Concord, NH-- Jonathan Perfetto, a repeat sex offender, left prison eight days ago. He's living in a Concord parking garage and spending his days at the city library. He never finished sex offender treatment in prison, and he has no one supervising him. Perfetto's biggest fear, he says, is that he's going to reoffend. His measure of success isn't reassuring. "I haven't bought pornography yet, and I've been out (of prison) almost a week," he said yesterday.

In the article, Jonathan admits to the following offenses:

• Molesting " a young relative"
• Sexually molesting or assaulting three women in one year
• Molesting a woman at a homeless shelter
• Getting caught "Fooling around" with his retarded girlfriend
• Assaulting a woman when "I goosed her, and then when I reached for some bread (at the table), my hand touched her chest."
• Fighting with hospital staff when they said he couldn't have a PB & J sandwhich before dinner. "I flipped out," he says
• Having child porn on his laptop. "I thought, 'I'm not molesting anyone, but I can look at the pictures.' I can have my cake and eat it, too."
• Sexually assaulting someone in prison.

For starters, I'm making a mental note to avoid taking the kids Trick or Treating at the Concord, NH municipal parking garage, just in case I was tempeted to. Second, I'm surprised a good looking cat like him would have to resort to this stuff to git himself some. You look at a moustache like that and the first words that pops into your head are "Babe Magnet," not "Child Molestor." And while like all of you I'm in favor of turning the key on this guy and swallowing it, you have to at least give him credit for one thing. He's gone an entire week without looking at porn? Is there another man among us who can admit to doing the same? Ever? That of course is assuming he's being honest about this and the computers at the library aren't full of kiddie porn as we speak. But Jonathan gets the benefit of the doubt from me because if he'll admit to all of the above to a newspaper reporter, really what's left to lie about?

Lastly, for the record, Jonathan is exactly how I picture the typical Barstool reader.
