[MR] re: announcement from SCA Pres

[james barker]

Erich I think your post is what the earlier post about avoiding this topic 
wished to avoid. Remember this guy is innocent until proven guilty and there 
are many cases of children lying about this kind of thing. A jury will hear 
all the evidence and make a ruling.

That said I read some of the children’s testimony and if he is found guilty 
he deserves every beating he takes in prison.

I hope this does not start some panic, it did not happen at an SCA event, 
and not all the victims are in the SCA. As already stated you can’t predict 
these things and without previous history of such acts how could we weed a 
person with this perversion out? Parents just have to be there as much as 
possible.

Remember innocent until proven guilty. We will all know the truth soon 
enough.

Belphoebe,
I think you mean "prosecuted" rather than "persecuted". In any case,
frequently all that needs to be done is to tell the other inmates what
the molester is in for. Note the photograph in
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/Northeast/11/12/abuse.sleepovers.ap/ --
somebody in the jail found out.
