Video on News Report site.4-27-2013 Tennessee:
A father says his family has paid a price for raising questions about whether a registered sex offender should be attending Girl Scout functions.
"My daughters received a couple of messages on her Facebook stating we are just making up lies about Mr. Maynard," Richard Cox said.
That's the kind of retaliation that Cox says he and his 13-year-old daughter don't deserve.
Cox has been consoling his family throughout the process of finding out whether Keith Maynard did anything against the law. He says he doesn't understand why his family is being harassed, after reacting the way he felt most fathers in his position would.
"Myself and my family, we feel like we did the right thing, trying to protect our child as well as everybody else."
Cox says he knew Maynard had been convicted of statutory rape of a 15- year- old girl who he met through the Girl Scouts.
Ultimately, a judge clarified that Maynard wasn't violating any laws, and the convicted sex offender is allowed to attend girl scout meetings as long as he's with his daughter or wife.
Even though Cox says the family has been under a lot of attack, he isn't angry, and certainly not looking for revenge. ..Source.. by News Channel 9.com
