Man Pays Teens to Spit in His Face
“A 39-year-old Southern California man has been arrested for misdemeanor child annoyance after allegedly paying a teenager $31 to spit in his face. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department says Charles Hersel was arrested Wednesday in a sting operation at a mall in Thousand Oaks. He’s free from jail pending a court hearing. A sheriff’s statement says Westlake High School students claimed Hersel paid them to yell profanities, spit and slap him in the face. Several also claimed he offered them cash to urinate and defecate on him. A motive wasn’t clear. Authorities say Hersel contacted some teens through the MySpace social networking site. Hersel couldn’t be reached for comment Friday. He had no listed phone number in Thousand Oaks.” — San Francisco Chronicle (U.S.)
Here is a photograph of Mr Hersel. He has brown eyes, a small mouth, large cheeks, and ears that look like they’ve been surgically stapled to the sides of his head. The news reports make no mention of his profession, but his appearance suggests a line of work ranging from sports agent to car salesman. Of course, appearances can be deceptive. His colleagues, whoever they are, probably had no idea he liked to be humiliated by the Westlake Warriors. According to another report, “It didn’t take long for word to spread among local teens that they could get paid to spit in a man’s face.” Easy money.
Unlike the “saliva fetish” pervert — a guy who would obtain spittle from young girls under false pretenses and then masturbate with it — Mr Hersel apparently sought from teen boys what many men seek from sadists, masters, and dominatrixes. What he wanted to do was not uncommon, nor who he wanted to do it. Thus far there have been no reports that he sought out boys younger than 16 or so. A law blog expresses skepticism about the worth of even arresting the guy: “After years of practicing criminal law, most lawyers will never see a charge of ‘child annoyance’ being prosecuted. The question for many is whether with California’s budget crisis, this is a crime truly worth prosecuting and spending precious local resources on.”
It would be interesting to calculate how much money is spent every year on the criminalization of sexual behaviors. In America, there has doubtless been a drastic decrease in the amount spent on the criminalization of homosexuality. Conversely, there has been an exponential increase in the amount spent on pedophilia. Probably that is quite rational, since a child has less ability to engage in a consensual relationship with an adult than an adult has to engage with another person of the same gender. But how much is a society willing to pony up to rid itself of any given form of deviance? Is a billion dollars too much or too little to combat perversion x? Or what if the question was posed on a very direct, individual level… How much tax would you be willing to pay to combat, say, pedophilia? Ten dollars a year? A hundred? A thousand? More? Or to the contrary, would you pay to promote rather than suppress it?
??? Weird as all that is, what actually catches my eye is the Thirty ONE $! How come thirty one? I take it ye have 10$ bills? So, he pulled off three of those and then stuck his hand in his pocket for a 1$? Weird!
Oh my. I wonder if this is “Westlake Warriors” specific–there is the off chance that he’s a former football player for one of Westlake’s rivals, still working out some old losing-streak issues? Looks as if he might still be on that streak…. I would be fascinated to see survey results on what taxpayers are willing to spend in this regard–it would come down to “pet peeves,” I suppose, but I’d be interested in seeing what regional variation there is. Could be quite telling.
“??? Weird as all that is, what actually catches my eye is the Thirty ONE $! How come thirty one? I take it ye have 10$ bills? So, he pulled off three of those and then stuck his hand in his pocket for a 1$? Weird!”
Well, maybe the number 31 had some kind of symbolism, significance, or meaning to him. I myself attach meanings to some numbers. Also he probably figured to pay them 31 dollars as he thought spitting in someone’s face wasn’t the hardest thing in the world to do, and there were things he valued more than being spat upon, and these were teenagers. He probably didn’t think they would have gone further than 31 dollars and he probably was old fashioned and didn’t know teens these days have devices like I-Pods and I-Pod Minis. Who knows the mentality of this weirdo?
This is a strange story. However, as an attorney I can tell you that this incident does not meet the requirements for a child annoyance conviction. As such, I believe that a fine, some probation and counseling are in order for this young man. The law is the law. The motive here, if there even was any,can not be considered sexual as there is no evidence for that in the details that the media have documented. This is frankly a waste of tax payer dollars, in Ventura County people are just struggling to survive and feed their families. The cops have real criminals to catch and they wasted their time on this guy. Anyway, such is the criminal justice system in California.:(
Dear PervScan,

PLEASE UPDATE THIS ARTICLE TO REFLECT MY NOT GUILTY VERDICT. CONNOR GANTT, KEATS STANLEY, AUSTIN PERRY AND JOSEPH MATHEWS (JP) pressed charges against me, spat on me,yelled profanities and took money from me for this. JOSEPH MATHEWS also smacked me very hard in the face as well for cash. CHRIS ANDERSON also yelled profanities from me and got cash from me for it. ALL OF THE ABOVE GUYS ARE OVER 18 YEARS OLD AND LAUGHED AT ME AND ENJOYED ABUSING ME AND TAKING MY MONEY. THEY all also brought many of their friends to do the same thing to me. I HAVE BEEN CLEARED OF ALL THE CHARGES BY A UNANIMOUS JURY VERDICT so I just wanted to tell my side of the story now that I have won my case. Sincerely,THE REAL CHARLES HERSEL
Also, ALL OF THE ABOVE GUYS GRADUATED FROM WESTLAKE VILLAGE HIGH SCHOOL IN WESTLAKE, CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR IN 2011!

Dear Site,
this is Charles Hersel. I was acquitted of these child annoyance charges on February 7, 2012 by a unanimous jury verdict at Ventura Superior Court on February 7, 2012 in under an hour! Charges were pressed against me by the parents of CONNOR GANTT, KEATS STANLEY, JOSPEH MATHEWS (JP MATHEWS), CHRIS ANDERSON AND AUSTIN PERRY. CONNOR GANTT, KEATS STANLEY, AUSTIN PERRY, AND JOSPEH MATHEWS all spat on me and yelled profanities at me for cash. CHRIS ANDERSON yelled profanities at me for cash. ALL OF THE above guys are over 18 years old and all graduated from WESTLAKE VILLAGE HIGH SCHOOL in WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA in 2011. ALSO, JOSEPH MATHEWS smacked me hard in the face and put his shoe in my mouth. I asked for this mistreatment because I was a survivor of severe childhood abuse. ALL of the guys are over 18 years old and all of them laughed,were very excited and really enjoyed abusing me and mistreating me. They brought their friends and they also did the same thing. GREG KARAKASHIAN, NICK WEAVER, and ZACK WEAVER spat on me and yelled profanities at me for cash. These three guys graduated from WESTLAKE VILLAGE HIGH SCHOOL in 2010 (WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CALIFORNIA). WHAZIYA DUPRIS, ANDREW CAMMUCCIO and PATRICK SANDS all said they would spit on me and yell profanities at me for cash, but we never actually met up. BRIAN BROUSSEAU spat on me, yelled profanities at me,smacked me and put his shoe in my mouth, per my request. TUCKER HIGGINS said that he would yell profanities at me for cash, but we never met up. AGAIN, all of these guys laughed, were very excited and mistreated me as they were having a great time and thought abusing me was fun for them! Again I won my trial and the case was closed.
Sincerely,
CHARLES HERSEL
Well you know. If you study science quite into it’s detail in a sense homosexuallity is like an offshoot of a woman. Hence the spit.
