Before I Head Off to Bed,

it's time to ask who is the now-infamous "Sexfairy"?

I spoke to the woman known as “Sexfairy” last night. Linda Figueiredo turned in former KGO Radio host Bernie Ward for child porn. (She doesn’t live at the address in Oakdale noted on the police report any longer – good thing, because the unredacted report’s been posted on-line elsewhere. Given the national interest in the story, who knows what sort of attention she would have received.) Figueiredo is a thirty-three-year-old mother of three who told police in December 2004 that she sometimes logs onto the internet to discuss sex, using e-mail and live chats. Last night, Figueiredo declined my request for an interview, saying she’s been directed not to talk until the case wraps up.
