Alledgedly it happened after his divorce and before his second marriage.
He was with an underage girl and he paid her. Why this is coming up now when it happened supposedly 8 years ago, must of ticked someone off or stopped paying them or who knows...we don't know and probably will never find out.
Happens more often but he's a national spokesperson so it got headlines.

Oh, believe me, I totally understand.
Even as a (mostly) easygoing person, I don't get as enraged about anything as much as I do animal and child abuse.
It's a violent abuse of power, and sometimes affected by control and arrogance issues.
Abuse towards the most vulnerable among us (children, animals, adults with any physical or mental challenge, and anyone whose natural authentic self is not accepted by the masses) is the absolute cruelest.
But the fact remains that not every child and adult has the good fortune and great blessing of overcoming what has happened to them. ![]()
I always wonder why, however, that when people know of something that is totally wrong, they don't ever report it.
It can even be done anonymously, if they feel that doing so will cause immediate danger.
If you see or hear something, say something!
As human beings, we all have that responsibility - and power - to help.

It's not to do with his seeing/etc. a young gal. The age of consent in that state is 16. It has to do with pictures on his computer, I believe
correction: Also, soliciting s=x with minors

Feline, we don't know if anything happened to him. What we do know is that not every child who was abused grows up to abuse other children. It is not a given.

I work at a children's hospital and it is SICKENING the EXCUSES adults come up with for having abused or killed their children, and in my eyes, that is what itvis,,,an excuse. NOT EVERY ABUSED CHILD GROWS UP TO ABUSE, THERE ARE PLENTY WHO ARE LOVING PARENTS AND PLENTY OF NON ABUSED ADULTS WHO ABUSE. I agree, a lot of it is a power, "i'll show them who's boss. Excuses, nothing but excuses,,,,makes me sick. Come spend the day at our ER or the PICU and tell me you feel "sympathy" towards the adults

Yes, it's about the use of force and coercion. Children don't volunteer. We don't excuse the rapists of adults, we should never excuse the rapists of children.

I agree 10,000% percent...sometimes it seems to me children are not valued any longer, something always is more important....a bigger house, cars, trips, "I am stressed" i'll show them" what happened to protecting and valuing our children? They are not just another "possession"

I agree, Noel, and am thankful for it.
But no one comes into the world that way.
