He says he had "sexual intercourse" with his daughter. That's called rape, call it what it is! Sickening.
Right! discussing person
Rape AND incest!! Absolutely disgusting and heartbreaking for his daughter 💔
he said "I molested my daughter". He is very aware of what he did. rape is a sexual intercourse, which is the act in itself. It give just more precision regarding consent.
Also, "had sex with." He's still not taking responsibility. Repeated endlessly how he wishes "it had never happened." He can't account for raping the girls, & there were definitely more than the 2. He'll never admit to it though. This was all just a fluke, & he "wishes people would understand" his position. Now he has to stop & think whether or not his daily behavior "is good or not." That's not how nonsociopaths operate in life. Men like him just want to do what they want to do, & have zero regard for their impact in others. He spoke nothing of long-term consequences he directly caused his daughter to have. "She didn't know what to do" at the store? I laughed out loud. This guy is the epitome of disgusting.
Then Mark with the “how did you SEDUCE the neighbor girl?” 🙄 Can’t finish this one after that, revolting all around
I’m always confused how child molesters get time in prison reduced for good behavior. There are no children in prison, he didn’t commit crimes against grown men.
It shows the lack of importance children are in the head of judges and parole boards.
@@vacheriedevacherie1959 many of whom are pedophiles as well
That happens for every crime not just child molesters. It’s how the prison system works.
@@R1tu4lz but it makes no sense. He hurt a child, and unimaginable crime. And he got 50 years for it. He should spend those exact years, so fucked up:(
I guess Sex offenders and child molesters get jumped in prison more often than other inmates and they usually have no gang background, So they won’t initiate any trouble to get themselves into a worse situation to survive . That’s how they usually have “good behavior “ in prison
My heart dropped when he said i molester my daughter and 9 year old neighbor. Those poor kids and all the children who go through something so horrific.
those are the only ones he admitted to. he has many more
As a victim of sexual child abuse what buffles me is how much help the offenders get but how little options there is for victims. I understand that the treatment stops the offenders from hurting others but we, the victims need to function in society as well. I am affected to this day, pay for expensive therapy and don't get the government to help me because I can't keep a job due to my trauma.
Another thing is the reaction of the neighbors to the girls being abused, taunting them at school for being victims of something so horrific speaks volumes about the society. It's absolutely disgusting.
I appreciate the fact that this man was honest about what he has done. I had to hide the secret of who my abuser was because of how many people it could affect which is fucked as well. Victims protecting other people's feelings while they suffer.
And it makes this backwards crap all the worse because the treatment these monsters get for free doesn’t work anyway. The money would be better spent on the victims. I’m so sorry you were on the victim end 💔🙏🏻
I'm so sorry. Yes, it's sickening how this patriarchal system coddles the offender but leave the victims out in the cold to fend for themselves.
Please take care of yourself. 💙💛💚🤎💜
Yours is the most important comment I've seen here so far.
FBI did nothing for my victim friend in the 90s. Nothing. Even after multiple calls.
HE WAS NOT HONEST About What he has Done. NEVER TRUST ANYONE LIKE THIS. EVER.
I spent 17 years as a child abuse investigator. What I saw over and over was women who's fathers had abused them would allow their fathers to babysit. Their thought process was that yes he abused me, his daughter, but he surely wouldn't abuse his granddaughter. Guess how that turned out. Please don't make this mistake ladies. Once an abuser always an abuser.
Isn't this behavior hereditary? Same goes for a man's rape mentality. It will be passed down to their offsprings
That's pure retardation. I hope you attacked them as viciously as possible for that level of stupid
I was a victim of my father and even if he came crawling back he'd never see my children. Thank you for putting this out there because this is absolutely real! I'm here because he raped my mother and I was sent to live with him and it happened to me.
@@aburgess9886 I am truly sorry for pain. May God bless you and yours.
I've seen this time and time again and not just with the fathers but with the mother who where the abusers to then the daughters wanna let them babysit. It's the exact reason why me and my sister are no longer speaking, for putting nieces and nephews in danger
See, as a child i used to get so upset when my mom wouldnt let me sleep at my friends house or go there alone without my older brother but hearing stories like this I feel so blessed to have a family who protected me
haha same! I was never allowed to do sleep overs
My daughter gets so frustrated with me too and I just know someday she will understand. IdC how much she may dislike me for it at the time.
Same. As a child I was frustrated that my Father would not let my sister and I alone with anyone but our Mother, period. There were no sleepovers, and on the rare occasions we visited friends my Mother had to come. I thought he was over protective and paranoid. Hearing these stories I wonder if he knew something or maybe he was abused some way. I totally get it now.
My mama was the same. I was never allowed to stay overnight at a friend’s house growing up in the 1960’s.
Same. My mom was SOOOOO overprotective. I hated it. But I'm a mom now. And I get it. I don't let anyone watch my kids except my mom.
The fact that this man says all of this without any emotion is a huge red flag. There is no rehabilitation for this evil.
I dont know. Maybe he's balled out crying too many times to count. You don't have to cry every time something gets brought up. It's the same when people talk about getting raped. They talk as if it never happened because they arealdy cried over it to many times to count, just because they don't cry on camera 20 years after it happened doesn't necessarily mean they are numb or without any emotion. It's not a drama tv show
@@Cheese_crackers But it’s not coming from the same place as a victim - this guy is the predator. Think about how difficult it is personally to talk about something wrong that you’ve done in the past and how emotional it makes you…it’s hard not to show some type of shame. This guy doesn’t show anything whatsoever. I just don’t see how people can be so evil to prey on children and speak about so matter of fact…it’s so wrong.
@user-vg1cn4if4x well as a victim, I was molested when I was younger, it confused me about my sexuality and etc. It made me ashamed and embarrassed and borderline suicidal. I remember wanting to kill myself over the confusion, the torment, I would cry when talking about it etc.... but as I got older I realized that I can't revolve my entire life around a situation that happened so many years ago. And even when I talk about it this day I can share with someone what happened to me when I was a child without any emotional attachment to it. Being molested isn't my identity, it's not who I am as a person. It was something that happened to me but it isn't "my world" .... life goes on. To this day when I do share it with someone for whatever reason It's not that big a deal.
It's as small as going to the beach and picking up one little grain of sand. That little grain is that situation that happened to me. But their are millions if not billions of other moments
It's a perpetual cycle of evil that destroys peoples lives - and you are extremely fortunate that it didn't break you. You were strong enough to put in behind you and to not let it define who you are - because it doesn't define who you are, not at all...unfortunately most folks can't do that. I just see the cycle and how it plants the seed in an innocent child to potentially grow into the same behavior, or worse. @@Cheese_crackers
Remember after jail and therapy this guy has sat in thousands of group meetings telling his story over and over. That's why he's using the plain terms and being clinical. It's the story he's been going through since 1986. He deserves to have spent the time in jail but how he acts in an interview won't tell much of anything about anything. If he's coming on here and showing his face to tell this story it says a lot more about what he's trying to do to be better.
