PHILLIP DISTASIO LIVES in a tiny cell on the fourth floor of the Justice Center, away from most other suspects awaiting trial. He and eight other men are in protective custody because, as Lt. Ken Kochevar explains, the nature of their crime or who they are would endanger them if they lived among the general prison population.
But even among that group, the gaunt, 34-year-old Distasio is probably alone in the forthright way in which he describes himself as a pedophile. He uses the words boy-lover and boy-lovers boy casually, even though hes been accused of 74 crimes involving boys between the ages of 8 and 13 years old. Among them are charges of gross sexual imposition, corruption of minors, pandering obscenity, and 26 rapes.
He says he would never associate himself with Jesus, but his message is clear: He views himself as a self-sacrificial lamb. Getting caught, he says, was an intentional and necessary cost of his secular ministry.
That cost could be spending the rest of his years in prison. He was found sane enough to be tried, waived the right to a speedy trial, and told his court-appointed lawyer that he wants to strike no bargains. In his mind, facing 26 life sentences gives him the chance to speak out for the pedophiles of the world, and for his idea of sanctuary. His message: Pedophiles are people, too.
Distasio describes himself as a second-generation pedophile: at the age of 12, he began a relationship with an older man, a swimming instructor named Charlie, at a boys club in Massachusetts. He says hes known about his proclivity since age 9.
To me, he says, it is as valid as any other sexual orientation.

Vice is a monster of so frightful mien,
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

You can not suppress lunacy and delusion. You have to learn to live with it and deal with it. As bad as this guy is, I wonder who would lower on a New Dante Scale. Patheticus or Hugh Hefner? Patheticus or Helen Gurly Brown?
parsy, who fears the normal.
Granted. Technically, "pedophilia" involves pre-pubescent victims, though. In my own case, I was pre-pubescent, being between the ages of 4 and 11 at the time.
It takes a little more energy to push them into it in the first place, so the ones that do, are a little more wierd than male exploiters.
I can't say, really. In only one case, my molester was an ugly teenage girl who couldn't get dates, and decided that fooling with a kid was an adequate substitute. All the others used authority overtly in their actions; for example, they always linked it with things like locking up one's clothing, spanking, taunting, or the use of humiliating postures such as getting down on all fours.
But from that perspective, I was able to make an interesting observation: a good handful of girls who did not actually molest me, exhibited the same behavior pattern exactly. For example, girls who played "house" or "school", and never touched anyone's privates, made similar use of spanking, humiliating postures, etc., as an integral part of the game-play. Likewise, girls who played "kiss chase" on my playground--whom I don't consider to be actual molesters--didn't just run up and give a kiss; they went in packs, running down their target until he had no means of escape, and then forcibly kissed their helpless victim. On at least one occasion that I remember vividly, I was trapped in the monkey bars for some considerable time, and became truly upset (though I wasn't especially upset at first).
Having seen the full spectrum of behavior, from "playing house" through outright molestation, I'd say that the kink that makes a molester is fairly widespread. Lots of girls have it but don't cross the line in acting it out. I don't see a quantum leap between the molesters and non-molesters.
Of course, it is the ACLU. That organization has been supporting pedophiles and attacking anything and anyone who wants to promote good character. The word "God" really makes it go ballistic.
Point well taken. I am convinced, for instance, that once contraception is approved ---- the deliberate sabotage of natural, normal, healthy sex for the purpose of pursuing greater gratification --- it's hard to build a rational, consistent critique of ANY kind of sex perversion.
Has any one else seen "Sin City"?
I thought Marv had a unique way of dealing with these creeps.
How many thousands of times have conservatives predicted this? The pro-gay gang has opened the floodgates, and the water is rising.
When I read the title, I assumed it was about Muhammad.
To me, he says, it is as valid as any other sexual orientation.
Here we go. . .
What was that SCOTUS decision in Texas on Sodomy that took things out of the state's hands?
What precisely did we say about it?
This man, with the way the psychiatric community views homosexuality as just another version of normal now, is dead on right - both legally and medically.
A key difference is that young girls who are molested don't go on to become child molesters themselves. 70 to 75% of victims are female yet females make up only 4% of offenders.
Distasio didn't just victimize a few score boys. He warped several of them into future molesters who will between them molest hundreds of victims and continue the cycle. More than 75% of multiple sex offenders were victimized themselves as children.
Heterosexual molestation is a singular tragedy. Homosexual molestation is both a tragedy and the cycle by which these people reproduce.
Oh, please, let it happen! Then we can talk to him in 20 years and see what he has to say. Oh, you say he won't last 20 days? Or hours?
Seeing extreme violence is a little disturbing, but if I were chosen to administer this monster's execution, I'd hang him, shoot him, behead him, electrocute him, basically anything, and not bat an eye.
Then I'd have a very peaceful night's sleep.
