Laura - how can you say he resigned due to his guilt? You are the one living in la la land. The one who likes to hear themselves talk endlessly about something they know nothing about. Get the facts first then start posting your idiotic comments.
How do you know he resigned because of his guilt? You are making assumptions.
How many people are in prison right now for admitting to a crime that they didn’t commit? Just because he resigned doesn’t automatically mean he is guilty. Maybe he had consensual sex with locked up hookers and is embarrased!!!!!! He may be guilty of raping them, but I’m not ready to hang him until I get more details.
I too am a victim of abuse, but I’m not going to crucify every man because of it until I know that they are guilty!
There’s more than 1 accusor and he already resigned due to his guilt.Are you going to apologize?Your words further damage victims,to call them haters of society.What do you expect when people are living in freaky a** La La land,like it(sexual abuse) couldn’t happen to you or yours?
“He’s trying to cut his losses so he won’t be charged criminally.“
Not exactly true. I don’t know the specifics of why he left, but as far as I know, if even an accusation comes out about having relations with an inmate, you need to resign because you won’t recover (e.g., constant ridicule from the inmates)
If he was innocent,he would not resign.He’s trying to cut his losses so he won’t be charged criminally.It costs 40,000 to house a prisoner for a year,that pales in comparison to million dollar payouts for civil rights violations.
Ok, well if it comes out that the inmate made this up to get the officer fired, will you recant?
Go back to the beginning of this blog,you will see at least one of these defenders made that statement.
Can’t make me into a hater of society-I am a repairer of people that were damaged by sex offenders.
Once again these women could not consent.
Again, I feel most emotions in this thread down to a hatred of society as a whole.