I’m 10 minutes in and I haven’t heard an ounce of remorse or even ownership of his actions. Saying things like “it happened” and “things escalated”. No, you monster. YOU did it and YOU escalated things!
I hate when he said "can't change what's happened " total deflection .
Not defending him, but he actually took accountability for everything in all the right manners. It’s just the truth and it’s such a huge crime that even after 60 years of processing, it’s still super heavy to describe. Truth is healing.
@@AGameCharacteryeah, no. if the sex offender they interviewed, tracy, was able to cry and admit fault to everything she did without using tiptoe-terms- this old b.stard of a man can do it too
I almost fell out of my chair when he said he was a good father. Unbelievable
That's how you know he's not nor will he ever be, reformed/cured. Someone can not make changes if they don't see anything wrong with it to begin with.
He said that shit and my jaw dropped like what the fuck.. narcissism to the max.
@@carolinacaldera6209 he wasn't a good father... he was a GREAT father ...he taughter her the most important lessons in life: how to properly utilize her wee lil pleasure button that God Almighty gave her
So disgusting
@@jannananaa They are pure slime. and all the same. There is absolutely none that are ever safe. Full stop.
Notice how he said "intercourse", instead of saying it was "rape". That just shows you that he still doesn't see anything wrong with what he did. IT WAS RAPE, NOT INTERCOURSE. Disgusting!
Great point
Yup, and he also said 'one time' guarantee he raped children more than once
He probably said intercourse because it might have been consensual. She was still a kid, but we don’t know if she agreed to it or he just raped her, forced her. If wish Mark would ask him this question.
He also said it was just 2 yeah buddy cause you had your daughter with easy access to cause otherwise you would’ve found your victims in other places
@@orbitalpl1 you sound f*^****** dumb a child can’t agree it’s called fearing for your life or viewing it as normal you weirdo
Having been molested by my Mother until the age of Fourteen, this interview completely enrages me. My recently deceased mother never went to prison. She had a good life and died a multi-millionaire. People have no idea of how damaging this type of abuse is. Life is a daily struggle because of my mother. I wasn't anything but a piece of s**t to her. I'm still wondering if I'll ever see the $500 she left me in her will. If I do, I'll be sure to spend it on something she wouldn't approve of.
I truly do hope you heal, being abused is not easy especially by someone who is supposed to protect you and love you.
You deserve a safe space and to feel safe in all relationships.
YOU’RE ENOUGH AND IT WAS NEVER YOUR FAULT!!
Thats crazy. And it's sad that 95% of pedos aren't brought to justice, they fly under the radar and never have to pay for their Crimes. Sorry you went through that 😢
Sorry to hear that hopefully your story can help someone else
she will pay for her crimes. I hope you will believe that. karma is a real thing. I hope you will find peace.
I hope you find Jesus because he is truly the one and only that can heal I have gone through a similar situation and Jesus helped a lot and he can help you with the pain as well, give it a shot?💕
I don't understand why his wife didn't divorce him as soon as he was found to be sexually abuse his daughter and the neighbour so disgusting
My exact thoughts
True,...she must have also been a real dirtbag.
I don’t believe for one minute that he had only 2 victims
Seriously. He was only caught for the 2 he was sent to prison over. Also He was very cagey and coy about what he did as a young man to make him be sent to the military by a judge rather than to jail. He also said he is not sure if he was molested but he might have been? Okay buddy.
Only...? That's 2 lives affected, my man. That's a lot.
@@pleadthefifth Yea Mark allowed that to just slide by
@@partyishredhead you're misunderstanding... Usually they have a victim list as long as your arm.
I was thinking the same.
Two that he got caught for.
He talks about his daughter so casually with no remorse like it was just something he did no biggie, sickening.
Yeah there is no real sense of any shame in his voice. You can tell that he truly still believes he is a good person. It's astonishing
Humanity is sickening.
He really doesn't seem to have an ounce of remorse for his actions at all. He talks like it is just something that happens casually. Scary these 'people' are everywhere.
Yeah but if you think about it.. he has served his time.. don’t be so judgmental. You don’t know what he feels. Maybe he finally has peace and has made amends. No matter what, none of you are perfect. You have all done things you are not proud of. Will you let that stuff follow you around for life or with you forgive yourself once you have made amends?
@@gringagarbo7508 “You have all done things you aren’t proud of.” Sis, I’ve never molested a child. That is a whole different level of fucked up.
As someone who has a quite good understanding of human psychology. I can say that those who crossed that boundary of being abusive tend to continue abusing. There are those who manage to correct their behaviour, but it's not the norm. A paedophile can never stop being one, but he/she can choose to not abuse. It provokes me a lot when he said "I damaged my daughter for life, but despite molesting her I was a good father.". A good father would have gone to prison over men like him if necessary.
That is not true. A pedophile CAN eradicate that demon from their bloodline but it's not something the matrix has any knowledge of.
Yeah he clearly doesnt seem to regret what he did
You're on the right track, but shouldn't be speaking with the air of authority you're attempting to represent here.
Well said
They can’t stop being one, but they also can’t stop the abuse. They can’t decide not to engage, which is why they are so dangerous and need to be treated so harshly. It’s an impulsive, anti-social behavior that is inherently dangerous and not something we should ever trust them to control.
I just feel so sorry for his daughter and neighbor girl. God bless them both and continue to give them strength if they’re both still alive. This is so sad.
Zero sympathy for him. Anyone who does this deserves to be locked away forever.
yep. emotions out ot it, we just can't have them in society
Yes. No need for this thing.
Forever.
28:60 He said he was abused too.
I believe he is truly repented.
Totally agree he seems like he hasn't learned his lesson he's probably more cautious now 😡
I was 6 years old when a man molested me. He was my babysitter that was across the hall from where I had lived with my mom and her abusive boyfriend. She would have him watch me while she did drugs or went out. The things he said to me just seemed to make sense and at the time I didn't know what was happening was wrong. I am filled with shame and guilt every day even though I know I was too young to understand what he was doing. A few years later when I was around 12 or something I get pulled out of school thinking I did something bad lol. Turns out, some detectives wanted me to talk about what happened to me and that he was caught and had done it to 4 other children which were all older than me. I would tell them something very close to the truth, but while being filled with immense shame and guilt because I never did anything to stop it, because I really didn't understand what was happening, I told them I struggled and whatnot. He was imprisoned for like 35 to life and died very recently in prison. I thought his death was going to help me but in reality it made the thought of closure that much further away. I want to talk to him face to face and really understand what it was that made him that person to want to do such a thing to an innocent and undeserving child. These videos have been giving me very important insight into what could have motivated him to do these things. Anyways, I would like to add that my mom has fully recovered from drug abuse and we live together with my grandma. I never really blamed her for it because I understand that she feels sorry for what happened, but nonetheless, its hard to get over. I still live with the guilt and shame and never really open up to anyone about it. I hopefully will seek therapy in the future as I feel I am losing my mind..
