Maybe not a pedophile.... Maybe gay!

Most of the teens in Mexico when I was there were convinced that Solomon was in fact gay, though I never heard of any "inappropriate" behavior on his part (odd in fact, because inappropriate behavior was rampant in Mexico and often bragged about by teens and adults alike at the time). I believe that even Family leadership acknowledged this and that's why he was the only male allowed to shepherd a teen girl's group at the Mexico TTC. In Maria's (or was it Peter’s? I can't remember) letter to Watchman where she kicked him out of the HCS, there were references to his and Solomon's "special" relationship, (they were both married to Katrina at the same time) Those of us who had lived with this very odd couple couldn't help but wonder exactly how special this relationship was.

I lived with him for many years and he never seemed interested in sex, although most women were interested in him. All the time I knew him he only had 2 short relationships. His endowment was exceptionally small. If he hadn't given his life to the Family, he would no doubt have become a dancing priest of some sort. He wasn't one to get into nitty gritty Family doctrine; God was all that mattered to him. He seemed very Catholic. A good man. Never hurt a fly that I know of; talented and good humored, and very serious when it came to his "calling".
