My biggest problem right now is that I can format the picture elements pretty easily, but I still have to find the waking moments to write the words that go along with the pictures.

I end up with a lot of drafts with pictures that get shared late (or never) and I’m sharing this because I want to explain why I’m posting material from months ago.

Now my biggest problem is remembering the details. . .

 

I’m not sure how my reporter and I ended up in Anahiem. The story was about a boxing coach being accused of molesting his underage fighters.

 

 

The coach has been in prison before, but had seemingly turned his life around and was giving back to the community by coaching youth boxing at a local gym.

 

 

We managed to find and talk to friends of the coach who were very open in their praise of the man and shared the belief that the charges were being brought because a young fighter’s mother believed her son deserved more of the coach’s attention.

 

She brought her son to another coach who, we were told, did not do as good of a job training the kid.

 

 

We talked to a lot of people who from the neighborhood who didn’t believe the coach would ever molest anyone.

 

 

The local police pursued the case because they believe there was enough evidence to not only make an arrest, but support a conviction.

 

 

At some point I hope I find out how this case played out. I’m glad I don’t have to decide if the coach is guilty or innocent. My job is to present the story to the best of my ability.

 

I think we did the best we could that day. We cut a piece, did a liveshot, packed up the gear and went home.
