Sex offender wins lotto meant to benefit sex abuse charity

January 13, 2009

I was looking for an update on Gov Palin's Wasilla Bible Church arson (there isn't any) and ran across this on KTUU 2 news.

Alec Ahsoak of Anchorage, a three-time sex offender (caught only three times sexually abusing a minor) won a raffle that was meant to benefit Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) - a sex abuse victims charity. He won $500K (net 350k) in the first statewide lotto. When he was found out he said he was going to donate $100K to STAR. What is the chance of that happening? There's something despicably disgusting about this that goes beyond irony. There should be something to stop him from receiving it. At least the public knows who he is now.

I didn't know that Alaska had the highest rate of sexual abuse in the US. Maybe that's why newly elected US Senator Al Franken (MN-D) thought it would be ok to write a SNL incest "sketch" directed at Todd Palin.
