Judge delays deciding if sex offender can move
Verse tells crowd at public hearing he's also been abusedCecilia M. Vega, Chronicle Staff Writer
Saturday, February 5, 2005
Cary Verse faced a roomful of angry detractors Friday who do not want the five-time convicted sex offender to move to east Contra Costa County and said he is a changed man who is "not a danger to anyone's children or their family."
The emotional and sometimes raucous three-hour public hearing in a jury room at the Martinez courthouse ended with Verse's telling the crowd that he, too, had been a victim of molestation and was looking for a new start.
"I was sexually assaulted, and I thought that's what you did to other people. ... It's just a negative cycle," he told the crowd of about 100 people, many of whom spoke at the hearing.
Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge John Minney was expected to decide Friday whether to allow Verse to move from San Jose to Bay Point, but he delayed the decision to study the dozens of remarks made by residents and lawyers.
Minney said he would issue a written decision soon.
Verse has tried to make a home in Mill Valley, Oakland and San Jose since his release from Atascadero State Hospital a year ago as the second graduate of the state's violent sex predator program, but his presence was always greeted with protests from residents.
He could end up in Bay Point, where a couple have offered to rent him a cottage behind their law firm, because a new state law requires that sexually violent predators who have completed mental treatment return to the county where they lived before confinement.
Verse committed his last sexual assault in Richmond in 1992 on a 22-year- old homeless man who was living in the same shelter as him.
Pittsburg and Bay Point residents Friday protested Verse's potential move to their neighborhood and instead suggested he be moved to Richmond, to a field or even a deserted island.
"It's absurd that he's been run out of every other community," said George Robles, whose daughter attends a grammar school blocks away from where Verse may live. "What makes our community any different?"
Many came armed with statistics about how many sex offenders already lived in their area. Others had calculated exactly how many minutes it takes to walk from Verse's potential home to the nearby school in hopes of persuading the judge not to move him there.
"I don't want my child or anyone else to be his next victim when he relapses," said Pittsburg resident Marissa Angeles.
Hoping to allay any possible misconceptions about Verse's criminal history, Contra Costa Deputy District Attorney Brian Haynes presented Verse's record to the crowd.
In addition to attacking the homeless man, at age 17 Verse assaulted a 14- year-old male teammate on his high school track team, and between the ages of 18 and 21, he assaulted three teenage boys.
Verse knew, at least casually, all of his victims prior to the assaults and has an attraction to forced sex, Haynes said.
"Mr. Verse has never been diagnosed by any health professional as a pedophile," said Haynes, who also urged the state Department of Mental Health to continue searching for a "less urbanized" location to move Verse.
But Deputy Attorney General Susan King, who is representing the department, said there might be no choice other than Bay Point.
"No one with the county has come forward with a suggestion for any other housing for Mr. Verse that might be appropriate," King said.
Verse, who will live in a San Jose motel until Minney decides where to place him, has been chemically castrated and carries a satellite monitoring system.
Throughout the hearing, Verse sat quietly next to his attorney with a Bible on the table in front of him.
A Jehovah's Witness, he told the crowd that he had been raised in a "Christian military family" and never told anyone he had been molested at age 6 and then raped by peers at 14 until later in life.
Verse said no one has the right to be hurt.
"I've been on both sides of abuse," he said.

