All sex offender parolees should have some specialized conditions of parole relevant to their sex offenses; e.g. no contact with children; restricted nighttime travel; no "cruising." Use special awareness during searches to look for lures such as movies that appeal to children, video games, toys, etc.; or "rape kits" and other sex crime paraphernalia. Watch for behavioral patterns and life stresses that signal potential for relapse. Keep in touch with wives, girlfriends, family, and others in the parolee's support group listening for signals of relapse. All sex offender parolees should be referred to Parolee Out-patient Clinic for evaluation and consideration for treatment. Coordinate parole supervision with clinician's treatment (if parolee in POC).

SEX OFFENDER TYPOLOGIES

CHILD MOLESTATION: It is any behavior that exposes a child to the risk of psychological interference in his or her sexual development. Sexual offenses against children can be classified into two basic categories in regard to the mode of aggression exhibited in the offense: child molesters and child rapists.

CHILD MOLESTER: Child molester refers to a significantly older person whose conscious sexual interests and overt sexual behaviors are directed either partially or exclusively towards pre-pubescent child. In contrast to child rapists for whom sexual aggression is hostile act, the child molester exhibits a positive emotional investment in the child which he eroticizes. The risk to the victim is not one of physical injury so much as psychological harm. Child molesters gain sexual access to the child through a combination of enticement and deception. (Note to student, keep this in mind when developing a plan to supervise this type of offender) They lure or trick the child into sexual activity; require the child for his or her participation; and warn or threaten the child about disclosure. These offenders essentially coax, pressure, and/or coerce the child into the sexual activity. Their offenses constitute sexual extortion in which the child surrenders to the sexual demand and receives attention, acceptance, recognition, and/or material gain.

CHILD RAPIST: Resorts to threat, intimidation, and physical force to achieve submission. They overpower and/or threaten to harm their victims.; Their offenses constitute sexual attacks in which the child victim relinquishes sex in return for survival and release. Child rapists constitute a small minority of sexual offenders against children.

CHILD MOLESTER TYPES: Sexual offenders against children can be divided into two basic types based on their level of socio-sexual maturation:
1. The fixated offender whose primary sexual orientation is towards children.
2. The regressed offender whose sexual involvement with a child, is primarily a departure, under stress, from age mates.

The FBI in the book “Crime Classification Manual,” uses the terms preferential or fixated and states the preferential child molesters have a definite sexual preference for children. Their sexual fantasies and erotic imagery focus on children. The book also uses the term situational or regressed and stated that situational child molesters may not have a true sexual preference for children but engage in sex with children for varied and sometimes complex reasons ranging from child availability to offender inadequacy.

SITUATIONAL/REGRESSED: This category of child molester does not specifically prefer children as sexual objects, but molest mainly due to a number of situational factors. Molests may be solitary, once in a lifetime events, ore they may recur episodically as the situation arises again. (This group is divided into four subtypes or patterns of behavior. Individuals in the lower socioeconomic groups tend to be over represented in this type.)

The SITUATIONAL/REGRESSED MOLESTER has a primary sexual relationship with an adult, but may be experiencing transitory stresses, and perhaps low self-esteem. The molester uses children as a substitute sexual partner.

These men are often immature, socially inept individuals who regress when under stress, and at these times relate to children as if they were peers. They typically find children who happen to be available, and coerce them into sexual activities.

The MORALLY INDISCRIMINATE MOLESTER is a person with a generally antisocial lifestyle. They are users and abusers of people in general who lie, cheat, steal, and act on impulse. These men victimize children because of the child’s vulnerability and availability, and only secondarily because they are children.

The SEXUALLY INDISCRIMINATE MOLESTER has a poorly defined sexual preference and therefore experiments a great deal with a wide variety of sexual behaviors. Children are victimized as sexual partners because of the novelty to the molester. These men seek out new sexual thrills, and children come to their attention at some point in their varied sexual adventures.

The INADEQUATE MOLESTER is often withdrawn, eccentric, a social misfit, often with a physical or mental disability or disorder, such as psychoses, senility, brain damage, or learning disability. This individual often has poor social skills and is quite insecure. Adults are the preferred sexual targets, but these offenders lack the social skills to make the relationship work. Children are used as a substitute because they are less threatening and intimidating, or sometimes as merely another sexual exploration.

