You can either take this for truth or you can assume the worst. I hope my integrity that I have tried to maintain here over the years will shine through and my words will be accepted.

I was never convicted. In fact, the day I was arrested and hauled in (for the first time in my life) the charge was dropped after I told my side of the story.

See, I was ever so slightly involved with a large incident.

Have you ever heard of that series "Catfish"... this was sorta like that.

This person was posting craigs list ads. portraying themselves as an older adult. I had recently broken up with my girlfriend. I was checking out the local DTF ads. I answered one. I talked to this person for a part of 2 days online. About sex. I was also told there was a job. A life. An Adult life. There was a whole sham story.

The next morning they came to my house and let's just say, they were not what I... expected. They were not there even 5 minutes. They were told to leave, never to be seen nor heard from again. I did not take them as being underage, but I did not expect what came to my door.

Having seen what craigslist ads can produce I never answered another ad again.

7 or 8 months later I was arrested one morning before work. shackled, chained to a chair. held for an hour or so before even being told what was going on. You could imagine me never being arrested before, being hauled in and chained to a chair for an hour with no answers. It blew my mind when it all came about. I was pulled in because there was the email trail and the sex talk. Since they came to my house. I was immediately bundled up with the whole mess.

It seems this person was rampantly doing this very thing to others all over my area. Tricking people into thinking they were older and obviously not who they are. I was one of 10 arrested that day. Notice some articles in the news say 5. That's because the media is hungry for attention and acted quick.

The news article went out while I was being interrogated and the televised news went out the next day after I had already been let go and back at work. You can't imagine the humility I felt. I thought my life ended. I never had an ulcer but I developed one during that time. Retching blood out of pure stress. I had never felt that before. I still feel like the victim. In the end, it blew over in a month or so and I don't really think about it until someone brings it up and I have to explain myself. At first it was really hard. Now it's uncomfortably comfortable? I especially dreaded having to tell this story here. Well here it is.

Bottom line is this. I was not convicted and rightfully so as I am innocent of such a horrible crime. I fully cooperated with the authorities and told my side of the story. I am not a sex offender and I never will be. I would never try to hurt anyone young and I certainly would never try to have sex with them.

Some of you that know me... I'm pretty sure wouldn't ever expect that of me.

So, when people say await an outcome of justice... I implore it.





I really would appreciate it if people never brought this up again. Please and Thanks.
