What If

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.~Martin Luther King Jr.

I'd like to explore "What if we didn't call the police, question?"'

If you have read my previous posts and will assume some of the actions of the pastor, Eddie, (the predator's father) and elders stayed the same, It is logical to conclude we would have never known that our child was sexually molested beyond "a few kisses," and our family would have been counseled by the elders that true forgiveness meant fellowshipping again with Patrick (the abuser), the "relatives" that Patrick had sexually abused would still be vulnerable of being his victims again, Patrick would be able to pursue a career in any field (including working with children), Patrick would certainly add more victims to his resume, and our child would not have received the proper help and would be a continuous victim (literally and/or emotionally.)

I know some adults do not report the crime of childhood sexual abuse.  I submit to you, if you do not report a crime of sexual abuse against a child you are also abusing the child (in a different way.)

I want you to think about this: If Eddie would have educated himself on pedophilia the first time he discovered that Patrick had sexually abused one of his "nameless relatives" at age 15, (which according to Patrick's evaluation was his first victim.) IF, Eddie would have sought out the proper help for the "nameless relative" and reported Patrick and properly protected others from Patrick and sought out professional help for Patrick, then the five children that followed could have been spared the trauma and devastation of being sexually molested by Patrick! 


Instead, Eddie and Kathy Rojas chose to stay purposefully ignorant at the expense of innocent children (even their own.) I do not want to in any way be part of hiding or keeping secret any information that might possibly help protect children from being victimized by Patrick (or anyone else involved in hiding his crimes or hiding that he is a predator.)

If nothing else, I hope this brings awareness to parents and anyone that is responsible for children. Assuming the statistics are correct and 1 in 4 girls are sexually molested before the age of 18, this is an epidemic! Flushing these predators out into the light, by naming them and exposing their crimes, by demanding tougher laws with real prison sentences for sexually motivated crimes against children, and by educating ourselves on the issue of childhood sexual abuse  (www.darkness2light.org/ ) we will start to turn around this epidemic.

The change starts with you and with me! Are you willing to be an advocate for children? Are you willing to call and e-mail your State representatives? Are you willing to forward this blog to your contacts?

Private Thoughts

"Would you want your private thoughts made public," is something I hear the individuals that have supported Patrick and believe he is rehabiltated ask. REALLY? No, I wouldn't want my every thought made public because they are just that-thoughts. If I am a criminal would I want my crimes made public? Again, I would have to assume no, because making my crimes public would greatly hinder me from committing future crimes.

Patrick had to pass the evaluation as "truthful" in order for his plea agreement to hold in our case. The evaluation was done over a certain time period with multiple steps. One of the steps was a lie detector test. These are not fantasies or thoughts. These were acts that Patrick ACTUALLY committed. The detailed crimes in the evaluation are words straight from Patrick, himself, of ACTIONS HE DID! I am confident Patrick and his attorney banked on the psycho sexual evaluation not being considered public information. Now that it has been ruled "public" Patrick can not hide behind the 5th ammendment. Why would Patrick even need to hide behind the 5th ammendment, you ask?

Because my blog is true! The crimes I suggest or state are true. The risk Patrick poses to children is true! The usage of religion to gain sympathy and manipulate is true! The suggestion that there are other predators in the immediate family should be investigated! My concern for other innocent families being in community with the Rojas family is valid! And the evaluation backs all those statements up! Patrick can not honestly answer the discovery questions for the lawsuit without incriminating himself or others in his family!

Up-To-Date Recap

*January 2007 we discovered that one of our children had been sexually violated by our pastors adult son, Patrick D. Rojas. (Patrick was 22yrs old at the time of the crime and the child was 11.)

*We reported the crime.

*August 2007, Patrick D. Rojas had his day in court. A plea agreement enabled this predator to have minimal consequences. He received 10 days in county jail, 2years probation, he will be on the sex offender registry for 10years. He is classified as a level 2 sex offender. Justice was not served!

