According to his LinkedIn page he’s a biopharmaceutical hot shot that graduated from BYU. Innocent till proven guilty but if he’s a pedo just lock him up and throw away the key. I’m sick to death of these POS.

These people that abuse children are absolute scum of the earth. I wonder how his wife and neighbors up on the hill in the fancy neighborhood behind AG high school are feeling about this news. Shocked or did they have their suspicions he was a child abuser?
