The impulse to expose your genitals to a teenage girl is pretty mind-bogglingly disgusting. And it didn't just happen once. It happened TWICE. This man has 5 kids. How on earth would he feel if some grown man did that to one of his own children?

You are moving the goal posts here. He didn't do it to one of his own children. Obviously, that would be an incestuous act, which is far, far worse than flashing a stranger who is nearly an adult and potentially could be mistaken for an adult. When I was 17, I was 5'9" tall and people absolutely mistook me for an adult at times. For that matter, at age 14, I was 5'7" and, while at the mall babysitting a 7 year old, was once asked if I wanted to sign up for a department store credit card. I haven't seen the particulars of his crime. I don't even know if he knew her age before exposing himself or if he only learned of that in the course of the trial.

  I didn't say that he exposed himself to his own children. I'm just surprised a father of so many children would be so tone-deaf to how a young girl might react to such repulsive behavior from an adult. The most recent incident involved two 17 year olds, but his previous arrest was for exposing himself to a 15 year old. FIFTEEN. 15 year old girls don't look like grown women. I get that sometimes teen girls look older than they are, but that doesn't make it remotely ok for a grown man to expose himself. And I must say... I hardly believe this guy has only exposed himself to girls twice.

    15 year old girls don't look like grown women. As stated above, I was being mistaken for an adult when I was a 14 year old girl. You do not need to hire this man. You also don't need to shit all over his attempts to put his life back together. He has stated that his therapist sees him as not at risk of reoffending. Edit: I will add that I believe I have spoken to this same individual before and I politely chided him at that time because I felt he was being a butt and, no, was not reformed. He's not being a butt today, here, in this thread. I think he finally got the memo that sneering at societal mores is a good way to make sure you and your kids starve.

> mind-bogglingly If it's so mind-boggling then people can say that they don't understand it, maybe even ask questions to try to grasp it. But I feel we should leave out the judgement about something that we don't understand - it's very ironic to say 'I'm completely ignorant' and in the next sentence pass judgment on someone else - and about other commenters, which is not appropriate at all. People seem to think that a conviction licenses them to act out on the self-righteous anger that humans seem to carry around.
