Jehovah's Witnesses Pedophile Recruitment Program

Click, A FELLOW JEHOVAH'S WITNESS STOLE MY IDENTITY, to read a longer story posted on its own dedicated webpage about an age 30s 3G Jehovah's Witness sexual predator who stole and used the identity of a younger JW Teenager from the predator's former congregation in order to assist the predator's efforts to seduce worldly teenaged girls in an adjacent county.

NEW ZEALAND v. WAYNE WHIUNUI X 3 (1980s-90s) and NEW ZEALAND v. WAYNE WHIUNUI (1997-98) included two CHILD MOLESTATION prosecutions of a Perpetrator who was portrayed as a recent JW Convert during the 1997-98 prosecution. We suspect that Perp had been a JW much longer than portrayed. The three previous convictions included: permitting an indecent act with a female, for which the appellant was sentenced to one year's supervision, obscene exposure, and making an obscene phone call, both for which he was merely fined. Convicted Perp was never sentenced to time in jail nor prison.

The 1997-98 prosecution was for the WEEKLY assaults on the Perp's eight to ten year old niece while babysitting her and her siblings at her own home, lasting for 43 months from 1981-84, when the Perp was 14 to 16 years old. Perp was prosecuted for performing oral sex on the young victim, and for what NZ termed "inducing a child under 12 to do an indecent act", which actually was ORAL RAPE and forcing the victim to manually masterbate the Perp. Perp plead guilty only to the masterbation charge, but was convicted at trial on the two ORAL RAPE charges. TYPICALLY, Perp was sentenced to only four years in prison, and he even appealed that. Denied.

NEW ZEALAND v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (1969), WESTERN AUSTRALIA v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (1990), AUSTRALIA v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (1996), AUSTRALIA v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (1997), AUSTRALIA v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (2000), NEW ZEALAND v. BRUCE BERNARD BURR (2007).

Serial Pedophile Bruce B. Burr, is/was (born 1943) a native of New Zealand who lived in Western Australia from February 1980 until he was deported back to NZ around December 2000. We include his story on this webpage as evidence that the WatchTower Cult recruiting program culls nothing, not even long-term serial pedophiles. Bruce Burr's victims included both boys and girls ranging from six years old to 13 years old. Burr's victims included children of relatives, neighbor's children, and even his own children's friends. Bruce Burr was convicted of molesting children everywhere he lived during the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Who knows how many children Burr may have molested for which he was never prosecuted or not convicted.

The 2007 decision briefly discusses Bruce Burr's recent conversion to the Jehovah's Witnesses, when he was around 62 years old. Given Burr's multiple trips to jail and prison, it is a near certainty that Burr had had earlier contact with JWs. Imprisoned JW converts frequently had previous contact with the JW Cult before going to jail/prison.

Dr Dean's report: Next there is a report prepared by Dr Dean, a Consultant Psychiatrist with the Regional Forensic Psychiatry Service in the Waikato Region. He prepared a report dated 30 November 2006 for the District Court. One of the matters that he was required to address in his report was whether you are likely to commit another qualifying sexual offence under s87 of the 2002 Act so as to warrant the imposition of a sentence of preventive detention.

Dr Dean outlines your history in some detail. It is clear from this that you grew up believing that sexual relationships between children were normal because that had happened to you at an early age. It is also clear that you have had abnormal thoughts about sexual matters from an early age. You described to Dr Dean sexual behaviour that included grooming children over a period of time. You would expose yourself to children and ask them to masturbate you. You described to him building a museum in Australia and involving in sexual acts with you a girl who was helping you on that project. This gave rise to the charges in Western Australia in 1990. You also describe babysitting the family in Australia and engaging in various episodes of sexual innuendo with the children of that family. You told Dr Dean that you had developed a strong sexual desire towards children usually aged between 7 and 14 years. You had no particular preference between males and females. You also told Dr Dean that you had collected some sexually explicit material on teenage sex and that you would use these images for masturbation and to show children whom you were grooming.

