MICHAEL BYRNE IN BRAY CHURCH SACRISTY WITH ARCHBISHOP MARTIN |
IT IS ALLEGED THAT A VERY SERIOUS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON CHURCH PROPERTY IN A PARISH IN BRAY, COUNTY WICKLOW IN 2015.
The incident DID NOT INVOLVE MINORS, UNDERAGE OR VULNERABLE ADULTS.
The incident involved two men who had met through the SILVERDADDIES gay sex site.

The incident involved two men who had met through the SILVERDADDIES gay sex site.
We saw yesterday that Deacon Michael Byrne had a profile on Silverdaddies - a profile that he has since removed.
AS PART OF HIS MAYNOOTH training Michael Byrne was placed in the Bray Parish in Co. Wicklow during 2015 and was involved in the liturgical welcoming of the replica of The Shroud of Turin along with Archbishop Martin and some deacons and priests.

I have spoken by email and telephone with the man who claims to have been a victim in the alleged incident and have passed on all the information - and two photographs he gave me - to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin.
I have also offered the man - that if he wishes to make a complaint to the Garda that I will accompany him to the police station.
I have also asked him to consider speaking directly to Archbishop Martin and have offered to accompany him to such a meeting if he agrees.
The man in question has not made his mind up on these issues at present and I have no intention of putting him under any more pressure than he has been under now for many months.
After yesterday's Blog some "defenders" have suggested that Deacon Byrne's Silverdaddies profile was an old one and is therefore "old news".
These people need to have it pointed out to them that Deacon Byrne published that profile on SILVERDADDIES in 2015 - when he was FOUR YEARS into him seminary training and was just ONE YEAR away from ordination to the diaconate.
In other words he was committed to celibacy for years and a future lifetime.
Why would such a man open a Silverdaddies account in his 4th year in seminary.
They also need to have it pointed out to them that Deacon Byrne was still in touch with at least one man he met on Silverdaddies right up until last Saturday January 7th 2017.
On this occasion he asked the man in question to visit him in "an apartment in Dublin that had been rented for him by the Archdiocese of Dublin".
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin made it very clear to me in the past few days that neither he or anyone in the archdiocese had provided that apartment for Deacon Byrne.
So who paid for the Dublin apartment?
The mind boggles !

ReplyDeleteStrangely suitable location.
words fail me
ReplyDeleteHas Gorgeous ever given you an idea of his justification for his hypocritical behaviour?
ReplyDeleteJust would love to understand the mindset of these people ...
Maith an obair! (Keep up the good work!)
Gorgeous thinks that he can be a priest and have the habits of a rabbit.
DeleteHe has so much knowledge about others - and so many "admirers" that he regards himself as untouchable.
It is some kind of mixture of vanity, arrogance and a brass neck.
This train in running wild and free down a track heading for disaster for himself and others.
Only Diarmuid Martin can stop him.
But will he ? Can he ?
Where is Father Chris Derwin? He told churchgoers in Springfield that he was sick of being pushed around and was taking a sabattical, (a sabattical after 18months a priest?).....what is the real truth? Come on Diarmo tell the truth.
ReplyDeleteFather Derwin seems to be in Limbo even though the Church does not teach Limbo anymore.
DeleteHave you seen this Pat?

ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI seem to see a style now. You hint at things whilst saying nothing new or concrete. So people can think all sorts of things without you having said anything. This story is basically a re-run of yesterday's post.
ReplyDeleteNot true. I am constrained by a number of factors. DM knows everything.
DeleteThen why only speak in shadows on this blog? If DM knows everything why the need to drop stuff here?
Delete1. Respect for the victim.
Delete2. Not to prejudice a police investigation.
3. Every bright reader can read between the lines as well as read the lines.
4. To allow DM to confront MB this weekend and take the necessary action.
Ooh a police investigation... This blog is so educational about bizarre sexual practices like snowballing, that I can't wait to hear what Gorgeous managed to do on church property which would break the law!
DeleteI know 11:22 I'm learning a whole new vocabulary. The whole system is so undone all you can do now is laugh as it implodes. What's to save in all this mess?
DeleteThose two little lying parasites Byrne & Derwin should be f****d out of dublin diocese and told to get a real job.
ReplyDeleteAs for Gaynooth, what a joke of a place, producing all these wasters.
