You just never really know about people….
In 1991-ish, I took the class “Ad Copywriting” with Professor Gibbs at Shippensburg University. He was a great Prof. Everyone loved his class. He was animated, kind, and had actually worked in the communications field.
Fast forward to a few months ago and I hear that he was a fugitive–being sought for charges on child molestation. Tonight on the news, I see he was caught in Panama.
Last year a client of mine was charged with possession of child porn. I found this out through a google search, confronted him, and “fired him”. And he was a relaively well-known guy.
What’s more amazing to me than the fact that these people committed these crimes is the fact that they think they’re too smart to get caught. I’m glad they’re not.
