legal and evidentiary requirements might limit what a judge can or should do to keep this guy off of the streets.
The D.A. doesn’t appear to dispute the ruling, which I guess could be appealed, but feels an obligation to warn people, which is what his office did.
Since the recidivism rate for “child molesters†is only 20% higher than the rest of California inmates, I can’t understand why liberals should complain.
California recidivism rate = 70%
Child Molester recidivism rate = 90%
The use of (chemical) castration appears to reduce this rate down to 2% for child molesters, but of course the ACLU has successfully blocked this procedure. I guess the ACLU would rather have them live in Topanga.
Celeste, I did think of you when I saw this headline, but hadn’t read the details until now. Him living with a former girlfriend and her current boyfriend sounds kind of odd, not a permanent situation, so he’ll have to get a job and stand on his own two feet soon. May not be easy in this economy, but I’ve heard some horse facilities around Topanga/Malibu always need people to handle some of the daily grunt work.
Which makes me think of a rather strange story involving another kind of sex offender that caught my eye last week – it was one of those bits posted on papers around the world in the “can you believe those Americans” category. (Southerners, specifically — Woody, are you listening?)
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach (11/4) reported that one Rodell Vereen was sentenced to 3 years for “buggery and trespassing,” after being caught for a second time in 2 years buggering a horse in the same stable, by Judge Larry Hymon at the Horry County (honest) Courthouse. This time, Lazy B Stables owner Barbara Kenley not only caught him in the act but told police she has video, a sex tape, of the act. (She’d apparently set up surveillance video after the first time – no details on how it was triggered.) The first time Vereen just got probation. This time besides the time Hymon sent him for mental evaluation, but Henley is also a nervous wreck from the whole experience. “There’s a lot of ridicule and jokes going around about this. And there’s only so much a person can take.”
This is a reminder that we should check the websites for sex offenders to see who’s in our neighborhoods – but they don’t give the nature of the offense, do they?
MidlandsConnect.com from July 29 (before sentencing, while Vereen was awaiting trial in jail) has more detail, some of which touches on the issue of requiring evidence to convict. (Woody actually makes some sane points on that in #3). – In S. C. “buggery” is a felony ranked as a “crime against morality” — is there such a category in California? (OK, I know I’m giving Woody and Moore an opening to chime in that there isn’t because there’s no morality in California, so don’t bother.)
After the first conviction when Vereen just got probation, Henley suspected he was back because Sugar looked stressed and got strange infections, so she started staking out the barn overnight. Even though she saw Vereen coming or going, the cops told her she needed more evidence, so she installed the surveillance camera, which eventually caught him in a 1 1/2 hour act (ugh, I can see why Henley would be upset having to watch it), and the next time, Henley pinned him down with her shotgun until police arrived. (I think being a woman alone in an isolated setting like that – which she says was her refuge until Vereen ruined it – is one of the more legit excuses to own a gun.) Normally it’s not possible to have such stark evidence, of course, so I’d give the OC DA the benefit of the doubt that there was insufficient evidence – no DNA evidence, e.g. – but very disconcerting and no doubt frustrating for the victims. I’d definitely want him away from any minors.
I didn’t make it clear that Vereen had to register as a sex offender after the first sentencing. Which led me to wonder WHAT it really means when someone is on the list.
People are being vigilant. They’re going to go door to door to make sure everyone in the neighborhood knows this guy’s moving in, as soon as they drop their kids off with the priest.
Celeste, can’t you get Father Boyle and the boys to pay a visit to sunny Topanga Canyon … You know, a little welcoming committee with a fruit basket and bat for the young man here.
This is one of the reasons for the second amendment. He’s gonna be in your (rather large) neighborhood. Getting a sidearm and learning to use it would be useful against him and other predators. Whether you can do that on the left coast is another question.
Seriously Celeste, these things _can_ be arranged.
Quietly and with dignity to the man … Of course.
Yeah good luck with that, getting a ccw is not easy for most. Celeste might be another story with her connections. Point is that this guy should never have been released like all other peds. Guys who molest, or attempt to molest kids don’t get better but as we’re a society full of leftist weaklings more dead and molested kids will keep being the order of the day while these elitist idiots pretend that they care.
