ANCHORAGE — A 30-year-old Colorado man was charged Monday with traveling to Alaska to have sex with a child he met on the Internet, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

Brock Jon Purviance is accused of coming to Alaska in August 2004 to have sex with a 15-year-old girl he had met in an online chat room, federal prosecutors said.

Purviance was arrested on a federal warrant in Arvada, Colo., in May.

According to a press release from the U.S. attorney’s office, U.S. District Judge Boyd Boland in Colorado said “substantial evidence” exists that Purviance has contacted girls under 18 through “computers, cell phones and in person” and had sex with them.

Purviance was arraigned Monday in Anchorage at the U.S. District Court.

His trial is scheduled for Sept. 6.

God bless and remain vigilant.

  1. I knew Brock
    October 31, 2006 at 11:54 PM | #1

    I considered Brock a good friend and I am blown away by his guilty plea. I had no idea he had a double life. Osark – How many other victims were there? I find myself up at night googling him to find out more info. I feel betrayed, obviously not to the extent of his victim(s). I just knew they would find him innocent and he would be back here, I still cant wrap my head around this, I spoke to him almost everyday. The scary part is, by the time he gets out (assuming 12 years) my kids will be the same age as his victim. I have obviously cut ties to him. At 1st I felt bad to abandon him when he needed me most but know I relize I never knew him, the guy I thought was my friend never really existed.

    If you can Osark, let tell me how many other victims have come forward.

    I’m sorry, I am not able to say how many victims we have proven, but I can tell you… more than I had thought. It takes a lot of courage to face the devil… not everyone has that kind of courage.
    After going through this nightmare for over 16 months… I now know why more victims don’t come forward… the stress, pain; humiliation and embarrassment are horrendous to live through, even if you have a good prosecuting team.
    Thank you for coming forward… perhaps if you can think back over the years you could come up with something that could help more of his victims to come forward without fear. After all he has been covering this up for 12 years… he couldn’t have gotten away with it, if he didn’t know what he was doing… but even someone like him leaves a trail…
    Ask around; see what other people have to say…he has left evidence… You have children… wouldn’t you want someone to take the time to save them if they could?
    If you’re a victim out there, please contact me… I will help you contact the authorities to help you.
    God bless and remain vigilant.

    Interesting… you obvously don’t have all the facts. Because there were three other victims that we were proven, and even Brock admitted to having sex with them when they were 14 years old. The court records at the second hearing showed that Brocks mother even knew about the first two, she even told Brock that she did not approve, but did that stop him? I can answer that…obvously not. You must not know much about courts… the others were listed as victims, but since they were from other states, Alaska could not prosecute on their behalf… their own states will have to do that. Prosecution didn’t need to call the fourth victim when Brock admitted what he did to the other victims. You think you know what happened in the court room? Were you there? Did you sit there for all three of the hearings? The victim’s parents did. They sat there listening first hand to what that slimmy bastard did. You should be ashamed of yourself for standing up for a sexual predator. You think you know this family? You think you know what the issues are? Do you know the prayers the family prayed daily, nightly… the tears they shed, the pain they suffered, the agony of watching their child at one point on the suicide watch? You don’t know anything… Quit taking your venom out on a family that has already been victimized enough.

    From what I was told both Judge Roberts and Sedgewick who tried this case were disgusted with Brock and his behavor. In my opinion, and I know the family feels the same way, Brock didn’t get nearly what he deserved. He infected the victim with HPV… a LIFE sentence. Brock will get out at some point, but for the victim, she has to worry for the rest of her life, if she will develop cervical cancer. Why because this bastard met a child on the internet and seduced her mind, soul, manipulated her feelings, thoughts….Meanwhile Brock will sit in a Federal Penn, getting free room and board,medical, technology and if he so chooses, he can make money while he is in prison. Meanwhile his school that he co-ownes continues to prosper…Since HPV doesn’t do anything to the male population, he doesnt have to worry about side affects of the disease he infected the victim with.

    You need to check your soul, and ask yourself why you defend a sexual predator and think he deserves more than the victims did. Because you need serious therapy yourself. God will judge Brock a second time, and you as well, so perhaps you should ask yourself if someone who vouches for a predator the way you have, well… maybe you could be just like him.

    No wonder more victims don’t come forward… how does a child stand a chance with venomous people like you. It’s much easier to suffer in silence. The victim’s mom even told me, had she known how difficult this would be, she might have used a different means for bringing about justice, but she believed God would bring justice and it would come in the justice system, and rightly so. Brock was arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced… there must have been something in all of that evidence.

