Snopes Says It's All Good

This photo originally appeared on The Ohio eSorn website. An email was circulating claiming that the photo of this guy, Brian Peppers, who is registered sex offender in the state of Ohio, was doctored in some way, but apparently Brian Peppers likely suffers from Apert's Syndrome or Crouzon's Syndrome. Snopes has confirmed that the image being forwarded by many is not a fake. I had mixed feelings about actually posting his picture.

when i first looked at it, i wondered if it had been altered somehow. this guy is a registered sex offender?

i've never heard of these two diseases before....

So someone actually let him get close enough to them, to have them commit a sex crime against them? Even that in itself, makes me scratch my head. because he doesn't look all there.

I believe his brother said on his own website that the sexual offense was a misunderstanding between his brother and a nurse in his care facility. However, when you read his docket, it indicates that it involved a young girl.

I am blown away by the pic....more so by the alleged sexual offense.

I don't know why...but many times when i try to get to ur blog, it doesn't let me.....I'm happy to actually make it over here today. Don't think I've forgotten you.....try my link on my BLOG....maybe that is the problem...it's not working for me....

mmmm....that's weird about not getting in, Safa. I looked at the link you made, and you have "http:.." twice in the address line, so that's probably your culprit!!!

Hmmm...he looks familiar. God, this is already sounding like an SNL skit:

Prosecutor: Do you recognize Brian Peppers in this line up.
Witness (pointing at Brian Peppers): it could be this guy...but his hair looks different.

Ok, not very funny. That's why I said it sounded like an SNL skit..

Oh, and no Brian Peppers convo would be complete without a visit to this website, entitled 'The truth about Brian Peppers'. It would have tugged at my heart strings, if I had any:

lol, basil. I think you're on a testosterone rush after ripping your boss a new one. How did you like the casio music on the B. Pepper's website?

Kidding. Did you get my email? I listed it in response to your comment.