It is clear that you would tend to fantasise about children and that you enjoyed befriending and grooming them. You describe distorted thinking, convincing yourself that you were looking for love and that your relationships with children were mutually satisfying. You did not, however, consider the feelings of your victims.

Dr Dean reports that you say that you no longer have sexual fantasies about children. You told him that you have developed a plan under which you will not allow yourself to be alone with a child and you have avoided entering into friendships with family oriented friends. You say that you will never apply for any position of employment that involves being around or near children. You also say that you continue to receive counselling through the Jehovah Witness Church and that you are now well supported through that Church. Members of the Church confirm that your association with the Church is unlikely to lead to you being exposed to young children in close proximity.

Dr Dean records that you rate your own risk of repeat sexual offending as a medium level risk. You accept that, because of your own history and sexual attractions, you cannot be considered to have no risk. You feel, however, that as a consequence of the things that you have learned in your treatment programmes, you can keep your risk well contained. You also express some remorse over the events that happened many years ago and express sympathy towards the victims of your offending. You have also indicated to Dr Dean that you are prepared to participate in any sexual offenders programme that the Court may direct you to attend.

Dr Dean notes that you do not have a psychiatric diagnosis but that you have described a pattern of behaviour consistent with paedophilia. He says that it is not within his realm of expertise to make any definitive prediction of the risk that you are likely to commit another sexual offence. He says, however, that there are a number of factors that do place you in a high-risk category. These include your long history of sexual behaviour towards children. That pattern of behaviour appears to be fairly consistent and that involves the sexual touching of children between the ages of 7 and 14 years. It has also included sexual touching with both girls and boys who are prepubescent. Your pattern has been to groom a number of children over a period of time before involving yourself in sexualised relationships. Such behaviour places you, says Dr Dean, in a high-risk group for re-offending.

Dr Dean acknowledges, however, that you have completed a number of courses for sexual offenders to address your sexualised behaviour towards children. On the basis of this, and assuming that you have not committed any offences since your release from prison in Australia, Dr Dean says that it would appear that the sex offenders programme in Australia was helpful in reducing your risk of re-offending.

ALABAMA v. ARTEZ HAMMONDS (1992) and ALABAMA v. ARTEZ HAMMONDS (1997). In 1992, African-American Artez Hammons, age 22, was convicted of robbing and attempting to MURDER a female. Sentenced to 20 years in state prison, in 1997, Artez Hammons was again prosecuted and convicted of the May 1990 RAPE and MURDER of a 22 year-old NURSE who only days earlier had graduated from UA and was in the process of moving to Dothan, Alabama, for her first job as a Nurse. There, HAVERTYS employee Artez Hammond delivered to her some purchased furniture. Artez Hammond returned to his victim's apartment the next day, gained entry, and proceeded to STRANGLE, RAPE, and SODOMIZE the physically small girl. When finished, Artez Hammond cut his victim's throat, and stabbed her nearly 40 times. Rightfully sentenced to DEATH ROW, Artez Hammonds has lost every judicial appeal, but various administrative roadblocks have been used to block Hammonds' execution.

INTERESTINGLY, although Artez Hammonds' "joining" of the WatchTower Cult while in prison is described as a "conversion" by his Jehovah's Witness fans, during the sentencing portion of his trial, Artez Hammonds was described as "a respectful and attentive student in school", who "participated in and attended church regularly as a child." Claims of Artez Hammonds' innocence as a victim of WHITE PREJUDICE simply ignore the fact that Hammonds' bloody DNA was scattered throughout the victim's apartment.

PENNSYLVANIA v. WAYNE JOSEPH HEFFELFINGER is a series of 2003-21 Pennsylvania criminal court cases relating to the 2003 RAPE of an 8 year-old boy near Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. In 2004, Wayne J. Heffelfinger, then age 18, pleaded guilty to two counts each of forceable rape and indecent sexual intercourse; aggravated assault; aggravated indecent assault; voluntary deviate sexual intercourse; and unlawful restraint. Wayne J. Heffelfinger was sentenced only to 5-10 years in prison, with 5 years probation thereafter. Heffelfinger also was declared to be a sexually violent predator, and assessed with a greater-than-average risk to reoffend.

