Washington Post will praise his courage because he killed himself rather than face justice.

[VietVet876]

Good for him. His guilty plea is accepted and he should be lauded for saving the taxpayers the room and board expenses.

[hattend]

Good Riddance.

Save the taxpayers some cash.

[napscoordinator]

Fake Christianity can do that to a person.

[Responsibility2nd]

While not as common as Catholic priests and young boys - there is very much a problem with too many Christian pastors and clergy with young girls.

[Carriage Hill]

The prison’s GP would have killed him within a few weeks/months, anyway.

Washington Post will praise his courage because he killed himself rather than face justice.

He would have been more courageous had he taken some innocent bystander children with him.

[caww]

Rough looking character..

As all innocent people wrongly accused do...

This is why I can’t deal with religion anymore.

[Tijeras_Slim]

If he was seeking to escape judgement, he miscalculated badly.

[xp38]

He took the Lord’s name in vain.

Parents should be weary of letting anyone other than the parents spend unsupervised time with their kids regardless the profession.

This abuse likely continued because the parents of the girl didn't have good commutation with their child.

Even if the abuser told her not to tell and threatened her if the parents had sat down with her after each unsupervised encounter they likely would have picked up on something not being right.

You can't just 'talk to you kids' once. You have to 'TALK TO YOUR KIDS' about their DAILY experiences.

I'm not blaming the victim or the parents but parents need to be more aware because abusers know all the tricks.

So you do not believe in the presumption of innocence? What would you do if someone, out of the clear blue, accused you?

Have you ever heard of false recovered memory syndrome?

The very first thing the police should do is ask the woman if she is in therapy. Then they should get the records and do a forensic examination to see if this idea arose out of hypnosis before they arrest the man or woman accused.

Another thing they should do is investigate the accuser to see if there is some hidden agenda.

We, as a society, need to commit to fair and honest trials so that accused people do not kill themselves.

For now, it is an unjust and wicked process. The woman should not be believed unless is is clear that she is probably telling the truth. The same goes for men.

Our prisons are filled with innocent men and women falsely accused.

Beware, this could happen to you and you are entirely innocent.