Please put your gun away Sure Fire … Your acting like your going to pee in your pants with excitement.
As I was saying … All can be handled quietly without pistol shots echoing all over the canyon walls.
Bright idea SF. Back from the bar early today?
My neighbors brother is over at his house all the time and is on parole for murder. He’s been ok but he knows who I am, who my kid is and who the guys are that come over.
Hope he stays out of trouble and as he’s an older white power type (only his tats give that away), not some young gangster, he doesn’t draw a lot of looks. My wife and son hate that he’s around so much but that’s life.
He’s an older white power type, not some young gangster (translation: black or Mexican), so Sure Fire’s cool with him.
At least you know what Davison looks like – the bigger danger are the ones we don’t know, because few of us check registries – I know I haven’t. We may get too complacent if we think we live in a “good” neighborhood. But such people may turn up as the overly helpful volunteers at some youth athletic league, someone without kids who makes parents uncomfortable and they instinctively take turns watching that person even if they let him help out – that happened with me more than once. Parents have an instinctive intuition when someone “doesn’t feel totally right.”
I’d be sure to circulate photos of Davison among people with children and pre-teens especially, and make sure they know the protocols about strangers. One tip-off is said to be an adult who asks directions of a child, for example. I disagree with Moore that the neighbors would be safer if they all carried guns, however – a bunch of paranoid people with guns can be a more dangerous scenario. Unless someone lives alone and is in a very isolated location.
Celeste makes an important point about distinguishing between the dangerous predators and those who are “registered sex offenders” because of some behavior that does not indicate danger (the 17yr old sex partner, urinating in public while drunk, etc).
I also think it important that we distinguish between pedophiles and others. Pedophiles (those who molest or have sex with pre-pubescent children) are apparently incurable. On the other hand, there are those who are attracted to young, post-pubescents. These folks are biologically more normal, but still law breakers if they act out that attraction. Unfortunately, they are too often categorized by the media as the same as pedophiles.
We saw this confusion in a big way with the Catholic Church priest scandals. Most of the actual crimes were homosexual priests with post-pubescent, but under-18 males. A few were classic pedophiles (all organizations that care for children are targeted by pedophiles).
The resultant confusion (clearly intentional by many commentators) muddied the waters. It’s probably one of the reasons that the previously mentioned category of non-dangerous folks get on the same list as baby rapers.
And added to the “non-dangerous folks” would be the likes of the horse buggerer, also a registered sex offender and felon – my point in bringing up this rather bizarre story. He’s not dangerous if you don’t have a horse, but there’s no way to know that from the list.
“He’s an older white power type, not some young gangster (translation: black or Mexican), so Sure Fire’s cool with him.”
You know Yahoo back in the early days used to have a Fight Room where you could text chat and throw punches. I used to lurk in the room and watch the dynamics; how a new combatant would wade in and eventually let fly. They always had a “tell”. #15 might be a contendah.
I agree, WBC, we just can’t get all worried about horse buggery.
Saunders, I make it a point not to encourage ex-homeboy friends (or any other friends for that matter) to commit assault, no matter how tempting the situation.
My guess is that the DA filed a motion to have the person classified as a sexually violent predator; the defense filed a response & a hearing may have occurred; the judge determined that the DA did not meet its burden of proof so the individual was released. Comparable to a defendant being found not guilty of petty theft or a murder charge who then is returned to the community.
I know you have to say that Celeste … Here’s another one, invite the rapist over for some ice cream and pumpkin pie? Seems too often that’s what the courts give them.
Fifty years ago, a family was murdered at their home in rural Kansas.
Holcomb, Kan., Nov. 15 [1959] (UPI) — A wealthy wheat farmer, his wife and their two young children were found shot to death today in their home. They had been killed by shotgun blasts at close range after being bound and gagged … There were no signs of a struggle, and nothing had been stolen. The telephone lines had been cut.
