I guess this man really set himself up. Who could ask for more access? Gymnastics and cheerleading are two sports which require a hands on approach. And overnight trips, too.

Sure glad that Jeremy believes that. The Mohler brothers believed that too and they're still sitting in jail, 15 months after arrest. Thankfully, this judge raised the bail so Jeremy is not out "tumbling" right now.
And an earlier article from Feb. 9th:
http://www.kptv.com/news/26812451/detail.html
"...Detectives say the *advertiser censored* was graphic in nature and they became extremely concerned when they found that Waldridge not only works with children, but has visited local grade schools to put on demonstrations...."
more at link--including this comment:
"....He would NEVER touch a child he works with. I have the utmost respect for him as a coach..."
If that's true, that puts an awful lot of children in the Portland metroplex in extreme danger. I feel both anger and sorrow for those whose bubbles are burst when men and women they know and trust are arrested for this crime and who jump to their defense. Did this woman honestly believe that pedophiles wear t-shirts proclaiming their interests? Maybe she'll join us and weigh in. But like so many who have, they seem to not come back after there's been a conviction.
