Dude may be guilty but you people have no idea!!!!!!!
Do you know how many 16 year olds have told a bunch of crap just to get someone in trouble!!!!?
+100
guess now days your guilty till proven innocent
when it comes to accusations of child molestation of any kind, then you can bet your booty you should be guilty until proven innocent IMO, and i don't know a single 16 year old that would/or has accused someone of sexual misconduct to get someone in trouble.
he obviously did something inappropriate and deserves whatever he gets.
feel free to judge me for my comments.

Champ, i can judge on comments like that because of experience, my son who was 18 at the time was accused of the very same thing, by a young wh@&e that very age when her mother found out she was sexually active . We were very lucky the the investigator new the girl and and after some very long and heated questioning she finally came forward with the truth that she had lied about her age and invited him and to their house while her parents were out of town for the nite. My son is 23 now and has trouble trusting women since that happend.

Big difference between 31 and 18. He may not have done anything but there was likely some hard evidence of something inappropriate (Law not your son to clarify). When you are 31 you should know better. I am not saying he is guilty or not but to be put in this situation you have to think so wrong decisions were likely made.

Dont yall want to know the whole story before you string him up?
If he did it then Ill buy the rope but all we have is that he was charged and I would venture to say most if not all of us have no idea what those charges even mean.
As most on here know I dont trust the police or the system, there have been plenty of people ruined by an overzelous or crooked cop or da. PLENTY!!!!!!!!!

yep, wait til you knwo the facts and we see if he is guilty of anything. I could charge anyone fo you with any crime I want and you woudl have a warrant issued for your arrest and you woudl be arrested and CHARGED with whatever crime i said you commited agaisnt me...that doesn't mean you did anything.
Big difference betwen 18 and 31? The only difference is age. If I was 31 and single I would love to "hang out" with an 18 year old! You'd be a fool or queer if you said different. No different thatn an 18 year old guy and a 31 year old "cougar"

Different strokes for different folks I guess... age, maturity, income, security, education. YOu see where I am going here. There is alot of differences between and 18 yo and a 31 yo.

While I agree on the "lets see if he's guilty" part - it wasn't a 31 year old with an 18 year old woman. It was a 31 year old with a 15 year old girl. I'm sure he know the girls age. (the 31 vs 18 year old was a 31 yo man with a minor vs an 18 y.o. man with a minor).
I think there's enough evidence that you can just about say he's guilty. I mean - we could be all "PC" like the nutjob in Aurora who is the "alledged" gunman.
Saying you'd like to hang out with one and doing it are two different things as well. I'm 35 and have a 19 year old step daughter. If I somehow ended up single, I just don't think I'd be hanging out with 18 year olds.

You are kidding your self if you think that there aren't 15 year old girls out there that could make up such a story. I am not saying that this is the case here, but you can bet that it happens. Its part of the morally declining world we live in.

You probably didn't realize this, but false allegations of child sexual abuse are made all the time. Most of the time, the charges are dropped before they make it to court. People from "nice" families and "christian" families do it all the time for spite, revenge, anger, etc. Most often its the parents making the false charges. It often comes up in custody disputes.
You are probably a little young to appreciate this, but as you cultivate a good professional image among your peers, you have to extra careful about people who cry wolf. Think of these people as liabilities. All you need is one person to cry sexual harassment, favoritism, racism, or whatever. It doesn't matter whether the claims are unsubstantiated, you become stigmatized off rumors alone (a-la your above comment). I've seen it happen to good guys. I make conscientious decisions not to work with loose cannons in order to protect my sterling reputation.
I am not hating on you here, just sharing wisdom.

Very well said JDGator. I started typing a reply a few times and each time it sounded like I was hating.
Accusations are very easily made and the damage is done whether the person is acquited or not. There will always be folks talking behind that persons back saying, "Well, there had to something to it or there wouldn't have been a charge."
I taught pre-school Sunday school for many years with my wife. One Sunday a lady visitor showed up with her child and had a cow that a "man" was teaching children's Sunday School. I invited her to meet my wife when she was through and the lady just got louder and louder. Associate pastor finally asked her to leave, we didn't need that sort of garbage. It did make me think. I always had a policy that on those Sundays when the wife was sick or home with a sick kid that I wouldn't enter the room without a woman to teach the class with me. There were two or three times where I stood at the door with the lady running the Sunday school division asking me to just go ahead, nothing is going to happen. I always refused. After the experience with the lady visitor I dropped out of doing it that next week. There was just to much risk.
When this thread started talking about false accusations I Googled false sexual accusations and found more than I cared to read. Everything from kids with an authoritative father using it to get the father out of the house so they can do what they want to divorce. I was given the impression that it happens more than I realized.
If he's guilty, I hope they string him up. But I don't think making that determination on an internet forum is really the way to go. As has already been said, the damage is done whether there is any truth to it or not.

I am going to throw in with Lodi on this....If he did something, I am in favor of a long slow public death. A 15 year old girl can and will make false accusations - I have seen it. i have 2 daughters that are grown now, but when younger I made sure that if they had friends around I was never the only adult around- it sux feeling like a prisoner in your own house.

Here's the thing- guilty or not- this guy was in a position of trust. He goes to schools educating children on weather and has access to children of all ages. When you are in his role, you NEVER put yourself in the position that he did. He privately communicated with a 15 year old over Facebook and had her in his home alone. Both of those are being reported as fact. Those two facts alone should NEVER happen this day in age, as it sets you up for this kind of situation. He crossed a MAJOR line, and now is going to deal with the repercussions for a long time- even if he is innocent of the abuse charges.

position of trust? come on now... who in the world really "trusts" the local weatherman? i mean, for real, "you can't trust the weatherman, making his living on a lucky chance..."
