Nicholas Pinto Shoots Children

Imp’s Note: This article involves one of our members and her family. Thanks to BluExtacy for her help, photos and input.
PA and CT – Nicholas Pinto, 27, fancies himself quite the photographer. This past summer, he traveled from his home in Connecticut to visit friends in Pennsylvania. He took along a small duffel of clothes, and a bigger duffel of camera equipment. What Nicholas Pinto did over the next two weeks landed him in jail in Pennsylvania.  And at least one of his charges relates to the child of one of our members.
In late June, Nicholas Pinto left Stratford, Connecticut to visit our member BluExtacy and her family in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. He arrived at the home with more camera equipment than he had clothes, which didn’t seem that unusual to his hosts.  Blue has known Nick for nearly fifteen years, since she was a kid in Connecticut. She tells us that she had no reason to believe that Pinto was a risk for her or her foster son – or any of the children who came with their parents to visit during the time he was there.
Blue and her husband were just three months away from adopting their foster child when Pinto, also known as Issac Becks, arrived at the home. Within a couple of weeks, all that changed.
Neighbors noticed that Pinto seemed always to be outside with his camera equipment, shooting pictures. Thing is, he didn’t seem to be shooting the landscape, although when pressed he said he was taking test shots of the summer sky. Which was a little odd, since there weren’t any children in the summer sky, and kids seemed to be the focal point of most of Pinto’s photographs.
One night during his visit, Blue and her husband had gone to bed. Nick Pinto went into the room where Blue’s foster son slept, and told him they were going to “make a YoutubeYouTube
video”. The boy, old enough to understand Youtube (but still a preteen child), willingly went with the family friend to the basement. Once they got there, Pinto tied the boy in various types of bondage, telling the child that the video was just for fun. The boy wasn’t physically harmed and went back to bed after the “shoot”, seemingly unaware that anything was seriously amiss. As a result, Blue says she didn’t know there had been anything weird going on.
Later, Blue’s foster son would tell her that he thought Pinto was “making a movie about children in prison”.
On at least two other occasions, Pinto removed small houseguests – ages four and five – from the beds where they were sleeping. Pinto was so quiet – so careful – that both children were taken from beds where their mothers slept alongside them. Blue says that the parents hadn’t even been drinking, so they were asleep normally, not passed out or otherwise zonked. Yet Pinto managed to slip the preschoolers away; one on one night, one on another.  Twice he crept into guest rooms; twice he took small children to the basement to play the bondage game. Twice he took pictures – and at least once, he molested a child while he was at it.  The photographs depict the children in sexual positions, bound, sometimes gagged.
Nobody in the house was aware. No child said anything. Until the beginning of July, when Pinto had been at the home for about two weeks.
A group of children were swimming in a neighborhood pool when Nick Pinto began taking pictures of them. One of the boys went and told his uncle that there was a guy taking pictures, and it was making him feel weird. Police were called, and arrived to find Pinto in Blue’s yard with his camera equipment set up.
When an investigator walked up to Nicholas Pinto, he caught Pinto looking at images stored on his camera. Right there in the yard, Pinto was checking out a shot of a young boy who was bound and gagged. A piece of electrical tape was covering the child’s eyes. Pinto was arrested and initially charged with two counts of child pornography (one for manufacture, the other for possession) while an investigation was done.
After securing warrants for the digital cameras, a video camera and bondage equipment, Blue’s house was turned upside down. Child and Youth Services removed her foster son from her care. And a state police forensics unit got data from the cameras that showed numerous pornographic images and movies of children. The victims ranged from age 4 to 12.
After a month-long investigation, Nicholas Pinto was charged with 87 counts of manufacture and possession of child pornography.
Nicholas Pinto is currently languishing in the Lackawanna County Prison on $25,000 bond. The case was booted from the Pennsylvania Magisterial District Court in AugustAugust reviews
and is now in the hands of the FBI and the US Attorney General’s Office. From the sound of things, I don’t think Nick Pinto or his photographer alter-ego Issac Becks will be getting out anytime soon.
From here, the rest is BluExtacy’s story to tell. Our thoughts are with her – and her son.

God, I am so sorry for you! Try as you might there are so many horrible people in the world that thrive on taking the innocence of a child. I will be praying for you and your family, friends and of course the children.
8:56 am on October 15th, 2008
I am so sorry to read this. My thoughts and prayers are with you. How devistating to be betrayed by some one you thought you could trust.
How sickening that he would take such pics with young children.
Are you still going to be able to adopt your foster son, or has that been destroyed also?
Again, I’m sorry this happened to you, your family and friends.
