Also, note that he was booked for "investigation" of commiting a lewd act. Aren't they supposed to investigate first, THEN arrest the individual? I haven't heard any follow-up on this even though it was two months ago.

Mike's right... Something seems a bit off here. I'm sure that many of us male umpires who have called girls' games have had the thought of, "gee, could something I do here get misinterpreted? Am I too close to the catcher?" I think it's most men's worst fear: being falsely accused of indecencies with a minor.
I'm not saying the guy's innocent, but something about this story just doesn't jive. Maybe a team lost and the girls wanted payback? A buddy of mine who coaches girls' HS lacrosse says that he's overheard girls on the team or near the field brag about having gotten older men in trouble, almost as a badge of honor...
No clue here.
