Gary is a father of three, grandfather of 10 and at one time was a foster father of three. He is also a self-described “virtuous pedophile,” who says he is attracted to young girls between the ages of 6 and 12 – a fact he says he kept from his wife, Tabitha, until five years into their marriage. He also says he didn’t reveal the information to the foster care agency.
TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: Accused of something terrible?
“In 2007, we had three foster children. Tabitha did not know about my sexual attraction,” says Gary who insists he has never acted on his urges. “I was a little hesitant but I didn’t feel a great risk because I’ve been around children pretty much all my life.”
