When the case first hit the news, someone did extensive research, reading every article about the case, as well as court transcripts. Today it is not so easy to find information, as it happened so many years ago. Here are some archived news articles giving various details (one of them is the "comments" section for an article, the comments sound to me like people are lying and making things up): http://web.archive.org/web/20130603200730/http://host.madison.com/news/local/article_1dd43787-38e3-51ac-97d3-9655fd51e7f6.html http://web.archive.org/web/20220817084953/https://www.crime-research.org/news/21.02.2004/62/ http://web.archive.org/web/20040418211508/http://www.times-press.com/newsmain.php?storyid=7869 http://web.archive.org/https://chippewa.com/news/child-porn-ring-allegedly-based-in-beaver-dam/article_6617603e-90e2-578f-8fdb-fcb6cdf2899c.html https://web.archive.org/web/20060926081552/http://www.ice.gov/pi/news/newsreleases/articles/050809greenbay.htm A COURT FILING, HE CONFESSED DURING INTERROGATION WITHOUT ACCESS TO COUNSEL: https://ia601501.us.archive.org/12/items/gov.uscourts.wied.33510/gov.uscourts.wied.33510.136.0.pdf FROM SOME WIKI SITE: "Noname/P101: American boys, 6 to 15 years old, based out of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin; the stars of main cast consisting of 5 young boys in orgies, the main star of which being 8 years old and the other four being 11 to 13 years old, with other older boys' faces rarely being of focus; a total of 12 boys involved, mostly in photos, some strictly solo, others as b/b or M/b apart from the all-child gay orgies. "Noname" is the prefix of the videos. "P101" is the prefix of a large portion of the photos in this nameless series, while many other related photos begin with letter P and followed by a 3-digit number higher than 101, while further other photos begin with different single letters followed by "101". He gave other men access to some of the boys. Generally, it was for large sums of money in exchange for the boys getting blow jobs. It's such a shame that some men are so desperate for boy-flesh that they will take sloppy seconds. That idea disgusts me... According to some reports, the boys were happy, and liked the money they earned. Martin did not really "abuse" them, and, although he monetized their sexual fun, he did share the money with the boys. Let me ask you: would you take 200 or 400 or 500 dollars for letting a stranger suck your dick? I would. Someone who saw the main video described it like this: "The camera was set up on a tripod at one end of a room. There was a large L-shaped sofa on the right side of the room, the short leg of the sofa at the back of the room against the wall, against a window that had the curtains drawn. All along the sofa were boys seated, looking at magazines as they jacked off, maybe 10 or 12 in all. There was a young boy (around 8) who ran around the room, bothering the other boys. He'd come up to the camera sometimes, and clown around in front of it, sticking his face into the lens. This was discouraged by the man behind the camera (you could see the man's hand sometimes). In the forefront were two boys, one bending over and the other behind him performing anal intercourse on the boy bending over. The active one's penis slipped out of the boys anus several times, and the passive partner would laugh and assist in reinserting the penis. Both appeared to be enjoying the experience immensely, laughing all the time. The video was fairly short -- maybe 8 or 10 minutes, I'm not sure." So that's the description of someone who claims to have seen the video. The news reports make the man out to be a vicious predator raping boys. I have a hard time believing that. Now a warning, and I'm not kidding or being facetious: DO NOT TRY TO DOWNLOAD THOSE VIDEOS FROM FILE SHARING SITES. IT WILL BE A STING BY THE POLICE. I DON'T CARE HOW CLEVER YOU THINK YOU ARE OR WHAT PRECAUTIONS YOU TAKE -- IT IS JUST TOO DANGEROUS! EVEN THE "INTENT" TO DOWNLOAD THEM IS NOW PUNISHABLE -- JUST SEARCHING FOR THEM ON A FILE-SHARING SITE COULD FLAG THE LEO THAT YOU ARE A "PERVERT" AND MAY EVEN BE ENOUGH TO ARREST YOU. Do this instead: Go to the beach wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and look at the boys all you want. Fantasize about them. Jack off to them (at home, dummy! Not in your car in the parking lot!). Taking pictures is very risky -- some places you may be able to, and others not. So it's better not to take the risk. You don't want to go to jail for something like that. Anyway, that's pretty much the story as I understand it of William Martin and his boys. A few have posted things condemning Martin, saying they had first-hand experience with him. Well, Martin may have done different things with different boys. But I don't believe he was a monster, or anything close. He was a lucky/then unlucky BoyLover, who trusted the wrong people and got busted for it. Remember -- two people can keep a secret, as long as one of them is dead. M. ... just you try not to be the dead one... Or the one in prison... |