(p.s the amount of anxiety before hitting the comment button is pretty high. But I feel like I needed to get this off of my chest one way or another.)
Heavy stuff brother. Hope you can find some semblance of peace soon! Cheers
You’re not alone. I think it’s amazing to be able to talk about it and normalize telling your story. You’re very brave.
Sending love, sorry you went through that and I hope you find someone kind to open up to about it as it is in no way your fault that it happened nor is it in any way your fault you didn’t know it was wrong of him, you were an innocent child.
Keep your head up brother. These demons are everywhere and it’s not your fault. The best thing you can do now is live the best possible life you can without shame. Try to do things that bring you peace and happiness. God bless
I'm so sorry this happen to you. We should have never been made to feel shame/guilt as we didn't do anything wrong. You can be free from that.. Please look up psychology today and research a good counselor. You can read all about the counselors and then have a free consultation on the phone to see if they are the right fit for you. I wish you all the best in your healing journey. There is light beyond the darkness.
As a sexual abuse survivor from my father …. I still sit & wonder does he even really acknowledge his actions & the pain he caused against me & my siblings …. Then I watch this & I feel like there’s no hope ….
It’s a compulsive disorder that never goes away. These offenders are mentally defective. You can’t ask for empathy from a person who has none.
❤
As I realize from here on out there is no justice on this side of heaven.. trust me I have gone thro this andnworse!! And now I live a life that I w8shed I never have lived... I don't trust anyone...
Proof that fellow prisoners don't take care of pedophiles in jail
From what I have heard from family members who have served time in prison, the pedos got hassled a bit but nowhere as bad as people think.
really...they should have gotten rid of him as soon as he entered.
Before I turn off commenting on today’s video (which seems likely) please understand why I do this sometimes. It’s not about protecting anyone or freedom of speech. It’s purely about the fact that particularly cruel comments hurt my ability to attract people to interview in the future. Please enjoy today’s upload and keep your commenting civilized.
These are very tough interviews. Nothing but respect for you.
I wish people would listen to you because unfortunately you have to repeat these things over and over again. Unfortunately a lot of people just don't get it
Thank you Mark for this interview! It was hard to listen to.
Understood
Certainly a tough one and fully understand the need to remind people about the comments. These are the harsh realities of life and we, the world need constant education. With people in Marshall's position it's not easy to remind ourselves that in many cases (not all) they were the child victim. A very sad and harmful perpetuating cycle. Keep up the good work Mark!
It makes my skin crawl when he says “I wish it never had to happen,” and when he calls it “sexual intercourse.” With your daughter, from age 6-14?! And her 9-yr-old friend? That is RAPE of a CHILD. There are many things in this interview that make it clear to me that he is not rehabilitated; he’s narcissistic, and all he wants is to get off probation. He does NOT seem “reformed” to me in any way. I see no remorse, no genuine empathy, and nothing but self-centeredness. Also, don’t let his age lull you into a sense of safety. This guy is 100% a danger to children. Old pedophiles hurt children all the time. He sidestepped the question re: whether he still has these desires. That’s because he does. He always will. He prefers children as much as a heterosexual woman prefers men. That’s what does it for him. I’m not trying to be cruel or to scare future interviewees. I’m just expressing my opinion, and calmly. It is my firm belief that pedophiles don’t change and that if they carry out pedophilic abuse on children, that they deserve the death penalty.
Atleast he is being honest. I respect him for that.
@@JuneGirl35 He’s trying to get off of probation. This is entirely self-serving and deserves absolutely ZERO respect. Please read my entire original comment to which you replied.
I agree
I agree! People like this read others well because they’re predictors seeking out prey. He can talk calmly because he has no emotions for others he is just saying exactly what he needs for his own self gain
Yea o agree I don't think he has reformed he is narcissistic
It always disturbs me when people commit terrible crimes and talk about them as "something that happened," as if those crimes were tornadoes or earthquakes they had no responsibility for.
That must have been traumatic for his daughter when she saw him at Walmart.
Worked at a retirement home that housed mostly mentally ill residents. One of the residents seemed like a kind man and easy to talk to and when I mentioned it to a coworker they told me he molested his daughters. The senior always mentioned his “lovely daughters” and how he missed them. Still gives me chills
😩😩😩
This is haunting...I wish I hadn't have read this. 😶
Fucking wild
OMGSH, Pedro, did we work in the same place in Florida? I had a resident (i'm a nurse) and he was a pedo who molested his daughters.... As much as I abhor Pedophilia, I still treated this sick being with respect. it's ingrained in me as a nurse... i can't bring myself to treat them other than human. But, I think to myself, if this had happen to me or my family, i would prob feel different and act different. as a nurse, i quit asking what my prisoner patients what they did so i could do my job
I work in a nursing home and I was just thinking about this. He looks like one of our residents that we would say is so nice. Scary!
I don't believe that he only had 2 victims. He took a while to answer and just simply said no.
Likely an access thing. Rapist who molest girls tend to have less victim than those interested in boys but the percentage of population is similar for both. Main reason is access. A male wrestling coach for boys has way more chances than a male wrestling coach for girls. People are gonna wonder about a male teacher or coach disciplining a female student alone in a room, less so than with a male student. Wanna protect kids it starts with these kind of access, not attacking LGBT+ education meant to help keep gay kids from being thrown at the street and exploited. Stuff like teachers should not be alone in a room with a kid, communication between teachers and students should be visible to entire departments and supervisors. Lots and lots of nuanced stuff like this that allows adults to help kids but not exploit kids. Lastly most important fathers be there for your kids, don't leave an emotional void a predator can exploit.
Me neither. One doesn't simply begin to act like that out of nowhere, this is something that takes some time to escalate. And you can tell he had plenty of experience by the way he described how he abused his neighbors' daughter
@@HassanZargari real talk💯 he is fooling no one
Yeah that felt like a lie for sure. Obviously he's not gonna admit to shit he didn't get caught for on camera. He doesn't even sound remorseful at all about the known cases. He had to pretend because he got caught.
@@HassanZargariespecially when he said " kids look up to adults" he is an expert groomer!
Thank you for posting this. I grew up in the 1960’s and 70’s and was sexually abused from the age of 2 through to 14. I also endured numerous sexual assaults and a rape in my 20’s and 30’s.
