Ex-scoutmaster pleads guilty to 36 felony sex crimes

An ex-scoutmaster who admitted to molesting his son’s teenage friends and fellow troop members for years at his Keswick home pleaded guilty to 36 felony sex crimes Wednesday in Albemarle County Circuit Court.

David Brian Watkins, now 50, entered into an agreement with prosecutors that shields him from additional local or federal charges and calls for an active term of 30 years and five months in prison.

The agreement “provides closure for … very promising young men who can now get on with their lives,” Assistant Albemarle Commonwealth’s Attorney Darby Lowe said after the hearing. “The young men would have had to come through and testify about very, very difficult and horrendous offenses against them.”

Watkins faced more than 70 charges after a wave of indictments handed down in August, nearly a year after the first victim walked into the county police department to report years of abuse at the hands of his former troop leader. Watkins was arrested a week later, on Nov. 28, 2012.

In every newspaper whenever the story is about a gay pedophile “comments have been disabled”.

Blanket coverup by the press of all wrongdoings by homosexuals. And that is a TON of coverup.

A “man” ahead of his time. In 2015 he might have been Scoutmaster of the Year.

If scoutmasters were allowed to marry, this would never happen.

The Boy Scouts must be teaching some doctrine that causes men to prey on boys.

How many of his victims have been forced into the gay community?

If the comments weren’t disabled, the only ones the filters would allow through would be those that claim he was a “heterosexual pedophile,” not homosexual — even though his victims were teenage boys, not kindergartners! Teenage boys have been objects of lust for homosexual men since before ancient Greece.

Email the author and the editor of the Roanoke Times and ask them why comments are disabled.

Look up the ownership of the Roanoke Times. I think most local print media is owned by a NY or Wash DC conglomerate.

Make a list of every story you or your contacts have ever seen like this with comments disabled.

Take it to Hannity, Greta or someone with a National audience. Also try CBC. This censorship is newsworthy.

And this is when out homosexuals aren’t allowed to be Scouters. Just imagine what it’s going to be like when they are.
