He is a great guy. I know he would never force a women to do something that she wasnt willing to do. Its funny how its consensual and then things change after it is all said and done. To the person commenting all the negativity up above you clearly need to get a life. You sound like a scorned ex-lover who is trying to take her anger out and try to drag someones name through the dirt. Whatever goes on in his marriage is between him and his wife. It is none of your business. People in this day and age have open relationships all the time.

To the rapist activist:
Do i sound like a scorned ex lover??
Well that would be hard to narrow down wouldnt it? Anger lol heavens no anyone with half a brain would be thrilled to rid themselves of him not be angry..
Is marriage between them?? Or is it between him and every woman he messes around with??
Im a little confused because open relationship usually means that it all out in the open and you dont have to force yourself onto someone else to make up for whats lacking at home ,thats one thought or maybe just maybe all the god awful things he has been doing to women has just all caught up to him, maybe he finally met a woman that would stand up to his threats and come forward to say something im hoping to stop him from hurting anyone else i believe the words you used were taking your anger out hmmmmm do you thinks thats what he was doing taking his anger out when he forced multiple people to bend over a bed and forced himself onto them from behind with a innocent patient in the bed who was unable to communicate, you know he does sound like a great guy doesnt he??
I do wonder though if he will have the same outlook as you do on this subject when someone in jail drags his name through the dirt if you know what i mean?? They dont too kindly to rapists in the joint so since your such a fan maybe you should start making those care packages now i think they can only get them twice a month…
Oh and one more thing before i go maake sure to include SOAP on a ROPE.. hes gonna need it!!!!

To the scorned ex- lover,
I do not condone rape of any sort. I do however believe that we have a justice system for a reason and that is to prove ones innocence. If you look at the statistics you will see that 20,000+ people are locked up under false allegations. Also keep in mind the whole deformation of character before you, your mother, and your friend get on here and try to make up stories. Just a little legal advice. Have a great day!

You know I understand the whole innocent till proven guilty but if more tan one woman accuses someone of rape then I’m sorry but you are guilty! Would you be sticking up for him if one of his victims was your daughter? I seriously doubt it! I just hope when the other inmates come for him he’s ready because his victims sure weren’t they were just trying to make a living but I suppose you are going to say they were asking for it next! Maybe instead a monster you should spend your time reading the facts. I’ve seen first hand what he does to women & before you say something smart I’ve never been romantically involved with him. And honestly I feel sorry for his kids especially his daughter.

It’s a sad day when a wife and a child or children are forced to carry the shame that belongs to the husband and or father. Why is she to blame, or why are intentions, morals and values, coming into question. Who’s to say he hasn’t done the same thing to her. Who’s to say that she doesnt struggles every day just to feel comfortable in her own skin, because her identity of a woman was taken from her. Along with her self esteem and self worth being stripped from her.
And here you are ready to do the same. How do we know what goes on behind closed doors? Hell who is to say she even knew, that side of her husband. People usually are very good at keeping part of themselves in the dark, especially since once it comes to light, they can no longer hide in the shadows. Shame on any of you for bringing his family into it. Last time i checked the person that should be held accountable for their actions, is the person that chose to carry their actions out,, not the people around them. And for those of you screaming out his innocence, if they don’t have some sort of evidence at hand to prove the truth behind the accusations it’s investigated until they can make an arrest, or the charges are dropped. The fact that he is sitting behind bars with a 100,000.00 bond pretty much indicates that the truth was told, and evidence upheld the accusation. This isn’t the 50 and 60’s. I’m sure that there were and still are plenty of innocent men and women sitting behind bars, but in this day and age, the likely hood of being arrested just on hear say or accusation of rape is slim, due to this new technology we have. “DNA testing”. Maybe you have heard of it, then again maybe your just some of those good olé back woods kind of boys; with your heads stuck up so far up your back side; that a three year old would have a chance at hold ing a more intelectual conversation than you ever could hope to. Considering the lack of intelligence in your statements I am pretty sure you can figure out which one of the two I am leaning toward, as the answer.
Blaming the victim, like it’s theri fault this neanderthal couldn’ be understand the word NO! Or has no value of perosnal space… so the cictim must be lying, or his wife should be held accountabke; like his choices are somehow their fault. Or she in some way
had something to do with his decision to be a sorry excuse for a man pretty much says alot about you are for better lack of words as a source of life. The words person or men, isn’t even within the realm of a description when referring to this subject and addressing your statements.
I feel sorry for the people in your life that has been subjected to your ignorance on a daily basis.
Ignorance, would only point the finger at someone other than the person to blame. Wouldnt be so quick to defend and scream his innocence if it were your mother, your sister, or your daughter, would you. From my viewpoint her and the children are victims as well. How dare any of you hold her accountable, it is people like you and your uneducated opinions that, keep victims silent, in fear of facing what has been demonstrated here. Because of your judgemental views, not many women have the courage to stand in defense when they have already been stripped of their sense of trust and safety, while being subjected this kind of crap.
It is a sad day that when more than one victim was caused by his actions; the woman that was raped, his wife, his child, or children, and the people that love him; and you stand and claim his innocence, you give him power to play the victim while the true victims struggle from day to day carrying the consequences of his actions, that not only he laid upon them, but you did as well. He physically raped them, and you continue to emotionally anf mentally rape them, when they come forward. I hope for those of you that are on here defending him, do not have a significant other, that has to suffer along with the rest of us due to you ignorant, uneducated, back wood statements… it’s bad enough that you have no shame, in victim blaming, and to do it so openly and show no remorse, speaks volumes about your morals and standards, and quite honestly shows that you have about the same mind set as he does. Am I saying that you are capable of doing what he has, by no means would I make that judgment call. But I can say without a doubt because of people like you, people like that will continue to try and get away with not only physically and emotionally destroying a person, but shattering everything in that persons life in hopes that someone somewhere will point the finger at the victim, and take away any chance of him carrying the shame of his decisions.
It is people like you, defending the wrong and directing the blame on the victim that allows people like that to still look in the mirror .

Not once did anyone of you say I’m sorry for what he has done , yet you sit there and cast stones at the people commenting on this very public crime fighting site im sure they are lashing out because of their bottled up emmotions yet you all continue to defend his character and talk about how wonderful of a person he is… which leads people to think you condone of his behavior and its acceptable in that family… so I’m sorry but not sorry some of the things said were too far but you just can’t convince me she doesn’t know and his family doesn’t know and someone said she takes her vows seriously and is sticking by him why should society show any mercy to a woman or family who would stand by a man capable of that? I personally was affected im saying and im telling you PUBLICLY i will be at court and I will testify and I will do anything in my power to make sure he cant and won’t hurt anyone else and if that makes me a bad person then so be it i hope he gets the max sentence and never works with the elderly again.. and i agree with the person above when they said that makes her pathetic and a horrible mother to explore those children to a psychopath…. its my opinion im posting it

First of all if my dad, grandpa, husband or son was accused of raping multiple women I would definitely question them. And if it was my father, son or grandpa I wouldn’t completely write them off that being said I would want them punished for their crimes. But if it was my husband I wouldn’t want to risk losing my kids because we live under the same roof. And no matter who it was I would never let my daughter around them. And ok maybe his wife didn’t know that he is a rapist but I bet deep down she knew something iis wrong with him. But I do know for a fact she knew about the cheating. And I know someone who was involved with him & the things she told me about him sent up red flags to the point where I told her to be careful & let me know when & where they were going & to call me after so I knew she was safe. And I’m not saying the wife was holding women down for him & I know she wants to think he’s not capable of this but I think but supporting him she’s risking her kids. And I think she does know he’s guilty.
