Boy describes sexual assault by mentor (Big Brother-Big sister pedophile)

Comments detailed in grand jury transcripts in former Las Vegas medical resident's case

Newly released court documents detail the case against a Las Vegas pediatric resident accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy he met through Big Brothers Big Sisters.

David Glenn Evans, 32, was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on 50 felonies.

During the grand jury proceedings that led to the indictment, the victim testified that a counselor referred him to Big Brothers Big Sisters because he was having trouble with his parents' divorce.

"I was seeing a counselor and they said it would be a good thing to get me in a program called Big Brothers Big Sisters," the child testified. "So then I did. So my mom got me into Big Brothers Big Sisters. So then, one day we went there and met Mr. David Evans, and so then he got me my birthday present, which is (a trip to) Shark Reef (at Mandalay Bay) and this remote-control car."

The child said Evans eventually took him camping in California. While getting ready to go swimming, he noticed Evans was taking photos of him.

"I was getting undressed to go swimming and he picked his camera up and I saw a flash," the child said. "I said, `Did you just take a picture of me?' And he's like, `Yeah.' "

Subsequently, the child spent several nights at Evans' house, and during those encounters, he said he was photographed during acts that included oral sex and anal intercourse.

"Now, when you would go and spend the night at Mr. Evans' house, where would you sleep?" Clark County prosecutor Thomas Moreo asked the boy.

"On the bed next to him," the child replied.

"What did you think of that?" Moreo asked.

"I really didn't like it," the child said.

The boy confirmed that he was photographed in numerous sexually explicit photos found on Evans' computer.

"He told me one time not to tell my mom," the child said.

"I didn't like it," the child said.

"Why did you allow him to do it?" the prosecutor asked.

"Because I was scared," he replied.

Authorities announced the arrest of Evans late last year on sexual assault and child pornography charges after Evans' roommate found child pornography on Evans' computer.

Las Vegas police Detective Michael Castaneda told the grand jury that an inspection of Evans' computer revealed a large cache of photos of Evans with the 10-year-old and also with another boy. The second boy is pictured naked and masturbating during a camping trip Evans took with the child in California, as well.

California authorities have filed similar charges against Evans there.

Evans' attorney, Gabriel Grasso, declined comment.

Evans was a resident in the pediatric medicine program at the University of Nevada School of Medicine and had been performing his residency for six months at Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center and at University Medical Center.

There is no evidence that he committed crimes against children in his capacity as a doctor at those hospitals.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Nevada is an award-winning charity that pairs adults with children in need of guidance. The agency has about 500 different mentorships in the Las Vegas Valley.

In a statement issued shortly after Evans' arrest, the organization expressed disappointment and sadness about the allegations against Evans.

"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news that he has been identified in connection with allegations of child pornography and sexual assault," the organization said.

"Big Brothers Big Sisters has zero tolerance for abuse and we will continue to refine our practices to ensure the safety of all the children we serve."

[Nevadan]

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Program has become a magnet for perverts. In my opinion, they are more concerned with being politically correct than serving the children the program was originally designed to help. Since the program actively recruits homosexuals to be mentors, and it is the policy of the organization to pair same sex mentors with the children being mentored, it is not surprising that children are becoming molestation victims. Although homosexuals make up only 1-3% of the population, they are way over represented in the population of molesters, committing approximately 1/3 of the molestations. The organization says that they have "zero" tolerance for sexual abuse, but the question is, what will they do differently in the future?

[wideawake]

Evans was a resident in the pediatric medicine program

Great.

[fatnotlazy]

This is sad...a close friend of mine has been heavily involved in BB/BS locally for a lot of years. All of his kids turned out well. It's a shame that many of these good organizations and those involved in them are being ruined by a few of these (expletives deleted).

pediatric resident accused of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy he met through Big Brothers Big Sisters


This is so totally yuck....

[Paisan]

Of course, this wouldn't be a problem if pediatricians were allowed to marry....

