I went to school with a sex offender

[paulxcook]

A professor of mine found out a number of years ago that an old college drinking buddy of his turned out to be a serial killer. He'd find gay prostitutes, sleep with them, then he'd stab them repeatedly down the spinal cord, "like the needle on a sewing machine" as he described it.

And he said the thing that bothered him the most was that his initial reaction to the news was something like "So wait, he was gay? I had no idea."

Right after I graduated high school, i found out that a school mate/friend of mine had been arrested for raping another girl at my school. We had a few classes together, he was on the track team and we also met up at the beach a few times to go surfing. In any case, he apparently climbed in the girl's window and used duct tape to restrain her while she was sleeping. I also heard that he was on all kinds of different drugs (like heroine) while we were in high school, too, but I can't confirm.

When i first heard about it I was like WTF?!? The girl was also his best friend's girlfreidn, i believe. Pretty F'd up. I don't know how much time he spent in prison or anything, but I did look on the offender registry one day and found him listed.

I have seen a parade of my classmates show up in the police blotter in the newspaper. One was busted for sex with a very underage girl.

If you really want to look at it realistically, you went to school with one of the guys stupid enough to get caught. I'm not sure the actual numbers, and it's silly to make up percentages, but I'd be willing to wager that more than half of the child molesters end up going uncaught in the US - if only we're talking about the "technical" ones such as 18 year olds dating freshman, etc.