*Eddie Rojas and his wife, Kathy and an adult son, Jairus had previous knowledge of Patrick's pedophile behavior but kept it a secret from our family and our church family. We know the parents knew from the information in the psycho sexual evaluation. Jairus himself told me in a phone conversation in 2008 that he had previous knowledge that his brother had been a sexual predator. At the time of the crimes committed Eddie Rojas was the pastor of our church.

*The elders of our former church, Jim Cameron and Dave Barrueto, knew in detail the crimes committed against our child and did not report any of the information to the sheriffs detective. Jim actually implied in his statement to the sheriff that Patrick's actions were innocent and "just the wrong age and wrong place." It was not until a plea agreement was in place and the sentencing had occurred that these two men shared that they had known all through the legal process the details of Patrick's crimes. They acknowledged their awareness of the full details of Patrick's crimes in our case at a Heads of Household meeting.

*As of August 2007, Eddie and Kathy Rojas along with 10 of their children went into hiding to avoid the state interviewing their minor daughters about the alleged sexual crimes committed against them that are talked about, in great detail, in the psycho sexual evaluation. Since they left the state they have lived in Israel and as of March 2011 are in England, with an additional child.

*Patrick D. Rojas is a convicted level 2 sex offender living in Port Orchard, Washington with his brother Jairus. Patrick has a total of 6 minor victims that we know of (age ranging from 18mo. -11yrs old), in his sexual psycho evaluation that was court ordered, Patrick, admitted to other deviant sexual behavior as well.

*In 2008, a felony warrant, was finally issued for Francis Edward Rojas, AKA Eddie Rojas.
The warrant is for witness tampering and is a nation wide warrant. I am asking for everyone that reads this to forward the information to all their contacts.

*March 2009, I decided to start a blog to tell Our Story.

*August 2009, We applied for an extended no-contact order for our minor child. PATRICK CONTESTED IT. It took us attaining a lawyer and three trips to the court house before Patrick backed down.

*June 2010, The sheriff knocked on our door and handed us our notice of the lawsuit against us by Patrick and Jairus Rojas.

*November 2010, We offered to totally remove the blog if they would walk away from the lawsuit (due to lack of finances to continue the legal battle.) We were totally shut down. To quote a part of the letter we received from their attorney, Michael Davis from Tacoma, WA, "The offer of settlement does not compensate my clients for their losses." NO JOKE!

*March 2011, Out of not knowing where else to turn, I contacted some media outlets to see if they could help us by telling our story. KING 5 News in Seattle, WA aired our story.

*Attempting mediation that was requested by Michael Davis, on behalf of Patrick and Jairus, March 23, 2011.

*May 7,2011 - Benjamin Rojas's Wedding in Virginia. It's reported that many of his siblings are in the US to attend the wedding. Conflicting reports as to whether Eddie or Kathy are in the US. Benjamin is on Patrick and Jairus's witness list.

*Our trial date is currently set for June 20,2011.

*Trial pushed to 12/12/2011.

*August 2011 confirmation that David Rojas has joined his brother's in Port Orchard, Washington
(Which means Eddie and Kathy have 9 or 10 children with them in Italy)

*November 4, 2011 The court dropped the case against us. The blog stays in tact!

*Patrick is appealing the ruling with the appellate court.

Re-Posting: Please Explain

Knowing that Eddie Rojas needs to be supported by outside parties I often wonder who would give finances to aid and abed a wanted felon. I am not talking about someone who is homeschooling in a state that is against homeschoolers and trying to take his children. Nor am I talking about someone who is being persecuted for spreading the gospel or passing out bibles. But I am talking about a man who abused his authority as a spiritual leader.

Eddie Rojas knew his son, Patrick Rojas, was a sexual predator. Eddie had "caught" him twice at age 15-17 years old sexually abusing (from the evaluation, I assume his own sisters.)Yet Eddie lead others to believe his son, Patrick, was trust worthy and in particular around adolescents. Eddie allowed mentoring relationships between Patrick and children. Mind you, at this time Patrick was an adult but still completely under his fathers roof and control. Patrick was not able to do or go anywhere without Eddie's permission. Eddie knew that Patrick was very much involved with our family and interacting with our children. Eddie, my spiritual authority at the time not only encouraged our family but our church congregation to trust Patrick.

