Anyone remember the little perverted Dentist from Mattoon named Bill Podesta? Even though he wasn't a medical doctor, as a dentist he still was allowed by laws to write prescriptions and a big percentage of those prescriptions were for young women for diet pills (actually amphetamines). When Podesta died the local editor of the Mattoon paper wrote a glowing essay about how great Podesta was and what all he did for the community. Of course he never mention Podesta's sex parties where young women were provided for the towns elite. I've heard this editor was a regular at these parties and enjoyed frolicking with young men as well as women. Even the local police turned the other way when it came to Podesta's illegal actions. One foster father threatened to beat this pervert to a pulp after he caught Podesta running his hand up a little foster care girls skirt. I worked in a pharmacy as a college student and Podesta used to come in several times a week and buy several dozen condoms. We marked the calendar on his purchases and determined he would have to have sex at least 20 times a day to use all those condoms. And keep in mind the old fart was about 60 at the time. Those that think prostitution died out in Mattoon in the 1940's are sadly mistaken. It was kept alive for years by the efforts of one of Mattoon's leading citizens aided and abetted by the local elites as well as the editor of the local newspaper.

Does anyone else on here remember that pervert?

I'm very curious about whether or not Dr. Podesta had surgical facilities at his practice even though he wasn't a licensed dental surgeon.
