Just looking at the increasing number of local arrests for sex assaults in the schools, just about all the perps are men and most of the victims seem to be more boys than girls.

Yeah, I’d like to know what percentage of the men in schools assaulting boys just happen to be gay men. Why is that such a loaded question? It seems fairly simple to me. (No one is saying that every gay man wants to assault young boys.)

Im not sure what marriage has to do with it. I have many single friends that think the idea of marriage makes them run, and they aren’t child predators.

So people shouldn’t ask? What’s your problem, bro? I’m curious if he’s gay. But you know, homophobia! Just a weird coincidence that so many pedophiles getting caught, are going after young boys. But you saw the parent who said he cornered her daughter after a private birthday event? Maybe he’s bi.


DP but in the case of a pedo I’m not sure gay or straight applies, does it?

So if he isn’t married, he’s gay. I know people that have long term relationships with a girlfriend or boyfriend and neither person wants to get married. 55 percent divorce rate. Marriage sucks

You “guarantee” us Steve h Rossi was never alone with a child before or after a birthday party performance in a busy family home? Perhaps the Fairfax County police department would appreciate you sharing your source.


I am the PP that took his DD to many (maybe 50) performances. I can not speak for any child. But, I can assure you MY CHILD was never alone with him.

Well, well, my friend, aren’t you naive? Your favorite entertainer doesn’t need to be alone with your child. Mr Knick Knack apparently knows how to do his thing right in front of you! All parents here need to wise up, or your child can easily become a victim of some creepy guy.

If your child EVER says “Mr. So and So is creepy”, there’s your clue. You most likely have a pervert on your hands. Trust your kid. Don’t wait quietly for proof. Our job is to call Crime Solvers, and leave an anonymous tip. Report whatever your kid said. Let the investigators do their job. They’ll figure out if there’s anything inappropriate going on. Perhaps all they need is several parents (or kids) reporting similar grooming techniques perpetuated by the same guy. Don’t be afraid to share what may have happened. No one wants any child to be the victim of a perverted child molester.


PP here. Let me make this perfectly clear: 1) DD liked his music. We went from when she was about 1 year to about 3 years and something. At that age, DD did not know creepy. That was his target audience. ES kids would get creepy. Not two year olds. 2) Mr. KK was not my favorite performer. It was my DD's. I would much rather gone to weekly free concerts by Bruce Springsteen, but they were probably two loud for DD and frankly, less free.

I can not speak for private events -- I never hired him.

The Fairfax police are asking *anyone* to please let them know if you suspect *any* questionable behavior that may have occurred. It doesn’t matter how long ago it was, or if you aren’t really positive. They just need for people to communicate with them. It’s the only way to protect children who aren’t able to protect themselves from these predators.

Im not sure why your calling him naive when he said he can’t speak for anyone else, except his own personal experience with mr Knick knack.

Am not at all surprised. Probably lots of other parents were also shocked about some of his behavior. The Fairfax Police Department is asking for parents to share this stuff with them. You don’t have to give them your name if you prefer not to.

Public performances is how they market themselves for the private events.
Not true. These mall and public events pay a lot to have performers there. I have a friend that worked for the marketing department at Potomac mills and they would pay their performers in the 400 dollar range.
I have another friend that was a librarian at a branch in Rockville and they would pay anywhere from 300 to 500 for performers. These shows are usually free to the public, but are paying their performers well.

You’re completely nuts if you think the Rockville public library has the budget to pay $500. for a kid show. Now indulgent parents? The sky’s s the limit! Ask Steve Rossi. Or any one of these guys who do the same thing.
Im just basing it on what a librarian told me. The price fluctuated, depending on how popular entertainer was and how crowded library was when they we’re there. Everyone, according to her, wasn’t paid the same.

You and your friend are completely delusional if you think Rockville Public Library paid anyone $500.00 to screech out a few songs and act like a twit with the kids. This man has no vocal talent.
your delusional if you think they are out there performing these public shows for free.

Check your comprehension. No one said that.

Again, public shows is how they market themselves. Private events is where the big money is. And ACCESS to kids where everything is crazy busy in your house. The young birthday boy might feel extra special when he gets to help Mr Huggy load up his equipment after the show. These men should never be hugging the kids. There’s only one kind of man who wants to hug your child after a show. Parents must be vigilant if they go for these kid shows with men.
According to librarian and person at mall, they are paid huge money, so unless parents are paying over 400, then it sounds like big money is to be made at public appearances. A parent should always be vigilant, no matter where they are with kids. We’ve heard about performer here, but hear coaching or teacher stories once a week. It’s a sad and tragic world out there and always be vigilant, no doubt.
