(KMOV) -- The president of a St. Louis gay and lesbian group has been charged with sexually abusing a 14-year-old boy. Rolf Rathmann, 37, is president of Pride St. Louis. Prosecutors say Rathmann is one of four men suspected of having sex with the same 14-year-old victim.

Rathmann is accused of having the sexual relationship with the boy over a five-month period. St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch says the acts took place at Blue Bird Park in Ellisville.

• Gay advocates correctly state that most child molesters are heterosexual males. But this is a misleading statement. In proportion to their numbers (about 1 out of 36 men), homosexual males are more likely to engage in sex with minors: in fact, they appear to be three times more likely than straight men to engage in adult-child sexual relations Freund, K. and R.

• While no more than 2% of male adults are homosexual, some studies indicate that approximately 35% of pedophiles are homosexual. K. Freund et al., Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality, Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 10 (Fall 1984): 197.

• Kurt Freund, et al., "Pedophilia and Heterosexuality vs. Homosexuality," Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy 10 (1984): 197. "The proportional prevalence of offenders against male children in this group of 457 offenders against children was 36 percent." See also, Kurt Freund, et al., "Heterosexuality, Homosexuality, and Erotic Age Preference," "Approximately one-third of these individuals had victimized boys and two-thirds had victimized girls. This finding is consistent with the proportions reported in two earlier studies," p. 107.

No wonder people think gays abuse more kids than straight people.

Not much to “think” about when science makes it pretty clear.

Same-sex sodomy works for me, by definiton sex is not sodomy.

Man, I'm on fire, flaming the world and all, get the hoses going! LOL!

Hi, by the way

[FormerLib]

Watch them portray the abuser as the victim.

You know this wouldn't happen if our homophobic society would just let them marry. /wiseguy mode off

Don’t forget pedophilia would be cured in the Catholic Church if the clergy weren’t required to be celibate. < /moron >

Though I live in the heart of the Midwest, I have been dating an awesome, caring guy in Los Angeles. So, after 13 yrs. in St. Louis and over 2 in New York, I will return to the West Coast, sometime in 2002. We plan on getting married in Apr. 2003, (my 2nd go-around at this, and this time, I know I have it right!)

Just celebrated my 15th year with TWA, which has just recently been taken over by another airline. Never a dull moment. For the last 4 years I have been a full time union representative for the flight attendants, under the auspices of the International Assoc. of Machinists and Aerospece Workers. Loved being an activist for the workers, but will return to flying this July, in light of the recent take over. I am excited about this.

I am the proud uncle of 2 y/o triplets, whom I just adore. And I remain still involved in Theatre. Other passions: writing for a regional newspaper, The Vital Voice, targeting the Gay and Lesbian Community.

Hope the New Millenium is treating everyone well!

OMgosh, you've obviously missed all the criminal abuse stories posted on FR!

[Houmatt]

What really caught my attention with this situation is at least this one local station ran the story but it has yet to appear on the news website of our very liberal St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Forget it.

The murders of Jesse Dirkhising and Jeffrey Curley were largely ignored by the left wing, pro-homosexual media. What makes this any different?

[Houmatt]

It is called Political Correctness, where the media bends over backwards to protect the criminal activities of the perverted diversity groups. They protect them by hiding and spiking the terrible stories like this.

Exactly. Running these news stories would prove rather detrimental to the homosexual agenda (and their NAMBLA extension), so they are spiked regularly.

Of all the members of the board, he was the only one with enough "pride" to show his picture. All others are MIA!

Nassau Man Charged With Abusing Boy

The car looked suspicious because it was in an empty Target parking lot in Copiague, long after the store had closed.

When Suffolk police pulled closer, about 4:45 a.m. on Sunday, they found Kenneth Holleman, 44, inside with a 15-year-old boy. Both were fully clothed, and denied impropriety. With an absence of evidence, police returned the boy to his parents, who never knew he had left their house in Lindenhurst, and Holleman was allowed to go.

Two days later, however, detectives confronted Holleman about the incident a second time, this time at his home at 131 Primrose Ave. in Massapequa Park, and arrested him on charges of third-degree sodomy and endangering the welfare of a child.

The case turned when detectives reinterviewed the boy, who is not being named because of his age. They also learned Holleman is a registered "Level Two" sex offender - meaning his name and address was given to "vulnerable entities," such as schools - who pleaded guilty in 1999 to having pornographic material of a child. He was arrested again in July in Nassau County on the same charge and that case is pending, said Rick Hinshaw, a spokesman for the Nassau County district attorney's office. The July arrest was a violation of a 5-year probation sentence set after the conviction for the 1999 offense.

Holleman's lawyer, Thomas Liotti of Garden City, insisted there was no sexual contact between the two when police found them on Sunday. They had met hours earlier in an Internet chat room, Liotti said, and the boy then called Holleman, who is single, lives by himself and works as a DJ. Holleman picked up the boy in his SUV near the boy's home.

"They met just to talk and see where it went from there," Liotti said. "But they hadn't gotten to the point where it went anywhere."

The boy told detectives, however, that he and Holleman had engaged in a sexual act inside the vehicle, First Squad Det. Lt. James Maher said.

Holleman was arraigned yesterday in First District Court in Central Islip and is being held at the Suffolk County jail on $1-million bail. His next court date is scheduled for Monday.
