This 49 year old should hook up with "thong guy" written up in the Journal a few weeks back. They might be compatible.

I really don't think the issue is what this man was planning. By law she is an adult and it is non of our business.
It is unfortunate that this had to happen....maybe he will seek a relationship with someone his own age after this.

In this state prostitution is still ILLEGAL, if the 49-year old was engaged in an illegal activity, that negates his 'Victim' status.

I like how everyone assumes that he was up to some nefarious deed just because he was talking to someone through craigslist. Maybe he was trying to sell his tv on craigslist, and that's why she was coming to town and knew to take it. also, I don't like knowing the morality police (puddlejumper) are roaming around judging everyone.

Yeah if he had his new TV up for sale on craigs that is certainly something a 19 year old girl would be interested in. Since the FFPD is continuing to investigate perhaps someone is afraid to clear the air and fill us all in. Just a block away from this location they found a box of toys a couple weeks back, did someone advertise those on craigs list yet?

Sure ting otterfan, I have since realized that yours was not a Freudian, just 3rd grade grammar and spelling abilities. Obviously when you wrote that 'Nobody knows why she was up here' that didn't mean here as in your place. It follows along with 'non' equals none, and no is supposed to mean know. As for the scenario.....
It is still quite obvious that a 49 year old overweight bum arranged to meet a supposedly 19 year old girl in his residence at 9:40pm on a Wednesday night. That girl supposedly travelled from the twin-cities to meet with a 'man' 30 years older than her....A) to buy a TV or cellphone? or B) to have a consensual relationship? or C) to eat a pizza together? or D) in answer to a personals ad on craigslist where the exchange of money would coincide with some sort of encounter between the 49 year old and a teenager? or E) a set-up from the beginning in a bizarre plot to fleece a 49 year old man out of his prized TV? or F) an S&M encounter arranged on craigslist which got out of control...Did he enjoy being head locked by a girl?
If you have the craigslist ad for either of the parties please do post it so we can know for sure what led to the encounter.

For an old guy, i guess that would be worth a TV and a cell phone, but i don't think he got what he wanted...

Posted by Generally_Misunderstood (anonymous) on August 22, 2008 at 2:54 p.m. (Suggest removal)

Norse, I do agree with you that if there is a danger to the public we have a right to know. But as of right now the only thing that has been presented to the public is that an individual was assaulted by two others after placing an ad of some sort. Anything beyond that is nothing more then extrapolation on the posters part.

Unless charges are brought up against this individual for whatever reason, it does no good to post libelous messages against someone as a few of you have. Yes, it may have been this individual you speak of, but until charges are levied for anything nefarious, it's best not to mount your posse and start on a witch hunt based on whatever perceptions or previous misdeeds. I think a few of you have forgotten the fundamental guiding principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' Yes if there is a sexual predator on the loose as a parent I want them tagged and monitored. But nothing more then a rumored consenting adults hooking up is none of my business. If this is what was the original idea behind the ad and meeting then great. Because it was a positive outlet for this individual instead of preying on others as a few have alluded to. Sex between consenting adults paid or not is a victim-less crime.

Good website for future use. Thank you.

But I see nothing under the name previously given that alludes to any sexual perversion. What am I missing? So again I refer to my previous statement about assumptions on this particular police call. I don't know this person nor have I ever had contact. So while having a nefarious background may be deemed karma coming back to haunt this individual, I just don't believe it's anyone's business to speculate what happened that could tarnish someone's reputation. Just look at the LRH/FFMG lock down situation or recent weeks, what could have been a simple misunderstanding has destroyed the reputation and career of a community member. If there was truth to it, then it needed to be confirmed by those in a position to do so, not the general public to play nothing but a glorified game of telephone.

I just advise caution because you never know when you could be in the opposite role having your own character called into question unjustly.

