Former Oregon Christian Coalition Leader Confesses to Molesting Relatives
BY MATT DAVIS AND AMY JENNIGES

Lou Beres, former executive director of the Oregon Christian Coalition and former chair of the Multnomah County Republican Party, confessed to police that he has sexually touched underage girls—including a young sister-in-law, according to a Gresham Police report dated September 13, 2005, and first obtained by gayrightswatch.com on Monday, August 14.

Allegations against Beres surfaced last fall, when three of his female relatives—two daughters and a sister-in-law—contacted the Child Abuse Hotline. The allegations were investigated, but no charges were filed; the statute of limitations had passed, the Multnomah County district attorney explained ...

But the police report, by Gresham Detectives Lee Gosson and Mike McGowan—who did not return a call on Tuesday—says Beres admitted on September 28, 2005 that he had "'sinned' in the past." He attributed his behavior to "experiencing a great deal of stress at the time... he was millions of dollars in debt and facing bankruptcy," the report said.

The report also stated Beres subsequently confessed to Detective McGowan over the phone on October 7, admitting he had sexually touched his sister-in-law in the 1960s when she was a teen, and two friends of his daughters—one incident was in 1976 or '77, according to the report, and the other was unspecified ...

1. Boy, oh boy...

Beres is on my personal list of Top 25 Most Rotten Life Forms to Ever Stain the Earth.

I'm sick over what he did to those girls -- but I can't think of anyone I'd more like to see exposed as the vile filth he is (even Phelps). Beres is pure evil.

I guess I have to get cracking on another new installment of Conservative Babylon -- my bookmarks file is bursting with such revelations lately!

3. well it's clear that a heterosexual child molester

has more civil rights than some law abiding tax paying military veterans, if they happen to be homo-affectional.

I don't see these family values freaks out there forbidding the marriage of divorcees, child molesters, violent criminals, or people who FLAUNT that they don't want to and never plan to have children, flaunt it I tell you.

It's all about what they imagine other people do with their gonads, isn't it. The abstract makes it even so much more absurd. Nobody ever requires incontrovertible PROOF, to either side, and that would be because, mechanics aside, it's all the honor system and presumption.
