Child porn suspect felt torn between two worlds

Kenneth Gourlay, the now 28 year old, who was accused of molesting 13 year old Justin Berry, was torn between his love of God and his attraction to young boys. He got into pornography via the Internet while a student at the University of Michigan in 1999.

Last week, a computer was seized from Gourlay's home. A deleted file of his diary was found on the harddrive.

"The biggest struggle for me lately is trying to cope with my sexual desires," Gourlay, now 28, wrote in a computerized diary in August 2000. "Unfortunately, I don't know what to do besides wait for God to finish."

Justin Berry testified that he was enticed into the Internet sex trade, lured to Ann Arbor and molested by Gourlay. Gourlay is now charged with 10 felony counts related to pornography and molestation of a minor in 2001. He could get a maximum of 20 years on any of those charges.
