We are appalled that this criminal would pretend to have been victimized. Shame on him. We are grateful he was caught.

We hope this sad crime won't deter others who were indeed sexually assaulted as kids from coming forward, getting help, protecting children, exposing wrongdoers and beginning to heal.
