Perhaps the most telling glimpse into Bolander's personal demons came in March 1989, when psychologist Wister MacLaren pronounced his patient to be suffering from exclusive same-sex pedophilia. In April 1989, Bolander was sentenced to six years in prison. It came to a boil in August 1988, when an 11-year-old boy told police that for more than six months, Bolander had performed oral sex on him and had photographed the boy dressing and undressing, according to court documents.īolander pleaded guilty to violating California penal code Section 288(a), which prohibits 'lewd or lascivious' acts involving a child younger than 14 years old. At Grossmont Community College, he took classes and worked as a part-time programmer and network administrator.ĭuring this time, Bolander's private predilection for young boys seemed to be simmering just beneath the surface of his public life. After getting the boot from the Navy in early 1986, Bolander gravitated to the computer industry, spending three years at International Management Services in San Diego as a $9.50-an-hour network administrator.