Sparky is exactly right. The DA did the same thing in 2000 and succeeded. But this time, although medical experts testified that he might be problematic, they weren’t prepared to say that he definitely met the criteria. So he was released.
I’ve spoken with the DA’s office and it is difficult to sort their law-and-order spinning from stuff that might be of genuine concern.
For instance they said he violated his parole by having pornography, indicating he was sex obsessed—which, of course, indicates no such thing. That’s preposterous. (There’s no indication it was illegal pornography, just that he violated his parole by having it at all.)
Also, they said he stalked one or more girlfriends when he was out the last time. I asked if there were charges brought or if one of the girlfriends testified to as much at the hearing. The spokeswoman didn’t have an answer to that.
So there you have it.
Unhappy emails and phone calls are now flying around liberal Topanga.
And, as I said above, I admit to having a concern. Somebody who would rape a 21-year-old, then 11 months later, when he’s out on bail awaiting trial for the first charge, assaults not one but two prepubescent girls, makes me nervous. Even though the offenses were a decade and a half ago.
I admit I’m not terribly objective on the subject of people who do harm to children.
Yeah, I don’t like gangsters of any type living by me Robbie, they bring problems with them. If you’re too stupid to realize the difference in younsters and old cons it’s on you puss.
No doubt you squat to pee Robbie.
Youngsters.
Robbie would go into a real fight room but only if SHU friends were there and butter was available.
OK, Sure Fire, I believe you. Why would you bring up the guy’s race, then? Couldn’t that story have been told without race? First you point out that he’s white, then you say you’re ok with him. Tie that in with the obvious fact that you hate minorities, and it’s a fair question to ask.
27 is disgusting, btw. Don’t ever complain about moderation again, Sure Fire. The fact that Celeste left that stinker up leaves you with no room to ever complain again about what other comments she decides to leave up.
You know Robbie, I don’t have to defend myself to you or anyone else when it comes to my comments but I’ll show you just how weak you and people like you are. When comments are as over board as the cop hate bs that sns posted it’s way different than the back and forth others engage in, even when I talk about you and butter, as Celeste said to me “get a fucking grip”.
Like a true idiot you resort to lying (much like Reggie does) and attempt to throw out that I’m a racist. You’re an icredibly weak person Robbie. To “pretend” you’re not able to recognize the difference in an old white con and young black or hispanic gangsters on your block shows you’re nothing but a fraud.
Here I’ll play cut and paste like Reg. you posted this…

He’s an older white power type, not some young gangster (translation: black or Mexican), so Sure Fire’s cool with him.
Never met a white gangster, never heard of a white gangster Rob? You pulled the race card not me. You said I was cool with the white parolee, where did I say that? Just more Robbie flinging bull shit. I said…”He’s been ok but he knows who I am, who my kid is and who the guys are that come over”. That translates to cool only in the Robbie dictionary not mine. I’m in no way “cool with him” but he’s acted ok to this point Einstein. I don’t want any parolees on my block but can’t do much about it but be cognizant when they show up…and I am.
If you’re stupid enough though to feel better with having young black or hispanic gangsters living real close to you than an old white power parolee type than you’re simply showing what a dolt you are. If you have a wife or kids or someone you love staying with you than you really don’t care much about their safety do you?
By the way, I don’t like white tweakers living in the neighborhood either and we were able to get rid of a house full about a half block down about a year ago thanks to constant calls to the local cops and them making it a project. Wasn’t worried about drive-bys with them, more pissed about my cars getting broke into.
But I’m more “ok” with that than rounds flying.
Take the racist label and shove it up your con loving ass Robbie.
Alright, Sure Fire. You didn’t need to waste a gig of Celeste’s bandwidth to explain that you’re not a racist. I just thought it was odd that you would point out that he was an “older, white power type”, and then follow that description by saying that you were basically cool with the guy. This coming from someone who normally wants petty shoplifters to get the gas chamber. Suddenly a member of a prison gang, or someone who you at least believe to be, is worthy of the benefit of the doubt? Ok….
