Read these articles in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Absolutely sickening.
All of the stories talk about officials with horrible criminal backgrounds (including child pornography, sexual assault, etc) officiating HS sports in Western Pennsylvania.
I was in the same HS and summer ball association as one the guys that is mentioned in the articles. I probably worked a few dozen games with him over the years. Obviously, I had no idea about his past run-ins with the law. Another poster on this board also was a member of the same association.
