Of course I had to check out the silverdaddies site. You really do NOT want to go there. Hopefully, this arrest will cause LE to take a very close look at the children who post there. They might say they are 18 but I've raised nine sons and they most decidedly are NOT. More like early to mid-teens.
This was the second major bust in Medford this week involving older men and younger boys. Thank goodness the boy's mom found out and called LE.
Mr. Costa happens to be the Marketing Director for Tuality Hospital in a suburb of Portland.

Medford [OR] teen victimized in *advertiser censored*, sex case
Portland men charged with federal crimes stemming from online meeting with 15-year-old
"Two Portland men were arrested this week on federal charges stemming from a sexual relationship they allegedly had with a 15-year-old Medford boy between March and May of this year.
Brian J. Costa, 52, of southwest Portland, and John A. Dougal, 42, of north Portland, were arrested by U.S. Marshals Monday afternoon, and booked and released from Multnomah County Jail on charges including possession of child *advertiser censored* and producing child *advertiser censored*...."
and
"....According to the criminal complaint, Costa allegedly met the 15-year-old boy in March through the online dating site silverdaddies.com. The website's front-page welcome banner says "This site is a meeting place for mature men and other men (both daddies and younger), who are interested in keeping their daddy happy and/or sexually satisfied."
The affidavit said that throughout their relationship, Costa would refer to the 15-year-old as "my boy," and the boy would refer to Costa as "my daddy," in conversations.
Initially, the 15-year-old's profile on the website said that he was 18, but he told investigators that soon after his relationship began with Costa he revealed to him that he was only 15 and Costa said he was "okay" with that...."