Learn to read and quit spinning everything soemone says, that isn’t some liberal whiner like yourself, into something it’s not. That appears to be the only thing you ever do.
Now I’m going to watch football all day.
I think people like this should be put in jail. Where they will complain that the accommodations aren’t sufficiently comfortable. So they will sue. And credulous 9th Circuit judges will take their side and order their release. And bleeding hearts (like certain bloggers who will remain anonymous) will cheer. Sound good, Celeste?
“I think people like this should be put in jail.”
And the state or federal law under which he would be arrested would be…..?
Or am I to believe that your personal judgment should stand in place of any kind of legal proceedings?
As for the rest, since it bears no relationship to actual events in the world, I see no reason to comment.
Try logic. You might find it a novel and interesting experience.
Judges of the 9th Circuit are threatening to release felons from California prisons for the sole reason that their prison accommodations are infelicitous. That is an “actual event in the world,” Celeste.
Under the laws of various states, pedophiles can be held in custody following their mandated sentence if they are deemed a risk to public safety. Those are “actual events in the world,” Celeste.
Try courtsey and intelligence. You might find it a novel and interesting experience.
Meanwhile, I hope your readers will join me in my astonishment that you are actually entrusted with the education of students, as well as in my determination to have that arrangement reexamined by responsible administrators.
“This coming from someone who normally wants petty shoplifters to get the gas chamber.”
Deja Vu – It’s the Rob Thomas I knew was under that mellow, logical facade. Your music doesn’t speak to this side, Rob. Frankly I find it refreshing to see that you’re just a little malicious at your core. Well put ,or maybe adequately put? So please keep singing your songs. Your public is listening and your fan base, though not structurally sound, is large.
Well damn!*&%* Sorry I didn’t scroll further rather than try to logically deal w/Rob’s outburst. Winny Dear, your bonnet has a bee in it. It’s understandable that you’d show your abhorance for pedophiles. That’s universal. To “shoot the messenger” seems radical, dear lady.
God, i’m on a roll, Celeste. Two polite counter-points in a row! Now back to football. Surefire! Throw me another Bud.
Thanks for the calming words, Gava Joe.
(I was way too traumatized by football yesterday —[cough] USC-Stanford [cough, cough] to even consider coming near the game today.)
Winny,
So let me get this straight:
I write a post discussing my ambivalence and discomfort about having a possibly dangerous, repeat sexual predator/pedophile move into my neighborhood, and at the same time question my feelings on the matter and note with some irony that my desire to give people second chances (bleeding heart, etc. etc.) seems to come to a screeching halt when this creepy guy looks like he’s about to show up in my own community.
Then in the comments section I go further and say what I know thus far about the legality of the situation.
And your response is…..
….to attack me as bleeding heart who will cheer when the 9th circuit releases sexual predators—or some such nonsense.
THEN, when I react a bit irritably at your random rotten tomato tosses you…
…say you are astonished that I’m permitted to teach students and announce your intention to “…have that arrangement reexamined by responsible administrators.”
Really, do go for it, my dear. I’d love to see how you justify my unsuitability.
As for your other points:
1. If, instead of doing your liberals bad, prison good number, you’d bothered to actually read what I said in the comments section in answer to WBC and to Sparky (who happens to be a lawyer), then you would have known that the Orange County DA has already brought suit in order to have Mr. Davison detained under California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act, but that even the DA’s own medical experts could not say definitively that Davison met the requirements for such a detention. Thus the judge ruled that he be set free. (How do I know this? Because I’m in an ongoing conversation with the DA’s office about the matter.)
In other words, like it or not, there is at present no legal way to hold Mr. Davison.
But, really, why bother to have an intelligent, good-faith discussion about a complex and troubling issue, when it’s so much more fun to throw mudballs.
2. Please show me a link to the case in which the 9th circuit is planning on releasing “felons from California prisons for the sole reason that their prison accommodations are infelicitous.”
In the most basic way of looking at these cases Celeste, that’s exactly what it boils down to, the comfort of the inmates. At least two of these judges, in my opinion, could care less about being accurate and just wanting more to serve what they seem to feel are the people who think most like them and the safety of the citizens of the state comes second.