PREFERENTIAL/FIXATED: Preferential molesters have strong sexual fantasies and sexual urges for children, which have been present since an early age. They typically have specific sex and age range preferences, and may have particular sexual rituals. This group is divided into three major sub-groups or patterns. Individuals in the higher socioeconomic groups tend to be over represented in this category.

The fixated is the SEDUCTION MOLESTER who may have a strong and exclusive sexual interest in children. The feel “in love" with the children who they molest and lure them with gifts, activities, and individual attention. The offender is keenly aware of and exploit the wants and needs of children. The offenders are usually good talkers and listeners. They may gradually lower the child’s resistance. This offender often targets needy or neglected children. He may be molesting several victims at the same time.

The INTROVERTED MOLESTER is an offender who is sexually fixated on children but lacks the skills to effectively seduce them. They tend to fear open communications, and instead talk very little while quickly proceeding to brief sexual encounters. Victims are often strangers and very young children. The offender may marry women with children who he targets. These men often also make obscene phone calls or expose themselves.

The SADISTIC MOLESTER is both rare and very dangerous. This offender prefers children for his sexual objects, and also needs to inflict pain on his victim in order to attain sexual arousal and excitement. The victim is lured into the offense situation or are sometimes abducted by force. These men carry the psychiatric diagnoses pedophilia with sexual sadism.

Peter Lewis-

Elements and relevant circumstances of the offense:
the defendant molested victims: Johnny, Larry R. and George R..

Victim Johnny, age 11 told officers of four incidents in which the defendant had molested him. on one occasion, he went to the defendant's house to get some wood for a bike ramp and the defendant invited him in and they proceeded into the defendant's bedroom. the defendant put him on the bed having him lie on his stomach and pulled his shorts down. the defendant then rubbed his penis against him and then put his penis into Johnny's rectum. the defendant stated, "if you tell anyone, I'll do something to you." the defendant held his hands behind his back during the incident. The second occasion occurred at the victim's house; while inside the bedroom, the defendant laid the victim on the floor and sexually molested him in the same manner. The third incident also occurred at the victim's house, and the fourth incident occurred at the defendant's house with the defendant sexually molesting the victim in the same manner.

Larry R. age 9, (a neighbor) told officers that the first incident he remembers occurred at the defendant's house. As they were playing video games, the defendant put his penis in his "butt," after the defendant took off his and the victims clothes and had the victim lie on his stomach on the floor. the defendant then told the victim not to tell anyone. Larry said that the defendant did the same thing to him on two or three other occasions.

Larry R, (son of defendant's ex-girlfriend) told officers that the sexual acts occurred when he was around 9 years old and continued through the fourth grade (1990-1991). The defendant would lie him on the victim's bedroom floor and lie on top of the victim and put his penis in his buttocks; this occurred approximately 10 to 15 times. George states his mother knew that he and brothers were being molested.

during the time the defendant was molesting him and after his mother talked with the defendant, the molests didn't happen as much, but would continue.

The defendant readily admitted to the above charges but states he never penetrated any of the victims; he rubbed against them and between their legs with his penis touching their rectum.

Defendant statement:
defendant admits the present offense and has confessed to God for forgiveness. what he has done really bothers him because he is a Christian and knows it was wrong. He feels he is "ok" now but feels he could use counseling. he was tired of committing the acts and stopped on his own.

Before the present allegations were brought against him, he talked with Ms. Reeves (girlfriend) about his problem and sought counseling centers told him that they would have to report any criminal offenses if told to them by the defendant and he couldn't admit his crime. He feels he needs counseling because he was molested by his older brother when he was young.

He states Larry and George (the brothers) lived three houses from him and the victims would come over to visit him and it got to a point where the victims would come into his room. He further states the victim's parents were 'drug abusers.'

He believes he can detect people in the community who commits these types of crimes and many children in the community who have been molested and hope to someday help these people.

He is very sorry that it happened.

