Coach / Kid Toucher Found Dead

Ray Totten, the local tennis coach who did some really creepy shit to minors, was found dead yesterday....the day of the beginning of his trial.

From NWF Daily News:

Ray Totten, a former high school coach charged with sexually molesting a student, was found dead Wednesday at his sister's home.

Totten, who was facing 65 counts of lewd and lascivious molestation, was scheduled to go on trial Wednesday morning.

Totten's minister found his body when she arrived at his sister's home in Fort Walton Beach to pick him up for court, said Fort Walton Beach Police Capt. Darrell Bruhn. Police were called to the scene at 221 Bradley Drive at 8:22 a.m.

No sign of foul play or evidence of suicide were found at the scene, Bruhn said.

...Totten, 47, had spent four years as Fort Walton Beach High School's tennis coach and was in his first year as golf coach when he was arrested May 28.

The arrest came after a 14-year-old boy told his parents that Totten had been sexually abusing him several times a week since December 2007.

Fort Walton Beach police originally charged Totten with 50 counts of lewd and lascivious molestation for incidents alleged to have occurred on school grounds.

In September, the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office added 15 more molestation charges stemming from incidents believed to have occurred at Totten's home.

He also was accused of tampering with evidence for trying to dismantle a flash drive lawmen said contained 30 to 40 images of the victim's genitals.


There's plenty of snark to go all over this story...but rather than that, just read the comments on the story. Gems, one and all.

To Catch A Mayor

Texas is pretty fucked up. How fucked up? Fucked up enough to have a registered sex offender run for mayor of one of it's cities.

Inspired by the heroic tale of Carl Stanley McGee, Brian Sliter is running for mayor of Wilmer, Texas. People are all upset and stuff just because he was caught in a police sting while trying to bone a 15yo girl:

Brian Sliter said late Friday he accepts responsibility for his arrest and has received counseling that has helped "turn my life around."

"I don't expect anybody in the public to condone what I did and I don't expect anybody to forgive what I did," said Sliter, 42. "What I do hope is people look at my current character ... . People can rehabilitate and make themselves a better person."

Sliter was arrested after arranging a meeting with whom he thought was a teenager, according to state records. He was charged with attempting to commit sexual assault of a child and placed on 10 years probation, records show.

Sliter is eligible to run for office in Wilmer, a town of about 3,400 just south of Dallas, because he was never convicted. He received deferred adjudication, which means he will not be convicted if he successfully completes probation.

"Someone told me, `Make something positive come from this,'" Sliter said. "I feel really bad about it, really embarrassed about it, really awful about it. I am really glad there is no direct victim. I thank God for that every day."

Carl Stanley McGee Free...To Blow More Kids

As reported last month, Carl Stanley McGee was accused of having sexy time with a 15yo boy at a Florida resort. Florida prosecutors have now dropped their case against him:

For months, officials considered filing charges against Charles Stanley McGee, assistant secretary for policy and planning in Massachusetts, but were unable to make a case.

"I do not believe that there is sufficient evidence to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt," Assistant State Attorney Francine H. Donnorummo said in a statement yesterday. "Consistent with our legal and ethical considerations, I am therefore declining to file formal charges."

Investigators had no DNA evidence or witnesses corroborating the teenager's story, according to the statement, which outlined the problems in the case.

The 15-year-old, identified as Jonathan in the statement, said McGee, 38, performed sex acts on him in the steam room of the Gasparilla Inn & Club, a 95-year-old hotel and championship golf course in Boca Grande. Investigators were unable to locate the towels worn by either person so they could be inspected for forensic evidence linking either one to the scene. Investigators also did not gather any forensic evidence from the steam room, the report said.

That, and the fact that there were probably thousands of possible pieces of forensic evidence in a posh Florida steam room used by old creepy gay men.

McGee now wants to move on with his life:

McGee's lawyer, Charles W. Rankin, issued a two-sentence statement about the resolution of the case. "The state attorney in Lee County, Fla., after a thorough investigation, has decided that no charges should be brought against Stan McGee," it said. "Mr. McGee believes the decision by the Florida prosecutor not to pursue this case speaks for itself, and he looks forward to going on with his life."

...Mitchell Adams, a longtime friend and executive director of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, called the prosecutor's decision to drop the case "magnificent."

"This has been the most horrible situation without any basis in fact," he said.

Moral of the story: Look out for Tim Gunn look-alikes in Florida any steam rooms. In fact, don't go to any steam rooms unless you're old, ugly, fat, or just flat out want to get it on with desperate pervs.

Carry on.

Let Them Be

Minister Terrance Lewis has been found guilty of sexually assualting a young man who was seeking counsel on fears of his homosexuality:

In earlier testimony, the alleged victim, now 29, told court he started meeting Lewis for counselling sessions in early 2000 after his parents caught him viewing gay pornography on the family computer.

Lewis — a family friend and minister — confided he had his own sexual identity issues and the two embarked on weekly counselling sessions designed to “assist me to be straight and to live a straight life,” the man said.

The man said Lewis started a program of “touch therapy,” which included the two kissing and fondling each other and engaging in sexual roleplaying.

“He said I was to tell no one about it because no one would understand,” the man testified.

During “touch therapy” sessions in Lewis’ car, Lewis asked him to masturbate, the man said. Lewis also admitted to fantasizing about him, the man said.

This is so disturbing on many different levels. Besides the fact that the "success" rate of these ex-gay programs sits around 30%, the more astonishing figure is the suicide rate of the enlistees. The American Medical Association, as well as the American Psychological Association, have condemned such programs, yet concerned mouth breathing fundie parents still choose to put their own children through this emotional torture.

And look at the fruit these rotten trees bear.

Parents: pop a Homocil and ride this shit out.

Or you can keep letting church officials fuck your kids. Your call.

GOP Not Alone in Kid Diddling

Carl McGee was busted for blowing a 15yo boy in a steam room Florida. McGee is assistant secretary for policy for the Governor of Massachusetts.

Wonkette reports:

The perp: Carl Stanley “Tits” McGee, Governor Deval Patrick’s assistant secretary for policy and planning and notorious Boston dandy. Allegedly he blew a 15-year-old boy in a steam room at the swank Gasparilla Inn & Club in Boca Grande. The boy reported the incident, McGee was arrested, and did we mention that this all happened over a month ago?

Yes, this all “went down” on December 28. The Boca Beacon and its blog, the aptly named Boca Nut Telegraph, wrote about it in January. McGee was placed on administrative leave January 7 while his coworkers in Boston were told he was “out sick.” [For a month?? -ed.] The Boston Globe reported the story today and now we bring this very important information to you, the reader.

So far, it's all starting to sound familier. Except for this nugget:

In a refreshing twist on the old “hypocrite gay” theme, McGee is a Democrat and an actual supporter of gay marriage. His own blessed nuptials were widely publicized in The New York Times two years ago. So, there’s that.

If aping GOP indescretions is the best Dems can do to get back in the White House, it's gonna be a loooooooong year.

Side Note: What kind of parent lets their 15yo kid go to a steam room in some uppity Gulf Coast resort, knowing that rich weirdo Tim Gunn look-alikes are lurking in the mist? Yikes.

Carry on.
