Summary

Ronald William Brown was a ventriloquist puppeteer on a television program called Joy Junction, a variety show on the Christian Television Network. Last year he received a 20-year sentence for child pornography charges, but the real story is much more disturbing. Brown along with 42 others were netted in a child porn sting that spanned two continents and perpetrators from every walk of life. Believe it or not, the worst part of the story isn't that these individuals wanted to molest children. Instead, their online chat logs revealed a deep desire to murder, mutilate and eat their corpses too. Brown even had a particular victim in mind, a boy that attended his local church. The horrific level of detail in their plans is captured in the eerily benign nature of their back and forth dialog, which has been recreated using computer voices for this program. Sword and Scale has never released a show this disturbing, so if you are sensitive to topics like this please do not listen.

0:00.0	We have covered a lot of disturbing topics here at Sorten Scale.
0:03.7	However, being an audio program, we do our best to gauge our content against what anyone can see on the evening news on a daily basis.
0:11.5	And until now, we've never had to delve this deeply into a topic in which the subject matter is so disturbing that it merits a very strong warning. But since we often say that the
0:23.1	worst monsters are real, there's really no more appropriate example than the story you're about
0:28.5	to hear. This is the first episode to carry an 18 and over label. If you are sensitive to topics
0:34.6	involving crimes against children, I strongly recommend that you
0:39.0	do not listen to this episode. The content is extremely graphic, and if you continue to listen,
0:45.9	you are doing so freely and willingly, knowing that the following audio may cause you extreme
0:51.3	emotional distress, nightmares, and even nausea.
0:55.0	You have been warned. Hello and welcome to episode 20 of Sword and Scale, a show that reveals that the worst monsters are real.
1:33.0	In this episode, we covered the horrific details of the Ronald William Brown case.
1:38.0	But before we get into that, I just wanted to say that on episode 19, we covered the story of Elliot Roger, a mass murderer who killed six people
1:45.9	and then himself in Ila Vista, California.
1:49.7	Since that show aired, which was only about a week ago, there have been three additional
1:56.4	mass shootings.
1:58.0	On June 5th, Aaron Ibarra walked into Otto Miller Hall at Seattle Pacific University and started shootings. On June 5th, Aaron Ibarra walked into Otto Miller Hall at Seattle Pacific University
2:03.6	and started shooting, killing one student and injuring two more. Four days later, on June 5th,
2:09.6	Jared Miller and his wife fatally shot two police officers and a civilian before taking their own
2:15.6	lives in Las Vegas. And then this morning, a student
2:19.9	of Reynolds High School walked into the school with a rifle and opened fire, taking the life of one
2:26.3	other student before killing himself. This tendency towards mass violence doesn't appear to be
2:30.9	fading in any way. In fact, it seems to be escalating exponentially.
