He was a business owner in our community that had us all fooled about what kind of man he really was. They say what comes around goes around and I pray he will get what’s coming to him behind bars. There is no cure for these predators or the devastation they cause their victims that have a lifetime of nightmares, fears, and emotional problems. I know him personally and his neighbor another family friend was accused and convicted of things he was doing to his own daughter a few years ago. 68 counts is probably the only dates she has specific dates for and there’s more that can't be substantiated. When was the last time you read someone had 68 CHARGES! I know what this does to the family left behind and the scars it leaves. May he burn in hell.

Well let's hope that Judge Dowd doesn't over see the case.
