ROMANTIC SCAM INFO

Method info:

Likes being involved with married women and/or women in committed relationships. Opportunistic. Generally likes women with heart shaped faces and long hair. Uses multiple throw-away cell phones to manage calls and is opportunistic about calling... calling from bathrooms, the car on quick store trips, etc. Uses the excuse that he is working to meet with women but doesn't usually actually produce any work.

Other info:

Please also visit the Advice To Victims information for general advice if that is why you are reading this.

If you have been involved with him on a more intimate level please just get yourself tested. Update 12/07: Richard has been exposed to herpes. A woman/former lover has tested positive (name not listed anywhere on this site) and confirmed it to me. Another girlfriend has had repeated bouts with HPV after sleeping with him. Another former girlfriend ALLEGEDLY has Hep C... that one was definitely told to me second hand, but is too serious NOT to mention as a possibility. Just use your good sense as you would in any relationship. Links to clinics http://www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/STD/facility.htm

Incidentally, one of his more recent victims tells me the way he handles the multiple girlfriends is to tell one that the other one is something non-threatening like a "homely lesbian" or that he is doing counseling with them (he told the victim one lover was a "drug user" and he was doing couples counseling with her and her husband. Her husband assures me that is not the case). At one point he was involved with four women in the World Meditation Ensemble and was telling them all that they must not act like he and they were together in public because "he didn't know who was leaking [me] information from the band" and *I* might find out and "stalk them!" What a story. So they didn't even know about each other and they were in the same musical group.

He also originally had his 2007-2009 live-in leaving the house before band practices so the other members would not know she lived there, claimed to Eve (see victims) that his live-in was his health care worker, and encouraged his live in to have a romantic relationship with a male band member to keep him active in the band.

I have recently been asked to add that "there is both a video camera and a webcam in the costume room." I'm not sure what that means (if there is internet feed, or internal feed to a house computer, or what) but it jibes with many old reports of hidden video cameras in the house and some past attempts at silencing women through attempted extortion (threatening to publish risque photos and videos).

Recently it appears that aggressive acts may have escalated (see OTHER CASE HISTORIES). In the past there have been restraining orders, now it looks like it may be more important than in the past to pursue one at the first sign you may need it.
