Glad to know Mingle has dealt reasonably quickly with this. I was never a friend to Lex but I after posting with him occasionally on here I was at least a little surprised at what I saw on ABC's website this morning.

Thanks Again for keeping us "in the know".




it is unfortunate.

to his credit, he was EMPHATIC about not dating anyone with kids though,,,


Yeah, self serving I'm sure....Getting busted while doing that would have earned him triple time, if not life...He does not deserve ANY credit what so ever Harmony....And isn't it funny how he lowered his age by what, nearly 18 years?!!...Most women in that age range have young children..mad

This is a perfect example of how you must proceed with caution when
befriending ANYONE on the internet.

Yeah....I'm sure he was telling the truth about that in spite of lying about everything else. whoa

Some of these comments about giving him a chance to "start over" make me sick.


I couldn't even sleep last night thinking about this and the danger our children are in from predators like this. I think I'm gonna go throw up now.

Don't be absurd. You are basing your opinion on what he wrote here? That was all a lie. What he did was a crime and hiding identities is another crime ... which he is doing now.

He deserves no credit and you don't know what else he has been doing in the meantime.

That's to his credit? Obviously, that doesn't mean anything at all after we found out what he's actually done.

Of course this is shocking to many of us. I bought this pedophiles books and am a friend on his author site for all to see. Unfortunately, I'm unable to delete it or get on the site to comment.

Charles and the administration did the right thing in this horrible turn of events. While never interacting with him on a personal basis it is impossible to not feel violated. This is someone that many of us knew for five plus years.

Know that we all do our best on this site as moderators and steps will be in place to hopefully prevent this scenario from happening again. I am disturbed beyond sleep. I can only imagine how some of you feel who viewed him as your friend.

I hope justice will be served to Keith Willis. I think that there is a serious flaw in the system for not being more diligent in seeing that aliases and user names on the internet and sites is listed.

I've looked at many sex offender records and I do not recall EVER seeing a list of internet user names on any sex offender record. Maybe this will be a wake up call to authorities to be more proactive and make sure that probation officers diligently quiz them as to their internet access and actions.

Sec. 12-14.1. Predatory criminal sexual assault of a child.

This means that the child was under 14, was penetrated and was possibly threatened or injured.

To three victims he did this, enough with the "poor Lex" crap.

Absolutely...and like Winx said....ANOTHER REASON NOT TO PUT PICTURES OF YOUR CHILDREN ON THE NET.....It is our job to protect children from preditors!!.... And not just our own children either....all of them any time the situation presents!

Please let me remind all that we would like to be able to keep this thread civil in order to let it remain and give others the chance to voice their opinon.

So please think twice before attacking other members for their opinion. Even if we do not see eye to eye with everyone please do not call them out on personal attacks.

We do understand more then you know how this has effected everyone. The site has taken all the needed actions.

With that said please give others the chance to be heard without throwing insults.

No. There were three victims for which he got CONVICTED. Historically, villains like this commit many more crimes than the police ever know about. Children are ashamed and are reluctant to tell of the crime. Sometimes their family is threatened.

Oh, I know. As I posted earlier, statistically, a pedophile has 260 victims in their lifetime. Imagine him and his pedophile brother (his brother is also a pedophile, btw) living together in their apartment full of toys, with thousands of pictures that would make the rest of us puke. What kind of things did they get up to, that they were never caught doing? Honestly, I'd rather not know.

I hate to have to be so blunt, but guys masturbate to porn. What do you "maybe he changed" folks think he was doing with pictures of murdered little girls?

Just be glad I am crazier than what you think I am. It is the normal people you gotta watch out for.
Lex wasn't so normal did you read his profile. Is any of that true about him being a published author??

Yes, I downloaded a sample of his first book on my kindle a few months ago. It sucked.

I imagine those who were getting to know him know much more (or thought they knew) than I do and must feel betrayed.

I cant share in that sense of betrayal as I didnt try to get to know him. I am also not sure what , specifically, he did to be labeled an 'offender' however, he doesnt seem to have been playing a predator here in a forum where he so clearly went out of his way to AVOID children.

Based upon what I am told about child predators, thats not common. So thats why I worded as to his 'credit'. I dont believe any person is all bad or all good, I would consider that awareness and precaution on his part a positive.

How do you know what he said here was true?