9:05 am on October 15th, 2008
Blue, I am so sorry you and your family were betrayed in this way. My thoughts are with you all.
9:37 am on October 15th, 2008
God Blue, I hope that you’ll be able to get things straightened out and be able to keep your boy. Listen, my own parents accidently befriended TWO child molesters while we were little. One my sister told on because he was touching her, the other got busted by another friends parents. These two seemed very normal to ALL the kids parents involved. Many times they befriend parents and seem so much like the ever congenial uncle type that a LOT of people are fooled.
The best to you…all the worst to that sick prick…
My prayers are with you.
9:40 am on October 15th, 2008
Blu you must feel terribly betrayed and outraged. I am so sorry that your son was pulled from his home because of this fuctard. I am sure you want to strangle this bastard. I guess you can never know how well you know someone.
My prayers and thoughts are with your family.
10:16 am on October 15th, 2008
Blue: I am so sorry this happened to you. Some people just have no brains at all. I hope you are still able to adopt your son as you did NOTHING wrong. I hope the courts can see that.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
10:18 am on October 15th, 2008
Blu, I am sure you are beating yourself up for not knowing something was not right. But remember, this is a secret pedos keep at all costs. There likely were not any signs because they work hard to make sure there are none. I hope that your son will be returned to you quickly and that your family and friends’ families heal from this trauma. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
10:50 am on October 15th, 2008
I wish we could all kill him for you. Subhumans like make the world a colder, smaller place. Who will you feel able to trust after this? If a friend of 15 years makes a trip to visit you because he plans to use your children in porn — what’s left? I’m just sick over this and can only say this guy must have been well practiced if he could steal children from the same bed their parent was sleeping in. You were in the hands of a master, Blu, don’t feel badly that you didn’t catch on. I hope that you can keep your foster son.
10:54 am on October 15th, 2008
Holy crap! I am so sorry that you all went through this….
10:55 am on October 15th, 2008
I am so sorry and I hope you are all able to overcome this. Please don’t let yourself start to think that this is your fault because then he will continue to victimize your family. Stay strong. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your son and all others involved.
11:27 am on October 15th, 2008
that’s about it, youre not to blame. Wish we could do more than just hate his guts and wish him the worse
11:44 am on October 15th, 2008
Blu, I am so sorry for all your anguish over this fuucking asswipe..How did you keep your self from strangling him? What did your husband say? I certainly hope he gets what is coming to him, and that all the Bubba’s make sure he’s given a proper wel-cum…
11:45 am on October 15th, 2008
Has anybody ever noticed that child molesters and serial killers all seem to pick the same style of metal framed,large glasses?
I noticed this years ago.
“yes, I’d like those glasses right there.. the ” Dahmer’s”
Maybe I am superstitious or just paranoid but generally I stay away from people who have those glasses because of my observation.
I am sorry this happened to your family Blue.
If this guy took pics of my kids I would have literally castrated him myself.
He’s where he should be now and cannot victimize anymore children.
Hopefully all the inmates know what he’s in for and are giving him one hell of a time.

Case and point: look through a few pages

You have to dig deep and go through many pages but you will notice if they wear glasses it’s always the same damn kind for some reason!
WTF?
12:03 pm on October 15th, 2008
Awwwww hell!
Blue, I hope your family can mend after this horrible situation. After fifteen years, you’d think that you could trust a friend… but, sadly, no. I pray that the local Children’s Services see that you, and your family, were victimized by a wily predator. Further, I hope that the child is returned to you, post haste. After all, he needs the people that could best help him to get past this as soon as possible.
BTW: I’m still in favor of “Molester Bungie Jumping,” and this waste-of-skin qualifies!
12:35 pm on October 15th, 2008
Blu, what a nightmare. So sorry for your family and especially your foster son. Hope you luck into someone reasonable at DFS and everything works out for you.
1:26 pm on October 15th, 2008
Blu-
I am sooo sorry this happened to your family! I hope the CPS will thoroughly follow the investigation and realize that you had no way of knowing what was happening. We will pray- Only time will help, and of course love and understanding upon your sweet lil chillens! Don’t even think about blaming yourself- There is know way you could have known what this guy was capable of. These people attach themselves to “friends” with children for a reason.
1:30 pm on October 15th, 2008
Best wishes for a decent outcome to all of this for your family, Blu.
Creepy that the guy has duct tape, children and Rainbow Brite listed under his general interests.
