He has a stellar record...won the Award of Merit. So what...many child molesters are pillars of their communities. That is the way they gain the trust of parents and children!!!!

I don't know if he is guilty or not, but I have come across people making false accusations in the past. Many, many years ago when my daughter was about 13 years old, a young girl (8 or 9 years old) who was our neighbor accused my daughter and her friend of asking to see her private parts. I found it hard to believe because my daughter and her friend were already interested in boys and I could not understand why they would want to see the private parts of someone of the same sex. I found that the young girl's mother had just recently had a talk with her about being careful if someone wants to do something like that to her. She figured that that was a good way to get my daughter in trouble because they did not get along. The point is that we should not automatically believe that everybody who is accused of something is guilty.

I heard on the news tonight they are setting bond for him. Yes, let's let him out so he can cruise some porn sites.

as a Partner with an Abuseive Manipulative exhusband having controll of my girlfriends teenage daughter; I have Lived with the Fear of his coaching her into accusations; or her Projecting his Crimes on Me Thru His Brainwashing/Hypnosis; He used it against my dissabled girlfriend...
(he is one Sick Puppy/Mommas Boy But No Witnesses but my GF; makes it all to hard to Prove)...
So While I have my Issues With Corrupt Law enfocement (my GF's Father was a Corrupt Vice Cop With KKK/Nazi afiliations ans abused her Horribly)
I believe that ALL people deserve to be tried and convicted by Judge or Jury; Not By News article and People with Issues of thier own; that may Biase thier rush to judge and condemn..if this happened then there will be Phisical Evidence; as a young Child can not be raped and Sodomised repeatedly; without some kind of damage. if there is; That is for the Jury to consider and Make thier decission on Guilt or reasonable Doubt...
So While I

So While I Hope this Girl gets whatever care she needs and finds Justice in the Court system; I find the C2 Members need to try and convict based on Sketchy news and Thier own Personal Issues to be a Sick twisted Perverted injustice that We as a Country Should Act against as it Leads to Vigilantism and Punishing the innocent Without Due Process;
Would You want to be Tried and Convicted in the Press and By Internet "Activists" if You were falsly accused;
These are the types of behaviour that causes Change of venue and Hung Juries; as well as Conviction of Innocent Persons...

More bad press for the state...this is bad. I feel sorry for the victims and the families of the victim and the suspect...this is so painful and sad.
