The Luke Heimlich sex-offender scandal has caused a lot of spirited debate in the last few days. We were engaged in another round of divided discussion late in Tuesday's radio show (12-3p on 102.9-FM and 750-AM) when the District Attorney of Clackmas County, John Foote, called into the radio show.
As a 15-year old, Heimlich pleaded guilty to sexually molesting a 6-year-old female family member. Heimlich, now 21, registered as a sex offender in Benton County after arriving at Oregon State. Last week, after his crime became public knowledge through a story in The Oregonian/OregonLive, Heimlich decided not to pitch in the team's Super Regional appearance.