Then when the light invaded the darkness of what was happening within the walls of the Rojas family home, Eddie ran. I know that Eddie and Kathy claim to be martyrs. It is just not true. I have explained in previous posts that the state was not interested in breaking up the Rojas family. But they were very much interested in exposing just how dangerous Patrick was and holding him legally accountable and the state would have suggested some kind of support be given to the girls in the family that were his victims.

I know that when you meet Eddie he appears to be so humble and such a God fearing man. It could be easy to fall prey to his manipulation of the truth. His involvement in the crimes and betrayal committed against our child and family should not be supported by anyone, least of all, brothers and sisters in Christ. Withdrawal your support and force Eddie to return to the states to face his actions.

Otherwise, can you please explain to me why you would continue in financially supporting such a man. If you are currently supporting Eddie financially, I am REALLY asking. Help me understand your thought process.

No Feedback

No feedback. I have heard nothing out of Israel since I posted the specific location of Eddie Rojas. Not really sure what to make of it. I know the leadership at the church they are attending has the facts. I know that some that attend the church know the true story about what really brought the Rojas's to Israel. I can tell from my site tracker that many people in various parts of Jerusalem are viewing my site daily. The information is reaching the community. What I find curious is the non response (no comments/ no e-mails) from anyone of those individuals.

Israel, what are you thinking? Do you not care what brought the Rojas's to Israel? Do you believe I am exaggerating? Do you believe that Eddie is doing the right/biblical thing? Is this just too much for you to deal with?

Also, the views from Missouri have jumped. (Missouri is where the Rojas family has a lot of extended family.)

Missouri, is the news of Eddie and Kathy in Israel new to you? What do you think of all of this? I know Eddie and Patrick flew to Missouri just prior to Patrick's sentencing to solicit letters of support from family members to supply to the sentencing judge. Do you still believe their version of the story? Do you still believe it was just "inappropriate affection?" A simple misunderstanding. Do you support Eddie and Kathy hiding in Israel? Are you concerned for your granddaughters/nieces? Do you see me as the enemy or the "Rojas hater" as Kathy has referred to me? What are you people thinking?

Eddie Rojas is in Israel. Seemed impossible until now.

Eddie Rojas is in Israel, with a standing warrant out for his arrest in the U.S.

What can be done? Really, other than notifying the community that Eddie and his family are living with, there is not much that can be done legally. Eddie is safe from prosecution while in another country for which I am sure is no surprise to Eddie. Eddie being in Israel has always seemed like the most far out possibility. I wasn't kidding when I said, "Our story seems like a poor made-for-TV movie."

Eddie,Kathy and family have been in Israel since at least May of 2008. They have been able to establish relationships and become part of the community in Jerusalem. Eddie does not have a job in Jerusalem. I know that the community in general has not been aware of the felony warrant out on Eddie here in America.

That alone shows that the cycle of secrecy has continued in the Rojas family.

I know that Kathy and Renee are helping women give birth as doulas (labor coach.) To be a part of someones birth is very intimate. I feel for these women who they have helped. Kathy was a doula for me in two of my births. Maybe you can start to see with the emotional ties plus the spiritual mentoring and family relationships how completely shocked and devastated I was to learn that Kathy had all along known of Patrick's pedophilia behaviors. Yet she still allowed and even encouraged Patrick's ever growing relationship with my family.

Man's justice cannot be gained with the knowledge of where Eddie and Kathy are, but knowledge of who Eddie and Kathy are might save another family who are in harms way.

Eddie's in Israel. What now?

Immediately after I learned of Eddie Rojas' location in Israel, I contacted the Kitsap County sheriff in charge of his case. I assumed nothing could be done to bring Eddie back to the states, but wanted to confirm that fact. After confirming, I took some time to consider the next step.

