One of America's Most Wanted pedofile suspects may be at Renaissance Faires

[Amyj]

I was watching America's Most Wanted on Saturday, June 14th, and they did a profile on this pedophile suspect: http://www.amw.com/fugitives/brief.cfm?id=30829  In the report, they said that this pedophile may frequent Renaissance Festivals.  Knowing how I and other fellow R/F members feel about people who hurt children, and also give rennies such a bad name, I thought I would post the link to the AMW story here.  Be on the lookout for this guy and hopefully we can help put him away.

Thanks!

Thanks Amyj-I hope everyone takes time to read this,especially since theres a thread on letting your children run the faires w/o you . What a scary thought!

"Chafe wanted to create a Utopian community he planned to call the Cobalt Clan"

It also says his nickname was "Stryder" and he wanted to start a celtic clan.

Well I get all the bad luck don't I?  This guy's nickname is similar to mine and he likes "Stryder" which I also like from lord of the rings.  I ordered a ranger coat, ranger tabard and even leather bracers which are the same as strider wore in LOTR.  He also wants to start some celtic clan and a lot of my garb is celtic themed.

Of course I have no clue who this guy is and bear no resemblance to him thankfully.

I read the article and it didn't mention renaissance faires however that might be a place this guy might go.  I bet he frequents online RPGs like world of warcraft.  He probably hangs out at celtic festivals also.

I would hope teenage girls have enough common sense not to hang out with middle aged men who talk about forming celtic clans and having each woman bear 75 children.

Although we'd love to believe the faire is a happy haven and all those who go are gold, there are rotten apples everywhere and they will happily take advantage of a situation if they feel the attendees aren't attending.

This guy is doing it all wrong. Everyone knows you have to build these things around a religion that's at least loosely connected to Jesus, then you can claim religious persecution when you get busted just like the FLDS people in Texas. Pedophiles are so incompetant these days.

Thanks AmyJ. What a dirtbag. I've passed the link on to other rennies/renthusiasts; no doubt they'll do so as well.

See, this is what I love about faire folk. Well, one of the many things...

I'm the one who started that thread & yes, this is giving me serious pause about letting my oldest out by himself.

[CatAshtrophy]

That's scary. Thankful when I was a teen nothing scary happened to me at faire, but you have to think, "What if?" I hope they catch him fast.

I'm going to pass this on to the Kilt/Celtic forums I frequent.
Thanks for posting!

Ew. I saw a headline on comcast recently that soaid something like "Police kill man that beat child to death" and my first thought was, "Woohoo!" in reference to them killing the guy, not the child.

Being on the upper end of teenage girl (19 next week), but also having a retired cop for a dad, I know to protect myself. Dark parking lot? hold your keys so you are like Wolverine. Keys can do a fair amount of damage. Getting a creepy vibe from someone? Get away, don't be in a remote area.

I do get the creepy vibes. I think most women do. Just something about a man sets off the creep-o-meter. That is why girls/women go to the bathroom in pairs.

Trust your instincts. Everybody. If you don't feel comfortable, for any reason, go somewhere else.

Great. Just what we need, this pervert hanging around Ren Faires being a pedophile and giving Rennies a bad name. Hopefully they catch him soon.

Yeah, there was a guy in the Rogues Guild awhile back who was, well, we'll just say "not quite right" and leave it at that... but anyway, the great thing about our community as a whole is that we get the word out there, pull together and watch out for each other and the patrons.

LOL...

I say, we find em, tie em up, and put him on some middle age torture equipment. Not really to kill him, but to make him feel it until the feds show up.
