Bernie Ward and "Sexfairy"

Sometimes, you just have to go on a hunch. When the Department of Justice announced the indictment against Bernie Ward for child pornography in December, they issued a news release. At the time, a line at the bottom caught our attention: “… with the assistance of the Oakdale, Calif., Police Department.” We called the police in December and got confirmation the case started with a complaint from the town outside Modesto. Fast forward to last week – I decided to head to Oakdale and see what I could find. Who was the woman who filed the complaint?

Stopped at a diner, hit City Hall and the police department, spoke to some officers, and filed a California Public Records Act request for the police report. I didn’t really expect to get anything. Well, after consulting with the FBI, the Oakdale police did provide the report, and it was a disturbing 23 pages to read – disturbing in many ways. First, the detail and the variation of what Bernie Ward apparently told the woman from Oakdale, who used the screen name “Sexfairy”. Second, this is a man I know. I’ve appeared on Ward’s program to discuss other I-Team investigations. Now, I was investigating him.

Our legal analyst Dean Johnson says today’s revelations knock down Ward’s claim that he was researching a book. I remembered what an FBI agent told me a few weeks ago – he worked child pornography for years. He said that’s the second most common excuse a person uses when caught with child porn – “I was doing research.” The number one excuse? “That’s not mine” or “I didn’t know it was there.”

I’ve been exchanging e-mails with Ward the past couple weeks, trying to get him to tell his side of the story. He’s been very responsive – we’ve had several exchanges. And, I pressed the point today. But, he decided to go with the advice of his attorneys and declined to be interviewed on the record.

Bernie has been blogging periodically in an effort to get support for his case. You can see his site here.

I have pity for people like him. Such as, what miserable existence leads to such sickening behavior? What must it be like to gloss over so dark a soul with cries for the poor like a shining night leading throngs of lefties like lemings to the cliff? Pity? Yes. Mercy? NO!

[Matt]

I sincerely think it is absolutely pathetic that he is free on bail.

No excuse for that. None at all.

Zero tolerance for kiddie porn. No exceptions.

"..by all accounts this was his first time.."

How do you know this?

I had never heard of this Slime-Bucket until he was mentioned on talk radio. It is very worrisome how this case has received so little press. It has essentially been covered-up by the major LSM (lamestreammedia), and we know why.. Ward happens to be a raving, hard-core Liberal mouth piece for the Lunatic Left Hate Machine..with ties to "specially protected" sexual Deviants, as well as to Dem-Senator B.B. Yet, why do we continue to hear about an unknown Rep who touched a man's foot in a public restroom, while this Pervert is still living in the same house with children.. Hint..I just heard that a certain female US Senator is blocking this case, and its investigation..

This is not about the political right or left. It's about a simple man struggling with good and evil in soul. He sat down at his computer and thought he could liberate this evil part of himself without being caught. It's disgusting, degrading and repulsive. But and maybe to a lesser degree, it is a part of all of us.

He hated anything conservative clearly because it threatened his very nature (no morals, no boundaries).

No Bob, I have no interest kiddie, dominatrices, or group sex. The latter two are OK for others where consenting adults are concerned. My dark side is that I want kiddie porn traffickers locked up.

Janet Joslin. It's like a death in the family, isn't it? A liberal hypocrit gets shot down... And you attempt to smear the good name of Michael Savage. ('Cause you think you're not one of "those people".) You have never seen corrupt behavior you couldn't countenance. You are sad. You should learn some humility.

[Burt Ward]

Scum of the earth. Burn in hell, Bernie!

[Buckwheat]

Hmmm. I never heard of the guy, but I don't live in Calliphornia either.
He must be a big liberal though. I know, because if he was a "Conservative" talk show host -- that would have been the introduction in the first sentence in the first paragraph of the story!
The title of the story would have been: "Conservative talk show host into perverted kiddy-porn!!"

[Lint]

So let me get this straight...the feds waited three (3) years to prosecute Bernie Ward and now he is under home surveillence. Now, I know we are dealing with the federal government of the Katrina era, but if the evidence is so damning, why did they wait so long? Something does not add up here.

[Mediaaddict]

Amazing ! It took about 8 or 9 posts to get Bush involved ! I think some of you need to read the entire 23 pages posted at Michael Savage's website. See what you think then.

[Counselor]

I am glad that most of you have no background or experience with this personally or with friends or family. Let me tell you, it's worse than crack or heroin. People have no idea how powerful is the lure of pornography. Pornography will get you sucked in so fast and dominate your life that you will do things that you never thought possible. I am sure that a few years ago that Mr. Ward would have never, ever in his worst moments thought that he was capable of what he is accused of doing. I'm not saying that he did or didn't. He'll have his day in court. But if he did these things, and he knows if he did or didn't, the best thing for him to do is admit it and get some help. I have not had the problem myself, but I have counseled many people who have had it. I know men that have lost their jobs, their marriages, their family. One guy I know who was brillant in his field is now seemingly without a soul. IF Bernie did it, he is lucky he got caught when he did, without help or intervention it would have only gotten worse.

[Ed]

This is disgusting. If he did this and it looks as if he did, then his prison stay will be eternal hell. Do you know what they do to Child pornographers in prison. He is going to get what he deservs. And one day the tyranny of evil men will be exposed and they will pay with their blood. See Ya Ward!!!

[Ed]

The entire script 23 pages was horrible, masturbating in front of his childre, spying on naked childre spending the night, trying to get one of the childre to jack him off, this guy is sick. And I see the defense about pornography has already started. There is no defense for wanting to have sex with 12 and 14 years old girls. Only Death.

MichaelSavage.com is posted a copy of the 23-page police report from the Oakdale PD. In it Ward admits to engaging in sex with men in adult theaters, watching his son and another boy masturbating, and wanting to give his son oral sex.

It is amazing to hear people apologize for this sick pervert. Read the whole police report. He should not be within 100 yards of minors, including his own children who were part of his sick fantasies, apparently. Pious and pompous he was on the air, attacking anyone who did not see the world through his extreme left viewpoint. Peace, love and making the world a better place for children. Really? I guess that ideology only applies to the rest of us, not the almighty Bernie Ward, who preached it with such conviction.

Just take a look at this freak, why is anyone surprised. He reeks of sicko.

[George]

Oh Poor poor Bernie. Let this be a lesson to others. I wish more of these people making comments would admonish this guy. If it looks, walks and quaks like a duck, then ITS A DUCK!

HE SENT THE PICTURES. PERIOD. HE COULD HAVE SAID NO. Did Bush somehow make him do this? LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS.

[Big Dog]

So if this guy is only allowed to use his computer for work what is he doing writing on a blog about Marines in Berkeley.

Someone needs to report this pervert for violating the terms of the court.

He is busy writing about the immoral war as if sexually exploiting children makes him an angel.

[Judy]

Wonder what would happen to poor Bernie, and the people with his "problem".. if they happened to live in a country with shriah law, instead of the Peoples Republic of "Calliphonia" represented by Senator Barb B. and her ilk..

[Just Say No to Pedophiles]

Big Dog asks
"So if this guy is only allowed to use his computer for work what is he doing writing on a blog about Marines in Berkeley."

He is still a journalist. The site with blog used to contain a pitch for donations to his defense fund (run by his lawyer Brother), an events section that promoted a support Bernie rally (was cancelled), and a blog where the dupes could write about how this twisted sister was set up by the government. That's all gone now.
