Ive knowen Ron for six years now and to tell you the truth it was only a matter of time before all of his sneeky deeds caught up with him. Hes got a wife and kids around that girls age, how could you subject your family to that kind of pain and embarrasment. Rons always been a loud mouth and a very errogant person and it was only a matter of time before he caught. Im shocked he didnt get caught earlier than now, a pos like that belongs behind bars…

Why would you rag on rotc? It has nothing to do with this. What the man did had nothing to do with the military. That’s just childish to make a comment like that.

I knew Barche for three years as one of his students. He gave his phone number out to everyone that was in ROTC just incase any students ever needed help, guidance, or even something simple like what time the football game started. He was an excellent teacher and mentor. However, he also joked around a lot, and was pretty open minded… That’s what being in the Navy for 20+ years will do to you. From what I can gather from the story, this was completely a set up, or some kind of misunderstanding on the girl’s part. You guys ask… “well why didn’t he report it?” The girl was one of his students, and my best guess was that he would never want to get anyone in trouble, because he always looked out for all of his cadets and would do anything to help any of them. My guess is that she either got scared he would tell on her so she got to it first, or her parents just found out and reported it. He’s a good guy, and an even better teacher, i hate to see him take the fall for this.
