I am stunned that you actually believe that I would ever be embarrassed about anything in my life, most particularly my family. Anyone who knows me at all knows that my life is an open book. There are no secrets with me. The truth is the truth, and you just have to accept it. The sooner you and your family realize that, the better off you will be emotionally.
My family's experiences with the judicial system are exactly why I empathize with you and your family. I understand that it is easier to believe in some grand conspiracy than to accept that your loved one's situation is a consequence of his own actions.
Further, I have absolutely no distaste for the church at all. (My husband may have entirely different feelings, to which he is entitled.) The church has been a source of love and support for me, and for that I always will be grateful. It is possible to criticize a Mormon without being anti-Mormon.
I do not intend to continue arguing with you about any of this. Your emotional state at this difficult time makes any attempt at rational discussion futile. I do wish you and your family the very best as you continue to deal with the pain in your lives.
Ok..for those of you that were thinking that WJH was at all credible with his knowledge of anything..please click the above link. My guess is that he will say that the Internet community is out to get Joseph Smith and that this was all made up and that we werent there with Joey Smith and we can't talk about it...oh know thats what he says about the Dewster.
Can someone tell me if the WJ in WJHilton stands for Warren Jeffs? That can be the only way someone with a twisted mind could think that anyone should ever walk the streets of society aftter being connvicted of crimes against children. By the way, I hear there are time shares newly available in Eldorado,Texas for those with that cult like thinking.
I never said that any children were Greg's victims. Because of something I had read, I was concerned about that issue. I asked the prosecutor (not Natasha) and she said there were child victims. That's the information I got.
I believe the allegations about Greg because they were all too similar to my experiences with him. I never said he raped me, and I never said I thought he would rape me. We never had sex when I was a teenager (I described exactly what the relationship was in my oral statement), and he never raped me when I was a patient. However, in both situations, Greg's behavior was at best inappropriate and, at worst, criminal. I did object when I was a patient and I just never went back to him. I could have gone to the police, but I didn't think Greg's life needed to be ruined over it. Aside from that, I thought our prior relationship might have caused Greg to get a little carried away with me. When I told my story to the prosecutor (because there was no way I was keeping quiet if children were involved), she said,"Melissa, you are telling the same story everyone else is telling." I didn't know any of them, Roy, so how could it be a coincidence? That doesn't make any sense.
Lets start at the YGC. What made Greg want to be teaching gymnastics to begin with? Does he have gymnastics in his background? I think we both know the answer. I will let you tell the world though. Its odd though that you would be there as well. I makes me wonder if you were there to see Greg touching children or if you were there looking for a wife. Oh thats right....Greg is the one that found a wife there. With all your ranting about how great the former bishop Greg was, you fail to mention how he met his wife. Speaking of her...care to share how much younger she is than he? One more thing. How was your mission trip? I think we know the answer to that as well. You didn't have a mission trip because little bitty Justin couldnt handle what his male family member did to him. So, care to share who the family member was? Im guessing daddy but maybe Greg. If you are a true Dew I will expect you to have admitted it in your youth but now deny it as an adult, like your brother.
I understand that you are suffering and that you are desperate to blame anyone for the situation that Greg has caused. I know how difficult it is to accept that someone you love is capable of such reprehensible conduct.
I am certainly not an important piece of the puzzle and I have never believed that I am.
I do not know any of the victims and I know nothing of the activities at the gymnastics center. I do, however, know of my personal experiences with Greg. I never wanted Greg charged criminally with anything involving me, and I never pursued that avenue although it would have been very easy for me to do so. I did not know the full scope of Greg's behavior, and I only got involved in this when I read something that greatly concerned me. It caused me to ask the prosecutor a single question: "Are any of Greg Dew's victims still children?" When she answered in the affirmative, I told her about my experiences with Greg. She asked me to speak to the Boardman police and I did so. Several months later I received a subpoena to testify at Greg's trial. That is the complete, and very limited, extent of my involvement in this case.
I only began posting because the attitude that Greg is somehow the victim is incomprehensible to me.

Maybe an angel with the sword told Greg to commit these crimes against teenagers just like this same angel told Joseph Smith to marry teenagers

POLL QUESTION: TO ALL POSTERS:
WHO HAS TAKEN A VACATION/PILGRIMAGE TO UTAH?
I say the trip takers are Dew supporters...just a hunch.

Dew family and friends,
