Sorry pal but the bottom line is ZERO tollerance for that kind of behavior. You can look but you cannot touch. Wheather he resigned or was fired makes no matter the real issue was that he simply had to go. Frankly its too bad he ruined a real good thing, he was great at what he did, he has had winners where ever he worked. He will never shake this it will be with him like ugly on an ape for his whole life, it will never go away.

Yup, he's gone, free to do whatever @ the next place that hires him. I don't believe for a moment he has been this fine upstanding person all these years that everyone thinks. He was just caught this time, or reported. Be nice to know how rich that family is now for forgiving him. Something similar to this happened 27 years ago to my daughter when she was 12. I still do not allow the brother-in-law in my house. Forget forgive! And yes my sister is still with him, and yes, she knows.

the Judge must have been on the payroll of the Riders, or the Board of Directors have good strong political ties that influenced the appointing of the Judge and the Crown Prosecutor must also be a Rider season ticket holder who got a complimentary season ticket for the upcoming season.

Thank you to the PA Daily Herald to ALLOW comments on this case. Will he be deported to the USA? Once an sex offender always an sex offender, in his case he got caught, I ask myself how many times did he do this before he got caught? It stated that the family has forgiven him, how much did her pay them? Not one person can comment on this case in other newspapers or online papers, what happened to the Freedom of information Act, and no I don't want to know the victims name, but I people want to exercise their right to information.
