Did he just get out of bed?

Looks like a nice guy! NOT! How disgusting can you get. But the experts say porn
is not harmful. Yeah right we are just raising a bunch of perverts.

If that thirty year old female teacher who had sex three times with her
seventeen year old student got thirty days in jail, I wonder how much this guy
who didn't have sex will get? A week? Maybe two?
Who am I kidding. They don't treat these things the same for ugly people or men. He'll be gone for five years if this goes to court and the allegations are proven correct. I am still mad that the woman pedophile got off with less than a slap on the wrist.

Since the guy's last name is Hansen, I wonder what religion he was raised
in? What religion do most of the people named Hansen in Utah follow? And why
do I suspect that if he was a Catholic or a Baptist that the DesNews would have
included that information?

I graduated Brighton High and 1991 and this guy was hanging out there back then.
He always followed the basketball team around to their games, was always
close-by. He always dresses like a coach would during pratice -- Nike wind
breaker, Nike pants, etc.

Wandering Again...your statements are symptomatic of a delusional individual.

I am a Brighton High graduate of ten years ago, and Brian was always a fixture
at sporting events. If anybody knows Brian, they know that he does not have the
mental capacity or reasoning ability of a normal adult. Does this not come into
consideration? I am not denying that he has committed a crime but it disgusts
me that people are not questioning the teenagers who entrapped him.
bilbo | 2:17 p.m. May 17, 2008
How do you know the kids are not being questioned?
If he is below adult mental capacity, then he should be monitored more than he was. ...in the situation he was in.

What kind of kids would participate in something like this--has the whole world
gone nuts?
who else is responsible? | 8:19 p.m. May 17, 2008
It is a very good point to ask about the teenagers that were involved in this.
Brian doesn't have the mental capacity or reasoning ability of a normal
adult... That is clear when you speak with him. So who are these teenagers that
are demented enough to supply and sell pornography to him!? Seriously, what is
worse; the handicapped individual that was manipulated, or the people who
manipulated the handicapped individual!? Brian is only as dangerous as the
people around him. If Brian had asked these kids for porn, why didn't they
report him? Probably because they initiated the whole thing and entrapped him
because they knew they could. And as far as the people that are making fun and
judging Brian on how he looks... step up and post your own pic. Let's see
how much better you look.
Good for you! | 11:14 p.m. May 17, 2008
To who else is responsible--GOOD FOR YOU! Thank you for your post.

...I don't think anyone here is qualified to make judgements on his sanity,
but the kids definitely deserve to be busted as well. Just because they're
"minors" doesn't mean they didn't know what they were doing.
They were probably only one or two years away from legal adult. I'm in
highschool, and I know they know what they were doing was disgusting, illegal,
and wrong, not to mention stupid.
Wondering again, you show not only signs of delusions, but also those of an individual who, in a state of manic paranoia, sees innuendoes, slurs, or discriminations in everything. I just loathe that type, you know? you sound like an idiot or a democrat. (sorry for the redundancy)

Brian was the manager for the basketball team when I played there. He was always
a little off, but always polite and never offensive. I'm proud to say I was
one of the few on the team that actually gave him the time of day, didn't
make fun of him, etc. I talked to him a lot through the years and he never did
anything offensive. He even gave out candy presents at Xmas to the players. I am
saddened to see this happen, and I hope he can get the help he needs. Wondering
again, I like where your head is at, but the guy changed his name.
Lapaetos, if you really believe that there isn't discrimination against non-mormons in SLC, you must be a mormon or insane. (sorry for the redundancy)

Brighton Grad 2005 | 7:09 a.m. June 7, 2008
I attended Brighton from 2002-2005. Through this time I remember seeing Brian
around the qym and locker rooms after school. I began to wonder who he was and
asked around. People told me that he wasn't right in the head and that he
refused to have his picture taken because he "was afraid the CIA might get
a copy of it." I even remember students at basketball games deliberately
taking pictures of him. What was strange, though, was that a school
administrator confronted the perpratrators forcing them to delete the pictures,
apparently they knew of Brians paranoia. He was also known for this particular
story he would tell that was far from being school appropriate. I am just
astonished that Brian was never monitored closely over the years. I wonder if
the school knew about the story he would tell to everyone.
