I also went to school with Ernest. And before you bash someone, you should know the full story. First, Ernest was convicted of voyeurism and possession of child pornography charges. He was NEVER accused or found to have touched anyone. He passed several lie detector tests. The police also looked for victims. There were no victims. His father has been dead since Ernie was in high school. His father suffered greatly before his death. Ernest was an honor student and an athlete before having to care for his ailing father, which included changing his diapers. His mother is a very kind and loving woman. The local newspapers grossly exaggerated and misinterpreted the facts in the case. Anything for a good story. I read every psychological evaluation and all of the police reports. I also attended many of the court hearings in this case. If I had to go on what I read in the paper, I probably would have arrived at the same conclusions you did. It is unfair, though, because the story was twisted to the extreme. I am not advocating the acts of voyeurism, or the possession of the pornography. However, there was no solicitation or trading of these images. They were images of teenage boys, not toddlers which the newspapers indicated. There is a double standard in this country. Men are allowed to look at teenage girls in sexual ways. The advertising community markets young girls to appeal to older men. It's gross. And I agree that child molesters should be locked away and never let out. However, you should get your facts straight before you slander. Ernie is a voyeur, not a child molester. And yes, there is a difference, a very big difference.

The advertising community markets young girls to appeal to older men.So, you believe that if Madison Avenue would only have produced enough acceptable and free arousal material FOR men who like boys, you wouldn't have been forced to go out and film your own?

So, Ernest, been to any Burger King playgrounds with Scott Ritter lately?
