Pedophile

[Music] hello I'm Robert Fuller the title of this film pedophile comes from two Greek words meaning child and love now maybe that sounds pretty innocent because all of us like kids but the word pedophile actually means child molester a sick and dangerous man everyone from high school will age up should know something about the types of people that are molesters all of us should know something about their methods of operation that's why this film was made if it helps to save even one child then its purpose will be accomplished [Music] Cynthia called Genie and asked her to come home for me will you Jesus is not with us Mrs Baker oh do you know where she is I haven't seen her since school I think she went to the park with Sandy Martin the park okay thanks if either of you see Jenny will you send her home please dinner's almost ready we will you're sure Sandy you're sure she started home right when you did no no I'm sure everything's all right she must have just gotten sidetracked bye [Music] Kenny Baker Kenny Baker your mother wants you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] you have to come home now dinner's getting cold beanie is that you in there no significant evidence was found at the scene of the crime Mrs Baker had moved Genie to a more comfortable place and had gathered up a few of her daughters scattered belongings before the ambulance or the police arrived this was natural maternal Behavior but it eliminated any chance that the police could get a lead to the attacker from evidence at the scene the genie Baker case was assigned a lieutenant Jack Lacy and officer Bill Perkins Lieutenant Lacey had 12 years experience with cases of child molestation officer Perkins had been a detective just over a month still on the critical list it sure would help if we could find out if Gina knows who did this to her no chance she was semi comatose when they brought her in when will we get a chance to talk to her at this point I really don't know it could be several days before she comes out of it Mrs Baker was under sedation and sleeping Mr Baker could add little to what was already known well there's the coals down the street and the steins and the Murphys their kids go to the same school as she then there's the washbirds and Mr Franco well Mr Franco who's he well he's Mrs washburn's father all the kids in the neighborhood know him he's always fixing their bikes and toys and things oh I see uh and what about the stores in most cases child molesters and their victims know each other well flow in the absence of evidence to the contrary the experienced policeman begins his investigation with the people closest to the victim and works outward the announced purpose of the questioning is to discover of any suspicious persons have been seen in the company of the victim or other children but it allows the officers to evaluate these people whose characteristics or habits arouse their interest and to do it without casting suspicion on innocent persons after a thorough investigation Lacey and Perkins felt that three people should be checked out more fully there's this one guy that comes here almost every afternoon the thing is he's obviously a homosexual you'll have to know what his name is do you no I don't you don't try anything over here so I can't chase him out the practicing homosexual is usually attracted to adolescent boys and young men but it is not uncommon for some homosexuals to seek out pre-adolescent boys or girls homosexual molesters are interested in young pre-pubital children preferably but not necessarily male frequently the homosexual molester has himself been the victim of a molester when he was a child other homosexuals turned to the very young because children this age haven't yet developed the secondary sex characteristics which they find is stable young children have no pubic hair no breasts their voices are still alive and their body still so since they're young and inexperienced they can't dominate the Molester the man thinks of them or even make unflattering comparisons the homosexual adult can feel safe with them even Superior to them this feeling of being able to be somebody is what leads many homosexuals to prefer children of either sex to adults this possibility LED Lacey and Perkins to talk to the man the park supervisor pointed out to them but they discovered that whatever else he was this man's orientation was definitely toward adults Mr Franco was the Neighborhood Mr Fixit in fact helping kids seem to be Mr Franco's main pleasure in life this was what aroused the officer's interest foreign age of the child molester is only 38. still there are plenty of incidents involving older men and there are many reasons why an older man might turn to children for sexual gratification often he's lonely a widower perhaps he's retired from his job and his children are grown and have lives of Their Own he feels there's nothing of any real importance for him to do and that nobody cares about it at first he might turn to Children mainly for the attention and affection he doesn't or can't get from adults this by itself of course doesn't make an old man a molester other factors are necessary aging itself disease alcohol