[Obadiah]

More depravity. Organizations such as this and others, along with the ACLU enablers, willingly - and gladly - sacrifice our children to the ravages of homosexuals.

It is sheer lunacy that we allow this out of fear of being labled a homophobe! Nuts to that!

[governsleastgovernsbest]

There is no evidence that he committed crimes against children in his capacity as a doctor at those hospitals.

Wanna bet? Why did he choose pediatric medicine in the first place?

[the OlLine Rebel]

Since the program actively recruits homosexuals to be mentors

It does? Man, as cynical as I am, I can't believe how naive I still am....

[yellowdoghunter]

This pervert should be put away for life. However, I am sure he will not be.

This may sound harsh, but that boy's parents should have provided him with a stable, loving, two-parent home and this would probably not have happened. I am not blaming the parents, only the pervert did this, however, the child wound have never needed an organization like BBBS if it weren't for the parents. Perverts prey on children who come from broken homes, unstable homes, etc....

[the OlLine Rebel]

"homophobe"

Is that fear of sameness? Conformity?

Oh, sorry, that's right; it's fear of humans.... ;-)

[Congressman Billybob]

First, I've been involved in the efforts of the Boy Scouts to defend their constitutional rights (so said the US Supreme Court) against continuing ACLU attempts to push them to accept homosexual adult leaders. So I agree with the condemnation of Big Brothers / Big Sisters for allowing homosexual men and women to be adult leaders.

The puzzling aspect of this article is it calls this pervert "Mr." rather than "Dr." If he is in a residency program, he is already a doctor. He should be unfrocked as a doctor, but there hasn't been time for that to occur as yet.

And the idea that this occurred "outside his activities as a doctor" is total bullsh*t. Someone who is a "baby-raper" as the cons say, should have no contact with any patients, most especially children.

Congressman Billybob

Latest column, " 'L.A. Chappaquiddick,' Starring Hillary Clinton."

[the OlLine Rebel]

He probably figured not only is he more likely to get in trouble as a "doctor" (gives new meaning to the phrase, "playing doctor"), but that he'd get more pleasure time thru a sucker organization like this.

Think about it - 10-min feel-ups in the doc's office, vs a whole vacation weekend as a "big brother"?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

You're probably right, but then again, his choice of specialization certainly sets off red flags.

[whereasandsoforth]

I really don't understand how a grown man can have anal sex with a ten year old boy and the boy has no physical signs for other adults to pick up on. I mean, there is a lot of pain and trauma involved in inserting even an average sized adult penis into the small rectum of a ten year old.

Am I behind the times and there are new and improved methods of this type of rape that makes the process more palatable for the one being raped? I, personally, don't think at age ten I would have been able to hide such a trauma.

I've had clinical rectal exams as an adult and walked funny for three days.

[Idisarthur]

The Pro-Criminal lobby will probably seek protection for this guy in prison.

They will probably ask that he be housed separately.

We conservatives and republicans should fight harder against this powerful, leftist, pro-criminal, godless Lobby. It is an ideology of freedom with no responsibility and void of truth. A space filled with chaos, non-truth, lies.

Just look and see the state in which it left Russia.

Now those Russian, remorse-less and morally relativistic thugs are attacking me with Internet scams. They seek to steal my identity.

In fact, there is a Pro-Criminal Lobby.

And you should not have cordial conversation with your liberal friends on this subject matter. Victims of crime are often twice victims.

