That's a shame that a moment of bad decision can derail, damage and destroy a life. I worked with him at a residential facility in Worthington,Ohio in the late 90's to early 2000. He always seemed like a good guy invested in helping the children in our care. His future wife also worked there as a clinician. It's just very sad to see him in the paper and news for perpetrating this crime against a child. He's lost everything that mattered to him and betrayed not only his wife's trust but that of his victim, however willing she was. He was in a position of authority and power. I know he wishes he could take it all back.

I would say he got fooled by his blind sightness. He was so involve(or enticed) that he really couldn't make a sound judgement. It really was a form of insanity. I feel sorry for him because of his ignorance. EVERYTHING that looks good isn't GOOD. People should apply what their parents teach them.

A presentation that has been viewed as a strong role model for all. Passion out of conrol has caused lives to be out of control. I pray that the judge will view his life as worthy of saving. Community service would at this time be quite meaningful as I have witnessed the remorsefulness of the individual. The consistency of his life is evident that he has something to give. Perhaps spiritual counseling will allow him to recognize that the kind of weakness he allowed can be couquered. The desire never leaves, it is just controlled.

The young man has a powerful presentation that has been viewed as an example of a strong role model for all. Unfortunately this kind of passion out of conrol has at this time caused the lives of others to be negatively influenced and out of control. I pray that the powers in control will view his life as worthy of saving; and spare him. Whatever, or whomever caused him to be reported to authorities I also pray that God would be merciful towards. I pray that it was not a vengeful situation. I believe community service would at this time be quite meaningful. The skills of the individual should be harnessed. Jail seldom does anything to help individuals. The penal system aids in the destrucion of most who enter. I have witnessed the remorsefulness of the individual. The consistency of his life is evident that he has something positive to give. I strongly believe that the appropriate spiritual counseling will educate and allow him to recognize and understand that the kind of weakness he allowed can be couquered. The desire never leaves, it is just controlled.

Hey, he was just going after an obvious human need. And am sure she did not mind the experience or she would not have participated. When are people going to come out of the dark ages and start enjoying life as it is to be intended.
