| TRIPPIN' WITH ANDY My Big BoBo |

| At some point in mid-1977 I discovered the underground world of kiddie porn via the Internet and, like a sinking ship, began a slow, progressive descent into the lower bowels of this dark world. In mid-1999 I befriended an 11-year-old boy and what began as a big bro-little bro type of relationship quickly turned sexual. In all honesty, I never forced him to do anything nor did I threaten him not to tell. In April 2000 a guy who had become obsessed with me became enraged when I would not return his feelings. He adopted the "...if I can't have you, then no one will..." route. So here I sit many years later. So why this driving force for the younger fare you might be wondering? From my many years reflecting on the matter and having the opportunity to sort it all out in treatment at DOC, I have concluded that the attraction stems from unsolved and unfulfilled relationships and sexual issues from my formative years spent in denial and in the closet. While I have overcome this part of my past and as well have resolved the negatives, that attraction still remains. I just do my best not to empower it and help others understand should they want to get to know me. Whereas pedophilia attraction is the be-all-end-all for some, that is not the case for me. Such is simply an element of who I am and doesn't control or define who I am. STATE CHARGES: Sexual intercourse without consent resulting in 30 years with 20 years suspended. FEDERAL CHARGES: Sexual exploitation of children and possession of child porn. Both charges resulting in 10.1 years incarceration. |