Big Brothers Allow Gay Mentors Local Board Members Seem Not to Know By Robert Kumpel Big Brothers Big Sisters of America announced in July that they had changed their policy and would allow homosexuals to mentor children of the same gender: "Volunteer Big Brothers, Big Sisters, and Board Members are not excluded on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran status, or disability." Noreen Shanfelter, Big Brothers' national media spokesperson in Philadelphia, referred me to a press release that attempts to convince readers that there has been no change in policy: "For the past 25 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America has followed a non-discrimination policy that prohibits exclusion of potential volunteers, staff, youth or parents on the basis of race, color, religion, national original, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, veteran status or disability. Our volunteer selection policy is to honor the preference of the parents or guardians who bring their children to us for services. Parents approve the proposed match." If sexual orientation has never been a factor in selecting mentors, why did they need to make a new statement? Paul Palmer, a former general manager at KFMB radio, has been the executive director of San Diego's Big Brothers affiliate for two years. "I don't know why they keep digging that story up. Nothing has changed. We don't discriminate. The parent has full disclosure and it is up to them to determine whether a gay or lesbian mentor is acceptable to them. There really hasn't been any change. Locally, that's always been the policy. During the interview process, we learn that information, but we don't discriminate, and there are lesbian and gay big brothers and big sisters. We do disclose it to the parents, in case there is an issue with it." When asked how they reconcile the policy of males forbidden to mentor girls, yet allowing homosexual males to mentor young teenagers who they might be attracted to, Palmer says the policy is not based on sexual attraction. "It's really because of brothers and sisters. The two organizations merged and the basic premise was that a male would be able to bond with an adult male mainly because of our kids come from single-parent families where there wouldn't be a male in that boys' life, and it's somewhat similar for the girls. It's really a same-sex role modeling. It's completely different from the issue regarding sexual attraction. In fact, you can take a situation where you may have a gay big brother who certainly cares about the welfare of the child and could be a really good role model. It's up to the parent to determine if that's acceptable or not. It's really a pretty simple policy." Palmer says that homosexuals can be acceptable role models for young boys, and that there is no link between homosexuality and child molestation. "The premise that you're reading to me is that the homosexual or gay role model would be more likely to molest a child, which we all know isn't true. As you know, most of the people who molest children are not gay at all." The danger of the new latitude in allowing homosexual mentors became evident in September when Big Brothers mentor Scott Wagner of Ohio was charged raping his 12-year-old charge in Newark Ohio, was investigated for inappropriate behavior with six other boys, and later indicted on 73 child child-sex related charges by a grand jury. The clerical scandals seem to have had no impact on Big Brothers' local policy. Palmer: "The screening process that we go through is so extensive that we are obviously looking for zero issues. We have an FBI check, a DMV check, fingerprinting, a series of extensive interviews. It usually takes about four to six weeks for someone to go through the screening process. In San Diego, our case workers have had great sensitivity to making sure that these kids are safe." The disparate demand for big brothers vs. big sisters suggests that Big Brothers may be lowering its standards for male mentors. "We have plenty of big sisters for the girls in the program, but we have about 500 boys on the waiting list, waiting for big brothers," said Palmer, "I'm trying to find more big brothers to match with the little brothers who are waiting. There probably are more boys who are what we consider 'at-risk.'" Andrew Ratner has been the president of Big Brothers and Sisters of San Diego for almost two years. Like Palmer, Ratner holds the party line about the policy. "There has really been no change in policy. We don't discriminate based on someone's sexual orientation. We leave it up to the parent." When asked if the question of sexual orientation comes up when screening mentor candidates, Ratner said yes. "It's one of the questions we ask. There's a whole slew of questions. The reason we match boys with men has nothing to do with the worry of any kind of sexual misconduct. It's predicated on the fact that these boys don't have any male role models in their life." Ratner also says that the clerical scandals have not raised any concern at Big Brothers. "Because of the scandals, we haven't turned up the heat. We try to be as extremely thorough as we can." Bruce Shepherd has been a member of San Diego's Big Brothers board of directors for 13 years and knew nothing about a change in policy and sounded surprised when it was described to him. "I can't imagine the policy says that, but I don't want to react to the policy unless I've had a chance to read it and look at it. I'm headed out of town, and I won't be able to talk about it until next week." Bill Fanning was a member of San Diego's board of directors for eight years and has been on the advisory board for a little more than a year. He had no knowledge of the change "I'd have to read it first before I could comment on something like that." Matthew Pavich has been an advisory board member of San Diego Big Brothers for two years. When asked about the change, Harrison was silent for several seconds and sighed. "I don't know if I'm supposed to respond to anything regarding this. You should talk to the current board and the current general manager of the organization." Philip Harrison is a new member of the local advisory board. When asked about the change, he said he had never heard of it. After reading it to him, he was reluctant to comment. "I don't really have any input at all in terms of speaking for the board. I'd have to refer you to the local president of the organization. I don't have any personal comment." After the new policy was issued, one affiliate in Owensboro Kentucky resigned from Big Brothers and changed its name to "Quest for Kids." A staff member from Quest for Kids who spoke to me on condition of anonymity, said that their break with Big Brothers has freed them to raise their standards and avoid the restrictions they would have as a secular organization. "We want to be a Christian organization focusing on, hopefully, showing Jesus to kids in our community and matching Christian mentors with children. We do not just want to be the controversial center of the Big Brothers scandal. It's not our mission to just stand up on that issue." Separating from Big Brothers seems to have increased Quest for Kids' support. "We've been really blessed since we made the break from Christian support in our community, volunteers and people offering services and money. There are more volunteers now than ever before. What I would like to see from this whole thing as a revival among Christians to pour their lives into their children. If Christian agencies started up all over the country and took over the mentorship program nationally as opposed to delegating it to a secular organization with the hope of them acting in a Christian way -- that would be more ideal."

