Deadbeat Dad Agrees to Halt Sex

Man Threatened With Prison Time

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville man agreed Tuesday to abstain from sex until his child support has been paid in full.

Louisville station WLKY-TV reported that Luther Crawford was given the choice of abstaining from sex or facing one to five years in the penitentiary.

Crawford, 50, owes $33,000 in child support, WLKY reported.

Crawford admitted that he's fathered 12 children with 11 women, but he said that he's now learned to use contraception.

"I thought about it and thought about it," Crawford said. "I want to get out of jail. I don't want to go the penitentiary. I'm afraid I might die up in there."

Prosecutor Alan Cobb came up with the agreement.

"If he's not going to be supporting the children he presently has, and he can't work in the future, he doesn't need to have any more children," Cobb said.

Crawford chose celibacy instead of a cell, but he's not happy about it.

"No, I don't think it's fair," Crawford said. "I feel I should be able to continue having intercourse with a woman by protection, but not cut off."

Crawford said that he hasn't been able to pay his child support because he's blind in one eye and has glaucoma in the other, suffers from heart problems and has damaged tendons in his wrist.

Crawford has questions about how the no-sex rule will be enforced.

"Who's gonna be watching?" Crawford asked. "They gonna be at my house or follow me, or is a probation officer gonna take tests?"

Cobb explained the procedure.

"If probation conducts a routine visit, and he is found to be in the act so to speak with another person, that would be a violation," Cobb said.

Getting another woman pregnant would be solid proof that Crawford had sex, and would result in his being sent to prison for a probation violation.

"I've been thinking about it and I ain't gonna chance it cause you never know," Crawford said. "I'm gonna stick to it ... I'm gonna try my best."

Even if Crawford gets married, Cobb said he may still try to enforce the no sex agreement, WLKY reported.

Crawford said that his longtime girlfriend wasn't aware of the agreement, but from now on, he will just have to tell her no.

"Why is it the stupid people are the ones who seem to be the most prolific?"

By nature the offspring of idiots have less chance of survival and it's natures way of evening out things.

I don't think you should be envious, you probably wouldn't have sex with the level of women this guy goes for, even if they paid you. Think about it.
He and they must be pretty awful, mentally and/or physically.

That's not the first reason for wrist tendonitis that occurred to me, but you could be right.

This guy sounds like quite a catch. Scary to think of what the women he's banging are like.

But other than that, he's a real "catch" apparently.

". . . damaged tendons in his wrist."

If the damaged wrist tendons make it impossible for him to grip, compliance with the "no sex" order is going to be most difficult. However, assuming he does fail, I guess he would have the Clintonian "it's just about sex" defense available.

If I were inclined that way, something tells me that me and ol' Luther wouldn't be fishing from the same pond.

You'd better get to work, OPH. You've got a lot of ground to cover. Remember, it's for the kittens, and for the taxpayers of Kentucky.

Don't worry about that. Ol' Luther's on the job doing his part to outbreed the Latinos. Are you doing your part?

That would require the active cooperation of at least one member of the other major gender. It's not my fault I haven't contributed.