You are right. Maynooth is unleashing huge problems on the Irish church.
DeleteIt needs CLOSED.
Ab Martin always has that depressing crying look on his face in photos. Maybe he is afraid someone who has something on him is going to reveal all. You dont think he is compromized? Oh come on now.
ReplyDeleteHH, I asked DM directly on Monday if he was compromised.
DeleteHe said "No".
Lets see if he does something this weekend about Gorgeous.
That will say a lot.
Said it before these guys live in a parallel universe. They will continue to do so while their lifestyle is being funded
ReplyDeleteDM leaves tomorrow for the Roman Universe where Gorgeous currently resides.
DeleteLet us see what happens in that universe.
Im not holding my breath Pat. Do the laity really care any more apart from the few that blog on here. Even then how much is anonymous and how much is smoke and mirrors. I realise some genuine folk may feel compromised but there has to be an avenue
DeleteThat is the problem in the Church - no open avenues, no accountability, no transparency etc.
DeleteIts still run on a medieval model.
Mind you, 8,000 cared enough to view yesterday's blog.
That would be 8,000 site visits. For example I visited the blog about four times yesterday to see updated comments, but there still must be thousands of people looking at it yesterday.
DeleteTrue. Including c 500 visits from Italy. I imagine more Rome than Venice.
DeleteBon diuorno Roma. Cosa stai facendo? (What the feck are you doing Rome)
DeleteSo many vindictive and vile comments in this blog based on hearsay and unsubstantiated claims. Gutter press is in the halfpenny place compared with this blog and some of the contributions from so called Christians.
ReplyDeletePeople like you allowed Father Brendan Smyth to carry on abusing children for 30 years.
DeleteHis answer to allegations during that 30 years was "hearsay and unsubstantiated claims".
If you yourself are not doing something "strange" you are at least giving cover to those who are.
And THAT is "Christian"!
So 9.05 then why did u come on the blog if u feel that way ?
DeleteAll claims, complaints, reports need to be investigated. That did not happen in the past and that led to horrors. It seems there are still people in the church who do not want claims and complaints investigated.
DeleteBlog is being avidly read here in our College. Discussed at breakfast this morning. English College Student.
ReplyDeleteGreetings to you in the English College.
DeleteWell isn't it lovely how this is uniting us all around the world ! Lol !!

DeleteHas he got a hairy arse? I'd love to see that.....I'm over 50!!!
DeleteHe becomes more Gorgeous in every photo!
ReplyDeleteYou should see the one I have seen without his blue tie :-) Father D. Dublin.
Delete"People like me"? Pat Buckley have the right to ask you to put up or shut up and get your "facts" substantiated in this matter before you go to print. My comments regarding So called Christians might well apply to you also.
ReplyDeleteYou have no rights when it comes to this blog.
DeleteI have revealed all I know to the Church authorities and also talked to the Garda for advice.
SilverDaddies describes itself as: “Free site with personal ads for fans of sexy silver daddies, silver foxes, mature men and naked daddies.”
ReplyDeleteI wonder if DM falls into the 'silver fox' category.
1. The Venerable English College (affectionately known as the Venereal when I was a student in Rome): I suspect if you dig a bit deeper there you would fine some rather exotic goings on ? Remember, it's long since been called the English vice !
ReplyDelete2. Deacon Byrne: What a silly boy ! Having been caught out once, here he is 'exposing' himself again. I remember blogging something some months ago about him and Rory, that they would after having been caught out go through the motions and say all the right things, but would carry on with their antics as before, just being a bit more prudent and careful, especially on social media. Well, Deacon Byrne doesn't appear to be that clever. I do agree somewhat with the post from a few days ago that commented on his psychological state and the fact that in some strange way he wants to be caught out because he knows that he isn't suited for the priestly life.
3. Ab Martin of Dublin really does need to get a grip of this and act decisively. In the photos published on this site, he doesn't look particularly comfortable, so perhaps he already had an inkling of the antics of the people he is sharing the photo with. Now he needs to be firm, which doesn't discount him being merciful and kind to the people concerned, but he does need to resolve Deacon Byrne's position for the good of the Deacon himself, for the good of the Church, and to put an end to all this silliness that continues to do damage.
