Baseball coach arrested on charge of inappropriate contact with boy By Susan Jacobson Sentinel Staff Writer Posted February 10, 2005 A youth baseball coach was arrested Wednesday on charges he had inappropriate contact with a 12-year-old boy on his team, Orlando police said. Edwin Luis Vasquez, 33, was arrested on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior after the child slept at Vasquez's house Jan. 28, said Sgt. Barbara Jones, a police spokeswoman. He was being booked Wednesday night into the Orange County Jail. The boy complained that Vasquez cuddled with him in bed, got into a shower with him and touched him, she said. Vasquez is described on the Amateur Athletic Union baseball team's Web site as the team's head coach and manager. He is single, lives in west Orlando with his mother and has no children on the team, authorities said. Neither Vasquez nor his family could be reached for comment. The boy, who lives in the Kissimmee area, had been withdrawn since the sleepover but didn't immediately say what happened because he was afraid the team would split up and he would lose his friends, Orlando police Detective Rick Salcedo said. The child told his father Tuesday night, and the father called police, Salcedo said. Jos� Dore, former manager of the traveling baseball team, said parents were "very upset" and would meet Saturday to decide what to do. A practice scheduled for Wednesday night was canceled, Dore said. Vasquez -- whose name is spelled Vazquez on the team's Web site -- has been with the team since its inception in 2002, Dore said. Police said he has been coach for about two years. He was recommended for the job by "a friend of a friend." According to the Web site, Vasquez played on a AA minor-league team in Puerto Rico. Police are investigating a second claim that Vasquez may have showered with another boy, and more charges are possible, they said. Anyone who knows a child who may have had inappropriate contact with Vasquez can call Salcedo at 407-246-2963. *** Homoloveuals Molest Children At A Far Higher Rate Than Heteroloveuals Homoloveuals account for only 1-2% of our population based on current surveys. The National Opinion Research Center in 1992 found that 2.8% of men and 1.4% of women identified themselves as �homoloveual� or �biloveual. A 1995 survey of 18-49-year-old men published by the Journal of love Research indicated that 2.6% of them had engaged in homoloveual love within the prior 12 months; 4% had had homoloveual love within the past five years. In other words, at least 98-99% of our population is heteroloveual in orientation. Homoloveual activists routinely claim that most child molesters are �heteroloveual� males, thus shifting the focus away from their own very high rates of molestation. Since 98-99% of the population is heteroloveual, it is technically correct to say that most molestations are done by heteroloveuals. However, statistics indicate that homoloveuals pose a far more serious threat to children than do heteroloveuals. For example: In 1987, Dr. Stephen Rubin of Whitman College conducted a ten-state study of love abuse cases involving school teachers. He studied 199 cases. Of those, 122 male teachers had molested girls, while 14 female teachers had molested boys. He also discovered that 59 homoloveual male teachers had molested boys and four female homoloveual teachers had molested girls. In other words, 32 percent of those child molestation cases involved homoloveuals. Nearly a third of these cases come from only 1-2% of the population. Dr. Judith Reisman, in her book, Kinsey, Crimes & Consequences, describes the research done by Dr. Gene Abel. This researcher compared the molestation rates of self-confessed homoloveual and heteroloveual child molesters. In a sample of 153 homoloveual molesters, they confessed to a total of 22,981 molestations. This is equivalent to 150 children per molester. Self-admitted heteroloveual molesters admitted to 4,435 molestations. This comes to 19.8 victims per molester. Dr. Abel concluded that homoloveuals �loveually molest young boys at an incidence that is occurring from five times greater than the molestation of girls.� This high rate of molestations by homoloveuals is consistent with other studies conducted during the past several decades. Here are just a few studies that show homoloveuals molesting children at epidemic rates: The Los Angeles Times conducted a survey in 1985 of 2,628 adults across the U.S. Of those, 27% of the women and 16% of the men had been loveually molested. Seven percent of the girls and 93% of the men had been molested by adults of the same love. This means that 40% of child molestations were by homoloveuals. (Los Angeles Times, August 25-6, 1985) In 1984, a Vermont survey of 161 adolescents who were love offenders found that 35 of them were homoloveuals (22%). (Wbutterman, J., �Adolescent love Offenders�Vermont, 1984� Journal American Medical buttociation, 1986; 255:181-2) In 1991, of the 100 child molesters at the Mbuttachusetts Treatment Center for loveually Dangerous Persons, a third were heteroloveual, a third were biloveual, and a third were homoloveual. (Dr. Raymond Knight, �Differential Prevalence of Personality Disorders in Rapists and Child Molesters,� Eastern Psychological buttociation Conference, New York, April 12, 1991) Drs. Freund and Heasman of the Clark Insbreastute of Psychiatry in Toronto reviewed two studies on child molesters and calculated that 34% and 32% of the love offenders were homoloveual. In cases these doctors had handled, 36% of the molesters were homoloveuals. (Freund, K. �Pedophilia and Heteroloveuality vs. Homoloveuality,� Journal of love & Marital Therapy, 1984; 10:193-200) From these studies and many more, it is evident that homoloveuals molest children at a far greater rate than do their heteroloveual counterparts. While they comprise only 1-2% of the population, they are responsible for upwards of a third or more of all loveual molestations of children.
