If these were children (or mentally retarded), the employer probably
broke the law. In most states now, if you work with these segments of
the population, and you believe there _might_ _possibly_ be a case of
molestation (i.e. if there's enough evidence to even raise a question 
in your mind), you are required by law to report it to the Department
of Social and Health Services (or whatever it is called). If you fail
to do so, you are automatically an accomplice and will be prosecuted
as same.

If J. Kenneth Riviere is concerned, perhaps he should report it to the
authorities. One good highly publicised case and I guarantee it won't
happen again!
