Ohio Man Claims Right To Have Sex With Boys

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A suburban Cleveland man accused of sexually assaulting nine disabled boys told a judge Wednesday that his apartment was a religious sanctuary where smoking marijuana and having sex with children are sacred rituals protected by civil rights laws.

[...]

Appearing in an Ohio court for a pretrial hearing, Phillip Distasio, 34, of Rocky River, Ohio, said he was a pedophile.

He told the judge, "I'm a pedophile. I've been a pedophile for 20 years. The only reason I'm charged with rape is that no one believes a child can consent to sex. The role of my ministry is to get these cases out of the courtrooms."

Distasio, a self-professed pagan friar, is representing himself on 74 charges. He said he's the leader of a church called Arcadian Fields Ministries, and that some of his congregants are among the victims in his case.

The judge told Distasio to confine his arguments to secular laws at his trial, scheduled to begin Sept. 11.

Distasio was arrested on charges he molested two disabled boys he was tutoring at his home. He's also accused of raping seven other autistic children at a Cleveland school for special-needs students, The Plain Dealer reported. All but one of the boys was under 13, which carries a mandatory life-in-prison sentence if he is convicted, the paper reported.

Police said they found journals at Distasio's apartment in which he described his illegal activities, along with child pornography and videotapes of him engaged in sex with boys, The Plain Dealer reported

"Not all pedophilia is bad, and sex [with boys] can be healthy," Distasio told the court.

Fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. Somebody should shed a light on the whole rat's nest.

That's right, you sick fsck, no child can consent to sex.

"Not all pedophilia is bad, and sex [with boys] can be healthy," Distasio told the court.

No, all pedophilia is bad and it's never healthy. Kids having sex with each other, that's natural and while should be discouraged, it's going to happen. Adults having sex with children is always wrong. Adults are able to deal with the responsibilities and consequences of sex, most children cannot and thus must be protected from sex with adults.

PMITA prison is perfect for him. Put him on the receiving side for the rest of his life.

Clearly he's mentally sick as all pedaphiles are. But if we really want to rid these kinds of people from society we should be looking at where they're coming from. What creates these kinds of monsters? I don't believe anyone is born 'evil'. This person was more than likely molested as a child. It's a vicious cycle and you have to break the cycle.

His congregants??? Does that mean their parents are part of his, um, ministry?
