Hey, all he was doing was teaching her what those defending depravity in the “banned books” thread say we should be teaching youngsters.


You could start your own club, get your peer group and all of you could burn some books, because as everyone knows books are the reason.


Later you could go to the library and get all of the books that might give someone a bad idea and burn those too or perhaps a “secure” book room so we can track who reads these and keep an eye on them.

This is why America can’t have nice things.


How can one man do so much good, yet inflict such harm?


Did he do so much good for the community or was he making himself invisible to do this nasty crime?


Pedophiles ALWAYS groom the community. Otherwise, they could not gain access to children.


Indigo boy do you know of what you speak. They groom the victim as well as though around the victim.


This will be a family member or a long time friend of Lenny’s. His early encounters with the law where just the beginning of his crime, he has since perfected it.


I think you and I know there are more victims but only a hand ful will come forward.


for every pedophile who gets caught law enforcement knows there are many victims not identified.


There is a studio photo of him on the Tribune website from January, where Cynthia Lambert reported he was being honored at the Arroyo Grande Citizen of the Year.


This is the same man who volunteers at Woods Humane Society and sponsors lots of fund raisers and charity events. Kind of creepy he is so involved in the community if this is true.


Up until last month, Lenny was the president of the board at Woods. Very sad.


Old Jones & Goodell info shows Lenny Lucien Jones as registered agent.


Lenny Jones, the realtor, was arrested years ago for indecent exposure to a minor, but it was determined to be accidental. It appears that this may be the same person, Lenny Jones, as the name “Lawrence (Lenny) Jones” is mentioned in various entries on the internet. Maybe someone else can help with verification.


Its Lenny.

I remember this also….

I sure hope this child is OK


Is this Lenny Jones the realtor? I hope not, Lenny is such a great volunteer at the Woods Animal Shelter and he was recently honored as Arroyo Grande Citizen of the Year.


Stupid of you to drag Lenny in to this if you don’t know the facts. I’m sure Lenny is happy .
