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.

This is a bit reactionary, given the lists of crimes in the article.

I have a conviction of one of those crimes listed.

I work in law enforcement. I also have a TS/SCI security clearance due to my position in the Army.

But I guess I would be one of those scumbag criminals that shouldn't be around children, huh?