Interested parties:
FAVORABLE LETTERS ON DEFENDANT’S BEHALF HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR THE COURTS CONSIDERATION. MS. INNOCENT, (DEFENDANTS EX-GIRLFRIEND AND THE MOTHER OF TWO OF THE VICTIMS), STATES SHE AND THE DEFENDANT HAVE BEEN GOOD FRIENDS FOR 6 YEARS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP EVOLVED INTO TALK OF MARRIAGE. THE DEFENDANT HAS A LOT OF GOOD QUALITIES AND SHE WOULD RATHER SEE THE DEFENDANT GET HELP/REHABILITATION THAN TIME IN PRISON. THE DEFENDANT HAS A ‘FAMILY ILLNESS’ WHICH HE CAN’T CONTROL. THE DEFENDANT ALWAYS WANTED HELP BUT NEVER GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IT. WHEN HER SON LARRY TOLD HER ABOUT BEING MOLESTED BY THE DEFENDANT, SHE CONFRONTED THE DEFENDANT AND HE ADMITTED IT AND THEY BOTH CALLED HOT LINES TO SEEK COUNSELING BUT THEY WERE BOTH VERY AFRAID TO TELL ANYONE WHAT THE DEFENDANT DID. HOWEVER, ON ONE OCCASION, THE DEFENDANT WENT TO COUNSELING. AFTER CONFRONTING THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THE MOLESTATION, THE DEFENDANT STOPPED MOLESTING HER SON FOR ALMOST ONE YEAR BUT STARTED AGAIN BECAUSE HE CAN’T CONTROL HIMSELF.

SHE ADMITS BEING ‘SLIGHTLY PREJUDICE’ BECAUSE SHE WAS AN ABUSED WIFE AND ALWAYS BURDEN HERSELF WITH WANTING TO HELP OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED SUCH AS THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS ABUSED AS A CHILD. AS FOR HER SONS, THEY ARE ALL DOING FINE. THEY HAVE BEEN IN COUNSELING FOR 2 MONTHS AND LARRY TOLD HIS COUNSELOR IN REGARDS TO THE MOLESTATION THAT ‘WHEN HE GETS BIGGER, HE WILL FEEL BETTER.’ LARRY IS AFRAID OF THE DEFENDANT AND DOES NOT WHAT OTHERS TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. SHE STATES THE DEFENDANT ATTEMPTED TO MOLEST HER OTHER SON, JEREMY, BUT IS SURE IF THE DEFENDANT DID NOT PENETRATE ANY OF HER SONS AND THAT THE DETECTIVE MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT LARRY SAID AND LARRY WAS CONFUSED.

MS. RUBY LONG, MOTHER OF VICTIM JOHNNY AND LARRY R., STATES SHE HAD CUSTODY OF LARRY AND DENIES BRUNKHURST (FATHER) HAD CUSTODY OF JOHNNY; LARRY WOULD VISIT JOHNNY ON THE WEEKENDS AND THE MOLESTS OCCURRED DURING THOSE VISITS. SHE CURRENTLY HAS CUSTODY OF BOTH SONS. HER SONS ARE VERY AFRAID OF THE DEFENDANT, HER YOUNGEST IS MOST AFRAID AND HE REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT THE INCIDENTS. HER SON JOHNNY IS DOING POOR IN SCHOOL AND SHE BELIEVES IT IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE SEXUAL ABUSE. THEY ATTENDED COUNSELING BUT STOPPED BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE FEES AND SHE DOES KNOWN WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. JOSHUA HAS BECOME MORE WITHDRAWN AND IS CONSTANTLY LOOKING OVER HIS SHOULDER IN FEAR OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. SHE STATES THE DEFENDANT FORCED HIMSELF ON HER SON BECAUSE HER SON TOLD HER HE WOULD ALWAYS SAY ‘NO’ EVERY TIME THE DEFENDANT SEXUALLY ABUSED HIM AND THE DEFENDANT SEXUALLY ABUSED HIM AND THE DEFENDANT WOULD THREATEN TO HURT HIS OTHER BROTHER OR PARENTS.

SHE STATES THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN TO HER CHILDREN. HER CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GROW UP WITH SEXUAL ABUSE EXPERIENCES. SHE IS STILL SHOCKED ABOUT THE WHOLE INCIDENT AND SHE FEELS THE DEFENDANT SHOULD NEVER BE RELEASED FROM CUSTODY.

