Love is a substitute teacher at schools two Illinois school districts. He’s also an assistant minister at Mount Pisgah Baptist Church and has served as a director of a Boys and Girls Club. According to one of the school districts, all substitutes teachers are screened with multiple background checks.

Love’s church is standing behind him as a devoted church goer and community member. Also, Love was honored by the Bloomington Human Relations Commission with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Adult Human Relations Award for his work with mentoring children.
You wonder with all his accolades and the support behind him if he “just” made a really horrible, stupid mistake. Or did he do all this work with children just to get sexual access to them? How very sad.