11.22 I remember being called in by Dominic Conway when I was heavy on the bottle. I promised I would mend my ways and even shed a few crocodile tears. 48 hours later it was business as usual. In my little world I was invincible. Logic had nothing to do with it. Is unhealthy sex like drink or drugs an addiction for some? Eventually I had to pay the piper. What I am saying is the church needs to be proactive in dealing with these guys. If not society needs to call them to. book
DeleteSo let me get this straight, that's an old profile from 2015 that he's since deleted. He's still in contact with some of the sugardaddies and had sex with one of them on church property in Bray. He had sex with another sugardaddy in a rented apartment in Dublin over christmas. Pat has the pictures to prove it in which MJB is clearly identifiable. They were all consenting adults what crime has been comitted? If it is all true why is MJB still in Rome if he is ordained he will surely become Rory Coyle II
ReplyDeleteEven in marriage / partnerships / consensual relationships one party can perpetrate a crime upon the other.
DeleteTheft, rape or blackmail?
DeleteWhich is it Pat theft, rape or blackmail
DeleteI've seen a few pics of Michael without his blue tie also. In fact I have seen his backside in a compromising position and I still have a photo. It's not flattering whatsoever, fat hairy arse. I'd suggest he goes for a sac, back and crack in the limited period of time he has left in Roma.
ReplyDeleteSilver Fox MDA
A hint of jealousy 11.56? Young Byrne is gorgeous and I bet his arse is beautiful too!!!
DeleteGod save us all 😥
ReplyDeleteI agree 11.56, when you are expecting visitors to cum you should mow the lawn
ReplyDeleteFront and back lawn :-)
DeleteCan I have the picture you are referring to, please. I will share it with DM.
DeleteI just sent it to your email. I doubt it can be published on the blog because of its graphic nature
DeleteIt should be posted on the blog. The church does not need these weirdos taking the place of good holy priests.
DeleteMaybe one of his Italian silverhead daddies ordained or non ordained could shave his fat hairy ass before he returns to Dublin. Maybe a good trimming or even maybe a rimming. LOL.
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience the manhole needs a bit of attention as well.
DeleteThat reply Pat Buckley might well have come from the Trump Camp .. No rights to ask a question ?
ReplyDeleteIt has become a repetitious comment of yours to say you have revealed all to Church Authorities - when you are asked to substantiate some of the stuff which appears on these blogs.
What I mean is that I do not answer to you.
DeleteI give as much information on the Blog as I can and that is proper.
As the Blog author I have to make that call.
Seems here, reading between the lines, that the sex on church property was non consensual, in other words rape.
ReplyDeleteMr Byrne will need that shirt and tie, whistle and flute, soon enough. He will going for job interviews in the next while I would think.
ReplyDeleteI wonder did Sugar Canon Daddy provide the apartment for his "Christmas fun"?
Well it cannot have been anything to serious otherwise the alleged 'victim' would have gone to the police. I just don't buy the line that a Silver Daddy was a victim here, and in a vulnerable situation. So unless we are talking about rape, or unwanted sexual contact (hard to credit that one frankly - all sounds very consensual to me), then we are dealing with a rehash of an old story. It does sound possible though that Silver Daddy is a rather vicious old queen who has decided to get some revenge. Silver Daddy is hurting? Doubt it!
ReplyDeleteIt is old news that MB was a bit of a goer. Since I don't have a blue rinse like most of the commentators, I cannot get too excited about it. The fact that he met men on one app or another isn't news, just a finessing of an old tale. If he met someone in January this year for sex (being in contact with someone isn't a crime), then that is new. Otherwise, same old boring story.
The Silverdaddy is not vicious and not after revenge.
DeleteNot all victims to to the police for varioys reasons.
I think this one should.
And the particular alleged crime is a long time on the statute book.
On my last visit to the property the front and back lawns had recently been mowed but I found incense grains in the vicinity of the man hole although they looked quite canon-ical. Fr D. Dublin.
DeleteDid the SilverDaddy expect it gratis? I wonder.
DeleteI'm really surprised that directors of formation, especially Paul Prior, give a hard time to rigid seminarians. I love it when a young man's rigid.
ReplyDeleteThen you would not like Gorgeous. Hes versatile.
