And stories like this make me sad. If convicted or probated, they (1) have to register as a sex offender, (2) end up with a "Scarlett S" on their driver's license, and (3) will be regulated as to where they can live. Some of them are monsters, some are one time offenders, and some are falsely accused. So they choose to kill themselves instead.
Yeah, I know you don't care.

Accused Of Sex Abuse - Kill Yourself.

DSAF. Did society a favor. Thanks for saving the fine folks of Collin county thousands in court costs.
Let all of them start their engines...
I can't even believe you said, "makes me sad."
Who cares if our world is one less in the pedophile department. If he were innocent, I believe he would have stuck around to fight for his life. Unfortunately, many times the victim chooses suicide rather than dealing with the pain. Now that makes me sad.
One less party favor for the party boys on Saturday night in the big house. One less mouth to feed on the state taxpayers dime.
I value life so I always hate to hear about suicide - however as a former Caseworker w/sexual abuse victims I am not sad like you.
If he was guilty he could have taken his punishment (even if a one time offender - stop it before it goes farther.) If he was innocent then he should have stood up for himself and his good family name. At this point I don't think he was innocent and took a cowards way out.
Mary Mack ... I could not have said it better :)
ANYONE whom harms a child deserves worse. And I may get in trouble for this .. but when I saw his picture ... my "Creep Meter" went off. You know that feeling you just get some times?
"Some of them are monsters, some are one time offenders, and some are falsely accused."
I agree with anon one. It also did a favor to children.
And let those who are passionate about defending those poor souls who are "falsely accused" enjoy their cases.
Barry has an excellent point! May none of you or your family ever be falsely accused of such a heinous crime!
Yes if he did those things he needs to be branded! and punished!
But increasingly so in a deprived nation we have many who are psychologically disturbed and must have attention and many get it by accusing falsely to have their minutes of fame rather it is from the media, sympathy from others or being the center of attention.
And we add to the vicious circle by lynching before they are even proven guilty or innocent!
A very recent case of false accusation in Wise County, actually. But for those that actually hurt a kid, hard to empathize.
I wish there was a better way in a couple of instances. One, the very young guy (or girl) that has reached 18 but their partner is 16 or 17 still. The other, should there be some accounting for girls, and boys, that are very sexually aggressive (which is a whole other issue and also a sad statement on our society) and with which an adult gets into a relationship that would not otherwise have happened if not for the overt actions of the "victim". I don't know. Obviously there are other cases that are quite clear.
9:12- This has nothing to do with consensual sex between an "almost adult" and an adult. This was a dirty old man who allegedly (I'll give you that) molested very young girls on his soccer team.
Anyway, I completely agree that some are falsely accused. Very recent cases of that are: Gregory Wallis who spent 18 years in prison and was released in March after DNA evidence proved his innocence, and Billy Wayne Miller who spent 22 years in prison before being released in May. I can't begin to imagine what these men went through. However, these are very rare cases. They didn't have the technology back then like we have today. I would love to know the number of people who get sent to prison today who are falsely accused. Of course, if you ask them, they're all innocent, and their lawyers would say the same...because it's their job.
MM: bravo...."because its their job."
I think anyone who has a child of their own, and has experienced that little face looking into their own with a look of pure trust skips the "sad" aspect of this story. When the world is full of adults who'd like nothing better than to rob the purity from the closest things to God, you don't really feel sadness for them....rather, you feel terror for your children and strive harder to keep them safe.
Rather than speculating that Coach Drummond felt like he was branded w/the Scarlet "S," I suspect that the guilt and sunlight of those knowing about his dark corners drove him to it....
If somebody is falsely accused of a crime against a child, surely in these days of amazing technology and medical wonders, society could glean from that child whether it actually happened or not.
Come on, there are ways without having to publically expose that child to a public trial.
Funny how fast we are to defend these folks, UNTIL one of them tampers with one of our children.
And those who don't have children, just, by golly, don't understand. How can they?
But if you simply KILL children, then you don't have to register or anything. Interesting.
I believe there is a special place in hell reserved for anyone who abuses children or the elderly...
mary mack. 9:12 here. I was responding to Barry's commentary about this issue in general. So I think my remarks were at least relevant to the topic as he outlined it. And I referenced that I would view this case differently than the more complicated scenarios I brought up.
I used to feel the same way that many of you do now. If someone was accused then there must be truth to it -- so skip the trial and castrate him immediately.
Then I followed a most interesting case that happened in Decatur to this incredibly poor guy who could not get a break -- I happened to be in the courtroom one day when this case was being presented and for some reason I became intrigued. His ex-wife who also happens to belong to the "christian" millionaire family in town accused him repeatedly of sexually molesting their children. He went with NO LAWYERS to the DA and CPS for every type of test they would give him -- THEY FOUND HIM TO BE GUILTY OVER NOTHING, THE CHILDREN NEVER MADE ANY TYPE OF AN OUTCRY AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY ALL CONTINUALLY SAID NOTHING HAPPENED but the accusations continued. The ongoing beating of this guy came obviously at the direction of her lawyers who were trying to have his parental rights taken away. I understand from a mutual friend that this guy was near the edge from the process -- not because he had done anything wrong. If I mentioned his name I am confident many of you would know him. I see hiom around Decatur from time to time. I think his children are with him now. They are always with him when I see him. This pooor guy has been ruined for life all for the revenge of an ex-wife and the entertainment of a lawyer.
Barry - I always respect your comments no matter how much a agree or disagree but VERY FEW of these people are one time offenders! Statistics back that up! I love it that you are an attorney with a heart though, most are not!
11:49 - so if this man was falsely accused, is he continuing his fight to prove his innocence?
The guy I referred to has been cleared of all accusations and is not fighting to clear his name. There is nothing further he can do -- there will forever be those religious lunatics that think he did it and got away with it. The damage is done and cannot be undone. By the way, the greatest damage was done to the daughter.
Interestingly enough it was his ex-wife who fought to have the CPS cases suppressed from a later cusody case because she didn't want the judge to think she was a vengeful person at the expense of the children.
