How do you know when a liar is no longer telling lies?  You never do.  If Sam Adams were a school teacher, a Rabbi, a Priest or anyone else in such a position and had admitted to the things he has admitted to, after being caught...not of his own volition, he would not be in a position of responsibilty.  The behavior described is called "grooming" and is one of the behaviors that sexual preditors are known for and that people charged with the care of our children are taught to watch for.  I do not want a sexual preditor leading my city, or being held up as a roll model (example, his word) to children...you can lie, you can get caught, you might be humiliated...but you keep your high paying, powerful position....wow...what a lesson!
