Oh yes—and the child rapist to whom they handed those little girls was a "teacher" there.

Were any of them "Have sex with a consenting adult"?

Not only that. I don't know the Ex-Cops, but I expect that at this stage of their careers, they're probably not breaking even as musicians (i.e., [cost of being in the band] > [money the band makes]).

Yes, he might be a total shit and a lousy father. Or he might be a divorced/unmarried dad who shows up on the regular and helps out financially (and otherwise) as best he can.
