Convicted molester seeks OK to marry
A woman begged a Broward circuit judge Thursday for permission to marry the man she loves: John Medlock, convicted child molester.
His fiancée, Katherine Anderson, says she wants to marry Medlock as soon as possible and have him move in with her and her children, a 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.
Anderson told Circuit Judge Marc Gold that she was aware of her fiancé's prison record.
``Before we even started dating, he showed me all of his paperwork,'' Anderson said. ``He's a wonderful man. He's about to be ordained as a minister at our church.''
the whole story is here-
Now, he's served what the law feels is his time... and I think that he should have the right to marry, if the family is willing to accept him... but I honestly don't think I could forget his past. Forgiving an admitted sexual predator? I don't know if I could. I know I wouldn't want the wedding happening to someone I cared deeply about... I'd have trouble working in the same office with the guy. I get angry just thinking about it.
