That is the most poorly written article I have tried to sort out in a while. It seems he was not convicted of sexually abusing the child? They list that with the charges he was not convicted of, so it seems he was not convicted on charges related to the girl.
The thing is even with the badly written article, he is a dirt bag. He sexually abuses children and women. He likely did most of what he was accused of if not all. It also makes me angry that his wife seemed to be trying to explain it away by saying he has PTSD and a serious alcohol problem. Nothing excuses his behavior and that poor little girl will have to live with this.
People who do this are sick, just sick. If he has other issues that may be; but those issues are not the cause of his sickness.
The principal who molested me had, has, a wife who stood by him through his protracted court battle. She heard all the evidence, she saw that they found a LIFE SIZED TODDLER CHILD DOLL in his closet with a laptop filled with kiddie porn, but she BELIEVES HIM or is a Mrs. Sandusky and approves, I guess.....
