» Jerome Corsi is an American author who some say
gained national notoriety in 2003 when he was convicted
for participating in a child pornography ring. His
reputation suffered further damage in 2004 when he
published a fictional account of Senator John Kerry's
activities in, and immediately following, the Vietnam War.
Childhood
Corsi was born on 31 August, 1946, in east Cleveland,
Ohio. His father was a Union leader in the Local 86 Leather
Workers' Union; his mother was a homemaker and
fountain syringe enthusiast.
Jerome was an only child with the occasional imaginary
friend, and occupied himself with gardening, tumbling, and
drama. As a teenager, he was frequently seen hanging
out after hours at the Glee Club and the YMCA.
Education
In 1973 Corsi earned his Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Arts,
and left home to pursue a literary career. He took a job
teaching English at a central Cleveland junior high school,
and penned his first novella, The Savage Lad. The book
was a commercial flop, and despite offering discounts to
his extended family Jerome only managed to sell three
copies.
Trial and Error
Undaunted, Corsi moved to Dayton, where he picked up a
job at a parochial school teaching gym class and coaching
the boys' tumbling team. While there, he met and married
Montgomery County school board treasurer Farnetta
Brown.

Montgomery County school board treasurer Farnetta
Brown.
It was during this time that Corsi wrote his Joe Bondo
series. The four book set centered around a horse trainer
who worked for the government as an anti-communist spy
in the hills of central Kentucky. The four book set sold
about 500 copies, mostly to Dayton area teachers.
In March, 1987 Corsi earned his PhD in Animal Husbandry.
He and Farnetta shortly thereafter divorced, and Corsi soon
married horse insemination specialist Bertha Vulvabeiff. The
two moved to Woodbridge, Virginia, where Corsi worked for
the Defense Logistics Agency as policy ombudsman.
In 1993 he struck gold; the author found his niche in
political smear jobs. His 1992 book about Bill Clinton, Bad,
Bad, Naughty Hillbilly found an eager audience among talk
radio's conservative listeners. After Corsi made his first of
many appearances on Rush Limbaugh's radio program,
Hillbilly's sales topped the 100,000 mark.
Family Roles
In 1997 Corsi and Bertha moved to New Jersey, where
Corsi took a job with the New York Post. In 1998 Corsi
published his second Clinton smear, The 101 Abortions of
Billy C. The money from this book, and from Hillbilly,
allowed Corsi to retire from his position at the Post.
After returning to Ohio, Bertha had the couple's first child,
and within a year, she bore their second.
Kiddie Porn
In early 2003, authorities indicate, Corsi was indicted for
the distribution of child pornography. Records show the
scandal mushroomed when, after being found guilty for
peddling kiddie porn, Corsi was handed a lenient sentence
that included no prison time. Conspiracy theories filled Ohio
newspaper for weeks.
Within a year, Dr. Corsi and long time friend John O'Neill
published Unfit for Command, a fictional retelling of
Massachusetts Senator, and then-Democratic presidential
candidate John Kerry’s role in the Vietnam War. The
political fallout from the 2004 book overshadowed Corsi's
involvement in child pornography, it has been suggested.
In 2008 Corsi published an anti-Barack Obama work,
Obama Nation. Sources say the book is by far Corsi's
funniest work of fiction to date.

Like his literature,
Corsi's cell phone calls
are often pure fiction.
