Ukraine turned blind eye to American pedophile working with orphanages
By Oleg Sukhov, Daryna Antoniuk. Published Feb. 12, 2020. Updated Feb. 12 2020 at 7:36 pm
Charles Richard Skaggs, Jr. who went under name Rick Skaggs, was convicted in January of sexually exploiting a minor.
It would seem logical that anyone dealing with children would have to undergo extensive background checks.
However, a convicted U.S. pedophile was given a free hand to work with orphanages and schools in Ukraine.

It would seem logical that anyone dealing with children would have to undergo extensive background checks.
However, a convicted U.S. pedophile was given a free hand to work with orphanages and schools in Ukraine.
Moreover, Ukrainian law enforcement appears to have ignored his activities in the country, unlike U.S. authorities.
On Jan. 30, a U.S. court sentenced Charles Richard Skaggs, Jr., also known as Rick Skaggs, to life in prison for sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of child pornography and concealment of evidence. Skaggs had a prior conviction in 1997 out of Indiana’s Clark County for having sexual misconduct with a minor.
Martin Foley, a journalist who has researched the Skaggs case, told the Kyiv Post that his work with Ukrainian orphanages has been investigated by the Ukrainian police, but they have made no progress so far.
The police and the Prosecutor General’s Office did not respond to requests for comment on the issue.
Skaggs in Ukraine
According to the indictment, “Skaggs founded and operated an organization in the country of Ukraine that advertised that it helped orphans and at-risk children through funds raised in the United States.”
“Skaggs would periodically travel to Ukraine and meet with children, teenagers and persons caring for them in group homes and orphanages,” the indictment read.
The indictment also says that Skaggs transported outside the U.S. sexually explicit videos during a trip to Ukraine and then brought them back to the U.S. in 2016.
Skaggs has been working through the Ukrainian Angels Resource Network, a charity that helped orphans and other children in Ukraine. According to its Facebook page, the group was set up in 2004 and its activities continued until 2016.
It appears that Skaggs was the creator or the leader of the network. The network did not respond to a request for comment.
“This mission was started in 2004 after (a) series of large police raids in Ukraine and abroad that ended three criminal enterprises including one that had lured hundreds of Ukrainian children and teens into exploitation and prostitution and even child porn,” the Ukrainian Angels Resource Network’s Facebook page reads. “While the arrests stopped these particular enterprises, it did nothing to help the children and families afterwards. A large outpouring of support materialized through the efforts of many concerned people including ourselves.”
Specifically, Skaggs has donated clothing, food and other items to orphanages and schools in Mykolayiv, Cherkasy, Bobrynets in Kirovohrad Oblast, Kherson, Ushomyr in Zhytomyr Oblast, Kyiv and Odesa.
The Kyiv Post has obtained a copy of a formal thank-you note issued to Skaggs by the Bobrynets General Education Boarding School.
“(Skaggs) helped us, played with the children, treated them with sweets,” Iryna Gurtova, a teacher at the Bobrynets school, told the Kyiv Post. “It was fun. He bought clothes for children who needed them and gave them gifts. He visited twice a year.”
Other orphanages and schools supported by Skaggs did not respond to requests for comment.
Acquaintances in Ukraine
According to Facebook, Skaggs claimed to have a Ukrainian adopted daughter named Dariya Skaggs. Some of the people who worked with the Ukrainian Angels Resource Network have communicated with Dariya as part of their efforts to donate to Ukrainian orphanages.
However, journalist Foley argues that Dariya does not exist, and her Facebook account is a fake created by Skaggs himself. The Kyiv Post was unable to find any people who knew Dariya personally. Facebook accounts of both Dariya and Skaggs haven’t posted anything since January 2017.
The Kyiv Post found out that the photos used on the account belong to a young Ukrainian woman with a different name who appears to have no connection to Skaggs.
“I was shocked when I found out (about Skaggs’ conviction),” Yana Lavrusenko, who was an interpreter for Skaggs in Ukraine, told the Kyiv Post. “He behaved like an ordinary person. I didn’t notice anything.”
Carl Mikael Teglund, a Swedish-born acquaintance of Skaggs, said he had met the American at an expat meeting in a Kyiv café in 2016.
“He brought some girls with him,” he said. “A really odd dude. I had a different political opinion back then. So I defriended (Skaggs and Dariya) because they used this platform (only) to campaign for (U.S. President Donald) Trump.”
Teglund also said he doubted whether Dariya Skaggs was a real person.
Randall Roffe, an American alternative medicine doctor, said that Skaggs had come to Kyiv in the summer of 2016.
“We ate at the Katyusha (café) near the Arsenalna (metro station), and he had a young woman with him,” Roffe told the Kyiv Post. “She showed all the behavior I have come to recognize as trauma. That’s when I began to have my doubts. It was like he was pimping her.”
Roffe said that he wanted to volunteer with Skaggs’ charity organization but it didn’t work out.
“Skaggs had me fooled until I met him personally,” Roffe said. “Dariya and I communicated on Facebook. I was looking for an organization to volunteer with, and smooth out the residency requirements. I thought they were a sincere organization.”
He said that Skaggs had apparently found out that he was investigating pedophilia and then had withdrawn from contact.
American Mark Brown told the Kyiv Post that he knows a few people who helped Skaggs.
“They are very surprised and find (it) shocking to hear this about him,” Brown said. “They almost don’t want to believe it.”
He said he had donated to some of the orphanages that Skaggs supported.
“Sadly, Ukrainian orphanages don’t require strict background and fingerprint checks,” Brown added.
Skaggs investigation
The U.S. Court for the Southern District of Indiana delivered the verdict in the Skaggs case in January. Among other things, Skaggs was found guilty of sexually exploiting his own underage daughter in Indiana by producing sexually explicit videos of her.
The case began in 2015 as an investigation by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, of child sex tourism in Ukraine, including Skaggs’ work with orphanages there.
In 2016, Skaggs was searched at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport during his return trip from Ukraine to Indiana and arrested by the FBI. Law enforcement officers recovered thumb drives that contained child pornography, including pornography produced by Skaggs in Indiana.
Law enforcement officers also found a hard drive that Skaggs had hidden in the ceiling of a shared laundry room in his residence. The hard drive contained images of videos of child pornography, including copies of the same pornography found on the thumb drives seized at the airport.
Journalist Martin Foley contributed to this story.

