For more than a week, the national spotlight has focused on this 10,000-person community as details of the alleged prostitution scandal, the trepidation over the release of client names, and the anticipated fallout has been all-consuming. Plastered on every news channel this week, and with media crews stationed along Main Street, the case has been hard to escape. It's been the topic of conversation everywhere from the gym, to the coffee shop, to the lines in the grocery store, to church.
"The national coverage has been more than disappointing, considering there are many more stories that should consume the airwaves. The only reason this has even appeared in the national arena is because it is a small town in Maine. This happens in many places, sadly, and is handled within that community," said Kennebunk resident Sheryl Burns. "The tragedy of this entire situation is the children and spouses of the accused. If we can do one thing to show the world what we are all about as a community, it would be in my opinion, we remain vigilant in protecting the families and our town as a whole from this fiasco. After all, a small community should stand up for their own. If we don't, the national media will eat us alive.