Cianci isn't master of his Web domain
A Newport entrepreneur has put VincentCianci.com on the eBay auction block.
01:00 AM EST on Sunday, February 6, 2005
BY CATHLEEN F. CROWLEY
Journal Staff WriterFormer Providence Mayor Vincent "Buddy" Cianci's cyber name is for sale, and it is cheap.
John Ackerman, a Newport resident who buys Web site domain names in hopes of selling them for a profit, is unloading VincentCianci.com to the highest bidder.
"I don't feel like the value is going to rise on this particular domain," said Ackerman. "The name recognition is going to fade over time."
Ackerman put VincentCianci.com on the eBay auction block yesterday. So far, one person has submitted the minimum bid of $88.50. The auction ends Thursday.
Ackerman is a 34-year-old property manager who dabbles in Web site design and domain-name speculation. Domain speculators register names of sites that they think someone will want, and then sell them back for the right price.
Has Ackerman made any money?
"I'm in the hole, hole, hole," he said.
He has spent about $7,000 to reserve hundreds of Web sites, including names of local media personalities, like Mario Hilario and Frank Coletta, he said. It costs $7 a year to hold each name, Ackerman said.
Ackerman's most profitable purchase was jwcorp.com. A Minnesota company called J.W. Media paid him $1,500 to get control of the Web site. The domain jwmedia.com was already taken by the Jehovah's Witnesses media site.
It's a long-term investment strategy, Ackerman said.
"I'm registering actual people and actual businesses. It's kind of a precarious situation because there are people who get mad. You've got to say, look, I've put a little money into this, so, you know," he said, his voice trailing off.
Ackerman said he called the Providence Biltmore hotel and left a message for Cianci after he bought the mayor's cyber name two years ago.
"I left a voicemail saying I registered his name in good faith and he could have it, but he never called back," Ackerman said.
It's no wonder. Ackerman bought the site on May 3, 2002 -- the 9th day of the Plunder Dome trial.
At the time, BuddyCianci.com was already registered to a group using it as an anticorruption platform. That site is now promoting a documentary film about Cianci.
Meanwhile, the former mayor is serving a five-year, four month sentence in federal prison for racketeering conspiracy. Cianci is appealing to reduce his sentence.
Filmmaker Michael Corrente is reportedly working on making Prince of Providence, a book about Cianci, into a movie. Ackerman hopes Corrente will buy his Web site to promote the film.
Just in case, Ackerman also owns MichaelCorrente.com.

It was (allowed) for the anointed in1958!
Watchtower/1958/August/1st/p-478/
************************************************************************************
Questions from Readers?
One of Jehovah?s witnesses who claims to be of the anointed remnant recently went to the hospital and took a blood transfusion, voluntarily. Should she be allowed to partake of the emblems of bread and wine at Memorial time??R. J., United States.We, of course, regret with you that this sister who professes to be one of the anointed remnant took a blood transfusion voluntarily during her stay in the hospital. We believe that she did the wrong thing contrary to the will of God. However, congregations have never been instructed to disfellowship those who voluntarily take blood transfusions or approve them. We let the judgment of such violators of God?s law concerning the sacredness of blood remain with Jehovah, the Supreme Judge. The only thing that can be done in the cases of individuals like this is to view them as immature and therefore not capable of taking on certain responsibilities, hence refusing to make certain assignments of service to such ones.
Since an individual is not disfellowshiped because of having voluntarily taken a blood transfusion or having approved of a dear one?s accepting a blood transfusion, you have no right to bar this sister from the celebration of the Lord?s Evening Meal. As an anointed member of Christ?s body she is under orders and command by Christ Jesus to partake. Whether she is unfaithful as to what she professes to be by virtue of taking the emblems of the Lord?s Evening Meal is something for Jehovah God to determine himself. His judgment begins at the house of God. It is not for you or anyone serving the Memorial emblems to act as the judge, but to allow the emblems to go to anyone in the audience as these are passed along in the normal manner of letting each one have the opportunity to partake.

Consider some of the other "twisted things" used to mislead God?s people today. On occasion opposers will question the various teachings that Jehovah?s people hold in common. Often this becomes a debate about words, just as it was in the first century. (1 Timothy 6:3, 4) They may also question the need for an organization to direct the minds of God?s people. Their view is, God?s spirit can direct individuals without some central, organized body of men giving direction. They will declare that all one needs to do is to read the Bible. But Christendom has been reading the Bible for centuries. And look at the indistinct trumpet call coming from Christendom today! See the confusion and misunderstanding as to the true message contained in God?s Word! What a contrast this is to the foretold peace and unity among true Christians who not only read the Bible but search out and zealously apply its teachings!?Ephesians 4:3-6. -
