And Now, a Word from Corey Kleser, a.k.a. Antichrist666s

And Now, A Word from Antichrist666s

The last time Corey Kleser logged on to his MySpace blog was November 2nd, just days after the 15-year old posed nude for and murdered Ronald O. Adams. What with one thing or another, Kleser now finds himself in secure juvenile detention with his internet privileges severely circumscribed.


This has not stopped his homies from offering their condolences to “Shroom” for the difficult fix he is in these days.


Born wit a Hatchet” tells Kleser she is sure he will get out of jail, “or die trying.” The “17-year old bisexual atheist single mommy” posts a photograph of herself and Kleser on her site.


"Dom" writes, “I hope they don’t give u maximum for that.” "Malice"writes, “We're going to do everything we can to save you from Life!! I Love and Miss you Much!!! Im puttin everything on the line for you.”


"Video Fantasy Girl" writes, “i miss you so much. i heard what happend, i actully didnt realize it was you at first and did something on it for school then i read ur note that you wrote me when we were together and i was like … woah.”


Woah, indeed! Shroom, or Antichrist666s, as he sometimes called himself, gives us a little autobiography on his site, although it is unlikely to be updated with his most relevant news anytime soon.


“I am the almighty SHROOM,” he writes. “Im a person/guy that likes to chill and smoke nuggs. I eat mushrooms and trip balls. I kick it with my homies.Im straight. I like to sleep. I like chilling in coffee shops. i like to go on long cruises. i like to race cars. i like music its a part of my life. So i guess im jest the adverage person.”


Who I'd like to meet: “Some crazy ass people who smoke weed kick it and are verry mellow. Someone who likes to party gos to partys and who is confortable with who they are.”


Although Shroom is one of those “adverage” persons who is tolerant of people who are “confortable” with themselves, his benign attitude did not extend to Ronald O. Adams.


THAT’S WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR


Kleser claims to be 19 on his website, and although he lists himself as “straight,” “Psychokiller” remembered otherwise, as recounted in this September message to Shroom: u remember me?? “i met u once at the node and with nikki and them its weird bcuz i sent u friend request like a year ago bcuz ur pro said bi and i thought u were hawt lol...and then we met..how ya been man?”


Translation: Psychokiller recollected that Shroom had once listed himself as “bisexual” on his profile, and then he met him at the Node and probably realized otherwise. Who’s the Psychokiller now?


Also back in September, which must seem like an eternity to Kleser, “Hatchet Girl” dropped him the following note: “IF U WERE KILLED TOMORROW, I WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN DA MOTHA FUKER THAT KILLED U!”


Back in July, “Watch Out I Bite” was a bit more prescient: “you need to … strighten up think about your kid your girl and get your fucking life together so you can actually be a good father unlike your own.”


Please don’t tell us this kid is a father!

DAD IN GAY MURDER CASE HAS HISTORY

IN COURT, ANOTHER SON ACCUSED HIM OF SEXUAL ABUSE

exclusive to www.milwaukeeworld.com

By Michael Horne

Charles Edward Kleser IV, the father of accused 15-year old murderer Corey Kleser, has a criminal history of his own.
Pa Kleser first came to our attention in news accounts of the murder of Ronald O. Adams, a 57-year old who had hired Corey to pose nude for him. When the older man asked the youth for sex, Corey subdued him with a hammer and finished him off with a knife. He then called his dad for a ride home October 29th.
On the way, Charles Kleser noticed blood on his son's clothing, and asked if he had killed anybody that night.
When the son confessed he had, Charles Kleser washed Corey's clothes and helped him conceal the crime -- which is not itself a crime for a parent in Wisconsin, as an amazed citizenry has learned.
Pretty much what you might expect from a man who has testified in court that he was "not father of the year by any stretch of the imagination."
Those quotes were made in a 2002 Milwaukee County court case when Kleser denied sexually abusing another son, Charles E. Kleser V. He did plead guilty to stealing that son's identity, though.
The felony charges indicated that Kleser had moved out of his home owing the utility company $800. He stole his son's identity, which was much the same as his except for Roman numeral and date of birth. The old man's ruse was uncovered when his estranged son received a bad credit report when he tried to purchase a house. Police questioned the father, who confessed to using his son's Social Security number to open the account. He could have asked his own mother, who supported him, for the utility deposit, but did not do so for reasons of "pride," he said. He lived with her at the time, but had been estranged from his son for many years.
In a presentence report, younger Charles Kleser said he was "very upset with his father." He added when he was a child, his father "physically and sexually abused him." When he was 12, Charles V stated that his father "gave him to a family friend." He then went to foster care.
The father had had a number of convictions, three of which involved jail time.
Charles V also submitted a letter to Judge Jean DiMotto, explaining his "difficult childhood," dealing with his father's drug and alcohol abuse.
Kleser admitted he "had a pretty serious drug and alcohol problem" when Charles V and his brother Corey were growing up.
The son's letter and his quotes in the presentence report raised the ire of Judge Jean DiMotto, who heard the case. She let fly with a flurry of comments from the bench, asking, "what kind of father would do this to his son," and calling Kesler's crime "abominable" and "lower than low." His pride may have prevented him from asking for a handout from mom, but had not prevented him "from once again taking advantage of [his] son," the judge said.
Just before handing down a four-year prison sentence, she added: "I find this crime so egregious. It's the crime of a low life to betray his own flesh and blood. And there is credence in what your son says because otherwise it does not make sense that a 48- or 49-year old father would do this to his own son.
"The interests of this community include the interests of your son who you have violated by this crime. All of us have a right to be protected from this, but surely a son has the -- a right to be protected from this criminality by his own father."
After the sentencing, Kleser made a postconviction motion, claiming the circuit court "erroneously exercised sentencing discretion by relying on improper factors and affording too much weight to his son's representations."
The three judge panel affirmed the judgment and order of the Circuit Court.

So, even before Corey Kleser's trial begins, things are looking very interesting. The 15-year old did tell police he had had a difficult childhood. God knows his brother did. But if dad had no problem donating one 12-year old son to a family "friend," you wonder if he had anything to do with, say, pimping out his 15-year old son to 57-year old men?

[I should add, parenthetically, that I have been unable to uncover any information thus far about Ronald O. Adams. If anybody knew him, you know where to find me. -- Michael Horne]
