When the news first broke here in Hancock (Hancock Point being the original parental summer compound)- well, the "talk" around the elite summer folk was that the material belonged to his developmentally disabled son. Can you imagine a world view so warped that thinking he was taking a noble fall for his disabled son made more sense than that the man himself had a horrible secret? I also appreciated your extensive dive into the two governor races- laying out all of all that awfulness (Lepage rein affects Maine adversely to this day) added to the outrage. Great Article. Seriously belongs in Rollingstone or some such place to read by millions. Good work.

Ugh. I hope the elite summer folk of Hancock Point have come to their senses. Thanks for reading...

Sickening. Amazed another felon in prison didn't end his life..assuming word got out as to why he was imprisoned. The April, 2023 Plea Agreement almost sanitizes just how sick Cutler's prurient deviations were and even the prosecutor says as much at page 13 of the Agreement and Sentencing Memorandum.."[t]rying to describe these videos in the Sentencing Memorandum completely sanitizes the [child sexual abuse] acts." Now, given all of the privileges afforded Cutler during his prosecution and sentence, one is left wondering to what extent Probation & Parole will actually and fully execute its responsibilities over him over the next 6 years. Will they, for example, truly conduct unannounced and random visits to his residence and of any electronic devices contained within, etc. One is also left to wonder why his wife Melanie hasn't divorced him given the extent of Cutler's heinous sexual proclivities under her roof.

I agree, Erik, and I'm also curious to how Cutler is treated during his probation period. And I too wonder about how his wife (and kids) are dealing with the aftermath of his exposure.
