For the American football cornerback, see
Pentecostal revivalist preacher and pederast.[1]
Echols infiltrated
NAMBLA and wrote of his experience in I Know My First Name is Steven.[2]
Echols was known for researching the Internet for
pedophile chat rooms and forums. In 1998, Echols created Better a Millstone (BAM), a child-safety advocacy group, that identified and reported pedophiles to authorities. BAM's website also listed child porn sites, including web addresses, in an effort to publicly pressure sites' hosts.[3][4]
Echols died in 2003 at age 58 in the Monterey County Jail in California from a pulmonary embolism.[5][6] He was in jail for failing to appear in court after being charged with indecent exposure for exposing himself to police, among other misdemeanors.[7][8]