SHE FURTHER STATES THE DEFENDANT PENETRATED HER SON AND IS UNSURE ABOUT HER OTHER SON BECAUSE HE WON’T TALK ABOUT IT.

DETECTIVE SMITH STATES THE DEFENDANT IS COLD AND CALCULATED BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, IS ACTING RESPONSIBLE. THE DEFENDANT DID CONFESS OPENLY AND HONESTLY BUT DENIES PENETRATION OF THE VICTIMS AND DENIES THREATENING THE VICTIMS AND HE IS REALLY UNSURE IF THE DEFENDANT ACTUALLY PENETRATED THE VICTIMS.

HE STATES MS. INNOCENT IS STILL IN LOVE WITH THE DEFENDANT AND BELIEVES THE DEFENDANT USED HER EMOTIONS TO GAIN TRUST AND ACCESS TO HER SONS TO MOLEST. THE DEFENDANT PUT HIMSELF IN POSITIONS WHERE HE IS AROUND OTHER CHILDREN AND AFTER GAINING THEIR TRUST, ABUSED THEM. HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING BY CHOOSING TO ABUSE DISADVANTAGED/SINGLE PARENT CHILDREN.

HE STATES HE PROCRASTINATED ABOUT GETTING HELP AND HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET INTO COUNSELING BUT TOOK NO ACTION. MS. INNOCENT’S CHILDREN SUFFERED FOR YEARS AND THE DEFENDANT WAS ONLY THINKING OF HELP FOR HIMSELF. MS. INNOCENT NEVER REPORTED THE ABUSE NOR SOUGHT COUNSELING FOR HER ABUSED CHILDREN AND IF SHE WAS STILL IN CALIFORNIA, HE WOULD PROBABLY SEEK CHARGES FOR HER AS WELL.

THE DEFENDANT LIED TO MS. INNOCENT ABOUT GOING TO COUNSELING AND AFTER SHE LEFT HIM, THE DEFENDANT PUT HIMSELF IN ANOTHER POSITION TO BE AROUND CHILDREN BY TEACHING THIRD GRADERS AND BECOMING A SCOUT FOR CHILDREN AT THE CHURCH.

THE DEFENDANT HAS MOLESTED AT LEAST FIVE CHILDREN AND HE FEELS THAT TWELVE YEARS IN CUSTODY WOULD BE MORE THAN GENEROUS IN THIS CASE. THE DEFENDANT SHOULD FIRST BE SEVERELY PUNISHED AND THEN REHABILITATED.

Evaluation:
THE CRIME COMMITTED BY THE DEFENDANT IS VERY SERIOUS. IT INVOLVES NOT ONE BUT THREE VICTIMS ALL UNDER THE AGE OF 14. AS INDICATED BY THE INVESTIGATING OFFICER, THE DEFENDANT SEXUALLY ABUSED AT LEAST FIVE YOUNG BOYS. THESE CHILDREN WILL UNDOUBTEDLY SUFFER A NUMBER OF YEARS; THEY WILL HAVE DIFFICULTY TRUSTING OTHERS WHO SINCERELY WANT TO HELP/BEFRIEND THEM AS WELL AS A HOST OF OTHER PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE. AS INDICATED BY THE VICTIM’S MOTHER, THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND CHILDREN SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GROW UP WITH SEXUAL ABUSE EXPERIENCES. AS FOR LARRY R., IT IS UNFORTUNATE HIS MOTHER INITIALLY DID NOTHING, LEAVING LARRY WITH A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND WITH ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS AS WELL.

