1:07:03
and this man had this little boy
in there who was his son
1:07:08
or his stepson,
I don't know
1:07:10
but the child was about
4 or 5 years old
1:07:13
and they were in the table
right next to us.
1:07:15
And I was interviewing Arnie
1:07:18
and all of a sudden
he leaned over and asked me
1:07:20
if I could ask
the corrections officer
1:07:22
or whoever was in charge
in the room
1:07:24
if we could get another table.
1:07:26
And I asked him why,
and he said
1:07:31
"That little boy over there
bouncing on his father's lap
1:07:34
is getting me very excited. "
1:07:38
It took me about 15 minutes
to regain my composure.
1:07:41
I remember that
like it was yesterday.
1:07:43
I was shocked
1:07:44
'cause even though I was
involved in the case now
1:07:46
for two months
1:07:47
and even though
I had studied pedophilia
1:07:50
and I knew what these men
did to little boys
1:07:53
I had never heard somebody
actually say it.
1:07:57
And I was absolutely disgusted.
1:08:04
We did change our table
and I spoke to Arnie.
1:08:07
I interviewed him
for a very long time.
1:08:10
He was telling me
that the only reason
1:08:12
he pled guilty
and went to jail
1:08:15
was because he wanted
to save his son, Jesse.
1:08:19
He told me that he was
a pedophile.
1:08:23
He told me that he had
had activity with boys
1:08:28
but not in Great Neck.
1:08:31
He told me that he had a house
in Wading River
1:08:34
a beach resort
1:08:36
and that the family
enjoyed vacations there.
1:08:42
And he told me that
there were certain boys
1:08:47
he took liberties with
1:08:48
and I don't want
to go into it
1:08:50
while he was in that area.
1:08:55
"In my early 40s,
during the summer
1:08:57
I did go 'over the line'
1:08:59
and did have sexually arousing
contact with two boys
