How Worried Should I Be (possible Pediphile Boyfriend!!) Posted: 09-07-05 01:38am
I've recently discovered that my boyfriend
has been looking at all kinds of
provocative pictures of little girls on
the internet. I discovered this when I
clicked on the "recent searches" icon on
my computer. There are all kinds of
searches he has made, such as "nude child
models" , "top child and pret-teen girl
models" etc. I've clicked on some of
these links to see what exactly it is he
is looking at, and I find all sorts of
websites with pictures of little
girls(around ages 8-14 ) wearing skimpy
outfits and sometimes nothing at
all.!!!!!!
Im really freaked out!! How worried
should I be about this?. I mean, I don't
really know much about what goes through a
man's mind since im not a man. Maybe
this is a little more normal than I think
it is? But I don't know and it's really
disturbing to me.
Then there is the age difference between
the two of us. Im 18 and he is 23. I
never thought much of it until now. We
met on the internet two years ago. It
was an out-of-nowhere kind of thing. I
was on the internet one night at about 2
in the morning and I guess he had been
looking through the member directory for
people to talk to. He found my profile
and thought we had a lot in common, so he
instand messaged me and it all started
from there. This was when I was 16 and
he was 21, of coarse, and once we got to
know each other more, we were both a
little skeptical about our age difference,
but didn;t really care much since we ened
up eventually falling in love anyhow.
What proves that your it was your
boyfriend looking for this? Maybe it
wasn't him. But don't directly yell at
your brother or father or anything lol.
I suggest to not talk about it. You
weren't supposed to sneak around to find
that anyway. Even then it's not because
he watched some childs that he's a
pedophile. And there's also not
necessarily a link with you.
I sometimes surprise myself surfing on
rotten.Com, and I hate those kind of
pictures. Or a site about spiders (i hate
them too). I was just curious, even if I
don't like it. Maybe it was the same case
for him. Just curious. Temporary.
Just let it go for this time and erase
your history. But if the problem occurs
again you should ask him "i sometimes have
weird searches in my browser. Do you know
anything about it?"
or
you "make a search" in front of him and
say like "oh, what's that? What does that
mean?"
but anyway, as a guy, I really don't think
it's a huge problem. Just some
curiosity.
(info: for guys, internet and girlfriend
are worlds of difference. There is mostly
no link between them. When I watch some
porn, I am not thinking about my
girlfriend. At all. Not even like "would
be cool if it were her and me". She just
doesn't exist during that moment.
I think that guys have that special
"switch" that can make them focus on one
thing and forget all the rest. That's why
guys forget birthdays, don't listen when
there busy, and also are able to recover
faster from bad news (because all they
have to do is for example play a video
game and they forget problems: focus on
video game))

Temporary.
there has been more than one incident of
this. Lately, when I get on the computer
, i'll find that he has been looking at
these sites again. And there is really
no way it could be anybody else. It sure
wasn't me and no one else lives here with
the two of us. No one else has a key to
our apartment. Also, just today, when I
got on the computer, some of these sites
had been left open by him. They were
minimized in the corner of my screen. I
guess he had forgot to close them.
And when I first found out about this, it
wasn;'t because I was" sneaking around".
It was completly by accident. This is
my computer and my internet service that I
pay for--not his, and he uses it very
rarely (except for lately it seems). I
have every right to click on the recent
searches when I want to. I use it often
to find websites I had been looking at
earlier that I forgot to bookmark. I
hadn't even been expecting to find
anything my boyfriend had been looking at
because he almost never use to use my
computer, but I found all these websites
by mistake.
I know everyone looks at sites of things
they don't necissarily like sometimes,
just out of curiousity. I've done it
myself. I am only worried because this
has been happening a lot.
Is "happening a lot" like daily, weekly,
monthly ... ?
And are those just sites with specific
explicit child porn, or are they like
normal news sites blaming child porn?
But okay if it happened before and several
times with actual child porn, you should
ask him. I'm not saying you're not safe
but maybe you could help him stop this
somehow.

this last week or so, it's been daily. I
usually go over to my mom's house for a
while everyday, and then when I come home
and get on the computer, I see that he has
been looking at these sites agian.
Yes,these sites are actual explicit child
porn, not news sites blaming it or
anything like that.
I don't know that i'd be able to work up
the courage to ask him about all this.
I'm afraid he'd really freak out. I just
don't know what to do. *sigh*

Sounds like you really have a problem with
your boyfriend, blackwinded. Maybe you
should really consider leaving him if he's
doing all these things to you. On to the
actual subject...
If he's looking at it often enough, it's
1. Not good for your relationship with
him because you're losing trust and 2.
Quite illegal to be owning any sort of
child pornography. You really do need to
talk to him about this, i'm pretty sure he
doesn't realize you know. Good luck.

