A Florida sex offender was arrested after he tried to buy an 8-year-old girl for $100,000 at a grocery store.
According to the Port Orange Police Department, Hellmuth Kolb, 85, approached the child’s mom at a Winn Dixie in Port Orange Thursday and made the indecent proposal.
Kolb was on probation and was banned from having contact with children after trying to buy a different child in Walmart in 2018.
Lauren Benning said, “I thought he was just a lonely old man when he first approached my daughter and me. He just came up and he started making comments about how pretty she was and how good her dancing was and how he could never have children and he wanted children.”
Benning said that that the compliments started to turn weird and the interaction took a dark turn.
“Next thing you know, he approached me in the parking lot. Actually chased me down in the parking lot and said ‘Hey, I want to make a deal with you.’ I’d like to buy her for $100,000. I was in complete shock,” Benning continued. “He needs to be locked up and not allowed to be around our children.”
Sicko
I’m telling you, pedophiles CANNOT be rehabilitated. They are sexuly attracted to what they like. If it happens to be little girls or boys or babies or whatever, that’s what they will ALWAYS strive for. Men, if you’re attracted to short chubby white women, would you still be interested in a 6′ 2″ 105 lb black woman? Or women, if you like 6 foolish buff, athletic men, are you sexually attracted to 4’8″ guys hitting 380 lbs? No. The only cure for any sexual predator, especi5child predators is a 9mm lead injection. They won’t stop attacking children until you stop them.
A sex crime against a child should come with automatic death penalty.
I don’t believe pedophiles actually CHOOSE to be that way, people are either born with it or it results from childhood sexual and/or physical abuse they experienced themselves. However, the choice is whether or not to act on it and victimize someone else. It may pose as a tremendous temptation, but ultimately the crime is choosing to act on the abnormal feelings and victimize another innocent person/child. I myself am a victim of severe sexual and prolonged physical abuse. I can tell you that it definitely screws up your (victim’s) life FOREVER; there is no “growing out of it” or getting over it, it’s permanent! For many victims, it turned them into abusers themselves in adulthood. For me, it made me feel dirty and void of sexual feelings/attractions, but life has still been nearly impossible to live and very lonely and void of love, relationships, and friendships; total hell! Any time I hear someone say if someone has been sexually abused they will most likely be an abuser themselves, I cringe, because I know it probably could’ve easily turned out that way and thank God it didn’t! But the real tragedy is my abusers don’t have to live with what they did to me, I do! And forever! When I was molested at age 8 time kind of stopped there for me; I still often see myself as and think like an 8-year-old boy. This has caused me many problems in life and caused me to make many poor judgements. No one cared then and no one does now, society expects you (victim) to still grow up normally and live normally like everybody else! Well, I wish it worked that way but it doesn’t! I have to live with it, not anyone else not even my abusers! While my peers are falling in love, getting married, and starting families I’m left in the dust still thinking of myself as a child! While my peers were reaching puberty and “fooling around” experimenting with sex, etc. I found physical, oral contact with another person to be “dirty”, sickening, and repulsive, which separated me from normal human feelings of love/intimacy and therefore void of feeling love (receiving or giving love). Just as it’s said that people can’t help what they are attracted to and can’t change from what they’re attracted to, I can’t help or change that I’ve been attracted to NOTHING! Not opposite sex, same sex, children, animals, etc.! I thank God that I’m not a sexual predator, but life overall is difficult at best to live in this condition, an extremely lonely and isolated life! Thanks to a couple of past predators who don’t have to live with the consequences of their actions!
