OH - Man Claims Right To Have Sex With Boys

[Beyond Belief]

CLEVELAND -- It was probably not a defense the court had heard before.



A suburban Cleveland man accused of sexually assaulting nine disabled boys told a judge Wednesday that his apartment was a religious sanctuary where smoking marijuana and having sex with children are sacred rituals protected by civil rights laws.



The admitted pedophile offered a surprising defense Wednesday to 74 charges of rape, drugs and pandering obscenity to minors.

He told the judge, "I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years. The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."

Paedophiles often claim children have a right to consent to sex. and he goes on to say sex with boys can be healthy.

moreover, Distasio has a history of working with children dating back 10 years.

throw away the key! :behindbar :behindbar :behindbar

This sounds like a NAMBLA member way of thinking. Sick, disgusting and perverted. :razz:

No doubt. Seems like more and more nuts are coming out of the woodwork each day.

Well a "Texas woman" (who shall remain nameless) claims to have the right to shoot a pedophile in the face if he comes near one of her children. :silenced:

Yes, I believe that right is established. "All men are created equal, except for pedophiles who should die." Isn't that how it goes?

I say let's have an amendment and add that one to the constitution.

OMG!! I can see the ACLU racing to the side of this pervert right now:furious:

Has the ACLU ever actually defended the right of a pedophile to have sex with children?

Or has the ACLU defended the right of people to argue that any law (including an "age of consent" law) is unreasonable, unfair, unconstitutional, etc.?

There's a big difference between the two positions.

ACLU Statement on Defending Free Speech of Unpopular Organizations (8/31/2000)


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


NEW YORK--In the United States Supreme Court over the past few years, the American Civil Liberties Union has taken the side of a fundamentalist Christian church, a Santerian church, and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. In celebrated cases, the ACLU has stood up for everyone from Oliver North to the National Socialist Party. In spite of all that, the ACLU has never advocated Christianity, ritual animal sacrifice, trading arms for hostages or genocide. In representing NAMBLA today, our Massachusetts affiliate does not advocate sexual relationships between adults and children.

What the ACLU does advocate is robust freedom of speech for everyone. The lawsuit involved here, were it to succeed, would strike at the heart of freedom of speech. The case is based on a shocking murder. But the lawsuit says the crime is the responsibility not of those who committed the murder, but of someone who posted vile material on the Internet. The principle is as simple as it is central to true freedom of speech: those who do wrong are responsible for what they do; those who speak about it are not.

It is easy to defend freedom of speech when the message is something many people find at least reasonable. But the defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people find repulsive. That was true when the Nazis marched in Skokie. It remains true today.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

I said that because the pervert is saying "that his apartment was a religious sanctuary where smoking marijuana and having sex with children are sacred rituals protected by civil rights laws."

Sorry if my sarcasm wasn't clear enough

 

[Nova]

Thanks, Jeana. That's what I thought.

I find NAMBLA rhetoric just as tasteless and disturbing as most find it.

But we are all in trouble if it becomes illegal to advocate that a law be changed or to educate others on the need to change it.

I merely asked a question. There's no need to roll your eyes at me.

It isn't uncommon to find wild, "the ACLU loves child molesters!" posts here. I see now that wasn't the intent of your sarcasm. My bad.

My point is only that the ACLU defends principles, usually important ones, whether or not its lawyers "love" the defendant.
