Like they say... only two things can truly kill a political career. Getting caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

Its terrible when people that seek and attain the trust of their community, turn out to be not worthy of that trust and even worse when they are exposed as Monsters like Gil.

And if Gill had just waited until the boy was 16 there'd be no issue since age of consent is 16 in Rhode Island.

I think that people need to mind their own business exspecially when they don't know what they are talking about.

People need to be considerate that he has a family just any other person. And Strongly aggree that people need to mind their business, consider him a father,son or brother .

"People need to be considerate he has a family" Just how respectful and considerate was Mr. Gil of his family? The public outrage and all that comes with it needs to be owned by Mr. Gil. He obviously has a serious problem and apparently so does the so called victim. The reality of the situation is Mr. Gil is older and knows better on all fronts including the fact that he has now exposed his entire family to this shameful public display of his problem. I feel bad for his family, friends and supporters. While I don't condone trials in the media, one would hope that the court case will bring about some path by which Mr. Gil can find a way back to being there for his family in the future in a responsible role.

Never mind his family - what about everyone else's family. This perv was a soccor coach interacting with young kids - maybe YOUR son, daughter, nephew.. - all the time. How can he deny it? He was literally caught with his pants down.

Right! People should mind their business and let an elected official who is also a soccer coach break the law. I AM thinking of the families - the families of the kids he 'coaches' and has access to while he obviously cannot be trusted. Consider him a father, son or brother? What about the son or brother he was molesting?

im not really sure if this is fact...my family knows him and his family and we've been knowing him for a while now...my mom told me today that a friend from work told her that his son plays on gil's soccer team. he told my mom that sometimes the soccer players would change in his car. so were they just changing or did something really happen? im not really sure.....my parents wont believe it until he is proven guilty. im not really sure what to believe but everything can just be a coincidence and they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. i know him and his family and i dont think he is the type of person that would do this type of thing. he has childrens himself and i dont think that he would like it if someone did this to his son or daughter. in other words, Gil is innocent until proven guilty.

Once again a married guy turns out to be a closet case gay male. I'm a masculine gay male that chose responsibly not to get married. I have struggled with my sexuality for years. Mr Gil obviously felt the pressure of society to get married and have children. We all know this wasn't his first time. In this case he was unlucky and got caught.
The heterosexual society would be amazed at the millions of married males on craigs list, at health clubs, at rest areas, and video stores seeking to quench their true sexual desires. I feel sorry for the millions of wives that don't have a clue to what their husbands are doing not to mention the threat of possible sexual diseases that their husbands expose them to.
I really feel for his children. Their the ones that will really suffer.

Whoa!!! This guy is a real screw ball!! So are the people who are on here saying that 'people should mind their own business!!" I believe that this guy made it public business when he decided to put himself in that position!! He was after all, parked on a public street. I'm not one to pass judgement. But, I will make an observation. This guy is in definate denial. What his wife and family choose to do with him is their own personal decision. However, the young boy's parents can take action to get this kid some help... Not about his sexual identity, rather being responsible sexually and socially. His behaviors are both unsafe and unacceptable regardless of his sexual orientation. Plus, they need to follow up legally with this situation. Regardless of his (GIL) sexual prefference, he shouldn't be going after a minor. Thats the real problem. Not his sexual interest.

i believe that he is guilty no matter wat the kid was there and the police caught him afta. the mans pants were off. no excuse. soccer team coaches dont change in the car wit another child dats absured. yes i feel bad for the children of hid but he should of known what was coming once he approached the trial. People this ould happen in your community dont let this man come around your childen HES A SOOCER COACH damn it. he could of done it with other boys but he just got caught with this boy

so mental note parent becareful and juss watch were ur chilren are goin and becareful once the confont this man cause i guess he not goin afta ur daughter but your son.

and hope the boy is safe and
he as all the right to get help
and feel ok.
