Maybe they have the highest recidivism rate because it is fueled by a primal emotion?
I am shocked, didn't really "know" the guy, just thought he was an author. Astounded. |

It seems some of you would rather make excuses then acknowledge that you can be completely fooled. It's a scary thought, ain't it? Well... Time for me to disappear again. Obviously everyone here was fooled. That's clear from all the responses. I can't say I suspected THIS, but I always felt there was something "off"... |

So he was a true blue author? He looked more like a blacksmith to me. Whenever the cops would show up....he would make a bolt for the door! Is it too soon for jokes lol

Sickens me even more by the ones defending someone so evil as to take the heart and soul out of an innocent child! Do you not get it? He molested children! He was convicted for that! He got off on seeing infants raped, beaten and in some cases killed!!! What is to defend? FEEL sorry for LEX???? NO WAY! That is not even his name for peats sake! Thats is not his AGE! He knew he was suppose to NOT have an alias because his red=gistration is what is suppose to PROTECT the public!!! He is an evil man. He has lied to everyone! He did not belong here! He knew that! Stop the pathetic excuses and sympathy for him before I UPCHUCK!!!! 
Thank you Angel,I totaly agree!!He did not fool people.He flat out lied and was deceptive,and people believed him. Yes ,he stated many times that he didn't want a woman with children.That shows me that he was totaly aware of what he was doing! I call (bull Shi## on learning his lesson! Thrilled he was deactivated so fast! |

Upset...........sickened.............shocked..........annoyed.........PLAYED!!!
We used to talk a lot on here and I didn't have any second thoughts until a few months ago when I tried to do a search on him and NOTHING came up but his profiles on dating sites and his books. And now finding this out...... Yeah, I got to go puke. |

Just because a man doesn't want women with children, dosn't mean there is something wrong with him, many guys want their own offspring.
ok, this guy had different reasons, but you can't label every guy the same. |

Have you actually read the article provided in the OP? There certainly was something very, very wrong with him. |

I left here awhile back because I've found someone to share my life with & stepped away from the dating sites. This Lex/Keith deal has brought me back to where I met him first. I never did really get his dry sense of humor until just recently we'd started talking a little more. I felt I was finally starting to "get" him & understand him better & thought he wasn't as arrogant as he'd appeared earlier. Now, I wonder I've heard he's been talking a lot more lately. Maybe that's what clued someone in. In just a matter of 2-3 months I felt I was getting to know him better than I ever had in the 2+ years I've known him online. Guess it took him getting braver & letting his guard down to be caught. I commend the admins & moderators for such a swift job on this matter. Remember folks the admins & mods are just as shocked & fooled as we all are. They're victims of deceit as well.

So he was a true blue author? If true blue author means self published, then yes. |

I never spoke to him in all my years on here so I'm not missing him at all. Just shocked this could happen though

Thank You Charles for posting and making everyone aware....and the admins decision to do what needed to be done!

So he was a true blue author? If true blue author means self published, then yes.  Glad someone finally pointed this out!...If his writing was successful, I doubt he would have found it necessary to work in a vacuum cleaner store or reside in a homeless shelter......

When I first heard this news on Facebook, I saw it on my way out the door, all day long it played heavy on my mind. When I got home, I had to re-watch the new clip to make sure what I was real. I sat there tears started streaming from my eyes. I hardly slept last night because I was so up set. This news even made me physically sick! Thinking about all the times I talked to him and confided in him. All the hours I spent talking to him on the phone at that very same vacuum shop, and even on his cell. I was one of a very few he apparently gave a phone number to. Even one call to the shop somebody referred to him as Keith, and he said it was his middle name or something. At that time I just kinda blew it off. All the hours I spent on the phone to publishers to help him get his first book, "Moving Day" published. ****! Tears are still flowing. I have not slept because this different events keep replaying in my head.
Yesterday something inside me was taken. Not a man or even a friend, but trust. I have myself have learned a very valuable lesson here. NEVER ever EVER ignore red flags NEVER. If your gut is telling you something FOLLOW IT! Keith fooled a lot of us. Through his posts, and his intelligent use of words. It is going to take me a very long time to get over this. My heart is broken. This was a guy after a long bad day, I could come to and for some reason he would make things feel better. Damn what an idiot I am. Non of you may remember who the hell I am as i hardly ever come on here anymore,but I for some reason needed to come back to the place where I first met this man. And I know I am not the only one who's life he touched. In times like this I think it best to build a support group, as I know MANY are in shock, hurting, and even grieving over this. I know that he has told me some truths, but as well it is proven that he has told me many lies as well. As he did with many of us. There is NO I repeat NO excuse for what he did, non whatsoever. He is a sick, sick man. But at the same time, I think with him taking time out to talk to each one of us, WE took the time away from him to be able to scan the internet. The more he posted on here, or on Facebook, or where ever, that is time taken away from him to be able to do any harm to another child, or for him to even think about it. So I am going to ease my mind just a TAD by thinking without even knowing we did SOME little bit of good for society just by talking to him. Sure knowing the truth hurts, like it does in any situation, and it may be a long while before any of us learn to trust again online. I just cannot believe that this is a man that I use to have feelings for! I would say that I am in shock, but I think that I am WAY beyond that. I am dumbfounded. |

His profile that was pages and pages long... |

(((Whisper)))...I don't know you, but your words have touched me....deeply...What you just said is what I have be thinking about ever since I learned of this...The people here on Mingle who interacted with Willis and how hurt they must be!...Those who befriended him, confided in him!!...What a clever and manipulative man he is!...Until the hurt passes, take good care of yourself....Mingling will help, there are many good people here.....

  ((((((Whisper))))) & ((((((Eileen))))))
I see so many here say that they "never interacted with him much" and this is a testimonial type site. So I will admit that I was one who thought I knew him "well" or as well as you can know someone soley online that you haven't talked to in a few years. I joined Mingle back when it was "Justsayhi" and one of the first threads I EVER spoke in was a pirate/llama/rum thread with Eileen, Whisper, Burgandybry, Captain and "Lex." This was my first introduction to "online dating" and the whole online scene. A year or so later I met my now husband on here, and have not been here for a good number of years, but still talked to many I had met on here, including "Lex." There are not words for the betrayal that I (and so many others) are feeling at this exact moment. Love, hugs, and  for my friends (and those who I have not met) who are feeling similarly saddened, sickened, outraged and... There are not words for the emotions I am currently feeling.
Thank you Charles, and Admin for your swift actions in this matter. |

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,,, |
