Despite being a veteran, and an accomplished reporter, writer and cartoonist— he also was a deviant sexual predator. I know this because I was one of many of his victims. Following the shame of being a young pre-teen victim of this monster, now many decades later, I needed to know what became of him and if he ever faced justice for the despicable acts that he perpetrated on numerous children (whom I didn’t as a kid have the courage to stand up for)— much to my dismay while have served a mere 3 years for a crime against just one of his victims, not only is he celebrated and memorialized for his journalistic accomplishments and his service in the AirForce and there is little to nothing about this vile human being and the lives he destroyed. There is some evidence that he tried to deflect responsibility for his evil acts by suggesting that his pedophilia was actually his fulfillment of the children of their victimized “homosexual wants”. I could not in good conscience let this stand, and while I wish it was different and that he had repented his evil acts. He did not and he will burn in hell for them.