Their actions have been political not judicial, they need to retire.
Plata v. Schwarzenegger and Coleman v. Schwarzenegger
It’s always interesting to see foaming-at-the-mouth, semi-incoherent comments from people worried about sex offenders. I knew this guy and a lot of others like him because, for the past 25 years, I’ve been in the same situation. (Been trying to get out thru a DNA test ever since that technology became available about 20 years ago. But every time I mention those seemingly dreaded letters – DNA! – various officials scatter like cockroaches.)
At any rate, all the howling and screaming and hate isn’t going to solve anything. Sounds like a lot of you guys out there are very uninformed, too, regarding the true facts of this situation. Here’s what’s really going on:
After some sex offenders finish their prison terms, they’re dumped into a make-believe loony bin called Coalinga State Hospital (CSH). Which, by the way, doesn’t have a salad bar, but is surrounded by miles of electric-sensored razor wire and watch towers occupied by guards from the prison next door.
But in order to pretend that CSH is more of a hospital than a prison, Dept. of Mental Health officials staff the place with psychologists, social workers and other expensive personnel.
Inmates are encouraged to sign up for a lengthy, highly-structured treatment, and even though this involves a certain amount of coercion, some highly motivated individuals approach therapy with a genuine desire to improve themselves. (In fact, all the men who completed the program have not committed new sex crimes.)
Unfortunately, however, approximately 75 percent of CSH’s 1,000 inmates refuse to participate in any kind of therapy at all; they did their time – often more than 20 years – and figure a long prison term was enough. Many from this group will probably die at CSH. Indeed, a large number of CSH prisoners already stagger around on canes and a steady parade of wheel chairs looks as if it’s rolling towards the nearest undertaker. (Can’t die quick enough – right?)
In the meantime, taxpayers will shell out $200,000 to $300,000 per man in annual medical costs associated with the long-term warehousing of these infirm geezers (most of whom long ago slipped to the bottom of recidivism charts while ageing out of their youthful criminality).
Taxpayers suffer additional financial losses when CSH inmates are evaluated periodically by non-CSH psychologists who contrive the type of unfavorable diagnoses that D.A.s want. Some of these money-grubbing hacks have been able to fleece the state for a million dollars a year. And more. (See L.A. Times exposé, and Dr. Margaret Hagen’s book, Whores of the Court, re this practice).
Occasionally, however, a doctor comes up with an objective, favorable diagnosis rather than pander to public hysteria. But then, such doctors often lose favor with D.A.s, and lose money as well, because doctors who don’t produce D.A.-approved diagnoses are never again appointed to evaluate persons they’ve designated as “not likely to reoffend.†But just one shrink’s favorable evaluation will not get someone out.
The law says that two state-appointed, D.A.-approved doctors must simultaneously give a stamp of approval before a CSH inmate can walk. That’s what happened with Davison (who was also in treatment). The D.A.’s doctors, along with three defense shrinks, said he was okay to go.
Afterwards, an Orange County prosecutor, ignoring the reports of five psychologists, pouted and sulked and “seethed” while, in turn, much of the public screamed even louder (and more incoherently).
But how many of those same people adored and cried over the death of the world’s most famous pedophile: L.A.’s own Wacko Jacko? And does anybody think the governor of “Kally-fornia” should have done time for molesting the women who later sued him for sexual harassment? (At the very least, a governor should be required to pronounce correctly the name of the state he’s supposed to govern.)
Do you think Ronald Reagan should have gone to trial in 1952 after Selene Walters accused him of raping her? Or should molesters and rapists with privilege and wealth get a pass?
Perhaps society can even register not just sex offenders, but people who hit (i.e., “disciplineâ€) their children, or regularly beat their wives and girlfriends, or inflict all manner of physical violence and mental trauma on people who suffer just as much – if not more – than victims of sex crimes.
