You are so hyperbolic and melodramatic. I am not defending his acts as a 14 year old. Very wrong! Sin is evil in all its forms. But is he a lifelong child molester? Growing up, I knew some kids that played doctor. Was it wrong? Yes! His sisters said he touched them. They did not say other, more invasive things. How could any reasonable person not give Josh the benefit of the doubt given his confession, forgiveness by the sisters, and his responsible life that he is now living? Could I be wrong? Of course! But until that day, I will stand with his sisters and their view of events...

Because of how devastating the crime of sexually molesting children is. When you are convicted, you become labeled with Sex Offender —— FOR LIFE. Even the Christians.

It would be foolish for you to go on the registry, search out the sex offenders in your neighborhood, realize that the old man who makes cookies for your son is a RSO, and for you to give him the loving benefit of the doubt and continue to allow your son to watch Paw Patrol with him in his apartment.

Even if he was super sorry for his previous crimes. Even if he was forgiven by a past victim.

And we do NOT know if he is left alone with his daughter(s) and how he behaves with them.
