	Case Story
	Cops Say Child Molester Preys On The Innocent
	One of the most tragic aspects of child molestation is the long-term trauma victims often experience. Perpetrators use mind control to get away with their sick crimes. They "groom" their victims, carefully choosing children who will trust and listen to them. Eventually, the physical abuse begins, and by the time anyone can step in, these children have been violated in ways that continue to haunt them -- often for the rest of their lives. Cops say Marlon James Winters is one of these sick criminals who preys on the innocent. They say he uses classic child molestation tactics to commit his crimes -- slowly gaining a child's trust by taking them on bike rides, teaching them to play the drums, and giving them gifts. Once he has their trust, cops say he makes his move, molesting and raping the children. Cops say Winters is able to keep up his behavior by threatening the kids, using his authority as an adult to frighten them into submission.

	New Neighborhood, New Targets
	Cops say Marlon Winters' perverted behavior started in Germany, where he lived and served in the military. Cops say they believe Winters molested his own children, then left his wife and kids to come to Orange County, Texas. Orange County Investigators say in his new neighborhood, Winters targeted his neighbor's little girls--a nine-year-old, and her six-year-old sister. Investigators believe Winters began his typical routine of grooming the girls, referring to the molestation as a "game" that little girls in Germany like to play. Eventually, cops say he began raping and repeatedly assaulting them. Cops say the girls' mother had recently suffered a stroke, and Winters used it to his advantage. They say he told the girls their mother would die if they told anyone about the "games." Cops say Winters also used his adult authority to keep them quiet, telling them no one would believe a child's word over an adult's. Winters thought these tactics were enough to keep the girls quiet. But the younger child didn't understand the "games" and eventually asked her mother about them. In July 1999, Winters was indicted on five counts of Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, and two counts of Indecency with a Child by the Grand Jury of Orange County, Texas. But Winters was able to post the $15,000 bond, and then fled. He hasn't been seen since.

	Cops: He's Still Out There Molesting
	Police say they are certain Winters is out there continuing to molest and sexually assault children. During their investigation and search for Winters, cops found another child the predator was apparently grooming as his next victim. They say he had been teaching her to play drums in his garage and had already heard him talk about his infamous "games." Cops also received reports that Winters had inappropriate contact with some young boys, but they were relatives of Winters and refused to speak about the incidents. Equally troubling was the storage shed authorities found. Winters had stored many of his personal belongings on a relative's property, and among the boxes, cops found dozens of newspaper clippings. But these weren't random sections cut from newspapers, they all had one thing in common -- children. Many of the clippings were of kids from school-related articles, and some even had the kids' names and addresses. Investigators fear Winters was using these clippings to target his next victims. We've already gotten dozens of tips placing Winters throughout the world -- including in Germany and Holland. But, Police are still waiting for that one tip that gets Winters off the streets.