[wideawake]

Absolutely. Celibacy is something for which doctors, especially young ones, are well-known.

[Idisarthur]

It's my understanding that the actions are not damaging to the offended. Only in certain cases. What I mean is, I once saw a documentary on CNN Special Report of Romanian Pedophiles asking the molested boys to perform the act on them, the grown adult. Since, as you said, it seems impossible the other way.

Apparently, the pedophiles get pleasure that way.

[John Lenin]

The guy needs chemical castration. It should be the law against pedophiles.

[the OlLine Rebel]

So they did this rather recently? How stupid.

The truth is this: most pedophile victims are boys. Most pedophiles are men.

Guess what that means?

Most pedophiles are fags.

Oh, but we hate to admit that!

[whereasandsoforth]

Thanks for your post. I never thought of it that way, but then again I wouldn't. It just gets stranger and stranger. That CNN special must have been a real eye-opener.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Are you saying then, that the pedophile gets the boy do "do" the pedophile? OMG. That has implications somewhere else, incidentally....

[Idisarthur]

"Big Brothers Allow Gay Mentors"

Time to create the "Christian Big Brothers Big Sisters of America".

Hey I'm sure there is big money in it. $$$$$ This being the case be ready for a turf war.

And I'm sure you would beat out the Secular Big Brother group when working with Churches and American families of faith.

Any business types out there? Any takers?

[the OlLine Rebel]

article: "there is no link between homosexuality and child molestation."


BS. See my last post. DUH!

[Idisarthur]

Yeah, it was.

It showed how in Italy, off the main tourist areas. It show, sad enough, it showed parents selling their children as prostitutes.

One father told of how he arranged it once for his pre-teen son and an Algerian client brutally raped his son (this not being what was discussed in the pre-arrangement).

Very sad documentary.

[RicocheT]

Big Brothers and Big Sisters have been good programs that helped many kids over the years. We can't toss out these programs just because of a few problem participants.

The case against this man seems strong and the accuser seems credible. The case should go to trial and possible conviction. That means the system can deal with those who are the bad apples.

We can't damn the programs (BB, Boy Scouts, churches, etc.) as they do much more good than the few problem cases that arise. Parents just have to be careful who is around their children and check up on what's happening, even Uncle Eddy can turn out to be a bad guy.

Also, an accusation can be false. The accused should be given the presumption of innocence and not railroaded to jail by an over zealous prosecutor who is out to make a name for himself (Janet Reno started out this way).

