HIV-Positive Boy Scout Troop Leader Sentenced For Sex With Teen
NBC-10 ^ | 10/29/07

Posted on 10/29/2007 4:25:44 PM PDT by Malacoda

Former Boy Scout troop leader David Mayberry was sentenced for having unprotected sex with a 14-year-old boy.

Mayberry, 52, committed the crime knowing he was HIV-positive.

A teary Mayberry cried in court when he saw the more than a dozen family members and friends there to support him.

The Montgomery County man, a former Boy Scout leader, admitted to soliciting a 14-year-old online. The two met in a parking lot where the boy performed a sex act on Mayberry.

Prosecutors said the crime was made more horrific because Mayberry is HIV-positive and he knew his health status when he met his victim.

"Mr. Mayberry is a classic child predator, plus. He is classic because he wants to have sex with children but he is also HIV-positive. He's given a potential death sentence to the victim here," the prosecutor said.

Mayberry was arrested in November 2005 by state agents who said he met a 12-year-old online and arranged to meet that child for sex. But Mayberry was actually chatting with agents from a state task force, officials said.

It was through that investigation that investigators learned of the 14-year-old boy.

Mayberry was sentenced to 16 to 40 years.

The judge told Mayberry he was absolutely justified in handing down the sentence and said Mayberry didn't care about the child or his health, just his own needs.

Mayberry pointed to the victim as the sexual aggressor but there was no evidence to support that, the prosecutor said.

Mayberry's mother, sister and church community members testified to his good character in court. His defense attorneys refused comment, as did his family.

The judge told Mayberry he didn't buy his claims of remorse.

The victim's mother was also in court Monday. She did not want to comment but called the sentence "wonderful."

The victim, at 14, is post pubescent. Therefore, this is NOT pedophilia. It's predatory homosexuality.

How do you know that? There's quite a considerable variance in the age at which boys start puberty, and they tend to start puberty a year or two later than girls.

Okay, I don’t know for sure. But at age 14, the percentages are with me, I think.

“He admits he solicited the boy then tries to blame him. Did the boy become HIV positive? I can’t seem to find that out.”

The article doesn’t say, but HIV transmission is generally through “ the deed that dare not speak its name”, not oral sex, so it is, under the facts presented, probably not likely.

Thanks for the info. I’m hoping he didn’t but if at 14 yrs old he is already involved with gays & sex I guess the odds are against him. If he didn’t get it at this encounter he may at some point. Shaking my head again..

The victim was apparently in the habit of answering online solicitations for sex from men he didn’t know (presumably for pay). If he comes down with AIDS, there’s only a small chance this particular client of his was the source. The ex troop leader (wonder how he came to be an EX troop leader) deserves every bit of his sentence, but it’s not like he was corrupting some innocent little Boy Scout.

Former Boy Scout troop leader David Mayberry was sentenced for having unprotected sex with a 14-year-old boy.

The Trojan horse is still effective it would seem. No pun intended, seriously.

Pro-homosexuality groups insist through entities such as the ACLU that the ranks of conservative associations be permeated by people like Mayberry.

Take churches for example. Liberal dogma has made many inroads. As a result, when folks like Mayberry are exposed, liberals start talking about the hypocrisy "prevalent" within these associations.

Prosecutors said the crime was made more horrific because Mayberry is HIV-positive and he knew his health status when he met his victim.

Complete disregard for the life of another human being.

Mayberry pointed to the victim as the sexual aggressor but there was no evidence to support that, the prosecutor said.

I'm 41 years old, and I am certain that I could resist a sexually aggressive 14 year old. [making a point, no way am I suggesting that the 14 year old was 'aggressive in this instance].

Disgusting. And the perv even tried to blame the boy!

Well put. Accountability is less than or equal to zero to this guy.

Mayberry's mother, sister and church community members testified to his good character in court.

It is easy to see who has been watering the weeds.

One of the things that is wrong is that the public in general seems to look at the “big picture” when it comes to “gays”. Oh, it’s so cool, Queer Eye, all the “gay” decorators, etc. If people stopped for a moment and really thought about what homosexuals do to each other, maybe the idiot parents would think twice about letting the homosexuals anywhere near kids.

Example: The GLADDS, GLESN, and other homosexual organizations go into schools and teach auditoriums full of impressionable young children. Tufts Teach-In was one of the biggest, all funded by taxpayers. I say let little Johnny sit alone in the back of a library and be made to listen to the exact same lecture. Just one on one, one homosexual adult talking to a small child. How many idiot parents would sign up for that? Let the homosexual sit face to face with little Johnny and tell him all about the “normal” lifestyle. Let him demonstrate condom use, let him talk about lubricants, let him commiserate with little Johnny about those confusing feelings.

Homosexuals are unnatural predators. That’s why they need the cover of large groups, to mask their true intent. Personally, I think parents are a lot more stupid than they used to be...

“Mayberry was sentenced to 16 to 40 years.” Not nearly enough."

Agree wholeheartedly.

He should have been prosecuted for attempted murder.

Even our Presidential candidates have come down on the issue of gay boy scout leaders.

Mitt Romney supports the right of gays to be scout leaders.

But the victim wasn’t a member of the Boy Scout Troop. It was a kid he met while he was trolling online.
