Sex offender working for Operation Save America

To:  Flip Bentham, director of Operation Save America

According to several law enforcement resources one of your longtime operatives, Scott Heldreth of Kannapolis, North Carolina; is a sex offender. More importantly, Heldreth is out of compliance with registration requirements in Florida and North Carolina.

Heldreth was found guilty of two counts of child rape in 1992 while a student at Ohio University. He later moved to Illinois, where in 1999 he was arrested for harassing an abortion doctor. The police discovered he hadn't registered as a sex offender when he moved to Illinois and charged him for that as well. He received probation and apparently remains in good standing there. He later moved to Florida and registered as a sex offender there--but failed to inform Florida authorities he was moving to North Carolina. This caused the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to list him as "absconded from registration." Even more seriously, Heldreth failed to register as a sex offender in North Carolina.

Heldreth has taken part in several Operation Save America outreaches to high schools in the Charlotte area. While we would like to think that Heldreth didn't inform you about his past, the fact remains that a sex offender was in a position where he could have had contact with minors--both at these outreaches, at OSA protests, and at the protests at Terri's hospice.

It goes without saying that an explanation for this is in order.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
