Convicted molester seeks OK to marry
A woman begged a Broward circuit judge Thursday for permission to marry the man she loves: John Medlock, convicted child molester.
His fiancée, Katherine Anderson, says she wants to marry Medlock as soon as possible and have him move in with her and her children, a 10-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl.
Anderson told Circuit Judge Marc Gold that she was aware of her fiancé’s prison record.
“Before we even started dating, he showed me all of his paperwork,” Anderson said. “He’s a wonderful man. He’s about to be ordained as a minister at our church.”
Now, he’s served what the law feels is his time… and I think that he should have the right to marry, if the family is willing to accept him… but I honestly don’t think I could forget his past. Forgiving an admitted sexual predator? I don’t know if I could. I know I wouldn’t want the wedding happening to someone I cared deeply about… I’d have trouble working in the same office with the guy. I get angry just thinking about it.
