Former ALPA EVP arrested for child molestation.

[COOPERVANE]

A while back I flew with a guy on the sexual predators list. He volunteered the info after I made an ignorant "they should all be strung up by the balls comment"

Turns out, he and his current wife were high school sweethearts and when he was eighteen and she was 16 her parents (who hated him) called the cops when she got pregnant. And it WAS illegal to have consensual sex with a minor. Even if you have been dating for 3 years and end up marrying them.

He entered a plea to keep out of prison.

BOOM on the list.

I don't think he would have volunteered that info if he was guilty of anything perverse.

Considering that even just the charge of child molestation can ruin a person for the rest of their life, I think this is one of those cases where newspapers shouldn't even run stories about accusations, until there is a verdict. Innocent until proven guilty, and that includes a person's reputation.

Does he still fly for XJT?

The guy actually told me he was going through a divorce and his wife was making accusations. This was probably 6 months ago.

Actually is more like guilty until proven innocent in this kind of case.

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
I agree anyone who molests children should be locked away in prison ( pedophiles don't have it easy in prison )
But let's not convict someone on what the news media reports. You never know, it can come out at trial that the whole accusation (s) could have all been fabricated. Even if the news media has already convicted someone

Maybe she's divorcing him because he touches kids.

 

[Speedtape]

It's pathetic that anything could be published until there is a trial and outcome. The man's life is ruined whether it's true or not. No one will clear his name if he's found innocent. And, I am sure Clutch will not do the noble thing and recant his inferences and innuendos should the man be declared not guilty.

The false abuse case is more common than you'd think in divorce cases. What happens is that profiteering divorce attorneys ask lots and lots of leading questions, eventually convincing the person to make an accusing based on this mental conditioning.

We saw this back in the 80s with the "repressed memory" abuse cases, many of which were later determined to be based on prosecutorial zeal.

Just think of the Duke LaCrosse false rape accusation. Everyone just piled on because it seemed so "obviously" true.

Yet, the so-called victim later murdered a man. And the pansy-a$$ DA got disbarred. THAT was a beautiful development.

Know what is also really sickening?

Adult men who can't WAIT to pile on an assume he's guilty, because it gives them something to huff about like a bunch of church ladies.

A guy I flew with was falsely accused by his b]tc4 wife.

Women who make false accusations should get sent to prison for the amount of time the man would have served. Now, at most they get scolded by a prosecutor or judge.

Google false rape accusations in the UK papers and it will stand your hair on end. The Brits are much more manly than Americans when it comes to punishing false accusers.

What has XJT done so far in response to this? I hope they didn't just jump to conclusions and fire him.

 

[Freebrd]

I believe he can still work until he's convicted. Right now he's considered innocent in regards to employment.

 

[ron burgundy]

It's all crap! I just expected the same title...different name.

 

[asayankee]

It is virtually impossible to get fired from Asa. Many people have tried!

 

[Freebrd]

White Dragon still here. Just saying.

 

[paid4training]

It's a very easy accusation to make but hard to disprove!! He's screwed either way!!!
