The inmates are running the asylum!

Would you take your son or daughter to a psychiatrist who was a convicted child molester? If you made an appointment with Dr. William Olmsted, that's just what you'd be doing. He pled guilty to indecency with a child last January for molesting his neighbor's 10-year-old daughter who was visiting his own daughter. While watching a movie, Olmsted's daughter fell asleep. He then molested the visiting child, all the while asking her if "it felt good." The child finally was able to pull away and run toward home. He called after her to "keep it a secret."

On his conviction, he received deferred adjudication, meaning he will be able to have his record expunged if he's not caught again. I say not caught again instead of doesn't commit another offense, because the recidivism rate for child molesters is practically 100%. Now, to add insult to injury, he's been allowed to keep his medical license. Incidentally, another child has come forward with further allegations against Olmstead. The inmates are truly running the asylum!
