This guy is out on bail? Really?
Why can’t these guys be kept locked up until trial? This way we can keep kids safe. This type of crime is one of the worst of all. Sick!
Growing some weed in your backyard carries a worse penalty.
you are so right ,like I said only in Maine!!!!Good one!
The Staff at the BDN deleted my post because (I assume) the word “Naz1” was included. I’m guessing this isn’t much of a newspaper.
I don’t understand why the York county Sherriffs department hadn’t warned him that he was being investigated like Penobscot county did to Rev Bob Carlson.
I wish you wouldn’t refer to the man as Reverend. He wasn’t one.
Of course he is out on bail. He is innocent until proven guilty. Remember this is a four year old who could be confused or coached or actually being molested by a parent or another person and using this person to come out with his trama? So many people here seem un educated to the laws and rights of our country. If this man is guilty he will get his, rightfully so, but an accusation and arrest is just that.
in The 80’s they had plenty of problems with people be coached, it was wide spread
“If this man is guilty he will get his”? In Maine? You must be dreaming.
Well, I hope he does! If this is the case ….yuck what an article even if this is true death would be wonderful by the hands of victims of this sick abuse
Wouldn’t it be fair to say that our current laws regarding sex offenses aren’t serving as much of a deterent? When are we going to put some Viagra into the legal system. Unless of course they want the public to handle these things their own way.
are you kidding me,he will get a slap on the wrist ,this is Maine!!!
