I’m with some of you on an extremely harsh punishment for these sick *****. What the **** is wrong with people?
Between this and the story out of Fort Dodge, it's made me sick to my stomach these people are out there.

More details from the Ames Tribune on the investigation and how the local business owners are working to kick this guy out. I know earlier in this thread someone was wondering about the number of owners for so f of these businesses. It mentions Inside Golf has ownership split between 7 people with Markley being a minority owner. I know some of this wasn’t clear in earlier stories.

My hunch would be others involved had zero clue anything was going on. This isn't someone just cooking the books or doing borderline shady stuff...this is gross crimes against youth. I would also guess they are equally as interested in ensuring the police have access to show they knew nothing and fully cooperate with the investigation for the same reasons.

Hoping those impacted by his crimes are surrounded with support and this story maybe helps others get support if they were living in fear.

Maybe I’ve heard wrong but I thought one of the owner(investors) of perfect games and the golf deal in the mall includes Sage Rosenfels as well.

Not to make lite of a heinous act/situation, but am I the only one who finds it mildly amusing that "Pimping" is the actual description for a felony? Thought it would have a slightly more serious description or job title.

Otherwise, this guy, when he goes away, is not going to have many friends (or maybe a lot of "friends") in prison.
I'll be honest, when I read it I just read it out loud in a Katt WIlliams voice reflexively.

Kind of like the AAU coach here in Eastern Iowa (lived in Monticello) that did this for quite a while, mostly gathered them while rooming with the boys on trips.
I bought a car from that guy at their family dealership two years before that all came out. He definitely gave off a creepy vibe and we talked about it at the time. Maybe if he's selling you on getting your kid a college scholarship you overlook that, but I'd hope not.
