We applaud Cedar Park Chief of Police Sean Mannix for clarifying the Greg Kelley case.

It's rare that a law enforcement official takes the time to explain the evidence and court process so thoroughly.

We understand why that's rare: the job of the police is to catch those who commit crimes, not ”win over” those who side with criminals. 

But this case is somewhat different, and very troubling.

It's somewhat different because family and friends of an admitted, convicted child molester are vocally supporting him, even after a court of law found him guilty. 

And it's very troubling because this public rallying around him.

So we're grateful to Chief Mannix for shedding more light on this case and explaining why Kelley's backers are making the job of catching and prosecuting child sex offenders much tougher.
