Defense and prosecuting attorneys say there's a lot more to the story of 50-year-old Derrick Ian Kenrick and his 15-year-old fiancee than court papers tell.

But neither side would talk about it yesterday after Kenrick pleaded guilty to traveling to Pennsylvania from Rome, Ga., to have sexual relations with a minor.

More details probably will emerge at his sentencing in November, when he's likely to get about four years in prison, but for now an FBI affidavit and a brief summary in court are all that's known.

Kenrick befriended a Washington County girl online in May 2002 when she was playing virtual pool on the Internet and asked if anyone else believed in God.

Kenrick, using the name "Wings444," replied, saying he was a 19-year-old from Georgia named Dirk. For two years, the pair talked online and on the phone. "Dirk" later said that he was actually 22, not 19, and eventually proposed marriage and arranged a visit.

He arrived at her house in Chartiers on Aug. 7, 2004, but only the girl's mother was home that day. She was "taken aback" by his "apparent age," according to the affidavit. He wasn't 19, or even 22, but a paunchy 49. He also had a 2-year-old boy with him that he said was his adopted son.

Still, the mother invited him into the house "to be friendly."

She then told him to get a hotel room until her daughter, then 15, returned. The next day, the girl met "Dirk" for the first time. The first thing she said when she saw him was, "Who are you?"

Yet despite the confusion, she and her parents let Kenrick move in for a week after he told them a story about how authorities in Florida needed a "permanent address" for his little boy.

He also gave them $1,600 and bought them furniture, books, a bed and other items.

He later moved into an apartment nearby, but the relationship continued, with Kenrick kissing the girl and fondling her on the family couch.

Eventually she agreed to marry him, but only "in God's time," she said. Michael Novara, Kenrick's federal public defender, said the two were engaged, and the girl's father gave Kenrick permission to marry her after high school.

But when he became "too controlling," the FBI said, the girl's parents broke off the relationship, told him to stay away and blocked his access to her e-mail account.

That's when he threatened them, according to the affidavit.

"I am playing no games," he wrote in an e-mail. "You opened your home to me, an adult, to be alone with a 15-year-old. Open your instant messenger to me, or there will be consequences to pay on your behalf."

In the end, Kenrick wrote a long love letter to the girl and then left town on Sept. 26. He indicated the parents only ended his relationship with her after he stopped buying them gifts. He also promised the girl the two of them would be together again someday.

"But remember, I never did anything you didn't want me to, and you know that," he wrote. "... I'll never stop loving you, and any time you want me, you can find me, and I'll be there for you. Our love will never die."

Federal authorities arrested him in Las Vegas in October, and he's been in jail ever since.
