Can we all be civil today? Thanks.

In the immortal words of Flipper - eh eh.

On a more serious note, I wonder, does Mr. Westerfield have a history of pedophilia? Are there any other similiar cases where a middle-aged man (or woman) suddenly began molesting small children? Is there any evidence of this in his background?

No. David has no history of ANY inappropriate behaviour around children. Zero, zip, zilch Nada.

Check here for a brief description of the accused...

I've read a bit about pedophilia, and it seems that older people can develop these tendencies after severe brain injuries.

Doesn't apply here, though.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

No, I don't know, and no.

There was that shocking un-rolled hose incident ...

No evidence of pedophilia....DW had lived with 2 girlfriends after divorce..both had kids...nothing there.

Susan, his ex girlfriend, had her daughter and baby move in with DW to excape an abusive relationship..nothing there.

No real photos, magazines, kids anything was presented.

No neighbor kids were presented, no friends kids, family members...nada..zip..zilch....no past criminal record of any child related or inappropriate behavior.

He may have seen a few child porn images on a computer in 2001...he then supposedly kidnapped and killed.

To follow up on prior response, that there is any expert basis in science for normal middle-aged men to become vicious bloody child-murdering perverts from viewing porn most recently ninety or more days ago -- no there was no such testimony. It is all just speculation. Actually it is not speculation at all, it is fear-mongering and provocation of hysteria.

You can research pedophile characteristics on the internet.

Some never molest kids, and some take a chance. Some get caught and some don't.

[Freedom2specul8]

also, there are pedophiles and there are molestors. Pedophiles are soley attracted to children. Molestors are attracted to both adults and kids.
