Danny Friddle Makes Home Movies
March 15, 2008 by impqueen
Kapolei, Hawaii – Danny Friddle, 30, likes to make home movies a lot, but he isn’t very good at keeping them hidden. On Monday morning, a woman and her nephew were waiting for the bus in nearby Kalihi when the young nephew found a plastic bag that had been left on the bus stop bench. When the looked in the bag she found a security company ID card issued to Danny Friddle and a mini DV videotape. On the video, Friddle was clearly visible performing sexual acts on a baby girl who appeared to be six months old. That’s right, six MONTHS old.
The woman turned the tape over to police, who had already taken a police report from Friddle, who claimed that his computer and the video camera had been stolen. Officers who examined the video found time stamps that indicate the baby was sexually assaulted more than once, with one segment dated June 25, 2006 and another segment dated in early 2007. There was also a segment of Friddle having sex with an adult female on the video. The child victim is reported to be Friddle’s daughter, who is now almost two years old.  He and his wife divorced not long after the baby girl’s birth, but Friddle apparently had some visitation with the infant.  Friddle has two sons by another marriage, but was judged to be a risk of harm to those children in civil court proceedings and the boys live with their mother in North Carolina.
Friddle’s girlfriend Lisa spoke with the press shortly after his arrest on Wednesday, saying that she has been dating Friddle for the past year and a half and that Friddle is a “hard-working, good guy who has the best of intentions …. He’s a really sweet guy, but there’s one part of him that needs help.”  Needless to say, that quote set us off in the forums.  Lisa has also posted in our forum thread on this case. At her request, I will not link directly to her MyspaceMySpace
or Friddle’s Myspace (they’re set to private anyway), but here’s the forum thread in which she started out telling us how mean and judgemental we are for calling her boyfriend a bastard, among other things.    After talking with Lisa, I can honestly say that she is a decent, good person who is facing the unthinkable and really had no idea. Danny Friddle didn’t just rape his daughter, he scarred his ex-wife and his girlfriend for a very long time.  Â
FridayFriday reviews
night, Danny Friddle was charged with eight counts of first-degree sexual assault, three counts of third-degree sexual assault and two counts of promoting child abuse with a female child under two years old named as the victim. He is currently being held on a $100,000 bond at the main police cellblock in Honolulu. His arraignment is Monday, so I’ll update as I get more information.
Thanks, JakobsMommy and thanks, Lisa!

The woman who turned over the video told police that she saw Friddle use his hands to touch the baby’s uncovered genitalia and move the baby’s hand away while smiling to the camera, Honolulu police Detective Fred Denault wrote in the affidavit.
After viewing the video, Denault reported witnessing Friddle rape an unidentified girl, who was less than 6 months old at the time, in a video time-stamped June 25, 2006. The clip was about five minutes long.
In a second clip, dated Jan. 28, 2007, Friddle molests for nine minutes an unidentified girl who is about 1 year old, Denault reported.

I just got done reading all the comments in the thread and while I say “wow” to the girlfriends stupidity, she isn’t the first idiot on this website to stand by her man. I was molested at age 7 by my uncle and when I was 14 my mom decided he had changed and had him over for dinner to forgive and forget. I didn’t go to dinner or even home that night. Even at fourteen I was very unforgiving. I guess that makes me a bad christian. Oh well. I always kinda suspected.
1:52 pm on March 15th, 2008
I can not believe that his girlfriend could possibly defend his actions. What kind of deep seeded issues does this girl have that she can accept that fact that he raped his infant daughter???? It is impossible to find any good in a person that is capable of committing this type of crime.
1:57 pm on March 15th, 2008
She should be another recipient of the “Put Down the Penis” Award. How stupid can you be see him rape your daughter on video and still say that he’s a good guy.
2:09 pm on March 15th, 2008
“He’s a really sweet guy, but there’s one part of him that needs help.â€
Nothing that a bullet in the head wouldn’t take care of. bah…
2:24 pm on March 15th, 2008
I really dont think that some of these disgusting bastards do this because they are turned on by small children. I think that they do it to get back at the mother in some way. Either, *you won’t take care of me so I will get it somewhere else*, or *you left me so I am going to hurt the one thing that will hurt you the most*.
