Alestas is now the second school resource officer in Northampton County charged with a sexual crime against a student in less than a month. The last one happened at Easton Area High School, where a Palmer Township officer was charged for allegedly exposing himself to a minor. Chief Kott said they don't want these incidents to tarnish the reputation of other officers.

Uh huh. That train has left the station.

Look, a little bit of murdering minorities between friends... that's fine. But there's only one organization in the world that I'm aware of that actively defends pedophiles... and the police uniforms don't have big enough hats to join the catholic church.
