If it was my daughter (or son) who was the victim, he wouldn't be facing time in jail, but would be looking up at the top of a pine box.

I would not have let him near any of my kids. But I like to think I'm not blinded by the idea of my children making it to the NBA. A free college education would be sweet, but there are many kids who get a free education (for athletics) that don't rely on a pervo.
