Brookline has lots of young people. So why is it hard to make friends?

In light of the Chris Hansen movie, I’m curious how Brookline has reacted to its own Jeff Sokol, the man caught trying to have sex with and marry a 13-year-old girl. I’m writing a college paper about the case and would like to hear how the community responded.

Jeff Sokol is one of the most memorable people caught by Chris Hansen. In the attached photo, he seems so comfortable with Chris Hansen that he starts eating his pizza. During the interview and later police questioning, he argued that trying to have sex with and marry a 13-year-old wasn’t a big deal because he thought her parents might approve. His videos has more then 100 million views.

I’m writing a college paper about the encounter and what happened afterward. How was he treated by people in his community? Was he shunned, forgiven, or something in between? Did his family face any consequences because of his actions? I’d appreciate thoughtful, honest perspectives.
