VF with charge involving minor
Throwaway account. Recently I found out that someone I know who is a volunteer firefighter (~70 yrs of age) and holds an EMR certification was charged with sexual imposition (touching) of a minor ~20 years ago. They entered a no-contest plea and were found guilty. The sentence included a fine, three suspended days in jail, no contact with the victim, no similar offense for two years, and counseling through a center for abuse prevention, they are not on any sorts of registry but I found thru family and it’s all public information on the clerk of courts database. They did their time but the fact that involved a minor is pretty wild. They do community events with children and I’m sure the township and fire department do some sort of background check but I guess what I’m asking you guys as someone not in this field of work but has kids in the community, is this person really allowed to be in a public service role especially doing events with children? They have lots of family in town so I’m afraid of retaliation.