This guy is sick and he is not going to get any better anytime soon. I am just glad that he was caught now, not in 14 years when the baby is grown and reports that her dad had been molesting her *as long as she can remember.*
3:08 pm on March 15th, 2008
I can’t the gf is defending him. I always believe women like that have really low self-esteem issues.
Oh and he should be put in the general population and let the other prisoners take care of him. We all know what they love to do with pedos .
3:35 pm on March 15th, 2008
I read the forum thread with bemusement and horror, the girlfriend must be utterly deluded and/or desperate. Over here in Blighty we would say she is ‘as thick as mince’ ie a complete f*ckwit. The silly bitch needs to wake up to the reality of the situation.
3:41 pm on March 15th, 2008
She probably thinks that he is the only guy she will ever get. With that low self esteem, she will not put down the penis, and will play the martyr by standing by her man. bah….
9:51 pm on March 15th, 2008
No, Nell, it does not make you a bad Christian. My mom tried to guilt me with that same kind of shit when she found out her father had molested me for twelve years. She told me that I should forgive him. I tried really hard, and was finally able to forgive the bastard. Not for his sake, though, but for mine. I had gotten to the point that I hated everything and everyone, and didn’t trust a soul. If I had kept on that road, I would have either been put in a mental institution, or been found dead somewhere.
Most Christians seem to have the ‘forgiveness’ thing kind of warped. Nowhere in the bible does it say that you should forgive someone who has done something so vile to you, and then offer them the opportunity to do it again. Forgive? Yes. Forget? Only if you’re a fucking halfwit.
Like I said, my mom tried to get me to sweep it all under the rug, for lack of a better term. And if it hadn’t been for me having a baby two years after the abuse became known, she might very well have succeeded. I had a baby girl. I took my child to my mother’s father’s house (I disowned him – he is not my ‘gramps’ or anything else to me) exactly once while he was present. She was about a year old. I told my mother and her father both that he could look at her from across the room, but he had better not make any move to physically touch her in any way. Being one, she had no understanding of my rules, and the first thing she did was to walk toward him. When she was about two feet from him, I had what I can only describe as a panic attack. I had never had one before, and I have never had one since. I couldn’t breathe, I felt as if my entire body was on fire, and my head hurt. Before she covered the last two feet, I ran and grabbed her, took her out of the house, and put her in her carseat in order to leave.
It was then that I realized the difference between forgiveness and complete unadulterated stupidity. My mom trotted out her ‘forgive him’ speech right there in the yard, and the response I gave her shut her right the fuck up. I said that I had forgiven him already, but that had nothing to do with the fact that I couldn’t trust the old goat as far as I could pick him up and toss his sorry ass. God said “Forgive others”. He did NOT say, “Forgive others, and give them the opportunity to hurt someone else.” As a matter of fact, there are several places in the Bible where God specifically said that certain things should be stopped. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed because of, among other things, fornication. We are not to allow others to continue in their evil, all in the name of forgiveness. That should be common sense, more than anything else.

Hi there….new here and first post! He needs to be castrated and his honey needs a labotomy (sp?)! Anyone who defends this bastard isn’t firing on all cylinders!
12:19 am on March 16th, 2008
Mom of 4, welcome! Make yourself at home. And bring your own wet wipes if you’re planning to sit on Morbid’s couch.
3:01 am on March 16th, 2008
Sure, Danny ‘the fiddler’ Friddle has ‘one’ problem – he is sucking in air that someone else could be breathing. Another fine argument for retrograde abortion (of Danny, that is). Vile, dirty man. Time for some gutt’n…
12:13 pm on March 16th, 2008
LOL Thank you for the heads up and the welcome impqueen! Fresh pack of wet wipes? Check! Which way to the couch?
10:17 pm on March 16th, 2008
This is some sick shit! This man needs to rot in hell. His girlfriend must be on drugs. Hello its on videotape! This man needs to be raped by as many other grown men as possible.
10:58 pm on March 16th, 2008
I have to say that we heard from Lisa (the girlfriend) in the forums today and she’s definitely no longer defending this guy. She’s hurting a lot, but she was brave enough to come back and tell us that yeah, she knows what Danny Friddle deserves. She’s seeking counseling to help her deal, and for that she should be commended. It’s hard to come back to a place like this and say “you’re right”. So I’m cool with her now.