It was difficult to listen to this man speak… but I appreciate his willingness to speak candidly about what he did to children.
I have no idea how much true awareness he has, or how much awareness can ever be instilled in a pedophil, but I still believe that dialogue is important because what other option is there.
My heart goes out to those he molested.
i've had many SAs and rapes in my 20s as well. it's so many that i feel like if i told people IRL they wouldn't believe it. this world is ridiculous! and I'm not doing anything crazy, I'm not going home with strange men from bars, I'm not going out in public drunk, nothing like that that would make me extra likely to be a victim.
He raped not molested
My best friend was repeatedly molested as a child by his step father 40 years ago, back when people didn't talk about this very much. If you were a victim, many times you kept your mouth shut, because it seemed easier to just run away and keep it a secret. I hope the man in this interview understands that the hurt he caused will last for the entire lifetime of his victims. It never stops, and it never gets easier. The victims are broken for the rest of their entire life.
He doesn’t sound like he’s sorry. He just repeating what he feels like people wants to hear
It is so important to show these types of interviews, even if it makes us uncomfortable. We need to have these honest conversations as a society to truly understand how to address this problem and prevent other innocent lives being ruined.
Well said! The problem is not going to go away if we turn our backs or pretend it doesn’t exist.
Bury em. That's how, get his genes out of the pool and it will stop.
no. sick.
@@Cryaboutmyhandle these issues will never get solved with opinions like this
Absolutely. It’s easy to say “lock them up” or whatever, but clearly that does not solve the problem, and might actually make it worse.
Even in this interview he's in grooming mode.
The victims he mentioned (daughter and neighbor's child) likely aged out and he was no longer into those 2 particular victims. His grandchildren however......
😔😡
Thank you for posting this. More people need to see how predators blend in perfectly, and this is how they successfully hurt people for so long undetected.
The trusted family member, youth pastor, doctor, coach, teacher, the approachable, the charming.....
SNAKES UNABLE TO REHABILITATE!!! ALWAYS!!! IF THEY'RE EXPLAINING TO YOU HOW THEY'RE A CHANGED MAN, THEY'RE JUST GROOMING YOU TO TRUST THEM.
Always slithering.
Stay sharp. ❤
This makes me not want kids . My biggest fear is my children going through something traumatic like being molested
Just be careful around your kids and teach them what's inappropriate.
These predators need to be heard so we can better learn how to protect children.
Totally right about that
They need to be flayed immediately after the interview then.
No. No. No. protect your children and any other children at all cost.
And help make changes. These predators were once the prey themselves.
@@VioletJoy no excuse.
Most people don’t perpetuate the cycle of abuse (if all kids did, then every child would be abused within ~10 generations (someone did the maths)).
I was raised to always respect all the elders, but as I've gotten older, I realized criminals, narcissists and a**holes become old, too. Definitely understand parents not teaching their kids to obey authority just because they're "the authority".
Never taught the whole respect your elders bs to any of my three daughters . Being older doesn’t automatically make you respectful .
It doesn’t have to be an all or nothing policy. I think it makes for a much better society to teach respect for elders, while also making sure that your children know to avoid games like “guess what’s in your mouth”
I learned at a young age through experience that old men are just dangerous as young men.
@@SunnyMouseEars So many say how respectful my kids are but they’ve also been taught what to do in certain situations and how to deal with it. The whole world isn’t nasty and I don’t want my kids to treat others like they are when they’re are not. Usually not too hard to pick out most weirdos and we never let our kids around others by themselves.
Goes the opposite way too. Ted Bundy, Arthur Shawcross, Richard Ramirez etc were all cute little kids once.
No matter what he’s attracted to children, I hate that people are talking about forgiveness. He ruined childrens lives forever. His own daughter. Don’t forget how casually he talks about it. Sick
He isn’t asking for sympathy from anybody. He is showing awareness for what he is done. We expect people to be begging and pleading and hating themselves. That’s now always the case. His generation if he experienced sexual molestation, it was talked about. What you don’t know… doesn’t seem wrong. He did his time and learned and will continue learning about his illness.
I've lost count of how many people I've watched interviewed on here, who's lives have been ruined by someone exactly like this. Young and innocent souls lost forever 😔
I was too young to remember it, but the fear and shame still crawl up. I had night terrors so strong I’d harm myself. It happened through my childhood up until my late teens. I feel like I’d never have those nightmares in another life
@@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea 💜🌧🌦⛅️☀️🌈 I'm sorry. That's terrible. I wish you love.
I’m so unhappy when I read that these souls are lost forever. I wish to believe recovery is possible
@J C ❤️ yes you are 100% right. No one can take away your soul and hopes and dreams
The most bitter pill to swallow is that this man too, is also innocent. No one would chose to be a pedophile, they are sick spirits, abortions of nature, and reveal to us all that is fragile and corrupt-able in humanity. Every living creature is a victim of circumstance, for we inhabit a fleeting form, defenseless against the bizarre and unnatural whims of nature. It is pointless to wish for a better world, so instead let us strive to be stronger people. We should also learn not to demonize the mentally ill, because the hatred poisons us more than it could ever punish them.
Speaking as a "victim" of sexual assault from a family member as well.
When he asked him if there might’ve been other victims, the guy looked away as he answered “no”. That was a lie. Definitely more victims.
Agree ! I noted that too.
That's exactly what I was thinking too! You can tell right away just by looking at how his demeanor changed. And it took him a few seconds to answer the question too. Fucking sick.
@@katherineweate9339 !⁰
Agree. That was a lie… if he isnt willing to come fully clean he still has the disease and shouldn’t be released. Being sexually abused as a child destroys a life. It is like releasing a murderer who isnt rehabilitated
Sick F@$#
If you're in your 40s and didn't previously know that empathy is important, you don't have empathy
but/and you don't have to have empathy to be a good person. i know for a fact i have almost no empathy. but i'm not out raping people. i just do my STEM job alone and mind my business and my partner is someone else with very low empathy so we explain everything to eachother manually and just make deals on how we want to treat eachother and be treated.
I was sexually abused by my father between the ages of 5 and 11. I'm 61 years old now. Because of the abuse, I struggled throughout much of my life. Now I am finally happy and content. I think he stopped because he could see that I was getting old enough to realize that this was not normal and he became afraid. After age eleven, I just pretended like nothing ever happened because of the shame and the lack of resources available back then. We continued on as a 'normal' family. Eventually I revealed what had happened to my family and friends (I was 29, married and had three young sons at that time and could not stand the inner struggles any longer.) He did not deny it and everyone believed me. I was torn about doing this because I knew it would throw our whole family off kilter and devastate my mother. Unfortunately, that is what happened. I then decided not to see or speak with my father any longer. This went on for ten years. Then my brother became quite ill and lived at my parents' home, so I decided that I would put up with being around my father for his sake. Eventually, my father became elderly, sick with cancer and had to live the end of his life mostly unaware of what was going on around him because of the pain medication. I made him smoothies since he had a hard time eating solid food and I went to that facility several days a week to help him drink his smoothie and just sit with him until he died. I witnessed this once, strong intelligent person become a frail, helpless, suffering creature. I told him I forgave him and that he was free to go and shortly after that he took his last breath.
