Page "Murder of Jesse Dirkhising" Paragraph 5

Police found in Carpenter's home material of a pedophile nature, including instructions on how to sedate a child, and a diagram of how to tie up and position the boy, as well as other notes of fantasies of molesting children.

It was speculated that one of the men planned the assault and the other carried it out.

The Arkansas State Police recorded in their affidavit a statement by Brown that he had been molesting Dirkhising for at least two months prior to Dirkhising's death.

Brown called the molestation ' horseplay ' and claimed that Dirkhising was a willing participant.

According to age of consent laws in Arkansas, Dirkhising was incapable of giving informed consent for sexual activity.