    Actually there were no other “victims”; court testimony failed to disclose anything of the kind (check the court transcripts if you don’t believe me) and there was no evidence that even one witness (whom the prosecution declined to call) was telling the truth. I suspect Brock plead guilty because he felt the odds were stacked against him no matter what he did, because frankly, he did break the law. However, there is no evidence other than his own testimony as to what happened and that is what landed him in jail. I’m sorry that so many people are mislead by (edited) mother and don’t read the court records, transcripts, or are aware of the evidence. Brock did screw up, but he is by no means living a double life. (edited) is simply blinded to the realities of her family’s issues and found Brock a convenient scapegoat.

    OC – I am so proud of all of you for sticking with this and allowing the law to take its course. I’m afraid that we are about to lose our fight here in SA.

    Jacqui,
    I am so sorry that your case is not going as well, but don’t give up the faith. God can do what man either won’t or can’t. My prayers are still coming your way. These animals will pay for what they do to children, either both in this life and the next… But most DEFINATELY in the next.
    Keep your kids in counseling… my daughter is starting new therapy with a Psych. who has diagnosed her with Post traumatic stress disorder, and depression, but the Psych. believes she can help my child to move past what happened. I pray every day that she heals and moves forward…
    God bless my friend and Stay Vigilant

    Actually, Anne – You talk in the third person but just admit it was your daughter that dated Brock for nearly two years before they even met; there is no shame in admitting who you are. I’ll tell you who I am; someone who knows both your daughter and Brock and who followed the case closely. You don’t know me and while I personally don’t know you, I do know the facts as seen from more sides than you would ever open your eyes to. Why dont you let folks know some more history and the relationship you and your family have had years before Brock came along?

    Yes, Brock did admit to having sex with a 14 year old at the trial – when he was 17. Hello? 14/17 – not a “sexual predator” there or would you disagree? The prosecution didn’t need to call the (edited) because her testimony had been discredited by various lies she told to the FBI. Had the prosecution called this “witness” its case would have been weakened. Ironic, don’t you think? You knew your daughter was looking to meet up with other guys for sex but condoned it because they were closer to her age (within 5 years.) You and your husband had been monitoring her computer useage for quite a while prior to Brock and allowed all of this to occur. If you cared so much, why didn’t you do anything then? As well, care to explain why you went to several different investigative agencies that would not take the case? Had nothing to do with jurisdiction; do not tell more lies. All of this activity in Alaska coincided with a major family meltdown and you had to find a scapegoat. How about the evidence that came out in trial that showed (edited) for privacy seeking out many guys online to have cyber sex with and trying to arrange for meetings? And where is the evidence that anyone of Brock’s family knew this was going on? It isnt there! You should know better than anyone that children don’t tell their parents everything. So what makes you think Brock told his parents about (edited) for privacy when she didn’t tell you about him? I will be posting transcripts from this trial shortly to set things straight but you need to look in your own backyard for answers. As well, stop spewing venomous lies; Brock no longer co-owns any business and hadnt for a long time prior to his arrest. Do you seek to destroy the lives of those who he ever dealt with simply because you have more hate in your soul than you can deal with? Why attack his family, his associates, and those who supported both he and your daughter through all of this when he is paying for his mistake? Your daughter is also paying for your mistakes; I think it would be interesting to see her words here. And we will when I post the transcripts.

    You claim to be a good Christian woman and tout God in your postings. I doubt you have read the Bible or attended a day of church in your life. For if you did, then you were blind and deaf as to Christ’s teachings. I, will admit to my failings, for that while I was taught to turn the other cheek, I simply cannot handle seeing you vilify someone with lies and hate just to make yourself feel better. God will judge us all, He doesn’t need you to do that.

    I absolutely agree that true sexual predators need to be punished and they do deserve a hefty penalty – for their crimes. But get your facts straight on this case. Go fight for what you believe but do it honestly and with integrity. anything else is a disservice to real victims and their families.

    (You knew your daughter was looking to meet up with other guys for sex but condoned it because they were closer to her age (within 5 years.) You and your husband had been monitoring her computer usage for quite a while prior to Brock and allowed all of this to occur. If you cared so much, why didn’t you do anything then?) – Okay… the victim is MY daughter…. I chose to write in a way that would protect my child… but she is healing now and gave me permission to say she was the victim…
    What are you freaking nutts that you would even consider a parent would know something like that and encourage this, (you have invented this to make yourself feel better for supporting Brock or it is something Brock told you)? And for case in point…. like ALL parents should, we monitored all of our children on the computer. When we saw she was on the computer too much, we took the computer away… as in we dismantled it for months and we slowly allowed her access back on the computer just like we did with any of our other kids who abused a privilege on the computer. What we didn’t know, was that Brock had taught her how to go around some of the firewalls we had set up. AND Brock told ME personally that she was a virgin until he got to her. HE told ME his sole intent was to come up here a week after her 15th birthday to have sex with her. HE told ME personally that he KNEW how old she was from the beginning, but SHE did not know exactly how old he was until later. (you know so much… why don’t you know about what HE said to ME? trust me it was four hours I wish I could forget).
    As for the other victims. You are also not correct… He was 18 and one was 14 and when he was 20 one was 16… AND they were 13/14 when he started manipulating them…just to clarify… and then there were the two from Colorado who were only 14 and he was 26… then there was the victim he was sentenced for… she was 15 (one week after her 15th birthday) and he was 28… the second time she was one week after her 16th birthday and he was 29.