11:07 pm on March 16th, 2008
Thanks for posting that. I am thrilled to hear she is no longer defending him and that she is getting herself some help! I agree it must not have been easy to post here and say “you’re right”. Good for her!
11:38 pm on March 16th, 2008
I bet the guy who stole this tape and left it at a bus stop knew he was a sick fuck and wanted him turned in. Wow what a p.o.s. this one is. I hope he rots in hell!
11:56 pm on March 16th, 2008
What a sick bastard. Ewwwww Probably licked his fingers afterwards. Another piece of shit who needs to rot away in a cell, never to see daylight again. Dungeons goddammit, that’s what we need. Rat infested, dank, dark and musty dungeons for these fucks!
4:33 am on March 17th, 2008
Please – my day job is bad enough…
4:54 am on March 17th, 2008
ah…lol i guess i like self punishment.
I was searching to see what he was “officially” being charged with, when I came across this page. lol
well..actually..yes I do have low self-esteem. you hit that on the head. But no, he wasn’t the first guy and he won’t be the last.
and yea…he deserves whatever he gets…and you know….
i’ve been talking to him…cuz he gets to call people…well at least until this afternoon, he’s going to his arraignment tomorrow..but…
he realizes…he’s lost EVERYTHING. that he’s gonna lose everything. and…you know….i don’t know what is going through his head. but yea…i think he is remorseful…at least I hope he would be…that is what I am willing it to be.
no…i do not intend to wait around 15 years + for this guy.
and i can’t block out this reality….
but…if I may..just speak from my heart…for a second here..and don’t judge me fully on this…
when i reflect back on our relationship…on just his and my relationship…it was the best I ever had…he never hit me, he never yelled at me, he never called me names….he worshiped the ground i walked on…at least that’s how it seemed. (and yes…sadly that is my criteria for a good bf) lol and so taking that into consideration…you can see…at least partially from a girl who has been beaten down before, why…i felt the slightest bit affronted by the comments that were left here initially. (btw..i never meant to “defend” him, because there is nothing to defend, what he did was wrong…what i wanted…was for people to see…the side that i wanted to remember of him…at the time…but…I realize…that maybe that side that I knew of him…was a “disguise” as some people have pointed out to me)
but reality is reality and we can’t change it. cuz trust me, if I could I would, not necessarily for HIS sake, mind you, but for everyone else’s
5:25 am on March 17th, 2008
Welcome & good morn Lisa, you seem well educated , I am so sorry for what you are going thru. This must be tough to face your family and friends. I hope to God you have nothing to feel ashamed about besides being naive, someone mentioned you may be in some videos. It is going to be easier on you if you can break ties with him and common friends you have together, that includes phone calls, letters and inmate visits…
has Danny been using any harsh drugs – this type of infratuation just boggles my mind – He seems good looking enough and has what seems to be a good woman and he had one before or he wouldn’t have a daughter… I just don’t get it.
7:29 am on March 17th, 2008
Lisa,
I know you and I have talked about this more than you ever wanted to in the last 24 hours. I just want you to know publicly that you have my full support. I think you get a pass on this one because you spoke from your heart that first day, and from shock. You came in angry because you were hurting so badly you couldn’t see straight, and I know that hurt is not going to go away soon. You’re still in the first week of a thing that will take years to heal.
I want you to know I’m here for you, and you can and will find support here. We will bash the hell out of a woman who continues to defend her man in the face of evidence – but you have made a conscious decision NOT to do that. You’ve come back here and spoken in the forums, you’ve spent time talking with me, and you have a lot to deal with.
You earned my respect and support the second you said that the real victim here is Danny’s little girl. Your love and concern for her and your concern for Danny’s ex-wife is apparent to me, and as reality is setting in, you are handling it very well under the circumstances. If you feel like talking after the arraignment and stuff, let us know how it goes. I’ll be updating as i get info, but mainly i just wanna know you and Danny’s ex-wife and the baby are okay today. You’ll be in my thoughts.
