I worked with a pedophile ... that was featured on Dateline: To Catch a Predator.

This particular guy always struck me as odd. He was very obese, had a high pitched voice, and was openly, and flamboyantly homosexual. He was remarkably lazy, and had aced sleeping-with-hands-on-mouse-and-keyboard techniques.

Fast forward a bit. This guy, let's call him ... Ed Hollingsworth ... bragged about a trip to Australia that he (30+) and a 16 year old boy, that he claimed was his nephew, went on.

I worked in the same office for a couple of years, and eventually, he was fired for work ethic reasons.

About a month or two ago, I was watching Dateline: To Catch a Predator, and BAM. The guy, Ed, was one of the featured scums. He is now in prison, probably get the ****** kicked out of him daily. I have heard stories that inmates do not treat child molesters very well at all, and that the guards do not take any special care to see that they are not torn apart. Hopefully that is the case.

Edit, scroll down to 'Other Names Released' -- Edward Hollingsworth - 35 years old:

That's putting it very very mildly.

Is that the one where they get invited into the house thinking they are about to get down, but the FBI is waiting? Or is that something entirely different?

Uhm, this isn't a parody thread.

If you are referring to the fat, high pitched voice thread, that just reminded me of this guy.

A similar thing happened to a keyboardist that used to play in my band. Suddenly he stopped making rehearsals, coming up with very weird excuses and so on, and then somebody got forwarded the link...

Apparently he had been soliciting from what he thought was a 13 year old girl, but was actually an online anti-pedophile activist of some sort and nailed him. There was like 25 pages of chat dialog, webcam photos (you can imagine what of) and the works, posted online for the world to see. Needless to say, after that his name came off the website and we stopped asking him to rehearsals. I have no idea as to any legal outcome, if any, but he is certainly ruined.

I just checked my email and couldn't find it for some reason. I'll search for his name when I get home from work and maybe post it. Then again, there's pictures of his sausage, so maybe that's not really appropriate for linking. I don't need a vacation or anything.

A coworker of mine just bought a house from a child molester. I think the guy is older and was just arrested.

My spouse works with the (former) landlord of one of the guys from one of those Dateline predator shows. He changed the locks while the guy was in jail.

my mom works at the prison and they arent allowed to discuss the child molesters cases around inmates, in fact if they find out that a guard or someone leaked it to the inmates they get reprimanded for it. i guess the rumors are true about getting their asses kicked

Actually, most (all?) are separated from the general population.

Such words, generalized even to the extent that you have, always fvk with my head.

I guess I still have a certain level of innocence and don't want to give it up:(

Sometimes I wish the worst offenders would just get the chair and rid this world, and sometimes I feel that such things are wrong as well. Sometimes I feel that what they get in jail is what they deserve, and sometimes a quick death seems more jsut.


It's all just so fvked up:( What they do and what happens to them as well.
