Yeah, Shira, that thought has crossed my mind as well.

“sorry to say my daughter never married or have any children… Oh!!!! did U get the picture???

Oh, I got the picture, all right, but it certainly wasn’t the picture to which that lowlife was referring. Is it possible that there’s a specific and horrendous reason why his daughter, heaven help her, never married or had children? If that man was capable of doing this to someone *else’s* teenage daughter . . .

Actually, technically he’s not a “pedophile”. That’s a psych term reserved for people who molest pre-pubescent children. There’s another term for this sick mazer that escapes my mind at the moment (erebophile?.

I wonder what the Statute of Limitations on Sex Crimes is in the area this took place.

So he “had to run away from her,” did he? Well, it doesn’t look like he did a very good job of it. And what on earth does being Jewish have to do with it?! What a creep. (Notice also how he inserts a boast that he was able to father a child at age 61. Well, bully for him.)

I don’t like calling child-molesters pedophiles. The word is a euphemism that means “lover of children,” and of course what these SOBs do has nothing to do with love (except maybe self-love). But there’s certainly no love for the victim involved. I’d rather we called them predators.

Meryl, kol ha-kavod to you for being such a good friend.

THANK YOU!! Too many people make excuses, look the other way…I have a relative who is forever scarred, like your friend is scarred, because some delusional 40-something bastard like him convinced himself that a vulnerable 14-year-old was fair game. I loathe men like him and the people who enable them.

All you need to do is tell Schmuck-O that if he has any further contact with you or your friend, that you’ll out him – name and all – on your blog.

Screw him, the self-justifying pedophile SOB.

You speak the truth. You are a good friend. I bet it means a lot to your friend that she can tell you what happened and that you will call it what it is: abuse.

I hope this guy stops lying to himself before he meets his Maker.

WOW…Someone should place him in a locked up cell with a roommate named Bubba. He deserves the flames hell has in store for him.

Great piece of writing Meryl. Nothing infuriates me more than bastards who take advantage of children.

You left something out, Meryl. Call him what he is:

a pedophile bastard.
