ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- The winner of the $500,000 lottery drawing came forward Saturday to collect his prize, and the man who will pocket a half-million dollars from a raffle designed to benefit a sex abuse victims charity is a three-time sex offender.
Alec Ahsoak of Anchorage was convicted of sexual abuse of a minor twice in 1993 and once in 2000, according to the Alaska Department of Public Safety Sex Offender/Child Kidnapper Central Registry.
The lottery, which had its drawing Friday night, was conducted by Lucky Times Pull Tabs. State law says all games of chance must benefit charity, and the organization Standing Together Against Rape, or STAR, was the designated beneficiary.
Ahsoak, who will turn 54 later this month, collected his winnings Saturday at Lucky Times in the form of a ceremonial check presentation.
He says he plans to use the money to buy a home and to improve his life, and late Saturday afternoon said he will donate $100,000 to STAR.
Attempts to reach STAR for comment on Saturday were not successful.
When Channel 2 News first met up with Ahsoak, he couldn't have been more excited. But as the day unfolded, Ahsoak's past came to light in an ironic intersection with the mission of the event.
Ahsoak says he's had a hard-luck life, and the money will help him turn that around. He grew up in foster homes and the Jesse Lee Home for Children in Seward.
In the past he said he has donated money to a children's home in South Dakota, but that could not immediately be verified.
Lucky Times' owners said they started the lottery with the best of intentions and really just wanted to help out a cause they believe in.
They hope just as many residents will want to participate in the charity lotteries to come.
After taxes Ahsoak took home about $350,000.

I'm all for chemical castration where they give you drugs to kill your libido.If its your 3rd time messing with kids you kind of forfeit your rights procreate anyway.

I'm all for castration when it comes to those types of sickos.

I actually feel really bad for pedo's. They are the hardest class of sex offender's to treat. You can physically castrate them, but that is not going to stop their thoughts and desires. A lot of pedo's wish not to be released because they know they will offend again.

Is there an overwhelming desire to commit acts of pedophilia or can they control it if they want to?I'm not sure I feel bad for them.

They CANNOT control it. The wants and desires. Many of them do not want to feel those feelings. That's what makes them so hard to treat.

I get that they can't control their desires.Can they control their acts or is the desire so overwhelming they can't control what they do?

It's convoluted, but in short yes: it's a form of OCD. The obsession becomes so anxiety producing that the only way to reduce the anxiety is to act on the compulsion. So, in a sense, they COULD control it, if they had the motivation, but in their anxious and delusional state, they are not thinking of the victim. They are thinking of themselves. It's a very difficult world for them. Most of them wish they were dead or catatonic so that they didn't ffel those compulsions anymore.

That has to be tough living with feelings like that

It sucks for them but I think ultimately they know its really wrong and and could seek help with medication which from what I've read can help them.I feel sorry they have to deal with that in the first place but once they act on it my sympathy ends.

Medication actually has a very poor result with this population.

What we need is a new way of dealing with this population. Jailing them as punishment doesn't work. The compulsions continue when the get out. They need to be institutionalized for life.

I read that the medication totally fucks them up by making them tired and kind of in a haze which most don't like but it does help keep them from committing the acts again.Maybe its not full proof but you can't lock someone up for life under our current laws.
This would be a perfect example of a prison on an island full of sex offenders and no children.
