Whew, you said it, @katsrfun, <shiver>. Makes my skin crawl.
So glad he is "in jail without bail," and hoping it will stay that way.
He is in Big Trouble, IMO, especially as it pertains to the alleged sexual assault of someone who was reported to be under 14 years old.
Sock it to him. Grrrr.

It's good that other victims are coming forward. Too bad they don't feel safe reporting it till the perpetrator is arrested. So many young lives hurt by this beast.