Here's what I know. People who do this don't decide one day to become pedophiles. There is a significant disturbance, for whatever reason, in the brain of such a person. My father was one of eleven children. Who knows what happened to him during his childhood or what chemical imbalances he had. In other words, the people we want to hate are people we would be better off trying to understand. In that way, we can begin to put a stop to acts of abuse and violence. It is very difficult for any of us to have compassion for this type of illness, just as it's difficult for us to have compassion for serial killers or murderers or any other type of person who commits an unspeakable act. But if we are to move forward and become better humans, we have to try. We need to say as a society, if you are having feelings like this, if you are compelled to do things, you know are wrong, there is a place you can go and people who will help you to overcome it or at least help to find you a situation where you can not act on your impulses. Not only do they have to be better but WE have to be better as well.
I feel soooo hurt for his child. I hope she’s found healing from the destruction he’s brought into her life
No child or victim finds healing. We think about it falling asleep. And think about it waking up. It hurts. To not be “normal”
We deal with it. But never get over it. It’s a hard thing to explain. As a
Sexual assault, rape, molestation victim I can only say to protect your babies. In a way my own mother didn’t protect me
@mindfulness223 that comment sounds kinda rude. Obviously not everyone’s journey is the same but regardless I can still wish/hope healing upon those who have endured traumatic occurrences.
She's probably in another video of these.
Well news flash, THERE IS NO FUCKING HEALING FROM THAT TRAUMA, it sticks with them… it never truly goes away… those memories will forever haunt them no matter what they do to erase that part of their lives because it just replays in their minds over and over… people who went through that as a child, don’t know how to heal….
A great reminder that molesters often look and sound like absolutely sane and innocent people. The epitome of absolute evil in my opinion.
We are in a sad world but I actually tell my children this at least once a year we go over the fact that people who hurt kids are usually really good at being friends with other grown ups so even if it's a friend I need to know because I need to know if someone I trust is bad. Also I routinely tell them that when I say "listen to....(the grown up in charge)" I don't mean if it's something bad (we cover what bad is including hitting and what not and anything involving privates)
The fact that this man used his authority as a grown up to assault children😢
A great reminder that people pretending to be protectors are really the other neccesary part of continuation of the cycle. The absolute epitome of disassociative delusion in my opinion.
Serial killers too
@@nomercy5422 this man doesn't sound entirely innocent or sane neither does any killer I've heard speak. There is what people say, what we want to hear and then usually the most important part. What is not being said. Serial killers like most manipulators, murderous or not, redirect and rarely answer the actual question asked.
@@maebandy Just like when they asked if he got molested and he said he don't remember but I think I did lol
I worked with this type of offender for years, the one thing I can say about him is he’s openly saying that it was his fault and poor choices. Many clients did not take the blame and victim blaming was rife within the system.
‘I think I’m reformed’ That’s telling. My daughter passed me by in Walmart with my granddaughter. Good for her.
As a father of two girls, HOW!? How could you do that to your own child!? How could you do that to any child? This man is beyond broken. Personally, I think he should be incarcerated the rest of his life. But if he has to be out, I hope they monitor this man extensively
Demons dude they are everywhere just like rats
Yeah, I'll never understand how someone could do what this man did. I personally think we should give people like him the choice between 2 options.
1) forever sleep with a rope necklace .
Or
2) they are given to a medical research facility where medical experimentation will be performed in order to advance medical science.
They may or may not survive the medical experimentation but they will never be allowed to leave.
At least with the second option some good would come from their existence.
@@TruthIsTheNewHate84 see this is why people like you aren't in charge of policy. fuckin psycho
He had an attraction to children, plus limited impulse control and you don't. People like him should not have children in the first place.
Most likely he was reckless and a charmer as a youth. What was that saying.. Yolo, you only live once. So he took chances regardless of the consequences
I was molested at eleven years old. I’m 59 now. I have to completely wrap my head in a towel at bedtime to be able to sleep. I have no idea even today, the purpose this serves; but I feel it has something to do with it. Once you’re touched like ‘that’ you’re never the same -and will never be the same again.
im so sorry that happened to you. may you find peace. xx
People just don’t get it.
This breaks my heart.. I really hope you find peace one day ❤️
Heart breaks for you. So sorry for what you went through. Praying for you.
So sorry ❤😞 Stay strong
I was getting really frustrated that he was so nonchalant about his crimes. I was really pleased to hear the interviewer point out he left a path of destruction. He ruined many lives.
he should’ve gotten life in prison. do these judges not understand the lifelong effects of grooming, molestation, or even in his case RAPE??? l can’t even imagine. Lifelong trauma = life sentence
*every child deserves parents, but not every parent deserves a child*
Doesn't matter how sorry he is or reformed he is. He took 2 little children's Innocence in the worst way possible and caused a lifetime of trauma and pain.
Probably more than two as well.
@@amberkierramurder as well

@@amberkierra Agreed. He hesitated abit when Mark asked him if there were other victims but he most likely said no to save himself from getting in trouble again.

He has no shame in the hurt he's caused. Thanks to him, these people probably now have a hard time in their life 😔
Mark, I've been going enjoying many of your interviews and have just watched this one. Everyone has a story to tell, whether it's good or bad, courageous or horrendous. You deserve full credit for your ability to contact and engage with people in order to have them tell their stories. All these stories are related to people. People in our society. No need to leave hateful comments. Thank you for bringing these stories to us all.
People please tell your children that nobody should be touching them anywhere in their privates or rubbing on their thighs. This is how these people start to groom or if they knock on the door and grandpa comes I’ll come in for a cookie that’s what happened to me.! seven years old unbelievable, Rubby dubbie no one to course but it’s still a trauma! I was born in 1963 your parents never told you anything about this. I told my kids from the time that they were five-year-old that nobody should be touching their privates not me not father not the doctors nobody! I guess that’s the only good that came from the bad things that have happened to me is that I knew I had to tell my children about this and protect them
I've seen many times child sex offenders get probation and shorter sentences than people stealing cars or selling weed it makes me sick. In my opinion all child molesters should get life and do life.
He took away 2 little girls innocence… one of them being his own daughter..he should still be behind bars.
