The Moscow-Pullman Daily News dedicated today’s front-page top-of-the-fold story to community safety: “Sitler will request to live with son — Sex offender admitted to having ‘contact with his child that resulted in actual sexual stimulation’”; likewise, they ran a jumbo pic of Steven Sitler on the front page of their website (see image below). We uploaded the full story to the Sitler archive, and we note that the Daily News has shown more concern for the Sitler child than anyone in Christ Church, starting with his pastor & elders or any officer in the CREC, and not excluding his grandparents. These wretched people appear bent on feeding the little lamb to the Kirk’s pet child molester at all costs.
Here is a list of Daily News stories & editorial on this subject from the last year:
- Convicted sex offender granted permission to live with his child (August 1, 2015)
- Prosecutor: New disclosures of conduct by Moscow sex offender are ‘state’s worst fears’ (September 2, 2015)
- Our View: Evidence shows Sitler is a clear danger to his own child (September 5, 2015)
- CPS opening investigation into Sitler family (September 9, 2015)
- Assessing risk in sex offender cases (October 10, 2015)
- Chaperones for ‘fixated pedophile’ in training, again (December 30, 2015)
We are indeed fortunate to have a community newspaper staffed by excellent reporters and editorial staff committed to informing readers about issues of interest, including child safety, in Moscow. They have done a tremendous job in covering the Steven Sitler story fairly, accurately, and with integrity.

Dougie Wilson disagrees. Wonder why?
How anyone with half a brain could allow/encourage this pedophile to live with his son is beyond me.
I suspect that less than half a brain (and no heart) are involved here.
I’m going to refrain from the obvious implications here as best I can, but in all earnestness, I fail to understand why some of these people are still conscious and upright. I cannot describe the outrage this story provokes in me, and I don’t even live there.
Imagine if you grew up a victim of sexual abuse and then one day found out there was an archive of news articles/stories all about your situation, and that the people who should have cared about/protected you did not, but strangers on the internet worried for you. Unbelievable, right?
Pastor Wilson if you read this please let that young child just have some peace, his father (hard to type/say that) can have supervised visits with a court-monitored professional court-appointed third party such as a social worker. If competent independent mental health professionals etc say it is safe. Maybe you can put aside the doctrine and just be a person for a second and let this hurting family, especially and foremost the baby, have some peace and a chance at a safe and happy life.
Doug Wilson is a psychopath. Your no doubt well meant plea will fall on deaf ears.
I assume that Sitler has been meeting his wife and son for church at the Kirk on Sundays in the meantime, or at least attending the same services and events. Does anyone know?
Hi Mike: We presume the answer is yes, based on “An Open Letter from Christ Church on Steven Sitler”:
That combined with Wilson’s utter contempt for civil authority.
The request was denied by the Judge: “Judge denies Sitler’s reunification with family”
I was present in the court room this morning. I do not have words to describe the smirking arrogance of Steven Sitler as he sat at the defense table. He was a disgusting spectacle.
Today, according to the court, the ultimate goal is family reunification. It will take time for that to happen. Trusting Katie Sitler to chaperone the monster she is married to is, in my opinion, insanity. I have no idea how long it will take before Sitler is allowed to move into the house, but I don’t think he is banned from the residence altogether at this point. I will try to clarify that issue over the next couple of days.
Bill Thompson, Latah County Prosecutor, did a heroic job in explaining the issues, his concerns, and the risks that Steven Sitler presents to his son.
The outcome today, based on the merits of his arguments, is inexplicable to me.

Thanks for witnessing this for us Rose.
I can think of some very compelling explanations that we would all agree to, but I’d be speculating. Death is too good for these dirtbags.
“Bill Thompson, Latah County Prosecutor, did a heroic job in explaining the issues, his concerns, and the risks that Steven Sitler presents to his son.”
Thompson is doing God’s work. I don’t know the guy, but it seems he is the only person in this legal mess who is fighting for the kid. God bless Bill Thompson.
Fortunately, the representatives of the state are acting to defend the innocent when those who think they speak for God refuse.