Speaking from experience, and very new and
raw wounds. You should be very concerned.
I found child pornography pictures on our
computer of little girls about the same
ages as you described. I confronted my
husband and he said "not to worry about
it." I later found that he had been
burning CD's of these pictures and storing
them in our house. As of 2 weeks ago, I
also walked in on him sexually molesting
my daughter and found out it had been
going on since we first started dating.
He is now in jail, and my daughter's,
myself, and the rest of my family's lives
have been turned upside down, and don't
know how we will ever completely recover.
If your gut tells you something isn't
right, believe it. I should have done
more earlier, and now I am living with
guilt every day that I could have kept my
baby safe had I done something when I
first found out about the porn.

yeah no matter how you look at it child
porn is wrong. No one regardless of age
or gender should be exploiting children
like that. Personally I would leave him.
There has to be something up with his
mental state to be wanting to look at
kids. Maybe you could suggest counseling
or talking to him about it to find out
where this desire comes from and why he
likes kids. Thats just wrong. Just
remember though this isnt your fault or
there is nothing wrong with you, its him
that has the problem. If you have
children be careful.
I hope the best for you.
Leonaa - stay strong for yourself and your
daughter. Its a horrible thing that
happened but you did not do that to your
daughter. People are mean and evil and
you had no control over the actions he
took. Please try to forgive. You are a
good mom, you stopped it when you knew
something was wrong. Try counseling. I
was abused as a little girl and couseling
go me through it

Rosie,
Thanks for the support. My daughter and I
are both in counseling. I actually went
to talk to my husband yesterday in jail.
I wanted answers as to why he would do
this. He would not talk to me because the
conversation was being recorded, and he
seemed more scared that my daughter was
going to hate him, and he was not going to
get to see her than he was remorseful. I
truly do not think he understands what has
happened. Or at least he is telling
himself that he did not do anything wrong.
When I would talk to him about my
daughter not understanding what was going
on, the only reply he gave me was, "she
knows more than you think she does." I'm
sorry she was 4 when the sexual abuse
started, I don't think a 4 year old knows
how to have sex. Call me the crazy one.
Thanks to anyone who is reading this. It
is helping me to get my mind back in to
one piece and hopefully in time my
daughter and I will get our life back on
track.

This is a serious issue and it needs to be
cleared up. But as mentioned, maybe it is
not him?! I work with computers; I build,
install and fix them and I know many times
my "customers" have very provocative
pop-ups because of spyware or a virus.
This could also be the [better] reason for
such things being on your computer.
Don't let it go. I think, to keep your
relationship friendly, the best thing to
do is catch him in the act (if he is
actually doing it). Or, what may be better
- there are programs out there that can
discreetly capture computer activity,
including what is showing on the screen.
I hope for the best.
P.S. I am very disturbed and sorry that
such a thing came upon you and your
daughter leonaa.

I don't know his characteristics, but just
in case you should keep it to yourself for
now, there are a lot of messed up people
in this world, even if we swore we knew
them. If he has such a secret, such a
dangerous secret, there is no telling what
even the best of us would do out of
desperation. Better safe then sorry right?
The most I would do if I were in that
position is get a black light and check
for semen stains and the like around the
area of your computer, keyboard, mouse to
check if he has been sexually involved
such as masturbation to these sites. It
wouldn't say 100% that he has been
masturbating to child pornography, he
might have been doing it to regular porn
or the chemicals you see through the black
light might be something else. But it
would increase chances significantly of
what he is doing as compared to what you
know now. However, you will need to act
fast once you find out whether you catch
him, etc, after that. I imagine it would
already be difficult just being near him
much less laying on the bed with him at
night without this issue running through
your mind.
but I am wondering, he found you, knowing
you were underaged legally, and you two
ended up together, if he truly is into
child pedophilia was that his intent?
If you are going to confront him, confront
him with some sort of a back up that is
failsafe!