In 2003, Wayne Joseph Heffelfinger, then age 16, had approached an 8 year-old boy unknown to Heffelfinger, and attempted to get that boy to play a game. Eventually, Heffelfinger offered the boy $50.00 to show Heffelfinger the boy's hideout in nearby woods. Once in the woods, Heffelfinger forced the boy to strip, threatening to choke him to death. Wayne J. Heffelfinger then sexually assaulted the boy; threatening to "hunt him down and kill him," if the boy told anyone. Heffelfinger allowed the boy to leave only after agreeing to meet Heffelfinger in the woods every few days. The naked boy eventually ride home on his bike. His mother immediately called police.

At a June 2003 preliminary hearing, the lead investigator testified that he recognized the boy's description of Wayne Heffelfinger, and that he knew that Heffelfinger had been in other sex-related incidents. Heffelfinger allegedly had exhibited homosexual aggression while in high school, and allegedly had been caught masturbating while peeping in a window.

At the 2004 sentencing hearing, Heffelfinger's parents, Wayne and Donna Heffelfinger, offered brief apologies and asked for leniency. "My son's a sweetheart, and I never would have expected that," the father told the judge. "I hope you have mercy on him and send him to a good place where he can get some help."

At some point, Wayne Heffelfinger was released from state prison on parole. However, in August 2013, the court revoked the probation and sentenced Heffelfinger to spend up to 23 months in the county prison after Heffelfinger admitted having gone into the Tamaqua Public Library. The library was off-limits to Heffelfinger because it's a place where children gather. At the August hearing, Heffelfinger told the judge he only went to the library to read newspapers.

At a 2014 parole hearing, Jehovah's Witness Minister Michael J. Halm testified that he had been Wayne Heffelfinger's spiritual adviser for three years while Heffelfinger was an inmate at Rockview state prison. Michael Halm said he had studied the Bible with Heffelfinger, and testified that Wayne Heffelfinger had come to understand the impact of his crime and was ready to change his life.

KANSAS v. MYOUN L. SAWYER, IN RE CARE & TREATMENT OF MYOUN L. SAWYER, ETC. are multiple Kansas state and federal judicial actions over the past 30 years. Myoun Sawyer has been in and out of prison since 1991 for either pleading guilty to or being convicted of attempted aggravated sexual battery, aggravated battery, domestic battery, eight counts of lewd and lascivious behavior, and criminal threat. In Re Care & Treatment of Sawyer determined that Sawyer qualified as a sexually violent predator (SVP), a person who Kansas law says "ha[s] a mental abnormality or personality disorder and [is] likely to engage in repeat acts of sexual violence if not treated for [his] mental abnormality or personality disorder." The Kansas Court of Appeals agreed with the trial court that there was overwhelming evidence that Mr. Sawyer was an SVP.

Myoun L. Sawyer was placed in the Sexual Predator Treatment Program (SPTP) in August 2011. Later, Sawyer served another criminal sentence in the custody of the Kansas Department of Corrections. Sawyer was returned to the SPTP at Larned State Hospital in October 2017. There, Sawyer "fellowships and studies with the Jehovah's Witnesses". Sawyer recently has engaged in open masturbation, inappropriate sexual comments to staff members, exposing himself, verbal abuse, threatening behavior toward peers and staff, screaming, and throwing feces. Myoun Sawyer looks forward to discharge from the system when he can attend his local Kingdom Hall and engage in field service.

ILLINOIS v. JASON M. GONZALEZ was a 2015 Illinois murder conviction. Jason Gonzalez was a mid-20s mentally ill homosexual who murdered his Uncle, whom previously had been permitting Gonzalez to live with his family. Uncle kicked Gonzalez out of the family home after discovering that Gonzalez was "fixated on children in the family". Jason Gonzalez's "fixation" included videotaping and photographing his nieces and nephews in their underwear. Gonzalez was observed touching them "inappropriately". Who knows what was occurring when and where there were no observers?