3:02 pm on October 15th, 2008
its really not looking like it, his father took this as an opportunity to try and get him back, which wasn’t an option before this. he will be returning to our home for a while at least. . .
i kinda wish you could too.. b/c by the time i found out the cops were at my house, and i was a little to weak in the knees to even comprehend what i was hearing…
how did i? well the cop was standing right next to him.. my other half.. he was livid but ran to the park to find our kid..and talked to him and kept him away from the house b/c he really looked up to nick and didnt need to see that. as far as the “wel-cum” according to a letter he sent me from jail..hehe.. he got his welcome
he is just lucky the cops found out before i did.
thank you everyone for being understanding. my neighbors believed i had something to do with it. i got evicted, everyone hated me and looked down at me. things are finally starting too get better.. and its been three months. of course, i really would like to know how much time he is getting.. but if i’ve learned one thing in all this its patience… b/c i am doing a heck of a lot of waiting…
3:04 pm on October 15th, 2008
and thank you to impqueen for running this.. i know it took you forever… and i really appreciate it..
3:20 pm on October 15th, 2008
he does? *groan* so wrong…
3:22 pm on October 15th, 2008
Jesus Christ, Blu.
I am so sorry… that is so fucking terrible. My thoughts are with you.
3:31 pm on October 15th, 2008
he was in my car when then caught him… im just happy he didn’t drive off with it when he saw the cop car in front of the house.. and i forgot to mention.. when the cop first showed up, my other half was in the house calling a lawyer for nick, we believed it was just profiling, we were really wrong, but if you knew nick… he was such a nice person, you would never believe he was capable of this.. he really was my best friend for the last 14 or more years. we talked every night, and i saw him as much as possible… and he helped the kid thorough a lot too.
the feds and local cops were in my house for 12 hours. of course the news leaves out the part where i almost had to beg them to come get the rest of his things.. when i had called and said i have his stuff for you to pick up.. they told me to throw it out.. which i would have done if i didn’t think they needed it..
3:31 pm on October 15th, 2008
thank you..
3:33 pm on October 15th, 2008
did you also notice his status update? “has prof that this has happened before.. ” that creeped me the hell out when i saw that. i know he wasn’t on the computer at my house.. so he did that before he left.. i wonder if he expected to get caught?
3:35 pm on October 15th, 2008
CYS (thats what it is here) does know we had nothing to do with it. and i think that since i never had a child in my home till two years ago. . i think that is why i didn’t know.. i had never seen him near children before…
3:45 pm on October 15th, 2008
Blue although I don’t know you I just wanted to say I am so sorry for what has happened to you and your family. It’s so sad that in this world we just can’t trust anyone.
3:49 pm on October 15th, 2008
Anyone… your right … *sigh* thank you its all just very surreal..
4:06 pm on October 15th, 2008
thank-you for that its nice knowing i’m not the only one who is oblivious to these things..
4:09 pm on October 15th, 2008
I am so sorry you have had to go through this.
Honestly this type shit now days seems to be able to happen to anyone This is why I refused all these years to get into a relationship until my boys are all grown up. Just too damn scared of the what if’s
My prayers are with you and yours.
4:36 pm on October 15th, 2008
yeah im scared to have friends at this point…
7:34 pm on October 15th, 2008
Blue, don’t blame yourself. Too many people still have this idea that pervs like this look like relatives of the creature from the black lagoon but in reality they look and act normal for the most part. They don’t lurk in bushes and don’t make their activities known. If these pieces of garbage would just say, I’m a pedophile, the world would be a much better place. You didn’t know, a cold comfort I know but you aren’t the first good person to have been decivied by a %^$ like this and you won’t be the last. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.
7:59 pm on October 15th, 2008
omg, that guy’s picture is going to give me nightmares.
blue, i hope you and your family are ok.
8:43 pm on October 15th, 2008
im sorry.. i tried to find the worst ones of him i could find..
8:44 pm on October 15th, 2008
thanks
9:44 pm on October 15th, 2008
Blue, if your Foster son has been with you (or in the system, at least) for two years, his dad may try to get him back but you may have time on your side…. maybe he will able to stay with you after all. I think it’s a real encouraging sign that CYS is willing for him to come back to you. I’ll be sending the good thoughts your way.
Don’t be scared to have friends, honey. We can’t see what’s in another person’s heart….that’s what makes these things so scary…..wish I could fix this one for you…
11:00 pm on October 15th, 2008
you really think so? i was good friends with his dad for a while.. his dad was all for having him stay with me.. but when they too him away.. we all got nervous that he would be lost to a family that non of us knew so his dad who was going to step down, started working really hard to get him back. i thought he was going to step back again, he really can’t take care of him.. but he didn’t but i still have hope, i never loose hope, and so far it seems to be at least working a small bit… thank you for your words of encouragement.. it means a lot.
i thought i knew what was in his heart, he was very special to me.. i was lost when it all happened b/c he is the one i would have called had it not been him that did this.. i consider him a loss to even though he turned my life, and my child’s life upside down. of course now i am in anger mode.. but then.. it was hard loosing him too.. now i hope they just wipe him off this earth..
