Guys, calm down.
The original news report was from 1998 - so 15 years ago. It must have been reposted in January of this year on the site I found in the OP. I was also confused by that post saying the abuse occurred when the victim was between the age of 4 - 6 in the 70s, and was 'currently' in his 20s. Once I dug a little deeper and found the conviction was in 1998, then it all made sense - except for the part about the molester claiming he was wrongly accused and just "too affectionate."