Deletehis friend is a 'top'. I must make some enquiries
DeletePerhaps those who were craving for something "really hot" will find their everlasting eternal environment to their liking! . If so, they, themselves will have made that choice--on a daily basis--now.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure this isn't just a big "misunderstanding"? After all there have been other "misunderstandings"!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the latest news surrounding Paul Prior? Has he not been ran out yet?
ReplyDeletePat there are far too many comments published on here from queens
ReplyDeleteAs a non gay person I really don't find them funny.
One is ok, but to keep up the innuendo the blog gets boring
Just stick to the case in hand
P S you didn't publish at least 2 of comments yest, but no matter your blog was inundated yesterday.
PPS. It is a very unhealthy practice to shave off natural hairs, except for surgical procedures, but I expect many sexually active gay people just don't
Understand the need for a healthy body, considering how many S T Ds are arriving At the clinics.
Ya know, I don't mind people having opinions. Some like body hair, others do not. What gets my goat is when people come up with pseudo scientific crap about shaving body hair being unhealthy. Have you ever thought that perhaps retaining the body hair and thus making it more difficult for unhealthy bacteria to be removed from the body is an unhealthy practice? And as a fellow non-gay person, albeit significantly less prejudiced, it is instructive to note that removing pubic hair is a fairly common practice among heteros too. Apart from backwoodsman I imagine. I am glad you have the STD clinic statistics to hand - useful stuff.
DeleteI find some of these dubious comments by (people claiming to be) priests sickening. They are symptomatic of the great rot in the Church.
DeleteI honestly don't understand why some of you think that Deacon Byrne is hot ! I've studied the photos carefully, and except for a cute-ish smile, he's not really got a lot to drool over. He's a bit on the pudgy side I think, and looks to me as though he's a bit wide in the hips. Hence the comment about his big fat hairy arse. He's a young guy, and whatever saving graces he has in the short term will be quickly overtaken by the onset of fat, and he is going to end up a dumpling. And as for the eyebrows ! So, let us not concern ourselves with his looks but be more concerned for his spiritual health and wellbeing .... !
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean he'll be able to celebrate Mass in either the Ordinary and Extraordinary form? Rev Professor Mullaney used to teach Latin in St Patricia's. Everybody found it too distracting when gorgeous was in the lecture hall. Very few verbs were declined, I can assure you.
ReplyDelete15: 11 I got that pic of G. My God! I thought the previous ones I got were graphic. Where did you get it?
DeleteAre you sure it is him, Pat? Whatever about any other part of his anatomy, is his face visible/recognisable? Since DM needs proof!
DeleteYes. In the pic 15:11 sent his face et al is all on display.
DeleteI think he is very foolish to show his face and other parts in the one pic.
That led to Rory Coyle's downfall with his former student.
The word of the moment appears to be Kompromat...
DeleteTRS
Could be be Photoshopped? I wonder.
DeleteShare the picture in tomorrows blog
DeleteSurely now - Diarmuid has his proof??!
DeleteI was on the website of Dublin Archdiocese the other day looking for some information. One thing that struck me was the sheer number of priests. Albeit smaller, there are still a very significant number. Can you imagine, at the current minuscule rate of vocations in the Dublin Archdiocese, what that list will look like in 10-20 years? It will go off a cliff. I am not sure what vocations numbers are like in Dublin, but I have a feeling we are talking about a small handful of ordinations each year (if even that). While some of the goings on at Maynooth are indeed amusing, the serious side to all of this is that that place is destroying vocations.
ReplyDeleteImagine that we had a seminary doing its job properly with good formators. Vocations that are now wasted might have been transformed with good guidance. Today's story perhaps provides titillation for some, but there is a very serious side to it. If the story is true, I don't believe that any of that was inevitable - people have negative elements to their character but that can be dealt with.
The problem is Maynooth. It fails its students and it is failing the church in Ireland. It is not fit for mission. The only thing keeping it open is pride - that great 'Catholic' Ireland won't have its own seminary any more on its own soil - what a blow to pride. We need to follow Scotland's example - close it down and move everything to Rome for the time being. If we can reopen a new seminary in Ireland after a few years on better terms, then well and good.
