WHEN MIKE BROUGHT TROOPER ROSSMAN INTO HIS OFFICE, WHERE I was waiting, I’ve got to admit that the thought of telling my story again was driving me crazy. I could tell that Rossman was trying real hard to relate to me, and he shook my hand really strong. When I first saw him, he reminded me of the guys on all those cop shows. I thought, Whoa, this is one big guy. The first thing he said was “So I hear you run track. I’m a sports guy, too.”

Like I said, I knew that Trooper Rossman was trying to put me at ease. He started talking to me about lifting weights and all this stuff, like I was a little kid who didn’t know exactly what he was doing. But even though he was kind of like a bull in a china shop—like Pap would say—he was a good guy; he just came on a little strong. Then came the time that I had to take my story from the top, and even though the trooper apologized for putting me through that, it took me a good hour to feel comfortable enough to really tell him anything.

The second time that he and I met was a little easier and we spent about two and a half hours together. Mike was there each time and that made a huge difference for me.

The funny thing is, I had a feeling that Trooper Rossman was not comfortable hearing the information from me. He looked tense, and as I gave him more details, he just kept shaking his head like he had a lot of nervous energy and didn’t know what to say. He was awkward, but when I got to a point where I would have a tough time, he would try to assure me that it was okay to talk to him. At one point when I was having a real tough time telling him about the oral sex stuff, he said, “You know what, Aaron? Just because this stuff happened to you, it doesn’t mean you’re gay. You’re a kid and it doesn’t mean you’re going to turn out to be gay.” He meant well but that was the last thing I needed to hear. Here was a guy who was just so macho-looking and he’s telling me that I don’t have to worry about being gay. I wasn’t worried about being gay. By that point, I’d been in therapy long enough to know the difference between child sexual abuse and being gay. Pedophiles are sexual with kids—period. Trooper Rossman meant well, I know that, but it was just awkward. Like one time when he was trying to be real casual about something that was pretty serious and asked, “Did he ever try to put his dick in your butt? I mean his penis in your anus?” On that one, Mike stepped in and said what he’s asking is “Did he ever try to mount you from behind?” He had to help Rossman figure out how to say it.
