Tutor says sex assaults are sacred ritual

[Don Vito Corleone]

From CNN:

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- A man accused of sexually assaulting nine boys with physical or mental disabilities told a judge that having sex with children is a sacred ritual protected by civil rights laws.

Phillip Distasio, who said he is the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, represented himself at his pretrial hearing Wednesday. He is charged with 74 counts including rape, pandering obscenity to minors and corrupting another with drugs.

"I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years," he said in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Wednesday. "The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."
. . .

This is the website of the "church." Although the courts have held that some criminal activity (particularly related to taking psychedelic mushrooms) can be protected religious activity, there's no way this defense will fly in a serial molestation case. What a wacko . . .

Sounds like your typical power hungry nutjob.

Sounds like the Mormon fundamentalist who trade young girls for "marriage". Religions have been used as an excuse for just about every atrocity in human history. The evil of religion far outweigh any good.

Fixed for ya.

Nobody is ever wrong in what they do. Remember, when you feel like the worst person in the world, and you do, you must deny every fault because any fault, no matter how small, can potentially awaken these feelings that are so deeply buried. All the paradoxes of human behavior make sense when you realize this.

You never seen secular power nutjobs?

Looks like that homosexuality is rearing up. Must be attractive boys.

Sounds like he can't control the urge.

Is that what your teacher told you was the cause?

This is one sick bastage that, if convicted, deserves to be treated inside like he treated these boys on the outside.

I sorta skipped class the day the teacher said religion was the cause.

Don't bother responding to Zen's trolling. I congratulate you on not attacking him, but it's still better to just ignore him.

If he was raping young girls then he would fit right in with your evangelical crowd huh? From your post including the breast feeding thread, you have mommy and intimacy issue, perhaps you should not throw stones?

I can see the headlines now: "Repressed home-schooled evangelical 19 year old kills parents after catching them having sex".

I doubt my intimacy issues compare to the sexual deviants running around and their addled minds.

OK you convinced me, you can keep the death penalty.

Does this guy's church get tax exempt status?

It probably gets faith based money from the government

 

[HombrePequeno]

Wow, I can't believe people actually gave money to him. Most of what he says on his website is fairly incoherent. Looking at the message board, people seemed to have changed their opinions of him now.

Lock him up and throw away the key.

Pathetic.

On that, you and I agree completely.

Hopefully, you won't find any dissenters to that opinion here.

Anybody here see the mugshot of the guy? He looks nowhere near 34 - I figured at first that the paper had screwed up and put up a shot of one of the victims.

I generally don't support capital punishment, but die! :|

He probably subscribes to all that NAMBLA crap, also.

Properly fixed.

Seriously, I don't know why anybody feels the need to put a specific qualifier in front of "nutjob."

Cases like this should be eligible for the death penalty. At the very least he needs to be put away for the rest of his life.

From his own forums.....

Dude, you f**k kids. Quit making yourself out to be a martyr you child f**ker.

People were onto him, long before this. That message was posted in Sept. 2005.