Jason M. Gonzalez was sentenced to 45 years in prison, where Gonzalez has befriended Charles Bocock (see below). Now, Gonzalez and Bocock have nothing better to do with their time than file federal lawsuits against prison officials in order to get access to WatchTower publications and worthless POS Jehovah's Witness prison proselytizers. Does anyone really believe that such legal actions are not instigated by those JWs?

JOHN DOE v. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY BOARD is an ongoing 2017-20 Massachusetts state court case which reveals yet another sex offender Jehovah's Witness prison convert working the system. (Doe was likely reared in a JW family.)

On July 30, 1989, around 4:30 A.M., 25 year-old John Doe broke into and entered the apartment of a 32 year-old woman. He held her at knifepoint, robbed her of $900, and raped her. Doe then fled from the apartment. Eight days later on August 7, 1989, John Doe entered a second building at around 2:15 A.M. Doe found his second victim, a 37 year old woman, asleep on the second floor of her in-law's house. Doe placed a knife at her throat, robbed her of $400, raped her, and fled. Doe was under the influence of crack cocaine during both attacks.

In June 1990, a Superior Court jury found Doe guilty of aggravated rape in connection with the second incident in August 1989. Doe was sentenced to a term of from twelve to thirty years in State prison. In March 1991, Doe pleaded guilty to aggravated rape for his actions in the first incident in July 1989. He was sentenced to a term of from fifteen to thirty years in State prison, to be served concurrently with the sentences imposed for the second incident.

As John Doe's release date neared, a hearing was held on July 19, 2016, at which time Doe was fifty-two years old. SORB classified him as a level three offender. Only one statutory high risk factor was present in the case, that is, factor 2, repetitive and compulsive behavior. The hearing examiner found that because the two offenses were committed eight days apart, Doe "had ample opportunity to reflect on the wrongfulness of his conduct." The hearing examiner gave this factor full aggravating weight, the highest weight under the applicable guidelines. In rendering his decision, the hearing examiner also considered a number of risk-elevating factors, including the fact that there were two stranger victims, threats, the use of a weapon and violence, the high level of physical contact, and Doe's history of alcohol and drug abuse. The examiner gave full aggravating weight to these risk-elevating factors. Additionally, the hearing examiner considered the fact that Doe had dropped out of sex offender treatment for several years while he pursued a college degree in prison, but acknowledged that he had actively participated since his return to treatment in 2014. The examiner gave Doe's treatment history only "minimal" weight. In a similar vein, Doe had had disciplinary reports in prison at one time, but had had none in the previous eight years.

The hearing examiner also weighed several risk-mitigating factors. He gave full weight to Doe's advanced age, to Doe's educational attainments, religious conversion, and regular participation in religious services as a Jehovah's Witness. He gave some mitigating weight to Doe's family and community support systems, but ultimately concluded that the mitigating factors were "far outweighed" by the aggravating factors, thus resulting in the level three classification.

Doe challenged the classification. The Massachusetts Superior Court affirmed the Sex Offender Registry Board's (SORB) classification of Doe as a level three sex offender. On appeal, the Massachusetts Court of Appeals reversed and remanded.

TIMOTHY BELL v. ILLINOIS DEPT OF HUMAN SERVICES is a 2014-15 Illinois federal civil court case which is related to the 2007 Illinois civil court case, ILLINOIS v. TIMOTHY BELL, and the 2002 Illinois criminal court case, ILLINOIS v. TIMOTHY BELL. In his most recent "jail house" lawsuit, the incarcerated Timothy Bell is suing in federal court to allow outside Jehovah's Witness Ministers to bring a portable "swimming pool" into the Rushville Detention and Treatment Facility, so that Timothy Bell can be "baptized" as an official member of the Jehovah's Witnesses. For unknown reasons, the Director of the RDTF has refused Bell's requests since 2013. What is the Rushville Detention and Treatment Facility, and what is Timothy Bell doing there, you ask?