PERHAPS THE DEFENDANT TRULY WANTS HELP AND KNOWS WHAT HE HAS DONE WRONG. HE APPEARS SINCERELY COMMITTED TO CHANGING HOWEVER, HE ACCEPTED RESPONSIBILITY ‘AFTER THE FACT.’ HE CONFESSED ONLY AFTER BEING CALLED IN FOR QUESTIONING AND CONTINUED TO MOLEST VICTIM JOHNNY R. AFTER JOHNNY’S MOTHER FOUND OUT AND CONFRONTED HIM. HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO GET HELP BUT PROCRASTINATED AND INSTEAD CONTINUED TO ABUSE THE VICTIMS. HE FURTHER CONTINUED TO PUT HIMSELF IN POSITIONS WHERE HE COULD BE AROUND CHILDREN AND GAIN THEIR TRUST. IT IS FURTHER DISTURBING THAT THE DEFENDANT CLAIMS TO BE INSIGHTFUL IN THAT HE UNDERSTANDS AND WANTS TO HELP ABUSED CHILDREN AND WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE, CONTINUES TO ABUSE THESE CHILDREN. IN FACT, IT IS BELIEVED HE CHOSE TO ABUSE CHILDREN WHO WERE SOMEWHAT DISADVANTAGED, NEEDY OR FROM SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS; PERHAPS BELIEVING IT WOULD BE EASIER TO VICTIMIZE THEM WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT.

IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DEFENDANT SUFFERED ABUSE AS A CHILD, BUT THAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY HIS ACTIONS IN THE INSTANT MATTER AS IT DOES NOT JUSTIFY ACTIONS OF OTHER CRIMINALS WHO BLAME THEIR BEHAVIOR ON CHILDHOOD ABUSE. HE CHOSE TO COMMIT THESE CRIMES. ALTHOUGH THE DEFENDANT IS VERY REMORSEFUL, THE FACT REMAINS THAT HE CONTINUED TO COMMIT THESE CRIMES ON A NUMBER OF CHILDREN AND IT IS BELIEVED IF GIVEN ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, HE WOULD DO THE SAME.

WHEN CONSIDERING THE ABOVE AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF INNOCENT CHILDREN, HIS SENTENCE SHOULD INCLUDE SUBSTANTIAL TIME IN CUSTODY AS WELL AS REHABILITATION. WITH AN APPROPRIATE SENTENCE, THE PROGNOSIS FOR THE DEFENDANT APPEARS GOOD AND HE COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A POSITIVE ROLE MODEL AND COUNSEL OTHER CHILD ABUSERS.

Psychiatric report: Subject: Peter Lewis

BACKGROUND HISTORY GIVEN BY HIM REVEALED THAT HE WAS BORN IN LOS ANGELES ON DECEMBER 15, 1966, THE YOUNGER OF 2 BROTHERS OF PARENTS WHO SEPARATED WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 2-YEARS OF AGE, ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER’S INFIDELITY. UNTIL AGE 12 HE REMAINED WITH HIS MOTHER, THEN RE-TURNED TO HIS FATHER BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL ABUSE BY HIS MOTHER’S COMMON-LAW SPOUSE. WHEN HE WAS 5 HE LEARNED THAT HE HAD A BROTHER 5 YEARS HIS SENIOR. BEFORE THE MOVE TO HIS FATHER’S HOME THERE HAD BEEN FREQUENT CHANGES OF RESIDENCE BECAUSE OF HIS “STEPFATHER’S” ALCOHOLISM, FREQUENT JOB CHANGES, AND MATERIAL DESTRUCTIVENESS. AT TIMES THE DEFENDANT HAD TO BE HIDDEN AND FEW PRIVILEGES BECAUSE THE APARTMENT IN WHICH THEY LIVED DID NOT ACCEPT CHILDREN. BOTH PARENTS EVENTUALLY REMARRIED. AFTER HE MOVED TO THE HOME OF HIS FATHER AND BROTHER IN DOWNEY, HE AND HIS BROTHER BECAME VERY PROTECTIVE OF EACH OTHER. HIS CONSCIOUS EMOTIONAL IDENTIFICATION APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN WITH HIS MOTHER.

