In August 2004, Sidney Wayne Clark, 41, of Garfield, AR contacted what he thought was a 13-year-old girl named FancyDancer14. Although Clark set up several meetings with "Fancy", he didn't show.

My FancyDancer14 personna had been retired in early 2004. She was resurrected for a short while at the request of a police department for a different case. When I signed on as Fancy, Clark had left an offline message for me. At this point, I had not entered any chat rooms using the name. Clark had apparently searched the aol profiles for a young girl in the NW Arkansas area.

During the four months, Clark groomed Fancy, making no secret that he was masturbating while chatting with her via instant message. At one point, he had to stop, run to the backyard and "flip the burgers" he was grilling for folks. Finally, Clark treated himself to a web cam and that was the beginning of the end. Those photos can be found in the wankers section.

Clark began to try to cover himself by chatting innocently in the instant messages, denying he had ever masturbated on cam, etc. All the while he was sending filthy messages to Fancy by adding them beside his name on the YIM buddy list. Of course, all of this action was being recorded with screen shots for evidence.

Officers had been aware that Clark had two daughters, one of them a 13-year-old. His activity had begun to escalate and there was concern for the children in the home. Not willing to take chances with the child's safety, detectives went to Clark's place of employment in Rogers, AR, in January of 2005 and arrested him.

On Monday, July 24, 2006, Clark pled guilty to computer child pornography. He will spend 120 days in jail and six years under supervised probation. Clark must also pay $1,650 in fines and fees, register as a sex offender and complete a treatment program at Ozark Guidance.