TRS
The Irish Bishops do not want to face reality so they will obfuscate and deny as far as possible when it comes to Maynooth or any other thorny issue. They don't want to face the truth about the crumbling church around them. Zero imagination and totally risk averse. No surprise RTE is reporting that they have shelved the married priest proposal and won't be mentioning it to the Pope when they meet him.
ReplyDeleteAt this point in time, I don't think we should see it as a negative that the bishops have "shelved" the married priest proposal. As I see it, to make this proposal would be another attempt to obfuscate and deny, as you rightly point out that they are doing, Anon.17:11. The problem, as Anon.17:10 (along with others) has pointed out, is Maynooth - the bishops will discuss anything else but a proper clean-up of Maynooth, which would undoubtedly have a positive effect on vocations to priesthood. On this very blog, a number of commentators over the past few months have indicated that they would consider a vocation to priesthood but can't pursue it because they can't face the prospect of studying in Maynooth. Rather than deal with the issue of a poisonous seminary, the bishops will make proposals which seem easier and which won't upset the status quo in Maynooth, such as married priests or female deacons. Had they opted to present this proposal to Francis, it would have signaled to me yet another example of how they are avoiding the root causes of the vocations crisis, one of which is unquestionably Maynooth.
DeleteHow's about Queens College Maynooth as a rename!
ReplyDeleteWell it was built by the Brits.
Deleteas a republican I find that distasteful
DeleteIt was endowed in 1795 under King George III as the Royal Catholic College - a English plot to destroy the Popish religion in Ireland.
Deletenow its a vibrant college that trains priests and lay people. I for one am a lay person who was educated there. a fantastic place. I found that I was never alone and could talk about personal or academic matters with any of the staff.
DeleteMons.Connolly was president then. I didn't really know him but he always bid me the time of day when we met in the corridor. Fr Mullaney was very helpful always but he didn't lecture me. I did a couple of modules with seminarians and we had the best of laughs. Very much enjoyed my experience cant speak for others.

17:57, the Brits would probably find YOU distasteful.
DeleteAs a Brit who is has strong Irish ancestry, and is an open supporter of SF and Irish independence, I disagree!
DeleteYou're not really a Brit, then, are you? Not at heart.
DeleteCocktail hour and so levity time.... Q. Whats the difference between a lentil and a chickpea?
ReplyDeleteA. The president elect would not pay €1000 to have a lentil on him!!
I wouldn't want to be in the shoes of any of Byrne's fellow Seminarians in Rome who are caught badmouthing this vicious little queen. We know what happened to the ones who did the same in Maynooth. The fella is a bully and a Shister.

Ah right. Well that's a convincing explanation - "bigoted anti
Delete-gay female medical worker declares pubic hair to have purpose - scientific community blown away".
It looks as if removing pubic hair *and* being sexually active is not a good combination when it comes to vulnerability to infections:
Deletehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/aug/07/pubic-hair-has-job-stop-shaving
Ah well if it was in the Guardian, rather than, say, the British Medical Journal that is me sold. But listen, if you can rock that look, and it is working out well for you, knock yourself out! I am still mystified why you thought that only gay people didn't understand the need for a healthy body, as this is a scientific breakthrough in understanding the differences between gays and straights, but hey, let's just park it there.
DeleteThis is so shameful - it sickens me. Over the last 5 years i really have been called to God and follow him. I have spoken to the vocations director in my diocese, I was sent to St Lukes in manchester - where I spent a whole three days been grilled on my sexual interests, relatioshsips - I have never experienced any thing like it before and I doubt I ever will again. Before anyone jumps to any concluesions I have not had a crazy sexual past - i am a normal 27 year old bloke. I havent been accepted to seminary yet - feedback said i was sexaully immature - I have had relatsionships - i havent had gay sex nor have i been interested in blokes like that - i masturbate and continue to do so , its a natural thing , of course after the act i feel guiilty but there is little i can do about it. It sickens me that so many seminarians have slipped trough the net - whats going down?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, I am sorry to hear of your experience but anyone could really be forgiven for thinking the hierarchy don't want priests. They particularly don't want as priests, straightforward, honest people with good intentions, like yourself. Given that you're nit gay, have had relationships and are presumably honest about your life, it's a bit difficult to see what can be defined as further sexual maturation in your case.
DeleteMy feeling is that when 'formators' come up with these ridiculous 'problems' with healthy people, it is code for saying they don"t want you.
