During my interrogation by the FBI back in November, I was asked by one agent if I believed it’s okay to have sex with children.

I said I did not.

She went on to ask if I believed that an attraction to minors is natural, and I said I didn’t believe it was unnatural, though the thought makes most people in our society uncomfortable.

The PSI report puts the conversation differently:

When asked if he thought the pictures of an adult male having sexual intercourse with a minor child were okay, [he] replied in his opinion, ‘society has not caught up with something that is natural.’

My lawyer corrected the report at my request, though he seemed to think that addressing the misquote during sentencing would prove useless, maybe even detrimental. My judge, he said, has a history of getting on tangents and attacking defendants if he thinks they’re lying. And even if he did believe me, even if we could convince him that I pose no physical threat to society, my lawyer says it wouldn’t likely change the outcome of my sentence.
