I sure relate to those feelings, Mark!

One thing that's good about this, though, is that he was caught "in the act". This sends a strong message to the actual victims and to the other girls around them that this behavior is NOT okay, and that there are adults around who are interested in protecting them from any further molestation. That's not a message a girl in this type of situation always gets. In fact, often, when it's a trusted figure, such as a coach or priest, or teacher, or grandparent, (or parent), the girl gets very mixed messages, and the behavior goes unconfronted. I'm glad to see it didn't happen this way in this situation. Perhaps if he's had other victims, they'll get a chance to "tell" and get some opportunity to move forward with their lives.