It’s not about being embarrassed or ashamed; it’s not about wanting the person to be nailed. It IS about taking responsibility for bringing a relative from an un-acceptable position into an acceptable place in society. Defending them under the law and behind a license to practice law does nothing to protect the public in general. Sure anyone who knows the history, tendencies, and personality of such a person can take actions to keep the ones close to them from being a party to his/her actions. What about the people who do not know the history, tendencies, and personality of such a lurker? When such a lurker frequents locations where youth gather, or even sets up a business selling products that attract our young people...Are the unwitting not at a high risk of becoming ensnared by that which some people could have protected them from?
Have victims in the past been encouraged with money to not testify or press charges against the lurker, thus preventing the proper charges from being filed, or the proper sentence from being applied?

These are the reasons some might be selfishly responsible for enabling the actions and danger to continue.

While I am a firm believer in Love the sinner, and rebuke the sin, we must first identify the sin and let it be seen for what it is. Only then can the true power of forgiveness be realized.

I'm surprised the story was even posted like this but to even say anything about where the person met this girl is not relevant even though it is a little odd we hear about it all the time in big cities I live in Norfolk, VA. I'm pretty sure I know who this is to the man who sits on the street corner I moved out of Fergus Falls due to there's alot of bad people moving in it use to be so peaceful.

sounds to me like jobless bums complaining about a wealthy man dating younger women. these thieves should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. sleazy women shouldn't be allowed to steal just because a man has earned a decent living.

I know that my daughter went to Java 101 and he was always there and made the comment that she was "HOT", but she was also only 15 years old. If my son did even half the things that this guy did, they would have him locked away someplace.

almanza, so true.... i moved to saint cloud to get away from all the crap in fergus. It felt as if all the gutter trash was moving in, all the kids with potential and people were moving out, The town is dying.... Sad when a city by and by should be thriving like alexandria, is dying... do you remember when alexandria first got their wal mart and went super. DO YOU SEE ALL THE OTHER STORES and businesses that have sprung up next to it now. People do you see how its grown in a mere ten years....

Then why on earth would people want to fight walmart becoming super, why on earth would we let the city council make stupid decisions.. Checks and balances... city council doesn't have their job forever, if they are doing a horse crap job then the people in their ward need to get together and start signing and asking for a resignation...

THE CITY IS DYING... and the people, and the city government are doing nothing to stop it....

I personally dealt with this man this is why I say this he tried to hold my hand when I was 14 years old needless to say my mother went down there and threatened him. He's crazy! I am a military wife and live in VA now trust me it's not like we don't have crime but FF is a small town and needs to deal with this man say put him into JAIL and he should be taught that this is a lesson learned no man this age in their right mind would go for a girl this young especially one who is as broke as he is. LOL!!!!!!!

So, I guess if the man is wealthy,it's ok then?

almanza: This man may not be wealthy, but shares the last name of a very prominent Fergus Falls family who has owned a business on Lincoln Ave. that bears the family last name and has been around for ever---this guy is a relative of their's. That is why the FFDJ did not publish his name---lest the FFDJ tarnish the name of these prominent people!!
Like I said before he was a creep even in high school 32 years ago and is still getting by with it!!

doctipster: This guy is not gutter trash that moved in to FF--He was born in FF!!! The family name is old FF!!

Killdeer I never said it would be ok if it happened to a wealthy man but the girls obviously knew they were dealing with a perv who really needed to be taught a lesson. I know how FF works everyone who gives money to the community is left untouched but someone who doesn't is harrassed by the police.

In my experience, there is not a family around who does not have a few skeletons in their closets, or a few family members who have caused grief and heartache to their families all their lives. Sometimes people just fall thru the cracks, until something major occurs. IMO, it's a dangerous precedent to start locking people up for things they haven't done, just MIGHT do...what a witch hunt that could become!

The only problem with Fergus Falls is everyone knows something before you do. You could be pregnant and the doctor hasn't called you with the news but your neighbor already knows, I personally know someone who had that happen there. Most of the teenage girls are pregnant there, and theres alot of crime that happens in this small town. That's because they know they can get help there say WELFARE and this guy continues to live downtown with all the stuff he does wrong. It makes me sick and everyone doesnt say anything.

maybe you guys can just let this go already. this story is over a month old and you're still cat-fighting over the whole thing. i'm sorry you have nothing better to do in your lives, but its time to move on.