HE DESCRIBED HIMSELF AS SHY DURING BOYHOOD. “A MAMMA’S BOY” AND A PERFECTIONIST. “MY BROTHER WAS MACHO, AND I WAS THE SISSY.” UNTIL EARLY ADOLESCENCE HE WAS A FINGERNAIL BITER. AT 17 HE BEGAN WORK AS A YMCA ACTIVITY LEADER, AND 2 YEARS LATER LEFT THE HOME OF HIS FATHER AND STEPMOTHER. THEREAFTER, HE LIVED INTERMITTENTLY WITH PAMELA INNOCENT, MOTHER OF THREE OF THE VICTIMS IN THE CURRENT MATTER. A MATERNAL AUNT HAS RECEIVED PSYCHIATRIC CARE, AND A PATERNAL AUNT IS RETARDED. PHYSICAL HEALTH HAS BEEN GOOD, AND THERE IS NO HISTORY OF HEAD INJURY, SEIZURES, VENEREAL DISEASE, OR PSYCHIATRIC CARE. ALTHOUGH HE HAS HAD LIFELONG LUMBAR SCOLIOSIS, IT IS ESSENTIALLY ASYMPTOTIC.

ALCOHOL USE HAS BEEN INSIGNIFICANT. AT AGE 20 HE EXPERIMENTED WITH MARIJUANA, BUT DISCLAIMED USE OF ANY OTHER ILLICIT DRUG. HIS ONLY PRIOR OFFENSE TOOK PLACE IN 1988 FOR AUTO TAMPERING, FOR WHICH HE WAS APPARENTLY GIVEN SUMMARY PROBATION. HE STATED THAT HE WAS WITH A RELATIVE WHO ATTEMPTED TO STEAL VEHICLE RIMS, AT WHICH POINT BOTH WERE APPREHENDED. EDUCATION INCLUDES HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AT AGE 18 WITH BELOW AVERAGE ACHIEVEMENT “BECAUSE I WASN’T MOTIVATED AND BECAME A CLOWN IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. BUT IN THE 6TH GRADE I HAD STRAIGHT ‘A’S.” EVENTUALLY HE COMPLETED 12 UNITS OF CHILD DEVELOPMENT COURSES AT COLLEGE OF THE SEQUOIAS COLLEGE A SMALL TOWN JUNIOR COLLEGE. MAJOR EMPLOYMENT HAS BEEN AS A TRUCK DRIVER, YMCA COUNSELOR, ACTIVITY LEADER AND SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, AT A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IN SMALL TOWN. DURING HIS LAST MONTH THERE HE BECAME A FULL TEACHER. DURING PREADOLESCENCE HE ATTENDED PROTESTANT CHURCH FOR 3 YEARS, BUT RECENTLY HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN THE ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH.

FORMAL SEXUAL EDUCATION WAS RECEIVED LARGELY IN A HEALTH CLASS WHICH HE TOOK AT AGE 12. AFTER AGE 7 HE WAS REPEATEDLY VICTIMIZED BY HIS BROTHER WHO SIMULATED ACTS OF INTERCOURSE BY PRESSING HIS PENIS AGAINST THE DEFENDANT’S RECTUM, BUT DID NOT ACHIEVE PENETRATION. “HE WOULD PUT ME IN POSITION ON MY STOMACH, THEN WOULD LIE ON ME FOR A FEW MINUTES. I THINK HE EJACULATED, TOO, BUT AT THE TIME I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT IT WAS. WE NEVER DISCUSSED IT UNTIL AFTER MY ARREST, WHEN MY BROTHER SAID IT WAS LIKE A DREAM TO HIM SO HE NEVER MENTIONED IT.” AT AGE 10 THE DEFENDANT ENGAGED IN SOME EXPLORATORY ACTIVITY WITH HIS HALF SISTER OF SIMILAR AGE.

SOLITARY MASTURBATION TOOK PLACE AFTER HIS 12TH YEAR, ABOUT WHICH HE EXPRESSED FEELINGS OF GUILT. AT 13 THERE WAS ONE INCIDENT OF FONDLING WITH A MALE PEER WHILE THEY SLEPT TOGETHER. AT THE SAME AGE HE RECALLED TOUCHING HIS PENIS AGAINST THE GENITALS OF HIS RETARDED AUNT. LATER IN ADOLESCENCE SOLITARY MASTURBATION WAS STIMULATED BY MEMORIES OF VIEWING PICTURES OF NUDE FEMALES POSSESSED BY HIS FATHER.