can all contribute to an older person's mental deterioration his judgment weakens and social Customs including sexual taboos become blur thank you then a senile man can enter his second childhood he literally begins to think of himself as a child again so to him it's logical to seek out other children for companionship and for sexual gratification the senile molester can even be the Neighborhood Mr Fixit the man who keeps all the children's toys repaired looks like the kids keep people do but I get a kick out of it gives me something to do by the way how's uh Little Genie coming along well she's still in the hospital but the doctor says she's making progress well that's that's great what a horrible thing to have happen to her have you found the man that did it we're still investigating Mr Franco and we thought you might be able to help us well I like Google what can I do well have you seen anyone in the neighborhood that might have aroused you suspicions or maybe some of the kids may have mentioned something well nothing comes to mind off hand but let me think it soon became obvious to Lacey and Perkins that although John Franco is showing a few signs of advancing age he was just what he appeared to be a nice old remain Willie Stokes intelligence level was that of a middle grade [ __ ] yet he was able to do a credible job of cleaning up around the station unfortunately mentally defective people are one of the most common types of child molesters since Jeannie Baker always walked past the station on her way to and from school the officers wanted to find out more about Willie but most mentally defective people who are not in an institution managed to live within society's accepted limits many even lead relatively productive lives Lacey and Perkins soon learned that Willie Stokes was one of these his first one day passed and then another pressure on the police mounted as Lacey well knew no other crime so quickly unites a neighborhood in anger and fear as child molestation does you've been telling us what you're doing to protect us from whoever did this but isn't there anything that we can do to help protect ourselves I mean you can't be everywhere no ma'am we can't the most important thing that you can do is teach your children some basic rules not to enter a stranger's home or garage to keep away from strangers and Automobiles especially if they ask directions or offer a ride to get the license number the description of the car and the driver if an offense is attempted not to leave the school a playground or the movies with the stranger not to accept candy cookies money or other gifts from strangers and not to allow them to touch their clothing these are some of the most important rules I'm sure that you've told your children this before but it's advisable to go over with them once in a while telephone Lieutenant thanks excuse me that's right Lieutenant she's definitely out of danger the doctor says we could talk to it tomorrow morning yes it was on right I'll set it up with her parents right okay so now the most important thing you can tell us Cheney is whether you know the man who hurts you no did you ever see him before no okay Genie why don't you just tell us what happened right from the beginning [Music] yeah lady you haven't seen a little dog around here have you what kind of dog a little black cocker spaniel he's just a puppy no why did you lose him he slept his leash while I was taking him for a walk say maybe if you help me we could find him I can't I'm late for dinner already wait a minute see the dog belongs to my little daughter she's only seven and she's very sick in bed the dogs are only Playmate if I lose some children just be heartbroken now couldn't help me for just 10 minutes I know your mom and dad would be very pleased if you can help me find it well okay just for 10 minutes though what's his name Benji his name is Benji G told the officers that when they didn't see the dog in The Lawns they began looking in the Shrubbery after a few minutes the man suggested they sit down to rest he began telling Genie how nice she was to help him and what a pretty little girl she was then he put his arms around her and kissed her because she was so sweet after that he kept touching her and kissing her Jeannie knew something was wrong and tried to leave instead of stopping the man pulled her down and began touching her down there she screamed and tried to break away that's when he started hitting her you know on the way the girl was lucky are you crazy well not as lucky as most kids but it sure could have been a lot worse what do you mean physically it's you'll heal up pretty fast but most molested kids don't get hurt the way she did usually it's a few remarks pat on the fanny a kiss maybe some fondling but don't you see what that does to their minds sure I do I've seen kids that have read about her both our minds and their bodies you name it I've seen torn rectums torn vaginas oh it must make you want to kill the guys that do that but that's wrong legally and morally you have to realize the people we're dealing with are sex they don't have control over their emotions or they wouldn't do these things in fact they need help just like their