Mission Viejo Man Arrested for Child Molestation

Johnny Hayes

Disturbing story.  I read about it both on the OC Register and a blog called Mission Viejo Dispatch and got  information from each one:

A 39-year-old Mission Viejo resident was charged with sexually molesting his daughter’s friend during a weekend sleep-over.  The two girls were softball teammates. (MVD)

Investigators believe that Haynes, a 39-year-old man who had been volunteering at the high school for at least a year, had one of the female players over at his home last week. Haynes is alleged to have touched the girl inappropriately, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department. (OCR)
Another victim in this, whether this guy is found guilty or not, is his daughter.  How would you like to go back to school and face your classmates and your teammates when your father has been arrested for molesting one of your friends?

Once again, we need to find a way to be sure that anyone who volunteers to work around children/teens has pure intentions.  How do we find that out?  I don't know, background checks don't always reveal the sinister motives for someone wanting to "help out the high school girl's softball team..." unless of course, they have a previous conviction.

This makes me angry, all of these incidences. Where do these people get off thinking it's ok to ruin these kids' lives?
