A True SCUMBAG The ONLY truly effective Treatment and/or "cure" for such an Individual is a large caliber dosage of Hot-Lead injected directly to the Cranium via the Otic Canal or Ocular socket. I assume this P.O.S. was a valued member of the "Other" ?...

Dave was very well known and well liked by a LOT of people, both on this board and several other boards. Dave was the one who started and organized the "Rockies Gold" events in Colorado. I really liked Dave. I don't know the whole story and probably never will, but I for one am smart enough to know you should NEVER put yourself into a situation where any sort of allegations could be leveled against you, whether they're true or not. I know he was very involved in the youth groups in Woodland Park for many years and helped a LOT of young people and nothing like this was ever said or alleged. Whether or not this particular individual had an ax to grind or not, I don't know. Maybe he did. Maybe he and his family targeted Dave to see if they could get something from him. I don't know. But I would NEVER have been alone in a "Hot Tub" with a 17 year old. I would NEVER have ANY compromising pictures on my computer. Evidently, the police found enough evidence for the D.A. to make a case and the grand jury decided to indict. Like I said originally, I'm disappointed.

I appreciate the 411 and can also appreciate your (and others) divided sentiment & troubling quandary....
Where there is "smoke" (obviously so in this Case)-there IS "Fire". Demons & Monsters do indeed exist, lurk and thrive in the most un-seeming of shells.

Agree Bart. Had some great times with Dave. Hope he gets help and his life straight.

Truly does suck. I liked Dave. He had us to his home during RG07 and, well, You just never know.

Sad for all involved. Hard to imagine how far and fast we can fall. I'd prefer to remember the Dave I knew.

I had exactly one run-in with Mr. Turley - that was back in...hmmm...'08 or '09. In lieu of a RG ride, a few here in the sticker patch put together a very low-key ride-in up in Prescott, AZ.
When a couple of us wanted to ride together, he thought that there was just too many in the group (we took the group from 5 bikes to 6, I believe...), two of us said "Screw that, see you back here later!" and we went off - with our SO's - and had an enjoyable ride.
The situation just stinks all around, and that's about all that can be stated.

For whatever reason, I caught wind of this LAST SUMMER while we were doing the "Ramblin' Man Tour". Personally, I was not surprised at all by this. Having known Dave since 2007, my assessment of him was that he was a likable guy. A very gregarious guy, indeed. However, my gift of discernment rang true once again as I noticed it was somewhat "queer" for a grown-ass man to be taking a shining to so many young boys, as evidenced by all the pictures he posted. One doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to deduce that "something was rotten in Denmark." OK, a pic here and there wouldn't have raised any red flags, but his incessant photo ops with young teenage boys was enough to show up on my radar - no doubt in my military mind!
To say that I'm saddened by this could lead some to believe I may condone his behavior. I have very little sympathy - scratch that - I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for this deviant behavior. And even though I'm accused of being on the somewhat conservative side of the aisle, I am in no way a homophobe. I just take exception to child molestation - PERIOD!
My heart goes out to the credulous, impressionable, young men Dave took advantage of. Shame on him!
