The photo is of a man named Brian Peppers when he was 34 and he was recorded in Ohio's Electronic Sex Offender Registration and Notification framework because of a conviction for Gross Sexual Imposition in 1998, in Lucas County, Ohio. His appearance may have been expected to either Apert Syndrome or Crouzon Syndrome. He was wheelchair-bound when the photo was taken, which clarifies the presence of short stature. He was condemned to 30 days in prison and 5-year probation for "unwilling sexual contact with one who isn't one's life partner".

Several other accounts were also given about how Brian Peppers came into existence. One of such accounts had it that he was a product of incest as his mother was impregnated by her own brother. Brian Peppers was born deformed. He had Apert Syndrome, a certain genetic disorder characterized by a premature fusion of skull bones which affects the shape of the head and face as well as prevents the skull from growing normally. Peppers’ deformities reportedly led to his parents abandoning him at a young woman’s doorstep. The woman had bad eyesight and thus couldn’t say for sure how the little baby looked like but she took proper care of him by her own self.

Peppers was eventually enrolled in a school but his mental issues made comprehension quite difficult. His classmates were not helpful also. While some hated and bullied him, others were scared of him. As he continued to grow, he became more unintelligent and weaker. Worst of it all was that he never had friends, ladies ran away from him and to console himself, he picked up bad habits like masturbating in the public and molesting barnyard animals just to put his sexual desires to rest.