Around 2002, Timothy Bell, then age 43, of Chicago, Illinois, was convicted of AGGRAVATED CRIMINAL UNLAWFUL RESTRAINT and AGGRAVATED CRIMINAL SEXUAL ASSAULT, committed back in May 1998 in Chicago, Illinois. Timothy Bell was sentenced to 8 years in state prison. In 2007, as Timothy Bell approached mandated early release from prison, the state of Illinois brought civil charges against Timothy Bell to have Bell adjudicated under Illinois law to be a SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERSON, which occurred in a 2007 jury trial. To be adjudicated a SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERSON, the State had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Timothy Bell had: (1) committed a sexually violent offense; (2) suffers from a mental disorder (Paraphilia NOS, Sexually Attracted to Non-Consenting Females); and, (3) is dangerous to others because the mental disorder creates a substantial probability that Plaintiff would engage in acts of sexual violence in the future. Under Illinois law, Timothy Bell was indefinitely incarcerated in the Rushville Detention and Treatment Facility until such time as it is determined that Timothy Bell is no longer a SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERSON, and he is "safe" to be either conditionally released or totally discharged from custody.

We simply want our readers to know that under the direction of the WatchTower Society, that the Elders at the Rushville, Illinois Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses are actively recruiting additional door-to-door Ministers from a state facility which solely incarcerates SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERSONS who after having served their prison term have been adjudicated to be too unsafe to be released into society. Additionally, despite the fact that the mere presence of an individual in this facility means that MULTIPLE PROFESSIONALS continue to judge that individual to be a SEXUALLY VIOLENT PERSON too unsafe for release into society, the WatchTower Society's own personnel have judged Timothy Bell to be worthy to become an official Jehovah's Witness Minister.

WILLIAM ERNEST SCOTT v. TEXAS PRISON was a successful 2010-11 Texas federal court civil rights lawsuit filed by the "unofficial" LEADER of the 23 Jehovah's Witness INMATES at the Huntsville, Texas state prison. William E. Scott and the other 22 Jehovah's Witness INMATES complained that the prison's policy which required that the JW Inmates could only hold their WatchTower meetings if such meetings were officiated by local Huntsville, Texas JW Elders Thelbert Blume or Jeff Syret was discriminatory given that Muslim inmates were permitted to hold their religious meetings without the presence of a "freeworld" Muslim clergyman.

Interestingly, William E. Scott (DOB 2/03/1959) was convicted in 1990 on two counts of AGGRAVATED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD. (One can't help but wonder whether the 23 inmates at this prison who are professing to be Jehovah's Witnesses anxiously looking forward to the day when they will be able to enter the WatchTower Society's "PARADISE" have more in common than just religious beliefs.) William Scott's current projected release date is June 2015, but he may have already been paroled at least once in the past.

QUEENSLAND v. SIMON VIZZARD (2002-2021) and MEXICO v. SIMON B. VIZZARD (2003-04) are related international criminal court cases which involve an INTERNATIONAL CHILD PREDATOR who CONVERTED to the WatchTower Cult while he was serving a lengthy prison sentence in Mexico for CHILD SEX ASSAULT. See Page 7 of this section.

QUEBEC v. DANIEL ROY was a SERIES of 4 QUEBEC criminal court convictions and imprisonments between 1983 and 1990 for RAPES and rape-related crimes such as kidnapping, breaking and entering (home invasion), robbery, etc. (Apparently "sodomy" is not a crime in Quebec, because if it were, Daniel Roy would have been so charged in each of the four trials. The fact that any criminal could be caught, prosecuted, and imprisoned FOUR TIMES for forcible rape and kidnapping within a seven year period in any country on planet Earth condemns the LIBERAL Quebec legal and judicial systems as operated by FOOLS.)

Prior to his first conviction and imprisonment, Daniel Roy (born 1957) had started "peeping" his three younger sisters when he was 13 years-old. Soon thereafter, until he left home around the age of 18, Dan Roy engaged in every manner of sexual activity with his three younger sisters. As an adult, Roy also was a regular "window peeper".