8:56 am on March 17th, 2008
Lisa, I know you say he is remorseful – and I’m sure he is – for the situation he has landed himself in (prison) I suspect, not the crime he has committed. I think you are right when you say he wore a ‘disguise’ – well don’t let that disguise fool you anymore. He is a predator, and will never change (even if he tells you he will) – just remember this is only what he’s been caught doing, god knows what else he has done in the past, because if he can do that to a baby he can do anything.
9:09 am on March 17th, 2008
I am not sure what part sickens me more the fact this his girlfriend the mother of the VICTIM here is standing by him or that he wouldn’t have even been caught & no one would know what this sick fuck is capable of if he wasn’t so stupid as to leave a videotape & his ID together on a bench.
I have been married for 9 years. I love my husband. But if I ever found out or even suspected he molested any of our children I would be gone WITH my kids so fast & I wouldn’t look back.
I don’t care if this man seemed so perfect, caring, whatever he raped an infant! That alone should be enough to erase whatever good you thought you saw in him.
9:17 am on March 17th, 2008
His girlfriend is not the mother of the victim. The mother of the victim is his ex-wife.
But either way, look how absolutely NORMAL this sick fuck looks. Definitely makes you think twice about who you associate with.
9:44 am on March 17th, 2008
Yeah I notice someone above made a comment about him being good looking and ‘not getting it’. Paedophiles come in all shapes and sizes, good lookers and ugly f*ckers. Don’t judge a book by the cover!
As I said earlier, I’d be surprised if this is his first offence.
10:48 am on March 17th, 2008
They grow ‘em big in Hawaii, too. Heh heh heh.
12:07 pm on March 17th, 2008
Oh thanks Kathy! So he has 2 sons with his first wife & a daughter with his 2nd?
You’re right it’s scary that even the sickest among us can look normal.
12:28 pm on March 17th, 2008
Angel: You are so much a better person and stronger than I could have been in your situation! I don’t think I could EVER look a person in the face, who I was supposed to be able to look up and depend upon as a child. Someone I was supposed to be able to trust….not to hurt me in the most unspeakable of ways…I would have a really hard time not wanting to tear body parts off of him! Makes me wonder…..did your mom have to endure his evil ways as a child as well? If so, good for you for stopping the cycle of abuse with your daughter!
**BIG HUGS FOR YOU!!
1:27 pm on March 17th, 2008
Nanette,
I never said I didn’t want to rip his genitals off (among other body parts). I think ALL sickos of this ilk should have to endure the same pain they inflicted on their victims. All I did was quit hating, and learned to go on with my life. As I said, you CAN forgive without forgetting. After that scene in his house, I put him out of my mind and life.
Some people claim that hate is the opposite of love; it isn’t,…apathy is. If you hate someone, you still care enough about them to let them affect your life and emotions. When you couldn’t care less if they lived or died, and are able to live your life as if they are less than nothing, and not a shred of emotion rears it’s head when you hear their name – that is the opposite of love. That is true freedom. It is the most liberating feeling in the world. I was only able to leave the cage I had been locked in when I took back the keys from the animal who trapped me there, and let go of the hatred that was still binding me to him.
My mother swears that the only thing she remembers him doing to her as a child was when he tried to french kiss her when she was a teenager. That in itself would have been enough to let me know he was a perv, but that happened back when nobody talked about such things, and it was never made public. I know, however, that he raped my mom’s sister, his own daughter, when she was only sixteen. So, I find it hard to believe that “all” he did was kiss my mother inappropriately. As I’ve said before, my memories of the abuse are sketchy, and I believe my brain only allowed me to remember what was necessary to ensure that I got my sister out of a dangerous situation. I don’t WANT to know anything else, the memories I do have, already haunt me bad enough. My mother could very well have also blocked all memories of any abuse she endured, which is one of the primary reasons that I don’t blame her for what he did. If she had remembered, and still put me in harm’s way, I don’t know if I could have forgiven that.
And as for stopping the cycle of abuse, I believe that a parent’s primary obligation to their children is to protect and love them. I grew up feeling unloved, even hated, in my own home; and I swore that any child of mine would never have to feel that way. I couldn’t NOT protect her. She was, and is, my heart. And each successive child I had only increased the love I had to give. I would die, or kill if necessary, to save any of my children. That’s what a mother’s job IS.
