There is no indication that these thoughts were ever communicated to anyone," Meyer said. "The publication of these private thoughts serves no purpose except to embarrass the judge. Thinking is not a crime in this country."
The writings were initially stolen from Kline's computer by a hacker, then passed to anti-pedophile groups before being turned over to police. A copy of the document also was e-mailed to a Register reporter. But the intimate writings - interspersed with references to court cases, analyses of literary works and memoirs of daily life - appear to describe Kline's emotional struggle over his fascination with the bodies of young Orange County boys, many of whom are mentioned by name. The document also describes the author's hesitancy to act on those feelings. In portions of the diary, the author describes frequent stints working as an umpire or just hanging around south Orange County Little League baseball games. The author of the diary describes himself as an Orange County judge and Little League umpire who owns a Porsche sports car, all traits that also describe Kline. Some of the accounts in the diary have been independently corroborated. http://ocregister.com/news/kline00217cci4.shtml
