Thought this might go nicely with the conversation concerning polygraph use in the employment selection process for law enforcement.   A Virginia state trooper on the job for a little over two months is locked up in a Newport News jail, accused of having sex with two fourteen-year old girls. 25 year-old Juan Carlos Zaragoza was arrested at his home yesterday morning in Fredericksburg. He's charged with three felony counts of illegal carnal knowledge with a fourteen-year old. The alleged incidents occurred before he joined the agency. Zaragoza graduated from the state police basic training session in October and was in the final phases of on  the job training while assigned to the department's Fredericksburg office. He faces up to thirty years in prison if convicted of the charges. Zaragoza has been suspended from his job without pay until the cases are resolved. The full story can be found on dailypress.com, click on  "News" and then "Peninsula."         ***It's important to note that all Virginia state trooper candidates must submit to a polygraph test BEFORE moving on to the background investigation phase in the hiring process.

I would like to see the applicant packet, chart and video of the polygraph before I make judgement. I want to see all the FACTS before I judge. Something went wrong somewhere or he didn't do it. There is no way something like that would have gotten past me.
