Do we really need to talk about the sex life of an old man?

Cabarrus County Commissioner Coy Privette seems to have "skipped town", probably waiting until this whole sex scandal storm has blown over.
Should we even be talking about this whole thing? Shouldn't we let the guy just deal with his personal problems? In the case of Mr. Privette I think we should talk about it and I'll explain why.


Coy Privette's whole political career is built around being a person of "high moral values". Now it seems that that whole reputation was just a lie it directly influences how He can or can not serve as a politician any longer.
As I said before, for me this case isn't really about the sex, it's about the total hypocrisy of a politician. I'm not interested in all the lurid details of what Coy Privette did specifically, I'm interested in the hypocritical aspect of it.
I know in John 8 it says, "The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone..."
The problem is that Mr. Privette has done nothing but throw stones his whole life.
One example: Coy Privette called a friend of mine who organized a vote on serving liquor by the drink in our local bars and restaurants an "agent of the devil".
We all know that we're not perfect, but I don't feel like telling someone how they should or should not have sex, if they should drink and/or gamble or not. Coy Privette did.

This was not a one time mistake, Coy Privette is charged with six counts of aiding and abetting prostitution. I also have a strong suspicion (not hard evidence) that this has been going on for a much longer time. A friend of mine that works in the medical field here in Cabarrus County stated to me that "If you knew what I know you could have seen this coming for years".
This person of course didn't want to elaborate, since there is such a thing as medical confidentiality. I'm not sure if i even want to know more.

The problem is that even if Privette, 74, were convicted of the charges, Cabarrus County Manager John Day said "Privette’s fellow commission members do not have legal power to remove him from the board."
Shouldn't we make sure that we have that legal power?
Once convicted, a commissioner should be required to resign from the County Commission especially (and this is not the case for Privette) if convicted of a crime that is in anyway related to his position as a County Commissioner (e.g. taking bribes).

I believe that if Mr. Privette thinks he's innocent, he should take a leave of absence from his County Commission seat so he can fully concentrate on his defense and his family. If Mr. Privette knows that he's guilty of the charges he should resign.
His first chance to make up his mind is this Monday's County Commissioners meeting.
I'll be there, but I have a strong suspicion that Coy will be nowhere in sight.
