<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>According to the recidivism statistics that your
anonymous pal posted every one of these men is a ticking time bomb, different in
no way from the current object of your attention. Also I would be very surprised
if you were fully acquainted with the history of the men that I listed just
as I would be surprised if you knew as much as you seem to think you do
about Sitler. The men listed were convicted of exactly the same crime as Sitler,
in the same county, and are currently released into the same community. All have
exactly the same rate of reoffense (so far) as Sitler. I suppose I could be
wrong about the motivations of some of the folks in your little circle (not you,
personally, or your bashful little buddy, of course) but, to drone endlessly on
about one and to ignore the rest smacks of something other
than an overwhelming concern for the tykes of our
community.</FONT></DIV>

the indignation and self righteousness expressed by a certain element on this
list as seriously as one might otherwise. Why is Sitler singled out for
all the condemnation (not that he doesn't deserve every ounce of it) when
there has there been nary a peep when it comes to others who have
committed the very same (or worse) crime in this county and also still reside
here. Where is your "legitimate fears" when it comes to Michael Ashcraft,
Christopher Busting, and Mike Brazington? Why are you not so vocally
"concerned" about Robert Buckingham, Frank Burkgart, and Harvey Hamilton? What
about the likelihood of reoffense for Michael Hardway, Dennis Hendrix, Wayne
Jacobs, Knute Klingler, and Kevin Osterberg? Could it be that they get no
Vision 2020 scrutiny and castigation because to do so would not further
an agenda? I'm afraid that the pious blather that comes from History
<st1:PersonName w:st="on">Dad</st1:PersonName>dy and his little band
of likeminded friends would be far easier to stomach were it not so
blatantly just another cynical means to an end.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma

personal invitation to Mr. Schwaller<BR><BR>Visionaries and Mr
Herodotus,<BR><BR>Thank you for the invitation to "return" but I never
really left. I was simply a bit busy over the past few days taking
advantage of the weather break to plant the begonias, nasturtiums, and
geraniums.<BR><BR>I'll attempt to answer your questions, but I do so
assuming you are being genuine and not disingenuous in your query. I
mention this only because another visionary has questioned "the truth about
(your) opinions", that this individual "Doesn't believe I'll do that"
(accept the truth of my opinions), "thank you very much.", then proceeds to
demand the answer to 3 additional questions.<BR><BR>So, on to your
questions. These are important, timely questions that deserve
answers. However, I don't believe I can give you full nor adequate
answers to any of them. I don't know that definitive answers exist,
however one can find just about any answer one wants to fit one's
position. That being said:<BR><BR>"1. Can you please tell us the
recidivism rate for serial pedophiles?"<BR><BR>I don't believe a thorough
statistical study has been done for over 10 years. So keeping that in
mind, according to the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice
Statistics, within 3 years of release from incarceration, a little more than
5 percent of sex offenders were rearrested for another sex crime. If
one looks at ALL crimes committed, about 40 percent of sex offenders were
rearrested for other offenses.<BR><BR>Within this three year period, 3.5
percent of convicted sex offenders were convicted again for a sex crime, 24
percent convicted for new crimes, and about 40 percent are imprisoned again
because of a parole or probation violation.<BR><BR>However, if you're
<st1:PersonName w:st="on">Joan Opyr</st1:PersonName>, in an article she
published not quite a year ago, she quotes a 75% recidivism rate.<BR><BR>The
USDJ study also looked at the relationship between offenders and victims and
reported that overall, 46 percent of the victims were a family member.
A 2005 study by the National Crime Victimization Survey reports that 73
percent of sexual assaults were known by the victim: 38 percent were a
friend or acquaintance, 28 percent were involved in an "intimate"
relationship, and 7 percent were another relative.
<BR><BR>An NPR story in 2005 offered a 98 percent recidivism rate over a 25
year period, with a 60 percent likelihood of offending again within 5 years
under the best treatment available., there is a 60% occurrence of re-offence
within five years. The story also mentions that the offender in most sexual
abuse cases is a family member or friend of the family (97 percent for
victims under the age of 6, and 95 percent of those between the ages 6 and
12).<BR><BR>So, somewhere between 5 and 95 percent?<BR><BR>"2. Can you
please share with us the average number of children that repeat offenders
violate before their discovery?"<BR><BR>Again, I have no concrete
statistics. There is apparently some information on Mr Sitler's
repeated violations before he was discovered (I'm sure Mr Hansen can give
you that number off the top of his head). The numbers seem to run from
one to dozens over decades for catholic priests. And in
<st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Portugal</st1:place></st1:country-region>, a driver and gardener
was accused of molesting children at the school where he was worked.
After questioning and examining more than 600 children, over 125 were
reported to have been victimized by this individual.<BR><BR>So, somewhere
between 1 and more than 125? <BR><BR>"3, Can you please describe for
us a worst-case scenario for the children of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> (number of victims, age of victims,
types of abuse, etc.), if Mr. Sitler resumes his pattern of serial
predation?"<BR><BR>Quite frankly, I sense an undercurrent of sarcasm in this
last question, but hey . . .<BR><BR>Maybe you can ask me how many polar
bears, perched on their ever-diminishing slab of ice, are going to starve
tonight?<BR><BR>Well, obviously I can't give you the answers you would like
to hear. I doubt even Mr Sitler himself would know, given the worst
possible case, what would be the answers to those questions. However,
if you refer back to the replies to Question 1, you may find some answers of
sorts in there.<BR><BR>I'd like to think I have the community's, but perhaps
not that of starving polar bear's, interests at
heart.<BR><BR>Schwaller<BR><BR>"You can always see it commin', but you can

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Visionaries and Mr.
Schwaller,<BR><BR>I personally invite Mr. Schwaller to return to this forum
because I for one found his posts both provocative and enlightening. Hard
facts about serial pedophiles are difficult to ascertain and I commend him
for sharing his knowledge of this unseemly subject with us so that we as a
community can be better prepared to address a predator in our
midst.<BR><BR>With this in mind, I have a couple of questions for Mr.
Schwaller.<BR><BR>1. Can you please tell us the recidivism rate for serial
pedophiles?<BR><BR>2. Can you please share with us the average number of
children that repeat offenders violate before their discovery?<BR><BR>3.
Finally, given your familiarity with Steven Sitler's case file, can you
please describe for us a worst-case scenario for the children of Moscow
(number of victims, age of victims, types of abuse, etc.), if Mr. Sitler
resumes his pattern of serial predation?<BR><BR>I believe that these are
reasonable questions for a community to ask and I believe that you have our
community's best interests at heart.<BR><BR>Thank
you,<BR><BR>Herodotus<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>____________________________________________________________________________________<BR>Looking
