NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Last week, we told you about Gordon Grigg, after a grand jury indicted him on identity theft and sex crime charges.
Police say he billed himself as a life coach to find victims.
We also told you about the Ponzi scheme federal prosecutors say Grigg carried out in 2009; for that, he faced federal prison time.
This week, we spoke with one of the victims of that scheme, Steve Wieland.
"When I found out, it's one of those things that will eat you alive," Steve said, who now lives in Florida.
Hear more details from Wieland about Grigg in the player above.
On top of identity theft, the new indictment from this month shows a laundry list of sex crime charges, saying Grigg tried to get an undercover agent to sexually penetrate two children, including one less than 8 years old, and also tried to get the undercover agent to engage in sexual activity with a dog.
Now, Steve has this message for Grigg before standing trial again:
"I want him to know I want him to die a slow very, very painful death, very painful death, and know when he finally dies, there's a creature named Beelzebub that's gonna be right there," Steve said.
Watch our first story on Gordon Grigg below for more context:
This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
