Ten years passed and 35 victims piled up before someone stepped up to stop prolific child molester Louis “Skip” ReVille from continuing to harm young boys.
Ministers, school administrators and college officials could have stopped him, prosecutors say. Those officials had clues of his illicit misconduct, but they failed to act.
In the end, an alarmed mother, who had no real connection to ReVille, was the one who shined the light on his misdeeds, prosecutors said Wednesday when ReVille pleaded guilty to 48 counts of various sex charges from Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties.
It all started when the mom overheard her child and his friend discussing something that just didn’t seem right, prosecutors say.
