In Plea for Leniency, Child Sex Abuser Says Relationship With Priest Is Linked To His Pedophilia

A Connecticut man who has confessed to sexually abusing several homeless boys in Haiti is claiming in his plea for leniency that a relationship he had with a priest while in college more than 20 years ago is linked to his pedophilia, according to a document filed by his attorneys.

Douglas Perlitz, 40, pleaded guilty in August to travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct, and he admitted to engaging in sexual acts with eight children as part of a plea deal. He could receive from eight to nearly 20 years in prison on Dec. 21 when he is sentenced by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton.

So his ADULT consensual homosexual relationship is 'connected' to his pedophilia? Huh? Go figure.
I guess throwing the word 'priest' in there is supposed to make the jury more understanding. Wish I was on it!