From 1992 to 1994, while serving time in prison, Daniel Roy is recruited by the Jehovah's Witnesses in Quebec, and converts.

In November 1995, Roy is released from prison on condition that he accept hormone therapy to reduce his deviant sex impulses.

QUEBEC v. DANIEL ROY was Roy's FIFTH conviction and imprisonment. In September 1997, Roy was caught for the intentionally targeted home invasion and RAPE of a law enforcement-employed female for which he finally would be incarcerated for an indeterminate period.

HOW MANY RAPES did this SCUMBAG commit and never got caught??? Why would any organization -- much less a religious organization that requires door-to-door ministry of its members -- knowingly recruit this SEXUAL PREDATOR???

CALIFORNIA v. AARON L. APODACA was a California 2005-08 criminal court case which provides additional proof that the WatchTower Cult could care less what worthless POSs that it recruits through its nationwide Prison Ministries, so long as the WatchTower Cult can report an increase in its numbers.

In August 2004, the state of California matched Aaron Apodaca's DNA to an unsolved HOME INVASION - RAPE/SODOMY that had been committed in Alameda County in June 1995. Apparently, Aaron Apodaca's DNA had been databased during this CAREER CRIMINAL's most recent conviction and imprisonment, which included prior convictions for auto and residential burglary, auto theft, forgery using another person's credit card, and possession of narcotics for sale. When California law enforcement finally found time in April 2005 to travel to Corcoran State Prison to arrest and question Aaron Apodaca for that 1995 HOME INVASION - RAPE/SODOMY, Aaron Apodaca apparently proudly started off the interrogation with his announcement that he recently had converted to the Jehovah's Witnesses there in Corcoran State Prison.

Aaron L. Apodaca, age 34, eventually was tried and convicted of one count of forcible rape committed during a residential burglary, and one count of forcible sodomy committed during a residential burglary. Apodaca was sentenced to 25 years-to-life on count one. Apodaca's sentence on count two is not known due to re-sentencing. In any event, hopefully this typical California, worthless Hispanic POS will never be paroled, and will never be found knocking doors for the WatchTower Cult. (Notably, Apodaca's re-sentencing was appealed all the way to SCOTUS -- cert denied October 2008.)

BRITISH COLUMBIA v. DAVID BRUCE JENNINGS was a Canadian December 2011 "breach of recognizance"prosecution to which David B. Jennings, then age 48, pled guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. David Jennings was then an "untreated" PEDOPHILE with a lengthy criminal record of sexually assaulting children of all ages and both sexes. In 1985, Jennings was convicted of fondling the genitals of two sisters -- 3 years-old and 5 years-old -- after gaining the trust of their parents, and being invited to stay at their home. In 1992, Jennings gained the trust of another family whom invited him to stay at their home. Jennings was later convicted of fondling the genitals of their 4 year-old daughter and 5 year-old son. In March 2011, Jennings again gained the trust of a family with five young children, and was invited to stay with them. Jennings was later convicted of fondling their 8 year-old son. Jennings also has numerous convictions for breach of probation for contacting children -- including joining churches and engaging in church activities which would permit Jennings to teach and babysit children.

Jennings first relocated to Kamloops in 1998 after the Edmonton Police Department released a "Public Notification" to warn the public that Jennings was an untreated sex offender who posed a risk to local children. Between 1998 and 2012, Jennings had continuous interactions with the police and the British Columbia judicial system. In mid-2011, Jennings was again found to be establishing contacts with children and was incarcerated. In October 2011, Jennings was again released from jail. The Kamloops Police Department issued a "Public Notification" to warn the community of the risk posed by Jennings, and included information about Jennings' modus operandi. Only two months later, in mid-December 2011, Jennings was arrested for the umpteenth time, and again pled guilty to "breach of recognizance" for hosting at his apartment "an adult Jehovah's Witness and a 13 year old boy". Thereafter, Jennings had contact with additional children at a Kamloops Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses. That court record noted that "Jennings had initially lied to the RCMP about the circumstances" -- whatever that means. (Everyone who believes that that was the first and only time that Jennings had hosted Jehovah's Witnesses at his apartment, and that that was the first and only time that Jennings had attended a meeting at a Kingdom Hall, please send us your names and contact info so that we can sell such to Nigerian Jehovah's Witnesses.) Maybe, in addition to reforming its internal handling procedures regarding its own pedophiles, the WatchTower Society needs to begin training its door-to-door recruiters how to recognize and avoid CHILD PREDATORS who seek to exploit the eagerness of HALF-WIT Jehovah's Witnesses to make friends with just about anyone willing to listen to their foolishness for more than 30 seconds.