DURING REVIEW OF HIS PENDING OFFENSES HE STATED THAT, DURING 1989, HE BEGAN SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR AT THE HOME OF PAMELA INNOCENT (ABOUT 11 YEARS HIS SENIOR), SINCE HE WAS SPENDING MUCH OF HIS FREE TIME THERE. IN 1989, LARRY R. BEGAN CUDDLING UP TO ME, I GOT AN ERECTION, PULLED DOWN HIS PANTS, AND PUT MY PENIS BETWEEN HIS LEGS IN BACK, DID THE SAME THING MY BROTHER DID TO ME. I WAS NERVOUS, BUT LIKED HOW IT FELT. THE FIRST TIME HE WAS ASLEEP, BUT THE NEXT TIME HE AWAKENED AND DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING. THE NEXT TIME I TOLD HIM NOT TO SAY ANYTHING. THERE WERE ABOUT 12 SIMILAR ACTS OVER THE NEXT YEAR. LATER, HE TOLD HIS MOM, AND WE TALKED ABOUT IT AND DECIDED I NEEDED HELP. I GOT ONE COUNSELING SESSION, BUT DIDN’T TELL THEM EVERYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPORT IT. I DECIDED NOT TO GO BACK.” HE THOUGHT HE STOPPED HAVING SEXUAL CONTACTS WITH LARRY R. IN 1989. LATER HE TURNED TO JOHNNY H. (NOW AGE 11) IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD, AFTER THEY PARTICIPATED IN VARIOUS MUTUAL RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES. THE DEFENDANT SIMULATED SODOMY WITH HIM AFTER THEY HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. HE FELT THIS MINOR DID NOT RESIST THE SEXUAL ACTS, WHICH WERE REPEATED ON ABOUT 5 OCCASIONS. DURING THE SAME YEAR, WHILE BRIEFLY SEPARATED FROM PAMELA, HE HAD 3 ACTS WITH LARRY B., NOW AGE 9, THE BROTHER OF JOHNNY H. “HE DIDN’T OBJECT.”

DURING 1990, HE RESUMED CONTACT WITH PAMELA AND THEY HAD INTERCOURSE, WHICH WAS HIS FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH A FEMALE. “WE CONTINUED TO HAVE INTERCOURSE REGULARLY FOR THE NEXT 6 TO 8 MONTHS, BUT SHE WAS AFRAID TO HAVE ME AROUND THE KIDS. I WASN’T ALLOWED TO BE ALONE WITH THEM.” TWO YEARS EARLIER THEY HAD TALKED OF MARRIAGE AT SOME FUTURE TIME. HOWEVER, DURING 1991, PAMELA AND HER 3 CHILDREN MOVED TO CAROLINA. HER SONS ARE NOW IN COUNSELING IN THAT STATE. “I DON'T THINK SHE WILL EVER TRUST ME AGAIN. SHE SAID SHE LOVED ME, BUT COULDN’T MARRY ME.”

WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT PAST SEXUAL CONTACT WITH JERRY A., PAMELA’S SON NOW ABOUT AGE 14, THE DEFENDANT STATED, “I TOUCHED HIM TWICE AT DIFFERENT TIMES, BUT HE (VICTIM) DIDN’T LIKE IT.” HE READILY ADMITTED ABOUT 3 ACTS WITH JERRY A., JEREMY’S BROTHER. THE DEFENDANT’S USUALLY EJACULATED AFTER EACH CONTACT WITH A MINOR MALE, BUT INSISTED THIS WAS OUTSIDE THE VIEW OF HIS VICTIMS. A YEAR AGO HE INITIATED A SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH PENNY A DAY CARE WORKER OF SIMILAR AGE AT GOOD FELLOW CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, WITH WHOM HE EVENTUALLY HAD INTERCOURSE ONCE. HE INDICATED THAT SHE WAS ONLY THE SECOND FEMALE WITH WHOM HE HAD SEXUAL CONTACT.

HE WAS INITIALLY INTERVIEWED BY A DETECTIVE ON APRIL 29, 1992, BUT NOT ARRESTED UNTIL JUNE 3RD. “I DECIDED TO TURN MYSELF IN 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE DETECTIVE TALKED TO ME. PAMELA AND I HAD DISCUSSED IT, AND I WAS GOING TO TURN MYSELF IN. IN MY CONFESSION I WANTED TO GET EVERYTHING OFF MY BACK. I WANT TO BE A NORMAL PERSON. I WANT THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED.”