Why are 8 year olds getting ANY instruction in sexuality, period? Het or Gay or Genderbender Fascism?
I could see 11 year olds getting the "your voice will crack and your pubes will grow, don't worry" type shit, but 5-8 is pure BS.
Give Libbies and inch, and the radicals will take the mile.

U.S.—Disney+ has announced some new parental features coming to the popular streaming platform. Now to ensure that parents do not get in the way of their children’s viewing experience, Disney+ will ask to confirm that no parents are in the room before viewing any content.
“We have to stick to our core values. And that’s to influence and fill young minds with content that we want them to see without Mommy and Daddy’s knowledge,” said Disney CEO Bob Chapek. “We believe children learn the most from a free environment, that’s not stifled by adult supervision.”
Now before viewing any content intended for children, users will have to confirm that no parents are in the room, only young susceptible children. They will be prompted to answer as follows: You must be 18 or younger, preferably in Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. Please confirm that no parents are in the room before continuing.
“We realized that parents have enough controls as it is,” explained Bob Chapek. “So we are giving children special tools so they can have a special educational time on Disney+. Now kids can learn without the oppressive, disapproving judgment of parents who think they know what's best for their own kids”
At publishing time, Disney confirmed that any parents found violating the rules by staying and watching in the room are subject to legal fees and having their children taken away by Child Protective Services.

According to sources, teachers are preparing for the next year by abandoning all subjects entirely in favor of full-time LGBTQ lectures to make up for the fact they won't be able to indoctrinate children next year—even though they don't do that.

Celebrities at the Oscars on Sunday night shrieked about the alleged attack on LGBT rights and Disney executives were caught on tape promising to create more queer content for children in response to the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
A poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies indicates that these woke institutions are wholly out of step with the concerns of normal Americans. When registered voters were shown the actual language of the bill, which prohibits age or developmentally inappropriate sexual education in pre-K through third grade, they supported it by more than a two-to-one margin.

I think you're talking about Michael Alig who murdered his drug dealer. He was a sick bastard who eventually died of a heroin overdose. In one instance Desmond made an appearance with him and I guess his current boyfriend where many people had speculated that Desmond was also on some sort of drug.
I tried to watch Party Monster once years ago (it was the account of the murder), but it was so awful I couldn't get through it. The film was only notable for having Macaulay Culkin as the lead role as Alig. Truly an awful film.

But I am calling for an end to all displays of the sodomy flag in public, and especially in schoolrooms, because of its strong link with pedophilia.

The unstated "+" in LGBTQ. How angry they get when you call them groomers.
Funny how the left asks for an inch and takes a mile. Consider the big battle between abstinence and birth control in HS 20-30 years ago.
Now Woketards demand the right to instruct K-4 kids in Gender Benders, Homosexuality, Butt Stuff, etc.

https://notthebee.com/article/yes-its-grooming-no-you-dont-have-to-feel-bad-about-calling-it-what-it-is?source=patrick.net
For years, we've had a word to describe the act of adults inappropriately coaching and guiding children to prepare them for sexual abuse. It's called "grooming," and up until about five minutes ago nearly everyone acknowledged that it was a very, very bad thing to do.
Those times appear to be over. Disney apparently has entire divisions of its animation studio dedicated to pushing alternative sexualities on children. Most of the progressive establishment—including the White House—has come out in favor of five-year-olds learning about transgenderism and homosexuality in the classroom.
The media, meanwhile, is growing very angry with conservative criticism of this phenomenon...
For a long time the conservative movement has had a tendency to fold relatively easily in the face of broad criticism, especially media criticism. It would be a terrible dereliction of duty to do that now. Make no mistake: We are in fact dealing with grooming here. Children are being groomed. Do not hesitate to call it for what it is.
There is no point in denying it, though some self-styled conservatives are doing just that. David French, for instance, has complained about the "groomer smear." He claims it is wrong to apply that label to, say, grown men and women in Florida who want to teach your kindergartner about "sexual orientation."

I’ve read that 50% of LGBTQ were molested as a child at some point by same sex adult. Compare that with <7% of straight people. If true, that suggests two things:
a.) we can’t just assume that LGBTQ are born that way but external factors do play a role.
b.) that’s a hell of a lot of fucking people being molested in their childhood. Good gawd.

Again, we have been betrayed by the media and the medical establishment.
Note that I am not calling for the persecution of homosexuals. I think that consenting adults have the right to engage in whatever behavior they want with each other. But I am calling for an end to all displays of the sodomy flag in public, and especially in schoolrooms, because of its strong link with pedophilia.
Remember how people were up in arms about cigarette advertising using cartoon characters and bright primary colors? To be consistent, they should also be up in arms about a flag which uses bright primary colors to promote a different life-shortening addiction.
The gay flag is a stealth way of abusing the good will of people who want to be inclusive.
