- I picked up this message off a BBS and am wondering whether William
- Steen, mentioned in the article, was active in NAMBLE; or whether he was not:
- Here's the message, I didn't get the paper cite other than knowing that the
- story was printed in the Sacramento (Ca.) Bee:

- The man was William Steen from somewhere in Silicon Valley. He was using his
- computer system to distribute child porn as well as to contact boys. He even
- visited one boy in Sacramento and took him out for pizza, though he didn't
- make sexual overtures at that time. He did, however, give the boy computer
- equipment as a gift and included some pornography. He was arrested on child
- porn charges, which may have included distribution of porn to minors. While in
- jail, he offered $2000 to an undercover officer to have the Sacramento boy
- killed, since he was a potential prosecution witness. Murder solicitation
- charges are being added to Steen's case. All of the above allegations were
- cited in Tony Bizjak's article in the Sacramento Bee on Friday, January 15.
-
- The man at the SPCUG meeting on Wednesday was Bill Spernow, who is a private
- investigator and works on such cases with the Department of Justice. He was a
- bit heavy-handed in his presentation, but he was trying hard to get people to
- take the dangers seriously. He definitely startled many people in the
- audience. The Bee may yet do a follow-up story.

- Hopefully, someone from NAMBLA, who I'm sure reads this newsgroup, can
- confirm or deny this guy's participation in their organization.
