mind of a murderer who skinned his victims to sew a new skin for himself, so we turn to Goldenflame for advice
about how to handle those baffling deviants who prey on children.
When some sicko decides to drop a human being into a plastic shredder, might we expect to see members of
Saddam Husseins fedayeen death squads interviewed for their unique insights into the mind of a torturer? Simply
put, I dont care what Goldenflame thinks. About anything. I dont want to know his name (unless he moves next
door), much less invite him into my living room. Yet here he is chatting it up with our friends at Fox and Joe
Scarborough on MSNBC. Even Oprah invited him over as though Goldenflame were just another hail-fellow-wellmet
with some intriguing angles on quirky behavior.
His marketing niche is that he, unlike most in his disturbed tribe, supports Megans Law, which requires convicted
sex offenders to register with the states they live in so people can find out when the candy man moves into their
neighborhood. The law was passed after Megan Kanka, a 7-year-old New Jersey girl, was raped and killed in 1994
by a convicted child molester/neighbor.
Its not so much what Goldenflame says thats objectionable. What he says, in fact, is true that sex offenders cant be
cured and must be carefully monitored. So true that its commonly known among experts, who have managed to
become authorities without committing crimes.
Goldenflames own technique for avoiding re-offending for the past 14 years is to avoid temptation. In the same way
that alcoholics steer clear of circumstances that would tempt them to drink, molesters like Goldenflame try not to be
around children. Megans Law is one more layer of defense in a world populated by millions of delectable innocents.
No, what causes that creepy feeling, putting one in mind of rough loofahs and gritty soaps, is that Goldenflame is
invited to the discussion at all. Why is a sex offender given an audience? Why are we willing participants in this
moral farce?
Weve long ago become inured to the blurring of news and entertainment. Now weve moved to a new level of
cognitive dissonance in which the vilest form of humanity is granted polite entry into the public parlor. Without our
notice, the perverse and the sublime commingle in the unconscious American psyche until, insidiously, the
abnormal becomes normal, the bizarre ordinary, and Evil has an agent.
I dont begrudge Golden- flame his rehabilitation, but Id rather he do it on his own time. His self-outing is a form of
therapeutic confession that purges his own demons while imposing them on the rest of us. He feels better and we
need a bath. Our passive complicity constitutes, if not tacit approval, a least a level of involuntary involvement that
is both voyeuristic and prurient.
When Oprah asks Golden- flame in 2003: Its been 12 years since youve been out of prison. Have you had the urge
to molest? And he says, Yes. Ill see a young teenage boy that turns me on. Suddenly, were all in the game. Implicit
is a wink and a nod and the sense that were all essentially the same, just folks talking about this n that.
So goes American celebrity in the 21st century. It matters not what you do or what you are, only that you can look a
camera in the eye without blinking. In such a world, Jake Goldenflame isnt your worst nightmare. Hes a magician.
And we dozing under the somnambulant spell of moral relativism his unflinching fools.

Mabis Wood, a founding member of St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Antioch, couldn't understand why her 13-yearold
son, Troy, suddenly refused to go anywhere near "Father Bob."
It was 1982. Troy had always looked up to the priest, the Rev. Robert Ponciroli, as a second father. He'd served as
one of his parish altar boys and volunteered to cut the grass outside his suburban rectory.
"Troy started having all these excuses for not going over to cut the lawn, '' Mabis Wood recalled in a Hayward
