Joe Mitchell recounts the specific moment he crossed a boundary with a young boy named Tom, leading to a violent confrontation with the boy's parents. He describes the calculated progression of his actions and the immediate legal consequences that followed his return home.
JOE MITCHELL: I could make anything. Tom was the same. He had the gene too. I’d been going round there every Sunday and we’d have, like, a late breakfast and they’d go and wash up and me and Tom would go into the yard and do a bit of welding or something but this time I wanted to show him some good stuff on the internet so we stayed in the room. It was warm and he was wearing a tee shirt and shorts so he was all arms and legs and not an ounce of fat on him. Beautiful. I’d been touching him for weeks. I’d started off on the knee, just a little pat at the end of the session, and I’d gone a bit further up each time and he’d said nothing so I thought, this is it; this is the day I touch his cock. And I touched it and he went ballistic.