Speaking from a victim’s perspective I think he is a brave man. I never received such an apology from my father. It is beyond wrong but it happens and to be this open about it is admirable in my opinion.
Your ability to listen to these people and create a judgment free zone is amazing (even that is an understatement). I just..I wouldn’t be able to do it.
You ain't gonna see this on vice. This is wild, and I think any parents watching this should see it as a warning, keep an eye on your kids and don't trust someone just because they're soft-spoken and polite.
People just learning that from a UA-cam video should have aborted
in 2019 there was only like 250~ kidnappings that happened at random. 99% of them the person is related or knows the other. Though not as extreme, i imagine child rape is similar.
You ain't gonna see this on Vice nor Fox News!
Well said!
And don't trust bc the person is a caring individual, as he says he his. Anyone is capable
As a dad to daughters and now a granddad to granddaughters I will never understand how a father can look at your own child or any child and want to do horrible things to them. Smh
I do 😛
Just like a duck raised by ducks could never attach to a pelican. But a duck raised by a pelican can never be accepted again by the flock. There are stages of human development that imprint on us for life. And those that are most beneficial or damaging occur at an age that most will never even remember., much less understand. It's only through these insightful interviews that we have a chance of keeping the flock together. It isn't enough to only keep an eye on your little birds, you have to try and protect and lead others.

@@JuneGirl35 not you again.
I’ve always found this to be very sad, interesting and complicated, but I am glad you’ve chosen to do this interview because we need to know why someone does something. I’m not sure that someone could be fully rehabilitated because I do think their brains are wired very differently from the rest of society. I once watched a documentary on a man who was attracted to children, but had never acted on it, and he was talking about his fears of doing something with a child, but having no where to go, and no one to turn to because you are automatically shunned from society. It really made me think about something I never thought of which was where does someone get help before they have committed a sexual crime? Do you have to be a sex offender to be able to go into these treatment centers or could you just be someone who has the thoughts? We really need to have more of these conversations. Also how can we pinpoint these things at an early age? Is there a sign when maybe they have never been victims of sexual abuse themselves? How does one become pedophile? We need to have compassion for both victim and predator as crazy as that sounds. Although he raped his daughter and sexually assaulted his neighbor, I will give him one credit, which is the fact that he came on here, and the fact that he has been open and honest with his neighbors. That gives me hope that maybe he won’t reoffend. God bless his victims. I hope and pray they have found healing ❤
Love your comment. Hurt people hurt people. Very few who have not been hurt hurt others.
Almost all pedophiles are themselves victims of molestation. It’s a chain of abuse. Often men choose children at the age they were abused. It would be good to get people with these problems away from the general population. In the past men could choose the priesthood thinking it would keep them on the straight and narrow but unfortunately we know how that turned out.
I agree, very wise words❤️ There are so many layers to this complicated topic and I sometimes wonder if people’s judgement and hate gets in the way of stopping the abusers before they act. They know that the moment they express their thoughts all hell breaks loose so they keep to themselves and become ticking time bombs.
His daughters sound like amazing young women; To have that level of empathy to write him and share their lives even a little, considering everything that happened, is truly remarkable.
no way do i believe there are only 2 victims.
Absolutely agree.
Yup, he said he has 2 daughters, most likely molested BOTH plus the neighbor!
Yeah, no way.
agree 100%
That's a huge red flag, just two. Not buying it. Everything he's saying is just for show. Perhaps his other victims see him on this video and speak up. Maybe they'll want to talk to Mark.
I just see a chomo psychopath.
At six years old, I was abducted by an older man in broad daylight at a shopping center. I was dragged behind the shopping center and molested. They never caught the man. Fifty years later, I remember every detail like it was yesterday. It was so traumatizing.
So sorry!
it's never ok and we never see the world or people the same, nor trust ,men OR women...spending our whole lives protecting children and being suspicious.
Humanity must change
I hope you're able to seek help to heal from that horrible moment in your life. You deserve to he made whole. ❤
I pray for your health and well-being. God bless 🙌🏿 🙏🏿 ❤️
I’m sorry you went trough that you are strong surviver and god will always be with you
That man will get his karma
please explain it in detail. for educational purposes ;)
SoftWhiteUnderbelly Thank you so much for doing these interviews. Watching your videos has truly opened my eyes and more than that, they have all been a lesson in compassion for me. I know that many have zero tolerance and at one time I would have been triggered, even traumatized by this content, however, the only way forward is to, at the very least, take the family members into consideration before expressing fantasies about being the executioner. I truly appreciate your approach to not add your opinions or to exact judgement upon those that you interview. The content provides an opportunity for each one of us. I wish you all the best, now and always.
This man will will 100% do this again. He is not rehabilitated. He seems remorseful but does not understand what he did to to these children. This is an interview about him not to give any type of justice or remorse.
Had a friend some 20+ years back that had a husband that molested their 2 daughters. I will never forget how it completely destroyed her and her daughters lives. It was devastating. She had to change their identites and move out of state, due to high profile case. I often wonder how they are. I pray they are OK. Breaks my heart to this day. He is still in prison.
If society is like this comment section, they are not good. People don't come into this world expecting lives free from pain. They do however have rightful expectation to have others respond to it with nurture. If people are so reviled by these conversations instead of trying to understand and solve the root illness, it's like making chemotherapy patients feel like the cancer inside them is less poisonous than the cure.
Imagine the shame that you married a guy who's capable off something like that and you didn't see any sings. I would doubt myself so much in the future.
@@maebandy the comment section is criticizing the interviewee because he skirted several questions, shows absolutely no remorse, and came off cold and calculating.
@@maebandy Please don't bring cancer into this, it's uncalled for and it's false equivalence. Not the same type of diseases and situations.
@@HiGlowie Which is really interesting because I think unreformed pedophiles or sociopaths would put on a big show of emotions to manipulate their audience, and they'd fool the very people who are determined not to be fooled
This is why it is SO CRITICALLY IMPORTANT to teach your children physical boundaries, their rights to their own bodies and the right to say "NO" when someone (even an adult) wants physical affection, regardless of how innocent the affection is. We can't always predict who will prey on our children but we can teach our children to speak out or walk away when someone is targeting them.
Easier said than done. When adults are the ones in power - physically, verbally, & mentally, those things don't matter. These people are also master manipulators. Even adult-on-adult sexual assault happens for this reason. That education is still important, but we can't dismiss the other key things at play with the predators themselves & society.
Honest question, how do you actually teach that? At what age should you start? I'm genuinely curious how a parent should approach this subject, specially concerning people kids should trust, like family members and teachers. I feel there's a thin line between making your children wary and causing them unintentional emotional damage.