victims do what about the guy whereafter he must be some kind of a saddest to beat her up the way he did oh I got it I think he beat her up to keep her quiet so she couldn't attract attention and get him caught in fact it you know I can almost picture the guy we're after between 25 and 30 a house in the suburbs two kids and a pretty wife I wouldn't be surprised oh come on no I mean it well whether he has kids or a wife or not he's probably just an average Joe and why did he do what he did there are lots of reasons what makes an apparently normal healthy relatively young man become a child molester in most cases the sexual attraction to children has always been there in some form the true pedophile a person who has a deep-seated psychological compulsion to use children as sexual objects they usually have a very active and satisfying pre-putital sex life but as they get older they find girls their own age harder and harder to handle so they turn back to three adolescent girls and there they stay for the rest of their lives in other men pedophilia remains hidden until certain circumstances trigger it psychological impotence is one common cause some men in their 40s even their 30s can't get an erection with women their own age so they turn to pre-adolescence don't yet know about evidence other men become disgusted by a woman's breasts or her abundant pubic hair so they turn to children who haven't yet developed these characteristics some men because of deformity or ugliness or for various psychological reasons are unable even to approach women much less have a satisfactory sexual relationship with so they turn to children who are less demanding and less critical but whatever the causes the pedophile is seeking the attention affection and sexual gratification which he cannot find in adult Society [Music] how does that look Genie that's like him it's a little bit fatter okay fine why don't you look through this book and see if he can come up with his car [Music] yeah that's the car right there okay [Music] you found anything on that dog gimmick yet no but I'll bet that I found just about every other ammo that you can think of yeah you know it's funny most molesters seem to be natural child psychologists some of them even study the subjects it's fantastic how well they relate to kids are those really police costumes they sure are pretty neat huh yeah did you ever see a radio like that before you know it's fantastic that's nothing compared to the one I've got at home it's real shortwave radio and you can hear things from all over the world on it no kidding no kidding see I live real close would you like to come over and see it [Music] hey take it easy that's not the big look for such a pretty girl I'm sure hope you don't explode again is it close by I'll tell you what I'm going over that way myself glad to give you a ride home [Applause] [Music] well okay see you hi hi you know I couldn't help hearing when he told your buddy about being broke yeah I already sent this week too loud and it's only Saturday I know what you mean it always seems like you're probably need money most that's for sure if I have a way to make a dollar and it wouldn't take long it wouldn't work come here and I'll show you foreign [Music] yes that's just fine do you remember that candy I had last week the kind you like so much yeah yeah well I bought some more but I think I bought too much why don't you come over here and I'll give you some [Music] hey son I wonder if you can do me a favor I've been having some trouble here with this distributor I think I got it fixed now but I need somebody to get in there and get the starter you think you can uh handle that sure okay trash [Music] [Applause] okay try her again hey that's great right over we'll take her for a quick kiss right here [Music] well that doesn't we've got nothing on that particular Mo I think in the sex files either well at least we know how he operates what kind of a car he drives and we've got a good idea of what he looks like let's get some pliers out [Music] thank you Sunday have you seen Mary Lou no if you do tell her her mother wants to see her oh she can't she's helping Savannah for her last job [Music] you know what honey I bet Benji's having those pushes over there let's look there okay [Music] wait a minute [Music] get this out to Lieutenant Lacey right away they sent out Lacey no wants no warrants a 64 Volkswagen [Music] John Paul Chase yeah we're police officers yeah now wait a minute we know you have a big problem we want to help you you'll just let us that's my duty to inform you of your rights like most child molesters John Paul Chase was not so much a criminal as he was a very sick man a tradition in our system of justice and our society is not to harm the sick but to help and to cure them if possible but even though most molesters are not responsible for their actions the harm they do to young children can lead lasting scars even if those scars can't always be seen that's why it's not enough just to know how to deal with molesters when they appear even more important we must teach the children in our care how to avoid situations which give these sick people the chance to harm them foreign [Music]
