Meet Eric Conti.



Eric was accused (and likely guilty) of scamming in 2011, where he sold over $45k in WSOP action, then made off with almost all of the money. He played a single event -- the $2500 8-game, and cashed about $5700. He ran off with that money and the rest of the nearly $43k in stakes he had collected for other events.

In 2009, he adopted two 10-year-old twin boys. The boys belonged to a "family friend" who lost them, and Eric volunteered to take custody of them and adopt them.

In 2014, he was accused of molesting them between 2011 and 2014. He was convicted in November 2016 and sentenced in December to two eight-year concurrent sentences.

Unfortunately, this means he will likely be released in 2022.

Here is the 2014 article from wesh.com about the accusation:

"According to the arrest report, Conti would repeatedly touch the boys inappropriately, in front of one another, and make them touch him."

What a fucking sicko.

Apparently the police established an ironclad case against him through a "controlled phone call". These calls take place where law enforcement has the victim or cooperating witness call the accused in their presence, and try to say things to get them to admit what they were doing. In this case, the boys called Conti and begged him to stop molesting them. It is not clear what Conti said in response, but it was enough to give the prosecution a very strong case.

Not sure why he only got eight year concurrent sentences. It boggles my mind that someone could molest two boys like that, repeatedly, and get a relatively light sentence.
