Monsters Hiding In Plain Sight

NEW YORK

This unnerves me:

In what law enforcement officials have described as the largest-ever enforcement operation in New York going after people who “possess, produce or distribute sexually explicit images of children,” 70 people have been arrested across the state and charged with crimes involving the exploitation of children.

The people arrested include two police officers, two registered nurses, a paramedic, an au pair, and an individual who served as both a den master with the Boy Scouts of America and a Little League baseball coach. …

A chief of police (who was also a Sunday school teacher and child sex-abuse educator) and a rabbi — and their arrests led to the others. Stunning. It makes you feel that you can never, ever let your guard down. Ever.