@@HassanZargari It's not really about teaching them to be wary but teaching them that it's ok to say "no" to anything that makes them uncomfortable and, as a parent/adult, respecting that decision. In this way they can understand their own autonomy and boundaries so that if someone does happen to cross that boundary, they know something isn't right and they feel the need to call it out. Kids will let you know they don't want physical touch/affection and I believe it's important that we respect them when they don't want to be touched.
For example, my kid (1yr) is not a cuddler, so when I give hugs, kisses, etc. and she pushes me away, I don't continue and force the affection. And I make sure grandparents follow this as well. Whenever she's meeting new family, I don't just pass her off to whoever wants to hold her because I know my child is more comfortable getting to know the new person first before allowing them to touch/hold her and there's nothing wrong with that.
Every child is different but each one does have their own set of boundaries and we shouldn't disregard those just because we're the adult and they're the child.
@@citychicken9949 Thank you for replying. I guess it's about raising them to be confident and to trust their instincts, rather than literally teaching them about sexual predators. You sound like a great parent btw.
@@HassanZargari Omg, thank you so much for your kind words. It seriously made my day ❤. I wish you well and dont let anyone taint your kind spirit 😊
Everything is about him and what a good person he is. He didn't care about his daughter then and he still doesn't care about her. He's a narcissist.
Fuck dude, that video of Tracy is so heart wrenching. I really hope she’s doing better. My feelings are so conflicted on her video and situation because she did one of the most terrible things a human can, but knows it was horrible, doesn’t make excuses, and she has suffered through so so so much… Even sharing her story in hopes it will prevent further suffering like hers. It really shows that these things aren’t black and white. I’m happy her son is breaking the cycle and that they are able to be in touch now that she’s medicated and sober. I broke down crying when you hugged her at the end.
The manipulation in this man still exists. You can hear it with how casually he says some of the horrible things he did. And how his face stays the same emotion through the interview. He is really good at making himself seem like he is cured of his sickness. Really sad.
Yeah. The fact that he’s not in prison AND gets this sort of exposure fame here is insane
@@Alex-ns9wk I don't believe he receives any ''fame'' from it, and that was not the intent of the interviewer to give his subjects fame or notoriety
maybe infamous but def not fame@@Alex-ns9wk
Calling his daughters "the victims" to distance himself from the monstrosity of his actions speaks volumes of how remorseful he ISN'T
"the neighbor girl was 9; my daughter started at 6" not "I started on her at 6"
like she started coming on to him at 6.
we put rabid animals down; not all diseases are curable
I have never seen anyone so devoid of emotion before in my life - describing these things without any expression whatsoever - it’s chilling.
i was thinking the same thing!!! like he tells this like we sippin tea on a big as$ boat
I agree.. no remorse. So rehearsed
Absolutely not the slightest bit reformed! Makes me LIVID
The man had a lot of time in prison to think about what he had done, and the consequences that still affect him and what he once had as a family. I hope his daughters have the chance to forgive him for their own sake and I hope he repents his for his sins before his death.
This is the behaviour of psychopaths. My father exudes the very same personality trait and he's textbook definition psychopath. Never really knew emotions and feelings but very good at mimicking emotions to appear normal in society.
I've been waiting for these interviews after I heard you on the Koncrete podcast. I know these interviews are hard to hear, but...listen and learn. Thanks Mark.
You're always respectful and I appreciate that as your audience because I think it makes for a better interview when no one is hostile. I think you being respectful makes it easier for people to be honest.
It's interesting how at 11:39 he completed avoided the question, and even after the interviewer specifically said "Beside the treatment, how have your thoughts changed?" he still went back to talking about how good that treatment center he went to. He's just trying to get off parole, he hasn't changed as a person, and I'm concerned he's still sexually abusing young girls due to the lack of empathy when he talks about what he did.
exactly
When he said, “Since getting out of prison, I TRIED to be a good person.” I got chills and thought, “OMG he did it to someone else, didn’t he…” just a weird thing to say tried to be instead of “I have been a good person.”
There is no fixing a pedophile anymore than you can fix a rabid dog.
The sooner people realize these animals are more alike than they are different, the sooner children can be saved from the barbarism.
@@lu7609i believe he did. Or maybe they should check his laptop. I believe he thinks its ok What he did to his daughter. He doesn't seem remorseful at all. If he could hurt a child again without being caught he would! He can never be cured. Hes sick.
This exact thing happened to me as a young girl. I always wondered why my father who was supposed to protect me violated me worse than anyone ever has. I now realize things I thought I'd never understand. Thank you Mark for all your hard work and sharing it with the world!

How has life been for you since the abuse?
That is horrendous but with a name like "ladyluck" I'm guessing you are an optimist more than a pessimist.

@@brandirenehernandez4885 It absolutely does.
Thank you, Mark. I never would have taken the time to even listen to a man like this. No excuses for his behavior but I am learning. Structure is everything growing up. This is heartbreaking in so many aspects. I appreicate how you treat everyone the same with respect regardless of who they are. We have to be willing to understand to fix these problems.
Thank you for this comment, I didn't know how to express what I felt about the video and you said it perfectly.
His words “I’m trying to be a better person, I think I did a pretty good job”
UNBELIEVABLE
Trust no one around your children. Do you see how trustworthy he looks like? He is caring, helpful and this is not because he changed due to therapy. He was always like that. His caring attitude helped him to lure his victims.

This man is relatively intelligent and eloquent. I'm convinced he always knew he was doing wrong. He absolutely didn't make that realisation after therapy. I wouldn't trust this man as far as I could throw him.
He is mentally ill. Makes me nauseous
Prison gives people alot of time to brush up on their education. On another note, I see this sentiment alot here, but most of the people speaking aren't necessarily highly articulated in their verbal communication. I suppose most of us are more adjusted to casual slang and informal speech patterns as opposed to semi-formal speech in their day to day lives though. Being "well spoken" isn't necessarily indicative of high intelligence on its own, it's just proof of a basic high-school education
@@Chudchanning Agreed. He's not a rocket scientist but he's scum for sure.
Eloquent is not a word I would use to describe this monster.
Intelligent ? He sounds like a dumb fuck lol
These people should never see the light of day again. There is no humanising a monster.
Real creep!!!
I agree
The one upside is these scumbags get treated like shit (rightfully so) by all the other inmates in jail :)
Agree
He is still human. This issue has to be understood and then prevented a not hated and demonized. All that hate cause that this kind of person will never ask anybody for help and they will eventually ofend somebody....because it is rather. Scary to tell anyone about this...
Was his first offense before the military a sex crime? Also, he doesn't think he did anything wrong. And I'm sure there other victims.
