If the guy wasn't 'gay' - he wouldn't have abducted that boy. Cause and Effect. Because the guy enjoyed ramming into the butt of another male, he found a boy to attack. If the guy did NOT enjoy such behavior, that boy would have been safe.
KING COUNTY - First he asked for a plea bargain.
Then he fired his attorney.
Now Richard Dunn says he did not kidnap and molest a young boy.
After three years of delays, Dunn is finally on trial. Thursday, he told KOMO 4 News this is a case of mistaken identity.
"The state has the burden of proof, says Richard Dunn.
He is accused of kidnapping and molesting a first grader.
"Are you telling me that you're innocent?" asks KOMO 4 News reporter Michelle Esteban. "Yes, I'm innocent!" he replied
In June of 2001, when police found a 6-year-old under a blanket in Dunn's bed, the boy was bruised, bound and gagged.
Prosecutors says they found Dunn's DNA on the boy's body and in his clothes. It leads them to believe Dunn molested the boy.
"The defendant kidnapped the boy for his own personal and sexual gratification," says Senior Deputy Prosecutor Scott O'Toole.
But Dunn insists he didn't do it and doesn't know how the boy got in his bed.
"He said, 'I don't know nothing about that kid,' " says O'Toole.
Dunn's attorney says it's not so cut and dry. When police asked if the boy if he was sexually assaulted, the 6-year-old said no.
"I believe when the facts are brought out, there will be reasonable doubt," says Nick Marchi, Dunn's attorney.
But O'Toole says under case law, he can prove Dunn not only snatched the boy from a nearby playground, but held him hostage in his bedroom for sex just by establishing the presence of Dunn's DNA on the victim.
O'Toole says another man -- Dunn's former lover -- will testify that Dunn had a penchant for young boys, especially when he was under stress.
"The thing he would consistently say when he was stressed was, 'I need a boy, I need a boy to relieve my stress,' " says O'Toole.
On June 20, the day the boy disappeared, O'Toole says Richard Dunn was stressed. His partner of 10 years had just left him. The prosecution says Dunn not only needed a boy that day -- he found one.
Dunn is also charged with possession of child pornography.
Prosecutors say 63,000 images of children being sexually abused were on his computer.
The trial could last 3 weeks.