To totoist: did you even read this comments? The rate of sex offenders who commit the same crimes over and over again after being released is 90% and I as a single women who lives alone do not want that animal living next to me just to see if what the state said or or doctors said might be good enough for him to function in this society and my state actually provides them with income from social security which to me is an injustice. If I have to pay tax dollars to support this type of animal I would rather pay to keep them behind bars then to let them live next door to me and take a chance that they might be in the 10% who dont commit another crime. And as far as them being crippled and old well so are a lot of their victims and they can no more fend for themselves if someone does get into their home and rape them. So I say keep them locked up no matter the cost its not like our tax dollars do not go to other things that are a waste as my state has proven and I am sure other states do the same by giving them social security they never earned.
I know a MARRIED fire chief who was engaged in sexual perversions, stalking, false imprisonment (kidnapping without USING a weapon, even though he has a CCW permit that he conned out of the SAC SO) in N. CA, and he is still employed with the state; he is able to do and get away with whatever he wants, in uniform or not, which is another way he manages to entice unsuspecting sexual victims.
He even revealed how he threatened his wife (an attorney for the state who he also claimed to “be divorcing”), to have her disbarred for her gambling addiction/drinking if she reported his violence, but he always manages to thwart any investigators! He even admitted violence towards their son, bragged about having the biggest porn library with multi-level encryption, etc..
One investigation never outed him, because he’s very deceitful and manipulative; in the process of the investigation into a pron ring regarding his colleague, convicted of murdering his girlfriend/fiancee (a call girl, as reported by news media), yet he was able to con the new investigator and “buddied up to him”, as he had claimed.
He was masturbating in bathrooms, in his office, and in his vehicle. The man is totally out of control, but he has so much “respect” publicly that no one will investigate him, which I why I believe he pushed his wife to become an attorney, to purely protect him.
These people have WELL THOUGHT OUT PLANS about HOW, WHEN AND WHERE they will make their next covert attack on unsuspecting victims, as well as taking FULL advantage of anyone’s naivete, by using his law school education. He even threatened to sue me for slander if I told anyone. I am still afraid they will NEVER CATCH HIM because he threatens to sue anyone who reveals him!
Local law enforcement investigations are not enough! The federal government needs to override investigations in this regard. Local corruption is often involved, as well as the prevention of negative (but REAL) publicity.
These “closet” criminals hide in shadows (and parking lots). They are closet freaks who are MASKED in PUBLIC “decency.” They are NOT AFRAID OF MURDERING WITNESSES to keep their social status, as HIS COLLEAGUE was convicted of 2nd degree murder or manslaughter last year when she evidently threatened/blackmailed him to come forward to reveal his two-faced perverted life, evidently claiming he owned her money! (Sleazy prostitutes aren’t helping the matter either, as they are partly responsible for perpetuating their sadistic perversions!) I was one of the lucky ones, but I WAS able to get enough evidence and distance from him before I severed ties.
A WARNING TO ALL DECENT WOMEN: MOST MARRIED PSYCHOPATHS CLAIMING TO BE GETTING A DIVORCE USE THAT EXCUSE,as one of their manipulation tactics (even though there are legitimate claims of divorcing-once he find a “better target”, he WILL most likely divorce his latest wife).
I INITIALLY fell for his “I’m in the middle of a divorce” ploy, specifically because I only knew him from being in the same industry and fell for his “mask of decency”. and even the outright public rewards for his “safety record” etc.; but underneath the public mask belies a greedy, selfish, egotistical narcissist with very well hidden and extreme violent tendencies, often used to control his situations and others’ perceptions.
When I finally realized he was full of BS (within less than a year) and that he is truly a total loser with no REAL REGARD behind his fraudulent public persona, I told him I refused to be involved with a married man. I even now (not initially) blame the wife, as she is perpetuating his abusive behaviors, which makes her complicit in his crimes!
Shame on both of them. I was already shamed for my own ignorance, but as other decent people revealed to me, he “STOLE my trust.” Not an easy thing to forgive, so I chose to forget, yet remember that everything he ever said to me was most likely a lie.
Remember: Of COURSE THEY LOVE YOU! When you’re a decent person whose perceptions he can manipulate, you’re a prime target! Trust is an EARNED honor!