ITS HOW CALM HE IS GOING OVER THIS AS IF ITS NOTHING. WHILE THOSE POOR KIDS ARE PROBABLY RUINED
When his daughter saw him in the store after all these years with her own daughter now😳...must've messed her up all over again...disgusting man. Full of lies.

Helps us to protect our children better by knowing some of the ways they get away with it.
Surprised she didn’t grab a hammer off the nearest shelf and aim for his noggin
No disrespect but as a Mother I would not ask the man that molested my daughter for permission to divorce him
He wants to share the blame in any way, we don't know what was happening by other side. His wife was not there to tell.
I think he has to sign the papers, not like you can divorce a person without their participation. Idk how it works if one is in prison. So she needed to ask him to sign the papers. Ask, demand, tell... He just wanted to sound like the good guy saying he allowed her to marry another.
@@MuMu-fu7qe I thought that if you were estranged for 5 years or more you could file without signing
And also it could be ordered in these kinds of situations
She stayed with him for years after and didn't ask for divorce until she met someone new. Nuts
Thank you for giving the opportunity to share his story and share with others the dark side of the world that people do not shed light on. We need to be aware that offenders are all around us, to know
It’s important that we are knowledgeable about those who have been convicted of such heinous crimes and if they are able to recover, or if they are forever a lost cause.
Of course it can go both ways, and less are likely to recover without intensive therapy and willingness to acknowledge the evil acts that were committed. I was molested as a kid, and I often think about my offenders and what they thought about, if they felt shame, and if it was something they remember. I pray for myself and everyone who’s been taken advantage of and stripped from innocence at a very young age. I am still seeking therapy because I feel sick to my stomach at least once a day about being sexually offended as a kid by people I trusted.

It's interesting to me how people like Marshall can't fully look at what they've done. It's always about how their heinous acts have affected them and not their victims. I appreciate the interview.
You can’t teach empathy.
Hurt people hurt people.
I am a SA survivor, I can assure you never once in my entire life could I even fathom the thought of ever subjecting anyone to that horrific pain. There is NO excuse, EVER. There is something very wrong with you if you sympathize with p3dos. Think about the lives he destroyed forever.
^ Replying that to the guy above
@@rockgod2131 Unfortunately, that's true sometimes but not always the case. There are true psychopaths in the world who don't care. Even at the narcissistic level, these people have no ability to care for others or atone for the hurt they have caused. I feel like that phrase is overused without looking into the true origins of lack of empathy in this world.
I will NEVER comprehend how a FATHER (or mother) can look at their child or ANY child in a sexual manner.... THIS IS YOUR creation, an innocent child you are supposed to protect, a part of YOU. How can you destroy them this way. An abomination of a human. I hope that all his days in prison were as painful and dark as he made his precious childs life with him. He should have never been released.
I advise parents not to allow a man or young male around their kids unattended. Hormones overrule any logic and never say it won't happen to your child.
Blows my mind that people like that can get out sooner for "good behavior "... Yea! There's NO children for him in there to victimize
Any person can get out on "good behavior" in Florida you only have to do 85% if your good no matter the crime
I was molested by my father. This one was hard to listen to without the anger, guilt, shame, sadness, etc seeping through. Thank you Mark, so much!

This might sound cliche but I truly am sorry that you had to go through that. A father is supposed to protect his kid/s and for him to hurt them is just something that i don't understand.
So sorry x

This interview is very profound and Im very glad that althought the sad and violent perspective, the aware of this man now its a little light in the world for the people that have such a complex dark impulses. We have to walk with faith that the human being can evolve in your experience and counsciesness. Thank you for your job its beautiful all the histories that you give voice and its important to us like a one-big-society develop the strengh enough to listen this people and accept that is a hidden part of the complex animal that we are, I really think that avoid, ignore, judge this histories are not the solution. Blessed be!
People will do whatever they think they can get away with. People like him don't change. They learn how to act.
I think Mark made a great point of the diminished libido being a main factor as to why he didnt reoffend, not to mention the face there are no young girls in prison... I have to say I wasnt filled with a great deal of confidence when Mark asked whether there were any other victims.... the hesitation there...
There were his sisters too.
Yeah his hesitation was damning.
The way he described knowing that "kids will do what adults tell them" makes me pretty certain he's offended more times than he's saying.
@@thealiceuh or he knows that just based on observing child behaviour...
can you guys tell me what time Mark asked about other victims please? my adhd brain listened to the interview three times and still can't notice it. also english isn't my first language
Not all monsters look scary. They look like people we automatically trust. This just goes to show, no one can be trusted even the ones who look "normal". Just because some looks like a sweet old grandpa doesn't mean he isn't a monster.
Honestly, this interview made me feel physically ill. I have an extensive history of being sexually abused; one of those abusers being my maternal grandfather. I was barely 2.
And I wasn’t the only child in the family that it happened to, but I was the youngest. Young enough to where he couldn’t persuade me to not tell, so that’s exactly what I did.
Unfortunately, he never faced legal ramifications and the majority of that side of the family believed him to be a kind, caring, upstanding man. They even included myself and my two children in his obituary when he died.
Absolutely mind boggling, the length people will go to to excuse the actions of an abuser.
I don’t know how it’s possible to separate yourself from what you’ve done. His ‘past’ life, and his present life? You can’t get away with that.
I feel so incredibly sorry for those poor girls. They don’t quite so easily get to not have a ‘past’ life.
Sexual abuse of a child should be a minimum mandatory death penalty... blows my mind that isn't the case.
Then no one would ever get convicted.
Hell, these cases are very difficult to convict by their very nature, even under the current penalties.
It takes a lot for a court of law to declare that beyond all reasonable doubt an individual is guilty of a crime in cases where there isn't hard evidence like footage, paper trails, physical *proof* of the commission of a crime.
Death row is an endless and incredibly expensive series of appeals, delays, etc.
And you know what happens when barely anyone gets convicted (because the standard of evidence in capital cases is so high)?
*People stop reporting it to authorities at all.* Why would they?
If you were a victim of such abuse, why would you go through the time consuming, excruciating, re-traumatising and potentially expensive process of a trail if there's a 99% chance of them walking scott free?
I mean *so* many people already don't report these offenses - most, in the US at least - because they don't see hope in it. Because the cases are hard to prove, and because normally they just want to move on with their lives, rather than investing such a huge amount of their time, energy, and possibly money on something related to their sexual trauma.
I get how it's cathartic to say stuff like this, but in reality it would just lead to even more sex offenders on the streets.
And *I'm not even even saying that it would be wrong to kill them all* - that's not the argument I'm making.
I'm just telling you that this isn't how reality works, and that it's impossible to quickly and easily dispense justice every single time.
These people make me sick too though. It's just that there needs to be a realistic solution for what to do with them if you really want to stop kids from being abused.
