After being charged with multiple sexual assaults of a teen girl,
David Knoble, 48, a church music director in Reedsburg, shot himself
Dec. 30. Partly due to the public nature of the case and his suicide, it
will continue to affect the family and church members involved as well
as the community for some time to come.
Unfortunately, child sexual abuse in our country and our community is all too common, despite often being hidden and unknown. According to Darkness to Light (www.d2l.org), a national organization working to end child sexual abuse, about 1 in 10 girls and boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday, and more than 90 percent are abused by someone they know.