[Idisarthur]

it showed parents selling their children as prostitutes.

The parents were not Italians they we immigrants, they were from other countries.

[superdad]

When they changed their policy, I asked the local (Detroit area) chapter if they informed the parent of the child if the counselor was homosexual. They said their policy was not to do so, as it would be discriminatory.</p>

[KC_for_Freedom]

The Big Brothers Big Sisters Program has become a magnet for perverts.

Even in San Mateo, in the bluest of the blue states, they require a one hour workshop from every organization in the city who works with children. (All Boy Scout leaders were allowed to substitute the BSA program.) The idea was to learn to recognize a distressed child, and to invoke the rule that no child is ever alone with a single adult. There can be a group of children with an adult and there can be a group of adults with a single child. They are not allowed to shower together, or to camp in the same tent ... I believe BB and BS need to get with the program. Obvious to all is the higher risk of recruiting open Homosexuals. (And don't reply if all you want to say is there is not greater risk.)

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I asked the local (Detroit area) chapter if they informed the parent of the child if the counselor was homosexual. They said their policy was not to do so, as it would be discriminatory.

That is absolutely OUTRAGEOUS. Would parents let their child go camping with an opposite sex counselor? Shouldn't they be warned of the same virtual situation with a homosexual counselor?

[Idisarthur]

"the pedophile gets the boy do "do" the pedophile? "

Thats how the report portrayed it. Yes.

So you have homosexual pedophiles.

I breifly tried to find the Special Report on CNN. It dealt with Romania and it's Government officials addressing or not addressing the issue. It also dealt with Italy, Singapore and some know Pedophiles from the UK and elsewhere who frequent these lawless places.

[fatnotlazy]

True. The sad thing is that regardless of whether the story is for real, the damage has already been done. A fine organization, its volunteers and participants have all been besmirched.

My friend who is an avid volunteer is not gay and is not a pedophile. His first little brother ironically is now a doctor. His father had died of cancer when he was small, and his mother fortunately recognized that he would need some male guidance. Hats off to her for making sure her son got the help he needed. And I'm glad my friend was there to help.

His current little brother was in "juvee" at age 11 for stabbing another boy. He is now about to graduate from high school with honors. Last I heard he had a number of prestigious colleges and universities after him (including a few Ivy League)...although I don't which one he chose (I'm assuming he has by now). Looks like he too will be another success story.

[Nevadan]

Re: We can't damn the programs (BB, Boy Scouts, churches, etc.) as they do much more good than the few problem cases that arise.

The difference between the Boy Scouts & churches and Big Brothers Big Sisters is that with the Scouts and churches, an occasional pervert may slip through the cracks, but with Big Brothers Big Sisters, there is an organizational policy to actively recruit from a population that is sexually aberrant, thus willingly exposing the children the organization supposedly serves to much higher risks of exploitation.

[MarineBrat]

The boy confirmed that he was photographed in numerous sexually explicit photos found on Evans' computer.

I need no more evidence!

[JZelle]

This poor kid goes through a tough stretch feeling like there's nobody looking out after him, and then this. It doesn't get any more heartless than this.

[massgopguy]

Call it what it is, the Gay Anschluss is here.

[Yaelle]

We can't damn the programs (BB, Boy Scouts, churches, etc.)

Don't kid yourself. In the L.A. Times a couple days ago, there was a front page research story on the Canadian detective in charge of finding pedophiles (sorry, his name escapes me) and child porn creators and distributors. Trying to save the victims.

He had uncovered so many pedophile scout leaders that he would not allow his young son to enter the scouts.

Also note the kinds of families Michael Jackson made sure his victims came from.

All of these programs should take place in public. The parent should drive her child to a PUBLIC PARK where a group of mentors and kids would remain in the public eye until the parent picks up. I don't thing camping is a very good idea, either, unless it is a very well-supervised camp with enough risk to be sued. Certainly no one should let one individual take their child camping. Total red flag.

