but the age difference? once they were all in their twenties and another time at least one was under 10? that’s a hellavu difference there for you to not notice. I may not remember that Doug’s daughter is 8 vs. 10, but fuck if I don’t recall that she’s 10 vs. 24. ---

I may not remember that Doug’s daughter is 8 vs. 10, but fuck if I don’t recall that she’s 10 vs. 24. No no no…ok, Katrina has always been 33, Deirdre sometimes doesn’t exist and went from 25 to 27, Kim went from 29 to 24, and Vicki has always been 21. Those are his biological daughters that he talked about. Then there’s Heather and Melinda, whom he says he adopted from abusive parents that were neighbor’s down the street from him. They are 14 and 8, respectively. Those didn’t change. ---

Ok, here’s what we’ve got so far. My announcement on my forum, which provides a shitload of evidence against him, and now this: The photos are a match. So we’re working against a level 3 registered sex offender, who has the home address of a 14 year old female member of my forum. She’s being walked to school in the morning by someone with a gun, just in case, because last week he told her that it should be the 30th when he makes it to her town. Her mother is contacting the Scottsbluff police dept tomorrow morning too, as well as The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I’m in the process of turning my YIM archives with him into a huge text file, and told the other girl to do the same. I have no idea where to go from here. I’ve never had to deal with something like this before. ---

I just read the thread on your forum. I had no idea S. was 14. I’m so sorry you have to deal with all of this. ---

Hit submit too soon. The reason I urge you to do that is you may not want to be opening that can of worms. Also, there’s a terms of use, as far as I know, for the databases of such offenders. By posting it online, you may have violated those terms. I don’t know if you did violate them by doing it, I’m just saying you may have violated those terms. Safest bet: don’t post it. 2nd safest: remove it if you did post it. ---

**Spongemom** , from what I’ve read on your site about this, this guy’s in a different state from you and your forum members he appears to have been grooming and making plans to meet. You should consider talking with the FBI about this situation. I’m no lawyer, but I think Bard’s actions could be covered under [these sections of the federal criminal code:](http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/cac/federal.htm) > [@](#): > > Section 2422. Coercion and Enticement > > ``` > * Whoever knowingly persuades, induces, entices, or coerces any individual to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, to engage in prostitution or in any sexual activity for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. > > ``` > > Section 2423(b). Interstate or Foreign Travel with Intent to Engage in a Sexual Act with a Juvenile > > ``` > * Whoever knowingly travels or conspires to do so in interstate or foreign commerce, or in any Territory or Possession of the United States, with the intent to engage in any sexual activity with a person under 18 years of age for which any person can be charged with a criminal offense. > > ``` > > Section 2425.

I’m closing this thread. Please note: 1. Do not post links to a registered sex offender database. If you have information about a registered sex offender that you feel is relevant to the SDMB, please communicate it privately to a moderator or administrator. 2. **Big Willie Shakes** and **monospectacular** were socks and have been banned. 3. **Spongemom** , be aware that you’ve become a target. Please start exercising some common sense lest you get yourself and those around you into serious trouble.
