Is anyone surprised that this guy is a former teacher?
not at all
Not even a little bit. I also wouldn't be surprised to learn he was a volunteer little league coach or youth group leader. I don't mean in the slightest to demean the 99% of folks engaged in those activities for good and honorable reasons, but pedophiles go where the kids are, especially if they can do so in a pseudo-parental position of authority and influence.
