  • Sex Offender

    What a disgusting interview! What about his victim? The sex offender is moving on, being a guest speaker, blah blah. His victim will probably end up in a horrible situation too- not because he/she did anything wrong, but because they were abused and unable to move on so easily. Because your guest was a sexual predator. Gross.
