How pedophile trail led to a Largo man
St. Petersburg-Tampa Bay Times ^ | August 5, 2012 | John Woodrow Cox

Posted on 08/05/2012 3:25:20 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

LARGO — This is what the world saw:

An emergency medical technician from Kansas who lived with his mother in a tidy brick house, where he helped her care for a 14-year-old boy.

A stay-at-home dad who lived with his wife in California and built a jungle gym next to his home for the couple's two adopted children, 6 and 8.

A puppeteer in Florida who performed in community centers, schools and churches and hosted kids-only pizza parties every Wednesday in his mobile home.

Bruce Foucart, the special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, saw something else.

Over the past three months, the three men were arrested on charges that they produced, distributed or possessed child pornography. They were targets of a federal investigation that has reached 10 states and seven countries. To date, authorities have arrested 43 people, including 13 in the United States, and saved more than 140 children from further exploitation.

The youngest victim was 19 days old.

The accusations against many of the suspects are heinous. They include the rape of their relatives or their friends' children.

But for Foucart, who has investigated hundreds of pedophiles during his 27-year career, the online conversations among the men — the EMT, Michael Arnett; the stay-at-home dad, Jason Scarcello; the puppeteer, Ronald William Brown — made him sick.

I only came to this thread because I thought it was about Harry Reid. A reliable source told me that he was a pedophile.

So, with all these sources, the word is out... Reid is a pedophile.

These guys really need to be executed. There is no cure for this. Pure evil.

I can’t even imagine how one does such a job without becoming permanently damaged in some way...


I disagree. Foucart can take plenty of comfort in the potential victims of these pervs that he saved from harm by catching them. That should provide more than enough motivation to keep going.

*** Even pedophiles who have murdered a child do not receive the death penalty nowadays. ***

Well, no offense but I don't think that's exactly correct. This article covers a Federal Crime where child murders and kidnappings could be involved, and the US Code still includes the DP for murder.

And the FedGov does execute, though not enough IMHO -- a couple days ago I read a short article were the Feds just did it in the Eastern US. I was actually surprised Barry didn't pardon the mutt.

But all that aside. Whatever the legal sentence these maggots get they won't last two days in any Fed Prison. Even John Gotti had to go begging the Aryan BH for protection after one week (iirc) -- at $30K/mo -- when he was in the Supermax in Marion, IL.

The fact is one way or the other these guys will die in prison, and fast. So I'm just (hypothetically) offering my services for 'a legal way' (naturally). After all, contract work is always cheaper than having the 'G' do something themselves.

A pedophile is a homosexual with an age preference.

Just think, when the homosexual advocates, a/k/a the Democrat Party get their way, this will all be legal.

So sad to think that you are absolutely right.,

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Pizza!...It's the new candy.

Sex crimes do take a toll on the investigators. I only do a few of these investigation each year. I’ve found that I need to go punch and kick the heavy bag in the gym of our police station before I can go home to my family. It’s like draining the poison out of me so that it doesn’t have a chance to take hold. Terrible.

Thank you for keeping children safe. I’m sure no one can really understand what it’s like to do your job. It would be very hard not become cynical.

Do you know who the child in this faked photo is? Wouldn’t the child’s parent be extremely upset to see this? I would ask a moderator to remove it if I were you.

Although the child’s face has been altered, I’m going back to photobucket and delete it.

Thanks for your input.

I remember hearing about NAMBLA in the news back in the early 70’s when I was abou 7 years old, at that time I wonder who this group was. I remember our local news would show a segment of the San Francisco Gay Parade and there was this large banner that a group of men were carrying. It said NAMBLA and underneath the NAMBLA name the words “Sex before 8 is too late” something like that. Until some uptight right-wing groups complained so they were no longer allowed to march in the parade. So both of you are not farfetched to say that. Remember Botox Pelosi marched in the SF Gay Parade with the founder who happens to be a supporter of NAMBLA from my understanding.

What is scary is that there are some who want to at least decriminalize this stuff.

That is the expressed goal of NAMBLA, the National Man Boy Love Association.

Soon we will be having the same “it’s their civil right, they are tax payers, they are BORN this way!” cries as we have to hear now from the queers.

How right you are. I have said it before. The push for gay marriage is just a the first step to getting to the coveted position of having "homosexual" as a protected class against discrimination, such as age, color, creed, etc. Pedophilia will be next by logical extension.

All in all, they are coming for the children.

The cop I knew also took up heavy exercise at that point. It helped.

Why hasn't Reid go on TV and denied it?

The seriousness of these accusations demand that he come clean on this subject.
