He plead guilty. Pretty much means he admits the the allegations in the police report to be true.

So once he’s sentenced they’ll start the process of firing him.

I doubt they have to wait until he is sentenced. Plea is entered, therefore he is guilty of a felony and is now a sex offender. The sentence in immaterial and the town should fire him immediately.

So, I actually read the article. He’s been on unpaid leave and now that he’s been sentenced, the town is meeting to decide what to do.

I just hate the armchair knee jerk shit. None of us know what will get the town sued. They fire him in a way that’s not allowed by the CBA, they’ll get sued. You can be sure of that. He’s not on duty, he’s not being paid. He’ll be fired. Relax.

Usually, the prosecutor gives them immunity from any real punishment for pleading guilty, so it's really a get out of jail free card.