[rkhampton]

We can't toss out these programs just because of a few problem participants. ... That means the system can deal with those who are the bad apples.

You seem to miss the point entirely. The problem is not that one boy was molested, which is horrible in itself. The main problem here is that the organization has adopted a policy that will make such incidents commonplace. If they insist upon such policies, then they should, and must be "tossed out."

Since the program actively recruits homosexuals to be mentors,

Do you have any evidence that the perp in this case declared himself to be homosexual?

I don't think the organization "actively recruits homosexuals" any more than they actively recruit gun owners or actively recruit Christians or Buddhists.

There is full disclosure to the parent. If the parent doesn't like homos or gun owners or atheists there is no match.

[AdamSelene235]

The difference between the Boy Scouts & churches and Big Brothers Big Sisters is that with the Scouts and churches, an occasional pervert may slip through the cracks, but with Big Brothers Big Sisters, there is an organizational policy to actively recruit from a population that is sexually aberrant

Can you show me where the organization actively recruits homosexuals? I mean are there billboards or something demanding more gay volunteers?

They no more actively recruit homosexuals than they actively recruit gun owners. In both instances, there is full disclosure to the parent who is free to reject the match.

You are using dishonest language to twist the meaning of the organization's policy into something it is not.

[Nevadan]

Re: Can you show me where the organization actively recruits homosexuals? I mean are there billboards or something demanding more gay volunteers?
They no more actively recruit homosexuals than they actively recruit gun owners. In both instances, there is full disclosure to the parent who is free to reject the match.

Just do a search and you will find statements such as the following at various Big Brother Big Sister websites. This one is from North Texas BBBS in their FAQ section:

Do you accept gay/lesbian volunteers?
"Big Brothers Big Sisters is proud that not only do we have a nondiscrimination policy, but also it's part of our philosophy. We embrace diversity and believe every human being can offer positive role modeling."

I don't think you have to have billboards targeting the homosexual population in order to be actively recruiting that population. You simply make it clear in your recruitment efforts that you are desirous of the "so called" diversity. In the statement above, the BBBS chapter even went so far as to say that "EVERY human being can offer positive role modeling". How is that for low standards? I mean, take away sexual preferences/orientation as an issue and think about that one for a moment. I would say from my observations that there are plenty of people on this planet who should not be anywhere near children, let alone be role models for them.

Re: the full disclosure to the parent who is free to reject the match, you obviously did not read about the chapters where they do not disclose the information because they deem it "discriminatory" to do so.

[AdamSelene235]

It is difficult to find any sizable institution these days that does not have some gobble-dee gook statement regarding diversity. This is only "active recruitment" in your feverish hyperbolic imagination, in reality this is legal CYA.

In the statement above, the BBBS chapter even went so far as to say that "EVERY human being can offer positive role modeling". How is that for low standards?

The same website also discloses the requirements for a Criminal Background Investigation, 3 references, a personal (rather invasive) interview, training, and comments that volunteers are sometimes rejected without explaination.

Re: the full disclosure to the parent who is free to reject the match, you obviously did not read about the chapters where they do not disclose the information because they deem it "discriminatory" to do so. \

The only case I'm aware of was the case in Minneapolis where Big Brothers inisisted on disclosing a volunteer's homosexuality to the parent who then sued the agency under the municipal anti-discrimanation policy.

As far as I'm aware the organization still practices full disclosure. If anything you should be ticked with the government for trying to override Big Brother's internal policies. Its pretty clear they are playing legal CYA here, not actively recruiting homos. (with full disclosure I would expect it would be extremely difficult to find parents willing to accept gay role models....the majority of Americans still find homosexuality repugnant despite the efforts of government schools/media/radical activists, etc.)

You evaded my first question. Where did you learn the perp in this case was a declared homosexual who was "actively recruited".
