The Unforgiven

This Iron Curtain is not the East/West German Border. This is the only real Iron Curtain left, the inside of a Maximum Security Prison. It is a place the vast majority of society would just as soon forget. It is a place where Darwin’s survival of the fittest plays out every single day.

Behind these walls, iron bars, and razor wire as we pay for our crimes, we are dead to most of you. What that means is when one of us does find our way, when one of us does find our humanity and becomes able to see how the destruction we perpetrated harmed our victims and our world, you will never know. We hope to change that.

After twenty years of incarceration, at the urging of someone who responded to an old penpal site that I was on, it is time to tell my story, a memoir if you will. It is a difficult thing to do. I was not a nice person. I hurt so many people, and many of them still suffer even after all this time. But, this story needs to be told. Not to absolve me for anything I have done because there is no excuse. The story I want to tell is a story that can help deal with the problems that led me to the choices I made, and if you can understand what happened to me maybe you can help someone like me before they do something so bad, they destroy everything they love... like me.

I am the most hated man in our world. Often, I am considered worse than a murderer. At my trial, the prosecutor said that it would have been better if my victim died.

For the last twenty years, I've been in prison serving a life sentence for a sex-offense. I am a child-molester.

For protection (of my victims), I will not use real names in this story. My goal is not to make money. This site is not a pay site and my story is not for the purpose of anything other than trying to help in some way. Other parts of the site will offer ideas that will help stop this crime and educate all of us about this crime.

I am blessed, those that I hurt have begun to reach out to me and forgive me. This has meant a lot to me and has been instrumental in my growth. I pray that you read this with a mind to educate yourself and understand what it is going to realistically take to stop this crime.

Please come with me on this journey. It won't be easy, for any of us, but at the end, hopefully we can all discuss what we need to do to change and make our world a better, safer place.
