Brian Peppers
Brian Peppers (born November 1, 1968) is a resident of Whitehouse, Ohio (a suburb of Toledo), who became the subject of an Internet meme that originated in 2005 concerning the circulation of his photograph, obtained from the Ohio Electronic Sex Offenders Registry[1].

The appearance of the photograph led many viewers to suggest that it was faked. Snopes investigated the case and determined it was most likely true. They also found high school yearbook photos of Peppers.[2] The Ohio Attorney General's office told them "This is an accurate photo of this offender."

Snopes suggests that Peppers' unusual appearance may be due to malformation of the cranium caused by a branchial arch condition such as Apert syndrome or Crouzon syndrome

Crimes

Peppers was sentenced to 30 days in jail with 5 years probation thereafter in 1998 for the crime of "Gross Sexual Imposition"[3]. Gross Sexual Imposition is defined as[4] unwilling sexual contact with one who is not one's spouse.

It was said on a YTMND that he was sentenced for allegedly groping a nurse, but he was really just trying to get her attention. Whether this letter is completely true or not is yet to be known, but many people believe it to be true.

Internet meme

The exact Internet forum where the mocking of the image originated is unknown. It is however known that his image was entered on Hot or Not.[5]

The image was later parodied several times on the web site YTMND and is regularly referenced on Fark.

The operators of the Ohio eSORN do not appreciate the publicity their system is getting by being exploited for pictures of Peppers, and they are considering shutting down the service. 'The Actual Truth About Brian Peppers' Brian Peppers in a wheelchair. Brian Peppers in a wheelchair.

Recently there was a YTMND animation[6] which revealed that Brian Peppers was wheelchair-bound and in a nursing home. His case of gross sexual imposition was for groping a nurse, which he received only probation for. The creator of the site showed several documents and addresses to back up his claims.