    Heather- or is it Jared, (my daughter said she doesn’t know a Heather, but she does know a Jared who graduated high school w/Brock)
    You’re obviously a friend of Brock’s.
    Interesting… you state you knew about this the “whole time”….in some states you knowing about a crime and doing nothing… would make you an accessory to the crime. So why don’t you come forward and give us your real name. I would like to give it to the FBI agent in charge so he also has “all the facts”…its sad as a friend you didn’t encourage Brock to get professional help or tell him what he was doing was nothing short of sexual abuse of a minor. You could have saved many families the heart ache that he has caused… BOTH judges said Brock should have had professional help a long time ago.
    Since you live in California, it is interesting you say you “know” my child… it would seem you know only what Brock has told you…
    YOUR comments are the ones that do a disservice to victims. You justify a thirty year old man going after 13-17 year old children and then lay the blame on the child. In the Psychology field there is a diagnosis for a individual who exhibits this kind of behavior.
    As for my family… excuse me… what exactly does our family have to it do with a man, who flies thousands of miles to have sex with a child…? (Just to clarify…. our family situation did not make Brock choose to come and molest my child; he made that choice on his own) AND I think your comments about my child are totally disrespectful, spiteful, and unforgiveable, Brock manipulated her for over a year before he flew here and infected her with HPV. Something SHE will have to live with the rest of her life, but Brock will be out of prison in just a few short years.
    As for my Christianity… well my prayers were answered… I believe God spoke loudly through the evidence he showed over and over again… Brock is in Prison, and young girls will be safe from him, at least for the next few years…and as you said… you don’t know me and have never met me, it might be better for you to not “ass”ume to know what’s in my heart or soul. God and I will have to work that out on our own.

    As the family of a victim, we will not be intimidated by someone like you, who refuse to acknowledge sexual predators for what they are, You do not seem to really want justice for innocent victims, because you are having a bit of a problem understanding what a victim is or the psychology of a sexual predator manipulating a child’s mind, or you wouldn’t have posted the vicious comments that you did. (Go back and read the steps to an internet predator…it is talking about people like Brock, and it explains why any child would be involved w/ him) People who care about victims and children in general, do not write the things that you did. You only proved you are a Brock Advocate…
    AND by the way, you do realize you are posting all of this on a blog that is a NEWS Release…. I had nothing to do with the NEWS releases. The FBI and police have the authority to do that, but I would not have stopped the releases either… for the record.
    Again… Name, Heather, Jared…. whatever YOU want to call yourself…I have no issues with wanting to have confidentiality (as we all have the right)…. You should be ashamed of yourself. Spew your venom someplace else… people who understand the true meaning of victims… don’t want to hear your nasty slants and innuendos.
    For all other victims out there; become survivors and turn in the predator who is harming you…
    God bless and Remain Vigilant

    The Disgusting details. The forced and manipulated masturbation lessons, everything he did to (edit) shows that he is a predator and is only verified with what he did to the victim of this trial to say he’s not a predator is outright VILE! He Hunted (edit) as he hunted ozarks daughter (to anne’s Daughter (edit) would like to say she’s sorry she knew all about you and brocks plans to meet you but never knew your age he would always say shes older so she didn’t catch on (edit) would also like to know if Brock told you about her thanks) the victims have seen first hand his predation who are you to judge Name-heather you think you knew him? think again.

  11. December 11, 2007 at 10:25 PM | #11

    (Edit),
    I am so sorry to hear there is still more victims, but honestly I am not surprised. You and (Edit) however need to be careful, I got a warning notice that Brock has been on the internet again. Ironic isn’t it. An internet sexual predator is in prison for sexual abuse using the internet and he still has the ability to use the internet.
    Please email me at my maisp4help@hotmail.com and I will see what I can do to help you. At least point you and (Edit) in the direction of help.
    I have to admit I did recognize (Edit) name, but we were not allowed to give out any names other than those that are in the court records.
    Since (Edit) didn’t come forward during the trial we were not able to use her as a witness. This is no recrimination. There are MANY victims that we identified that were not willing to come forward for many reasons. However, there were many that did.
    One thing that you can do is contact the FBI in the state that (Edit) was in when Brock was sexually abusing her. The reason for the FBI is because they give a harsher sentence than the state does.
    Please know you and (Edit) are in my prayers. I am so sorry to hear of her pain. The FBI also has a victims abuse network that was a great help to us.
    Under NO circumstances contact Brock or any of his friends. This is very dangerous.
    God bless and Remain Vigilant.