The least I could do was to make sure that the community in which the Rojas family was living was aware of the circumstances that brought them to Israel. The leaders of the church there were alerted about a week ago and now know, although they have not responded to this notification. Something about the lack of response of any kind from the leadership feels familiar. And concerning, to say the least.

It seems it's time to let the viral world do it's thing. If you know people in Jerusalem, I would strongly urge you to make sure they are aware of the Rojas story and familiar with their picture. Let them know who and what they are dealing with. Let them have a chance to guard their family and a chance to urge Eddie to return to the states, turn himself in, and cooperate with the ongoing investigation into Patrick's additional crimes.

Let other families know. Give them the information they need to empower them to choose how to respond. We never knew. We didn't have a choice.

Eddie's location!

Church of All Nations
Narkis Street Congregation's Chapel in Jerusalem.



Eddie and Kathy and their family are attending this church and live in this community.

It is hard to believe that Eddie and Kathy along with at least 10 of their children were able to make it into Israel. But you must remember the felony warrant was not issued immediately. The state had to prove that Eddie was in fact eluding their attempts to bring in the girls to be interviewed. It is also hard to believe that they would be able to pay for that many airplane tickets. Again, you must remember we discovered early on that Eddie had sold his 15 passenger van along with knowing that Jairus had thousands of dollars in savings.

What to do next? Inform their community seems to be what would be the right thing to do.

Information has been sent to the leaders of this congregation in hopes that they will hold Eddie accountable as his spiritual leaders. I know of three different sources that have contacted the leadership and as of writing this post the silence of the leadership is deafening. Here is the link to the church:

http://www.narkis.org/default.htm

Eddie's heart is not what he leads others to believe.

I know that I make some bold statements.

"In my opinion, the girls in that family have been brainwashed by their domineering, felon father." from my post, "Please help the Rojas girls."

If you are just meeting the Rojas family you may consider my opinions over the top. If I would not have lived this myself, I would have agreed. Let me just say that my comments are born out of years of having a very close mentoring relationship with Kathy Rojas herself. My statements are made from the actual actions of Eddie himself during the whole investigation and court process. On many occasions Eddie omitted information (lying by omission), directly lied, or mislead (lied.) While all of this was happening simultaneously pastoring a church and living daily life as if "nothing serious" really happened. And appearing to be a very godly man that was trusting the Lord.

During our entire nightmare not once has Eddie responded in a given situation the way I would have expected him to. He preached accountability. He preached trusting in the Lord our God. He preached integrity. Not in my wildest dreams would I have speculated Eddie taking his family into hiding to protect his pedophile son. No way! Eddie's heart is not what he leads others to believe.

Please help the Rojas girls.

I haven't focused much on my concern for the Rojas girls so far. This post will focus on that.

I have focused so much information on Eddie because the felony warrant is for him. I have also wanted as much information out there on Patrick Rojas simply because he is out in the community without any appropriate accountability. Patrick’s accountability with his brother, Jairus, has already proven to amount to be no more than a joke. The elders of our former church have already proved their disregard for our legal system, just as they have proved their acceptance of pedophile behavior.

I am exceedingly nervous about Patrick grooming another family and victimizing another child. It is a pedophilia’s job to gain trust and look for an opportunity to safely victimize. Most pedophiles are exceptionally patience. Part of what empowers someone like Patrick Rojas is the grooming process. He's good at it. He appears trustworthy. This is how he operated with us, even as he schemed to victimize.

One of my three reasons for continuing with this blog and asking others to pass these posts to all of their contacts is because of the Rojas girls. In my opinion, the girls in that family have been brainwashed by their domineering, felon father. For that matter, I believe all the children under Eddie have a very twisted, very unbiblical view of what is right and pure and Godly.

These additional victims of Patrick's need professional help. Have you dared to really look at the details and the extent in which they were victimized by their brother? God can heal their heart. God can help them forgive. God can redeem what was stolen from them. But think, for a moment, how difficult it will be for them to begin healing while they are living on the run from the law with their father, who has chosen time and time again to put his own safety above their own. Their father has chosen to keep them from help in order to protect their pedophilic brother.

