This chilling line was written in an email now convicted pedophile Louis ReVille sent to his victims and parents on October 27, 2011, the day before he was arrested.
In yet another case, we are able to gain some insight into the mind of a pedophile. However, I must caution you - the text of the letter is graphic, painful and frightening to read.
I have been extremely cautious to make this portion as palatable as possible.
He breaks down his email with headers:
The Beginning
Pandora's Box
Covering up
Apology
Forgiving
However, more appropriate titles would have been:
Vascilating
Justifying
Denying/Projection
Threatening
Vascilating
He vacillates between accepting responsibility and shirking it. At the beginning he seems to take full responsibility for his actions:
I deserve no pity. I am in the wrong. I am the bad guy. Your sons are not to fault at all. You are not to blame. You trusted me, you befriended me and I betrayed you and your son.
However, in the next section, he begins making excuses and backpeddling:
The [games] only took place that season and only with a few of the players
In the very next sentence
I should have been the adult but I failed
Justifying
And then there are the justifications for his actions
I took the opportunity to get down to their level...I thought maybe these boys wouldn't have shared these questions if I had acted more of an adult
Denying/Projection
Yes, if they felt the need to expose themselves for the "points game" or handle themselves, I allowed it. No I never once asked to see their genitals.
Threatening/Bribing
Getting law enforcement and news media will only draw attention to the boys, your family, my school, church and family, and they do not deserve this negative attention. I am at your mercy. You want me to seek therapy, I will do it, You want me to move. I will start immediately...As for the boys, will pay for any therapy they need
ReVille was sentenced to 50 years in prison after pleading guilty to 22 child-sex charges in the Lowcountry in June.