11:29 pm on October 15th, 2008
He has kids listed as an interest also. And a whole lot of cartoon shit. He is one of those freakos that people missed all of the damn signs. UGH!
BLue, I am so sorry. I admire your restraint. I would have kicked his fucking teeth down his throat.
11:35 pm on October 15th, 2008
You should watch who you let your kids around psycho!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have all the info through dreamin demon. I cant say Im “sorry for you”. Your a freak! Just like the guy you let in your house. You should have been smarter, more aware. I feel for the kids, but then again , theyre smarter than you!!! . So they’lll get through this, with the help of God, OMG a jesus freak! Im sorry, I just have alot of personal emotion with it stuff. God bless the kids, ALL OF THE KIDS.
11:43 pm on October 15th, 2008
Um – Back the fuck up! She has been through enough – so bite you fucking tongue! She has beens friends with this sick fuck for years. She trusted him! How many people get fucking molested / raped by relatives?? Parents even?? What makes you an authority? Enilighten me, PLEASE…
11:54 pm on October 15th, 2008
Yeah, wow. How could she have known? This was a friend of hers for 15 years. Nothing suspicious happened while he was staying with them, and no one alerted anybody. I understand you may have some “personal emotion with it stuff”, but your comments were out of line and completely mis-directed.
12:36 am on October 16th, 2008
This kind of scenario is seriously right up there with my very worst nightmares. If something like this happened to my kids, I really think I would just go crazy.
I am so, so sorry you are going through this, Blu. I wish the best to you and your family…I can’t even imagine how betrayed, sick, and furious you must feel.
Stories like this just scare the living hell out of me. These children were right there sleeping beside their mothers when this creep molested them! WTF!!!!!
I guess it goes to show that you just never know.
( I wish I could keep my kids under lock and key forever…
12:46 am on October 16th, 2008
thank you for reinforcing how bad i already feel about all this. but i really really swear to you i didn’t know.. you are like the neighbors that drove me out of my town. i grew up with him.. i guess i was just blind.
12:48 am on October 16th, 2008
thank you for sticking up for me. thank you very very much.
and thank you morbid..
thats the scary part.. he was home.. under lock and key.. thats what’s the worst of it… *sigh*
12:57 am on October 16th, 2008
LOS LOBOS:… are your NAMBLA dues paid up? You sound like one of those sleazoids. Blame the family for not being more vigilant, blame the victim for “wanting it.” I’m sure this site is on a hit list for those baby-rapists… just come on in… we’ll be happy to deal with the likes of you. The only thing you seem to feel for those precious children is their private parts.
1:19 am on October 16th, 2008
I have not allowed anyone to stay the night in my home since I had children. I do not think it is a good idea for anyone no matter how long you have known someone. You can never be too careful when children are involved. I am paranoid because of my childhood but I do not want my children to ever feel the pain I have.
I’m sorry your family is going through this crap. I hope you can spread the word to other familys to never trust anyone around their kids. Sad but true. Kids need even more protection now that the government is hellbent on “rehabing” pedophiles aka teaching them how to get away with it.
1:30 am on October 16th, 2008
you are so very right.. and they can’t rehab them… i don’t let anyone stay over any more.. and i never will again.. kids or not.. and i am trying to spread it.. believe me…. i wrote to all his myspace contacts… i told a lot of people back home that knew him.. and i gave this site the story… and only this site.. b/c i dont trust much else..
2:07 am on October 16th, 2008
omg that was awsome! you rock!
2:50 am on October 16th, 2008
to add to that.. i was just talking with someone.. that thinks that he will get 20 years in jail tops.. and then just go back out and start doing it all over again.. the scary thing is.. there is nothing anyone can do. when the feds finally decide to get things rolling on this i am going to make sure that i speak up as much as possible. god knows i hope he never gets out. but there is something soo very wrong with the system that these people are let out and left to their own devices… i cant imagine what possesses government to think this is ok.
2:54 am on October 16th, 2008
and if you are such a jesus freak… you should know.. that it is only god who can judge people. you should be ashamed of that.. say you love god and in the other breath smite people. you are a judgmental prick. people like you are the reason religion leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths, you are a sanctimonious fuck tard.