CURRENT MENTAL STATUS REVEALED AN ALERT, COOPERATIVE, LOQUACIOUS AND MODERATELY PRESSURED YOUNG MAN WITH INTACT MEMORY AND AT LEAST AVERAGE INTELLIGENCE. HE WAS TAKING NO MEDICATION, AND HAS NO HISTORY OF SIGNIFICANT MOOD SWINGS OR IMPAIRED REALITY CONTACT. AFFECT WAS ANIMATED. AT ONE POINT HE LAPSED INTO TEARS, BUT OTHERWISE MAINTAINED GOOD CONTROL.

HE EXPRESSED FEAR OF PRISON AND INMATES WHO MIGHT ASSAULT HIM BECAUSE OF HIS CRIME. HE DID NOT THINK HE WOULD REPEAT SEXUAL ACTS WITH BOYS, “BUT I’M UNCERTAIN BECAUSE I WAS NEVER ALONE WITH THEM DURING THE ACTIVITY PROGRAM THIS YEAR.” HE REQUESTED TREATMENT DIRECTED TOWARD RESOLUTION OF HIS SEXUAL FIXATION.

THE PHYSICAL EXAMINATION ON INSPECTION REVEALED A WELL GROOMED YOUNG MAN WHO WORE A THIN MUSTACHE. HE GAVE HIS HEIGHT AS 6-FEET AND WEIGHT 195 POUNDS.

Diagnosis:
1. SEXUAL DISORDER, PEDOPHILIA, SAME SEX, NONEXCLUSIVE TYPE. 2. OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE NEUROSIS.

Opinion:
1. MR. Peter Lewis DEMONSTRATES A CLASSICAL CASE OF PREADOLESCENT SEXUAL FIXATION BASED UPON HIS HAVING BEEN REPEATEDLY VICTIMIZED THROUGH SEXUAL ACTS WITH HIS MUCH ELDER BROTHER AFTER THE DEFENDANT’S 7TH YEAR. THIS REPRESENTS A REPETITION COMPULSION, IN WHICH HE DESIRES TO REPEAT SUCH ACTS WITH PREADOLESCENT BOYS TO SECURE PLEASURE AND A THE SAME TIME ATTEMPTING TO REDUCE THE TURMOIL ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE EARLY EXPERIENCES. IN HIS FAVOR IS THE FACT THAT HE IS NOT EXCLUSIVELY FIXED UPON MINOR MALES, BUT HAS RECENTLY MOVED TOWARD MORE MATURE HETEROSEXUAL OUTLETS. HE IS NOT ANTISOCIAL, EXPLOSIVE OR SADISTIC.

2. WITH TREATMENT THE PROGNOSIS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND RESOLUTION OF UNDERLYING CONFLICTS APPEARS REASONABLY GOOD. HE IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO DENY HIS PROBLEM OR THE SERIOUSNESS OF HIS ACTS WITH IMPRESSIONABLE VICTIMS. HE IS EMOTIONALLY IMMATURE, BUT CONSCIENTIOUS, SINCERE, AND MOTIVATED TOWARD CHANGE. FROM A PSYCHIATRIC VIEWPOINT, EXTENDED PUNISHMENT WILL BE OF LITTLE VALUE. HE IS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN FULL COOPERATIVE WITH ALL STAGES OF THE INVESTIGATIONS. IF REQUIRED TO SERVE A SENTENCE IN PRISON, PLACEMENT IN A SEMI-PROTECTIVE SETTING IS SUGGESTED, PREFERABLY WHERE PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT CAN BE INITIATED, DIRECTED TOWARD ATTEMPTS AT RESOLUTION OF HIS EMOTIONAL CONFLICTS. WHEN RELEASED, HE SHOULD CONTINUE OUTPATIENT TREATMENT UNDER SUPERVISION AT HIS OWN EXPENSE UNTIL BOTH HIS THERAPIST AND THE COURT DETERMINE THAT HE IS NO LONGER A MENACE TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF MINOR MALES.
