Sure are a lot of sex offender reports out of Sussex. Do they have more than here or are they just better at catching and reporting them?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just don't understand why a teacher/school employee would do this. He should know that sooner or later he'll get caught,his job will go down the tubes, and he'll end up in the big house. What a big price to pay because you cannot keep it zipped. There's something wrong with a 38-year-old who has to have sex with a minor. Good grief!
