I know this is somewhat OT, but last year at my child's preschool, an 18 yo male teacher was accused of raping a four year old at least two different times. In his affidavit he admitted to doing this, saying it was an "accident". I have seen, firsthand, what something like that does to a community of people, the far-reaching effects of his actions through the last year. I have also seen his mother bash the school, defend her son to the end, and live in complete denial that he did anything wrong. He is under her supervision awaiting trial, and it scares the daylights out of me, because she probably isn't watching his every move, making sure he's not around kids, etc. because she believes he didn't do it. I can see where JAG's family could be living in the same denial, even after a conviction, and not keeping tabs.