****************

ILLINOIS v. CHARLES F. BOCOCK is an ongoing 2013-17 Illinois criminal prosecution. In June 2013, Charles Bocock, then age 35, of Chicago, Illinois, was arrested during a police online sting on charges of Indecent Solicitation of a Child, Traveling to Meet a Minor, and Unlawful Grooming. Charles Bocock allegedly had been attempting to meet up with a 12 year-old girl for sex. After Bocock was arrested, police searched his Chicago home and reportedly found numerous images of child pornography. Still awaiting trial, in a May 2017 media article, Bocock is quoted as saying that he passes time by "exploring his spiritual options through study and practice of Jehovah's Witness theology". It is unclear whether Charles Bocock was a Jehovah's Witness prior to being arrested, or whether Bocock is yet another jailed potential convert being proselytized by the WatchTower Cult.

******************

NEW JERSEY v. WILLIAM F. DYKEMAN was the 2002-05 New Jersey criminal prosecution and conviction of SERIAL RAPIST William Dykeman, then age 43, of Asbury Park, New Jersey, on various charges relating to FOUR separate "VIOLENT, CRUEL" ABDUCTIONS and RAPES. Bill Dykeman was sentenced to a minimum of 27 years and maximum of 31 years in state prison. William Dykeman has used his prison term to become a devout Jehovah's Witness minister.

******************

FLORIDA v. JAMES HUDSON SAVAGE was a 1988-90 Florida criminal court case in which this NOW NATURALLY DECEASED, ONE MAN CRIME WAVE, Australian National was convicted of robbery, rape, and murder, and initially sentenced to the death penalty. Also multiple previous convictions and incarcerations. Savage had been brought to the United States by his adoptive Christian Missionary parents. The following pre-trial edited excerpt from the ORLANDO SENTINEL speaks for itself:

Joy From, a 46-year-old Jehovah's Witness, says she knows and loves a different James Hudson Savage. [Joy] From, who has visited Savage in the Brevard County jail nearly every day for 10 months, said he is "so gentle, so tender ... I can't believe they have portrayed him to be a monster like they have". Savage is accused of murdering Barbara Ann Barber, a Brevard County interior decorator, last Thanksgiving eve. [Joy] From met Savage through her ministry work nearly a year ago. She was distributing pamphlets door to door in Melbourne when a man asked her if she was aware that one of his fellow countrymen, an Australian, was in jail. The man showed her a clipping about Savage's Nov. 23 arrest. [Joy] From said she wrote Savage and sent him a religious pamphlet. He wrote back immediately, she said, and their jailhouse visits began. Now she sees him nearly six times a week, discussing religion, his boyhood and his case. ... [Joy] From has been instrumental in bringing Savage's case to the forefront in Australia through her letters and telephone calls. She said she also has fought here to make sure that he is treated adequately, writing letters to jail administrators and state prison inspectors about his confinement. [Joy] From describes her relationship with Savage, whom she calls Jamie, as "as close as two people can get. Our love is stronger and greater than the oneness you share in a marriage". But she could not marry Savage unless he became a Jehovah's Witness because her religion prohibits interfaith marriages, she said. "People ask me if I'm not afraid of him because of all the terrible things he's supposedly done. I ask them, 'Are you afraid of a teddy bear?', because that's what he is, just a teddy bear", she said. "I can tell you from knowing Jamie as I do, there is no way he could have hurt anyone", From said. She said she hopes the truth will prevail during the trial and that Savage will be freed.
