The site also includes tips for children on how to avoid pedophiles and a link to a map of Snohomish County, where McClellan lives.
Tebo has a forum for emailed replies and he received a response from a man claiming to be McClellan. The IP address for the email is Arlington, Wash., which is McClellan's home town.

The man claiming to be McClellan wrote:
"If I'm such a threat to children, then how come I was able to attend a hundred or so family events in the Seattle area over the last 2 years, and was only kicked out of one (and not because I was doing anything illegal, but because they simply felt that I didn't fit in as an unaccompanied man).
"Like I've been saying in the interviews, this pedophile hysteria is way overblown: the vast majority of us with an attraction to children are no more out of control than the typical heterosexual or homosexual attracted to adults. In fact, I'm thinking about starting my own day care (which I can legally do, since I'm not a convicted sex offender) to further illustrate my point, and bringing the website back in the near future (probably without the more provocative pics)."
Snohomish County Sheriff's spokeswoman Rebecca Hover said McClellan has been monitored for years but he hasn't broken any laws.
"We know about the web site and we've kept in contact with him" she said. "But we don't have an active investigation because he hasn't done anything that would cause us to arrest him."
He is unemployed and lives with his parents in an area near Seattle. Authorities said he would travel up and down the Washington coast visiting public events and taking pictures where children were in high attendance.
