LOL you're both funny.... not much point in pokin' the bear, though... I am sure everyone has plenty on their minds, and will be happy to see the situation resolved. In Dunn loring it has dragged on for a couple of years - imagine how long it has dragged on for the victims....

That is like the case of the man who recently went to the rtirement home for Jesuit Priests and beat his abuser to a pulp.  The man had to be hospitalized.  I believe that article was referenced here.  The family had gotten a settlement from teh RCC long ago, but it was jsut not enough according to this young man, who is now using the media attention on the case to make the point about those abusers who basicallyface no consequences, like this one who was nicely retired still on the RCC's dime.

I am with you Mrst.........I am sure there are a few copy cats about.  Especially, with the anger and raw emotionsl expressed  here.  I am aware of three(3) of victims that post(or posted) here, no telling what is going on in the tortured minds of those yet to heard from.

Also, to my knowledge pedophiles(and rapists) are not "welcomed" by the general population is prisons.


If I were Tommy, I would be afraid to leave my home and if I did, I would always be looking over my shoulder. I am sure some of those he has abused hate him so much, that they want to kill him. If they don't have God in their lives, they just might. If not they, themselves, then maybe their loved ones. If someone had abused my son, especially a pastor or teacher, I would have felt like killing them. And I know without God, I would I would have carried it out.

The more victims from DL that come forward, the better chance that Tommy will go to jail and stay there. Or at least he will make a plea deal and still go to jail. No one wants this to go to trial. No one wants the victims to have to go thru the trial.So a plea deal is the best way to go.

Three?  I must have missed something.  Who was the third?

In the victim's minds it will be about whether they feel enough was done to bring closure and whether justice was done. If not it is possible that a known or heretofore unknown victim may be like the man who went to the retirement home and beat the priest. Money had been awarded in that case I believe but he did not feel that enough had been done. Specifically what the victims and the judge may be looking for is true remorse by the perp and admission that his actions were wrong.

No need to poke the bear. The bear just doesn't seem to be getting it.

Speaking of three victims (not related to princessdi's post above), I just read the following posted by Pickle at http://www.blacksda.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13795&view=findpost&p=199683:
Quote
"... I just heard that the number of underage victims from Virginia has gone from 1 to 3, and I've finally gotten a name of one of those and have some correspondence from him.  ..."

Pickle, I have only read about two underage victims in VA at this site and the newspaper articles.  Is there another underage victim that has not come forward to the police?  Is what you heard back in June 2007 true?  Thanks for any information.

A June 2007 new one was Alex. I don't off the top of my head remember details about a third, but I recall being told something at some point about another one.

Sorry I'm not more help.

Do you remember who told you that the number of underage victims from Virginia increased from 1 to 3?  If so, will you please follow up with them to find out if there really are three VA victims?

I can verify that there are three.

Alex, will the 3rd  victim ever consider, coming forward, if it would help convict Tommy? I understand if he/she won't.

Thanks Alex.  I am sorry to hear this.  I was hoping to find out that what Pickle heard in 2007 was not true.

Pickle, are you able to find out if the third person you heard about in 2007 is the same as the third that Alex is confirming.  Could there be a fourth VA underage victim?

VestedInterest, before now, were you and others at the Dunn Loring church aware of this?

....ok, so I did make a mistake, but I wsn't wrong........there are three?   How sad!  I just keep thinking of those Oprah episodes with all those men, all of those damaged lives............and there are so many more.  I pray for these men, even though I don't know any of them.
