Laurie Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 This article was in our newspaper yesterday. It describes an online community of predators and how they worked as a team to find their young female victims and how they abused them. Obviously it's very disturbing but it might be eye-opening for those who are naive/vulnerable to these monsters' schemes. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/crime/no-bar-was-too-low-shoreline-man-sentenced-to-55-years-for-sexually-exploiting-hundreds-of-girls/ 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Ugh, this makes me so angry that anyone would be so despicable but happy that at least a few of these people were found and convicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one dc who thinks I’m so ridiculous for warning her about these things—lots of eye rolling and indignant “I’m not stupid!” kind of stuff. But then this same dc recently gave her cell phone number to two people she met on forums so they could text unmoderated. And of course I’m still the paranoid, overprotective one. I understand! My daughter calls me a worrywart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single one of those men is despicable, but the complete evil of the primary perp is just jaw dropping. I feel like I should move and/or stop reading and watching the local news . A few days ago the local news had a story about a woman who advertises her babysitting services on care dot com and now the police are looking for parents of BABIES and TODDLERS that she may have used for child pornography. I have very little tech know-how, and it scares me how these evil geniuses can figure out all these high-tech ways to abuse, steal, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was apparently living with his parents. I just wonder what kinds of jobs he's had and if any involved working with kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just moved to a new state, not far from where we were. But close enough to a new parish that we are considering going there. I was talking to an acquaintance who has been a member there for years and find out that their associate pastor settled a sex abuse complaint out of court. And he still actively serves in a parish that has a school attached. None of the higher ups have one anything to keep him away from children and I guess there isn't enough to convict so authorities struck a deal. It's absolutely disgusting.
