I have access now and will read further.<br /><br />By the way, this hasn't been the first reported instance of a doctor being charged with crimes against minors; I have seen several. This fact is disconcerting, but it is equally enlightening in that it obliterates the myth that a sex offender must meet a certain kind of profile. In turn, that is why I have an aversion to profiling, because the practice seems to be based on a set of assumptions that are not always true, as in this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-19797620890505306342011-03-10T13:24:18.993-08:002011-03-10T13:24:18.993-08:00Researcherone:

One of the victims testified the abuse began he was 9, and continued until he "fled" at age 21.<br /><br />The case is indeed a good reminder about the sex offenders all around us. Registries tend to obfuscate this reality, making parents feel more secure about certain upstanding individuals in the community than may be warranted.Karen Franklin, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01032855743077403199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-73573335808897432992011-03-10T12:50:45.674-08:002011-03-10T12:50:45.674-08:00Not that it makes a difference from a legal standp...Not that it makes a difference from a legal standpoint, but I am curious to know the ages of these boys at the time the offenses were committed.<br /><br />This is quite shocking news to hear about someone so prominent being charged and sentenced for such a crime. Still, this is a reminder to people that sex offenders (even child molesters) exist in all strata of society.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-65382377480423772872011-02-28T00:02:14.109-08:002011-02-28T00:02:14.109-08:00Justice is done!Justice is done!wolverine4abolishmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02967460780387293352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361358365193630538.post-13128177388406206732011-02-26T09:32:23.489-08:002011-02-26T09:32:23.489-08:00"Good riddance" is all I have to say."Good riddance" is all I have to say.4nSickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17008408118124978648noreply@blogger.com
