Big Brothers-Big Sisters chapter director pleads guilty to sex crime
NEWARK, Ohio An Ohio man who headed up a chapter of Big Brothers-Big Sisters has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing one of the children he worked with.
James Russell has pleaded guilty to 25 sex-abuse charges involving a boy he'd mentored. Russell is now the second person in two years who worked for the central Ohio organization to be convicted of a sex crime.
His victim is now 19 years old and tells police that his mentor abused him for seven years.
Yes. They always bury pedophile stories.
Pedophiles go where the kids are.

It seems homosexual pedophile stories get buried the deepest...
This is most disgusting...
I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many more victims will probably come forward. To ruin, absolutely ruin a young child's life for some twisted selfish pleasure. Jeeez.
PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE OF FAITH APPLAUD BIG BROTHERS Mentoring program includes gay men
"EPF applauds the courage of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America for standing up to the religious right and including gay big brothers in their program," said EPF Director Dr. Sylvia Rhue.
"Young boys benefit from good role models, and a persons sexual orientation has no bearing on whether or not they will indeed be a good role model," said Rhue
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), a conservative Christian law firm, has issued a warning to school districts across the country regarding the mentoring program (see news story below).

What if that last sentence were something like, "His victim is now 19 years old and she tells police that her mentor abused her for seven years." (I'm assuming the abuse occurred from age 13 to age 19)
Would that change your reaction to the story?
It is covered up because it is same-sex.

He did it "For The Children."
Then the Media would cover it.
I remember a few years ago when BB/BS was fighting for the right to have gay big brothers/sisters. The gays won. What makes me vomit is that these are the least little children. If they are in this organization, they already have problems. Gays just wanted a ready/easy source of victims. By the way, I would oppose it just as strong if they wanted to pair up a hetero big brother with a young girl.
Yes it would (a little) -as Big Brothers and Big Sisters have a policy of male to male mentors and female to female mentors. However, with their acceptance of homosexuals they allow homosexuals to mentor males -I find this to be at minimum quite unsavory and absurd to place children in such a dangerous situation...
My ex-sister-in-law work for Big Brother's in Florida for about a year. Eventually, she got tired of turning down questionable applicants. Apparently, a lot applicants for the program are looking for kids to molest. So many had already been turned down in other parts of the country and simply moved and tried to become a "big brother" elsewhere. The program is a perv magnet.
But I find it absolutely incredible that a teen would put up with this "abuse" for seven frickin' years without uttering a word to anyone, or trying to remove themselves from the situation.
IF the child were 4, 6, 8, 10, even 12-years-old, yes, I can understand where they're confused and conflicted. But a post-pubescent teen? Something's not right.
It seems that organizations that serve youths always attract these pedophiles. I wonder if there isn't a better way to screen applicants.
Sure there's a better way to screen the applicants. Here's a clue: it doesn't sound anything like "Don't ask, Don't tell"
NAMBLA uses a portion of your same well thought out logical yet flawed argument to pursue their prey:
"NAMBLA's goal is to end the oppression of men and boys who have mutually consensual relationships".
At a minimum, one thing that's not right is homosexuality -the other is to consider consent with a minor morally possible.