It is my understanding that Eddie is of the mindset that the only “help” the girls need should come from their relationship with God and Eddie himself. I believe that God uses others in our healing process. I believe the healing process for childhood sexual abuse goes beyond the supernatural. From my own personal story, along with many other survivors of childhood sexual abuse, one resounding thing I hear is the long-term struggle to put the abuse behind them. In one way or the other, there are consequences of abuse. Eating disorders, cutting, drugs and alcohol abuse along with sexual issues as adults are all linked directly to victims of childhood sexual abuse who never told, never sought out qualified profession help to deal with all the complex emotions that are a result of being a child victim in particular. In the worst cases, they never were believed. Their abuse was minimized or ignored.

If you know where Eddie is hiding, please turn him in, if for no other reason than do it for the girls. With everything you have read on my blog, with the fact that Eddie took the girls on the run to protect Patrick, his pedophilia son, do you believe that Eddie has the best interest of his victimized girls in mind? It seems to me that Eddie does not want to face the gravity of the consequences of the crimes that were committed against his own daughters? Is Eddie in denial? Is Eddie also a perpetrator?

Imagine if your own daughters were at risk. Please help, before it is too late for these innocent young women.

Shake! Shake! Shake!

Shake! Shake! Shake! This is me shaking you! If you know where Eddie and Kathy are hiding and keeping it secret, please stop right now and consider what you are doing. You are protecting a known felon. You may be breaking the law, simply by helping protect a criminal. And you may be continuing to put innocent girls at further risk of sexual abuse. Is this what you want for your legacy? Is this what you want on your conscience?

I wish all I had to do was ask that question and the veil would be removed from your eyes. I'm not quite sure what formulation of thought or specific scripture God will use to open your eyes, so that is one reason I keep communicating basically the same thing from different angles. I like very much that Brian from Brian's Bits (as of 3/11/10 Brian has removed his articles.) He has such a different approach than I do in his writing style and content, but again the message is the same:

Eddie Rojas must step into the light and face the charges before him.

The Rojas girls need to be professionally helped by someone the family trusts.

Patrick Rojas needs to spare his sisters and his other victims by contacting the prosecutor on his case, Kelly Montgomery, and by naming his additional victims. He needs to accept his due consequences.

The adult Rojas children need to stop helping their father in his sin. I particularly hold the two adult sons, Jairus and Benjamin, responsible for this. They are adults. They are old enough to know better. They are no longer under Eddie's thumb.

The Rojas family needs to put their trust in Gods' hands. They need to allow true justice to happen.

Mind-set of the individuals who aid and abet Eddie and Kathy on the run.

Eddie has really played up the fear of the humanistic government taking away his children to gain and sustain support. There is a huge sub-culture of Christians who have a real fear that our government is specifically out to get them simply because of their Christian faith. The Rojas's have insinuated that because of their Christian beliefs and practices the state would take their girls and destroy their family. This sub-set of Christians that help them, buy that hook-line and sinker, because the Rojas's seem so "Godly." Do these people even take one moment to consider further that maybe just maybe there is a felony warrant out on Eddie Rojas because he actually committed a real crime?

Don't the Rojas' look so normal?

I finally have some photos that Jairus has no claim to. I have the permission of the owner of the photos to post them on my blog.

Don't the Rojas' look so normal? That's the point! Wherever they are I am sure they are putting on a "happy" face. The photos are from quite awhile ago but as of 2007 both Eddie and Kathy pretty much looked like these photos. Maybe you could add a few pounds, a beard/mustache, and on occasion glasses when your looking for Eddie.

If you have any photos of Eddie or Kathy that were taken after 2001 that you personally took and are willing to allow me to post, please e-mail them to me.

totallycracker@nventure.com

Oh by the way...According to Patrick's sexual psychological evaluation, at the time of these photos Eddie and Kathy both knew of at least two pedophilia incidents between Patrick and his own sisters. Eddie never notified the police. Eddie did not get qualified outside help for his little girls. Eddie kept Patrick's sexual crimes a secret.