Really? Sounds very different to my experiences of the psychological assessment, which was largely focussed on whether or not one was sane! And was done in a couple of hours.
Deletewhat do you mean you were 'called by God'? Very grand statement. How do you know? Did you hear a voice? Or is this just an idea that occurred to you about yourself. Please explain.
DeleteAnon.20:04 - I presume (and I may be wrong) that you are the same man who posted last night. While your honesty regarding the psychological assessment is admirable, it is not surprising that you are being told that you are sexually immature. The Catholic Church teaches that masturbation is not a healthy expression of sexuality, and indeed the catechism describes the practice as disordered because it separates sexual pleasure from its procreative and unitive purposes. As a priest you will be expected to be chastely celibate. You may not agree with this, but this is what the Church expects from her priests - sadly, as we have seen, some fall terribly, but you do not even have the intention to live chastely at the moment. You are essentially setting yourself up as your own magisterium, deciding which parts of Church teaching you will accept and which ones you will not.
DeleteThe men who are getting "through the net", whose actions are indeed sickening, should not be your standard. Please, if you feel called to priesthood, do not aspire to be merely "better" than these who are getting through the net - your standard is Christ, and you must aspire to be like Him. If the Lord is calling you to be a priest, He is calling you to live in fidelity and sincerity according to the guidance of the Church. Our Lord, if He is calling you, is calling you to greatness, to holiness - I don't believe that you should be as quick to say "there is little I can do about it". A good step might be to at least desire to be chaste, acknowledging that you may fall, but with the Lord's help you will get up and try again. Finally, to say that something is natural does not mean it is not sinful - we are sinful on account of our fallen nature, and sin often appeals to us but we can feel rotten after it, which makes some despair of the Lord's mercy. It does not mean, however, that we don't still try to avoid it.
If you feel called, pray for the grace to embrace virtuously all that that call demands of you.
What do you think Pat, gorgeous could have a little eye for 'Sugar daddie Buckley' lol.
ReplyDeletePicturing Amy getting sack crack and back done. Could probably coat with cream and the cat could lick it off!
ReplyDeleteThat is enough. Tiresome and predictable - - -
DeleteThe criminality of the alleged incident in Bray can only be established if the alleged victim decides to go to the Garda, make a complaint and press charges.
ReplyDeleteWhat is surely established, beyond any doubt, provided the evidence is trustworthy and uncontaminated, is MJB's utter unsuitability for the priesthood, the necessity of his immediate expulsion and the speedy initiation of the canonical process to dismiss him from the clerical state.
Is there any possibility though, Pat, that these photographs, stories and web links have been "doctored", fabricated or photo-shopped?
That would be my only concern. Is there any chance that MJB is being set up or victimised? It seems unlikely but obviously, in that case, the scenario is entirely different.
MJB is not the manipulated but the manipulator.
DeleteThere is nothing deficient in the information / evidence available.
In that case, Pat, surely DM has to remove him pronto? Any failure to do so raises grave issues about Archbishop Martin's judgement.
DeleteMy good God - surely His Holiness must act when the hierarchy arrives tomorrow - he needs to read the riot act an remove the lot of them
ReplyDeleteThe Holy Father won't be told and won't have a clue what's going on as his representative in The Park possibly turns a blind eye to such matters. He just wants a quiet life and unblemished record until a more interesting posting comes along.
Delete21.22 you have much to learn
ReplyDeleteThere must have been a third party present to take a photo that shows a face and bits, couldn't possibly be a selfie
ReplyDeleteYou are protesting too much. How do you know who was present. You are MJB

Reading recent blogs I had a sense of déjà vu. They brought to mind earlier blogs about a young clergyman in the early stages of his priestly ministry who suffered verbal abuse, mental distress, denigration and humiliation at the hands of older more experienced men. Athlone Andy
ReplyDeleteA young man or woman seeking an older partner must have issues. What is in it for a gay man in his twenties seeking a man aged 50 to 90? Nothing in common, except a bizarre psychological daddy fix by the younger, or lust by the older. When I was in my 20s there was no way I fancied people decades older. Grindr etc are not relationship or dating sites. Pure no strings attached. What normal attractive gay man in his 20s, who could have anyone he wanted, go for someone decades older?
ReplyDelete
