My boyfriend told me he heard of a guy who molested a kid, but then he became a minister or something like that, and hasn't harmed any kids since the one mentioned (that we know of). I don't remember if he spent any time in prison. There are protesters in front of his church lately Even his congregation knows about the molestation, but accepts him, since he does good works and is a good person, as far as they're concerned.

I don't think this guy should have ever gotten out of jail (or should have gone there and stayed there). As I understand, kids don't "get over" being molested or raped, and it affects the rest of their lives, so why should the person who harmed them get to have a normal life?

Does anyone feel differently?
