just a question of curiosity? I know its illegal for sexual offenders to be PHYSICALLY in certain locations, but is there any law against them having internet accounts, so long as they arent on sites catering to chidlren?
http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/crime/12473015-418/law-and-order-lake-county.html
"A former Crown Point man convicted in federal court of possessing child pornography is being investigated after Lake County police learned he had established a Facebook page, in violation of laws prohibiting sex offenders from participating in social networking sites."

aparently yes. in Illinois since 2009
http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-500163_162-5241163.html

sorry I don't know how to post the links.. its been a long time since I tried to post one on here.

Again, for the reading comprehension impaired, not you, Izzie, it is illegal for a sexual predator to have an unregistered profile on ANY public site. Be it a child or adult site.

They/he had to have registered ANY name he/ they are using.

I am going to find his publisher and ask Amazon to take his books off the shelves.

I haven't been here for quite some time and doubt there are many who remember me. Since leaving, I've remained in contact with a few Mingle folks...several of them I consider good friends. "Lex" was one of those people. "Lex" did not exist.

I came across the news video Sunday night in the process of googling for "Lex's" website. After having thought I knew him for the last several years, I was & remain shaken. Since then, I've been reminded by a friend of all the 'red flags' I should be watching for in on-line dating...and when I was actively searching for a potential romantic relationship, I did watch for them. "Lex" had multiple 'red flags'. I never had a romantic interest in the man known as "Lex". Our limited relationship was one of friendship. Is that why I didn't concern myself with his many 'red flags'? I suppose so. I am still trying to sort through all of the feelings I have regarding this. Guess I'd hoped returning here would help with that...so many here are experiencing the same feelings.

The words of caution here are wise & warrant repeating...and they should be applied to all relationships we may form on-line, be they friendship or romance. It is obvious that I personally needed to have them burned into my memory. Well, this revelation has done just that.

As for Keith Willis, with all my heart I hope he never lays eyes on a child again. What he & his brother have committed is murder, but worse. The children they have victimized have essentially died - they will never be who they might have become. The memories they have to carry could surely deaden a soul. Couple that with the possibility that those victims may grow up to victimize even more children, & the enormity of their crimes terrifies & sickens me. That some pedophiles may respond to some treatment is no comfort...not when 100% of their victims are destroyed. There is deep sympathy in my heart for the victims, but I can't find any for Keith or his brother. Neither my heart nor my stomach is that strong. If they were, as some experts theorize, victims themselves as children, then I admit to having sympathy for the children they were...but NEVER for the monsters they have become.

In the past, it was often difficult for me to understand the hard line the powers-that-be here took with Mingle members. Just want to say, I understand it now. I may not agree with some of the actions taken, but I do understand.

My sympathies to all who have been hurt by this. It has been a horrifying revelation. Hoping we can share some kindness with each other as we navigate this. Though some more than others, it's effected us all in some way on a personal level. :heart:

Whatever online sites he had books on, but he used one of those do-it-yourself sites(it's listed on Amazon where it says publisher)

Unfortunatly Illinois law states that anyone convicted AFTER a certain date? I do not remember..but in 2010, is prohibited from all social media sites regardless of name used.

So, I don't think he would be in violation on that...but, he is in violation of not registering any other alias' with the sex offender registry. He also is in violation of using UNREGISTERED names on internet sites. So, he is in violation...but, it is not true that any sexual offender cannot go to social network sites. Those convicted after 2010 can if they use their registered names.

It is in here somewhere I think where I read that.

Yes, CreateSpace is a website that allows people to publish their own books. Amazon was just the seller, as well as other companies like Barnes and Nobles.

I know of another alias that he used, I wonder if the police know about it, or of it was ever registered. I am going to take a wild guess and say since Lex Fonteyen never was then this one might not be as well...
