5000 for a child,,he must not now know how many women he coulda bought with that..And before you start talking bout prostitution in illegal..I say whatever..a man is paying for sex anyway you look at it..

[My Moma]

Why can't these sex crazed teachers just hook up with each other after school and leave the kids alone?

Find someone your own age loser.

I was a student of Mr. Khoe for four years, and I have known him personally for over ten years. I do not believe this at all, I believe that it is a lie. This is not in his character, and I have contacted many people who also vouch for his character as well. The media has victimized him by labeling him before there is even a verdict. I am female, and in all the hours and hours I spent with him in band practices, he NEVER did anything inappropriate toward me.

i don't think he really did this

If it isn't true the girl(s) involved in accusing him need to be arrested. It's like the Duke Lacross thing all over again.

ya know this all might be true but 5.000 dollars seems a lil far fetched, i didn't know they made that much money

[CC RIDER]

What makes it more unbelieveable, is that they report $5000 was offered for sex....and someone turned it down??? My God, that just sounds farfetched.....I dunno......

[Festus]

ain't too many girls i know gonna turn that offer down i'm sorry but with as materialistic as these lil teenage girls are these days he must have the worst luck in the world ! and now here come the slamfest at what i said sorry parents but i've seen too many of these teenage girls, out and about and who they been hanging all over if they would be with some lil freak all painted up or some thug looking punk for free they ain't gonna turn down 5 grand, let the slam fest begin!

then if you know something you should help the man if he is guilty by all means give him the max but something sounds very wrong here

[RHiggins]

Something is very wrong here. Something very wrong indeed.

[CC RIDER]

It is just to outrageous...

[Festus]

i agree

THEY SHOUD CUT IS BALLS OFF.

What happened to "innocent until proven guilty?" What if the girls got together to slam this guy? I wouldn't be so hasty to jump to judgement. The offer of $5000 doesn't pass the sniff test!

[tom]

If I had been the girl, I would have wanted the money up front. And,with a quick squeeze between the perverts legs,I would have calmly walked out the door with the money saying;"there's your sex."

[RHiggins]

I agree with Greer neighbor. He's been slandered by the media, without any evidence.

[Youaretoostupidt o ive]

Most of the posts on the WLTX stories are ridiculous and written by the likes of an adolescent (sorry to use big words there). However, I agree with RHiggins and Greer neighbor. Thomas Khoe is innocent until proven guilty! The media loves to run with a sex and crime story, but what if he is found innocent, how interested will they be in the story then? "Poor troubled teens..blah blah." Meanwhile a man's life in ruined.

How dare you say something like that. You don't know anything about this man or the case except what you have read. I personally have known Thomas Khoe for 8 years, he was my band director and my employer. This man would have never done this. Since you don't personally know him, then I understand that you don't have the same perspective of this situation. However, you should weigh all sides of the story before you send him to guillotine. All you have heard is that he is ACCUSED (which by the way to be accused does not mean that he has been proven guilty). If you want to post comments such as the one that you did, you need to wait for some proof to back you up.
