July 21, 2007 - Michael J. Garvie, 30, a teacher and coach at St. Bernard, a Catholic school, has resigned. He was arrested July 6 on charges of enticing a minor and risk of injury to a minor for internet sex chats with what he thought was a 15-year-old girl. It was a police officer.
According to court documents, Garvie told police he and his wife had recently returned from their honeymoon and he had never intended to meet with the girl. That caused a poster at the site to wonder,
Please let us know why men will do this internet thing. I find it so difficult to understand. Why do they endanger their lives, wives and careers for this obvious thrill. Are they mentally unstable, do they have some weakness that believes they are above us all or are they obsessive about this type of action and is there any help or treatment for them? If so what is the rate of cure?TT - We wonder, too. But for sheer wonderfulness, there was this comment:
"Why is he pleading not guilty if everyone knows he did it???If he worked at a public school, it would be a different matter. Teacher Tenure Law in Connecticut.
