How Chad Curtis Went From Clubhouse Cancer To Convicted Sex Offender

Curtis was convicted of six counts of criminal sexual conduct related to the molestation of three students. Upon his sentencing in October, when he received the maximum allowable, he was given a chance to speak on his behalf. He responded with a nearly hourlong speech that the prosecutor called “the most selfish, self-serving, victim-blaming statement I’ve heard in my career.”

He said Jessica invented “fake-type injuries” and added, “I didn’t touch Jessica for my sexual purposes. I tried to touch Jessica mentally and emotionally for her benefit and physically for her benefit.”

Jessica left the courtroom at hearing this. Curtis said after her, “I hope that’s hard for her, and I hope that from that hardness she says what is true.”

When Kayla returned, Curtis said that in order to maintain proper boundaries between the two of them, he had recruited her older brother to coach a sixth-grade football team with him. “Having [him] around a little bit more would be good accountability for her and myself,” he said. “It was something that needed to be controlled. We came to the conclusion that we needed to stay out of a situation where we could be tempted to fall into a situation that wouldn’t be good for either one of us.”

Curtis continued, saying he hoped he and Kayla “could write a book together some day, and it would be to the positive benefit of millions of people.”

In his jailhouse interview with Hanlon, Curtis strikes the same tone. He compares his victims to the show Pretty Little Liars, and maintains that God will have them recant their false accusations. He says he prays for them every day to do the right thing.

As for why he himself has to suffer for what he insists are the sins of others? That’s nothing new to Chad Curtis. “Jesus lived the perfect life,” he says, “and that got him crucified.”