3:15 pm on March 17th, 2008
Good for you Nell! This is UNFORGIVEABLE. Your mom, no disrespect, is insane. A mother doesn’t do that. Not only would I have not forgiven him, I would have invited him to dinner, cut off his fucking penis, and served it to him on a platter.
4:07 pm on March 17th, 2008
Thanks for posting Lisa, I’m glad to hear that you are moving on. I know from personal experience how fooled one can be by a man. It is very hard to realize that the person you know and the person people tell you he as are one and the same. You and i both learned the hard way. You will find someone who can give you what you want and NOT have a split personality. Keep looking, and keep your head up. One good thing for both of us though, once you are fooled once, it’s very hard for anyone to fool us again!
9:42 am on March 18th, 2008
He made his court appearance yesterday. The ex and current girlfriend were there. He was surrounded by guards for his own safety.

Too fuckin’ bad…..
11:40 pm on March 18th, 2008
As a Lisa not related to this case (Sorry if there’s any confusion with my name; I’ve been here a while but don’t really comment frequently), I do feel for the other Lisa as I agree that she probably had no idea what was going on and was taken along for a ride by this sick fuck. I was bothered by her initital comments in the forum and couldn’t understand defending anybody that would abuse a child (maybe it was initially the shock of the situation and denial that caused her to defend him at first) but I’m glad that she’s realized the extent of the harm that he’s caused (and realized that it is his child not him who is the victim), stopped defending him and gotten some professional help for herself. I suppose it would be an understatement to say that this can’t be easy for her, nor can it be easy for the mother of the victim. This baby girl will be in my prayers, as my heart breaks for her and for any child that has to suffer any kind of abuse-whether it be physical, sexual, or otherwise. Stories like this get to me, even though I don’t have kids.
3:51 pm on March 19th, 2008
Thank you angel. And thank you solange822001. Whenever I get the courage to post here I am always a little afraid. The couple of times I did Angel has my back. The follow up comments to me and the other things she has posted have made me very warm and fuzzy inside. I don’t know how old she is or anything about her but to have her validate me made me feel like my mom gave me a big ole hug. After all the bashing in all the different threads lately it made me realize that I wanted to let everyone know that the people on this site, while interested in shaming the bad guys, will welcome the victims or friends or anyone else that has been hurt or wants to talk or anything! I appreciate all of you.
5:40 pm on March 19th, 2008
Nell,
Don’t be afraid to post and speak your mind. People here will not always agree – that’s part of who we are. And we do speak our various minds on all manner of subjects. You are encouraged to have your opinion and to speak it. That doesn’t mean everyone will always agree with you, but that’s okay. Everyone doesn’t have to. We all usually get along at the end of the day. Mainly because we stack the bones of the people we don’t like over by the fireplace for later, but that’s a whole other thing.
Generally we are a raucous bunch, but we do have a heart for those who have been hurt – or we wouldn’t be here. I would venture to say that a majority of our posters have experienced abuse in some form, or they wouldn’t be here. You are welcome here. We may not coddle you, but we’re not too likely to feed you to the wolves either, unless you’re a nutjob, and you seem pretty sane to me.
10:21 am on May 28th, 2008
OMG, someone needs to hit her over the head with a damn brick!!! How stupid can you be!!!
10:38 am on May 28th, 2008
Thanks for the kind words Nell, don’t be afraid to speak up, many of us on here disagree on some topics, but at the end of the day we all respect each other’s opinions. There are a lot of smart, caring people on this blog, which is one of the reasons why I keep coming back!
2:22 am on May 29th, 2008
LOL
I didn’t need to be hit over the head thank you very much. Just some good counseling, psychiatry, and anti-depressants. 
in response to bugonthewall. I have moved on, found myself a nice man, and all is well.
thanks for the thought though. Next time, don’t be so quick to judge me please. Thank you.
9:43 am on June 13th, 2008
Good luck Rippi! I had something similar happen when I joined DD…
http://www.dreamindemon.com/2008/05/20/destiny-renee-carswell-broke-her-baby
I hope that you find your way throught this. I luckily wasnt dating the guy when it happened, so my experience dulls in comparison, but I can identify with what you are going through. I am happy that you acknowledge that he is a miscreant and I hope you get all the help you need. We’re here for you if you need us.
