Q: SPARTANSBURG, Pa. (AP) — The mayor of a small Pennsylvania town is standing by its volunteer fire company's re-election of a registered sex offender as its fire chief. 
  
 Chief Roger Gilbert Jr. was convicted in 2001 of sexual intercourse with a 4-year-old girl and is listed in the state's Megan's Law database, The (Corry) Journal reported Saturday . Court records show Gilbert is a felon who completed a five- to 10-year sentence for "involuntary deviate sexual intercourse." 
  
 Mayor Ann Louise Wagner says she and firefighters have been aware that Gilbert, an unpaid volunteer with the department since 2010, is a sex offender. He was just elected to his second term. 
  
 "I support the fire department and their decision to have him as chief," Wagner told the Journal. "The firemen have always elected their own officers and that's how it's always been done. We don't question their decisions." 
  
 The victim's mother told the newspaper that she doesn't believe he should be in a job where he could interact with children. 
  
 But Gilbert, now 43, told the Journal he has changed his life for the better since committing the crime in 2000 in the nearby city of Corry. 
  
 "That was 20 years ago," Gilbert said. "You know, the story you are telling kids is once you make mistake, you will be punished for the rest of your life. I've changed my life for the better. Every day I get up and try to do good." 
  
 State police said it is up to each individual community to decide whether to allow sex offenders who have completed their sentences to serve in an office at the local level. 
  
 About 300 people live in Spartansburg, which is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of Erie, Pennsylvania.

 Information from: The Journal, http://www.corrypa.com/journal ||||| A registered sex offender has resigned after being elected to a second term as volunteer fire chief of his small Pennsylvania town. 
  
 Roger L. Gilbert Jr. had been a volunteer fireman in Spartansburg, Crawford County, since 2010, and was recently re-elected as the department's chief. As The Corry Journal pointed out, Gilbert is registered in Pennsylvania's Megan's Law database for a 2001 conviction of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse. 
  
 The victim was a 4-year-old girl, the newspaper reported, and Gilbert served a five- to- 10-year sentence. The victim's mother said Gilbert shouldn't be in a position where he can interact with children. 
  
 Gilbert was re-elected by other volunteer firefighters, not the public at-large, in Spartansburg, about 40 miles southeast of Erie. 
  
 Despite Gilbert's status as a felon, Mayor Ann Louise Wagner originally said she supported the department's decision to have him as chief, saying the town's officials will not interfere with how firemen elect their own officers. 
  
 Gilbert initially told the newspaper that the conviction was a long time ago and that he has changed for the better. 
  
 "You know, the story you are telling kids is once you make mistake, you will be punished for the rest of your life. I've changed my life for the better. Every day I get up and try to do good," he said. 
  
 Around the same time the story of Gilbert's re-election made national news, he stepped down from the post. According to the Associated Press, he quit Sunday, a day after the original report came out about his prior conviction. ||||| Corry, PA (16407)

A:
You'll find the name of Roger Gilbert listed as volunteer fire chief in the small Pennsylvania town of Spartansburg. In fact, the 43-year-old just got re-elected. The problem, though, is that you'll also find his name listed in the state's Megan's Law database for sex offenders, reports the Corry Journal. Back in 2001, Gilbert was convicted of "involuntary deviate sexual intercourse" with a 4-year-old girl and served a 5- to 10-year prison sentence. Gilbert says he's a changed man—"that was 20 years ago"—but his re-election is drawing plenty of attention after the story was picked up nationally by the AP. Spartansburg is about 40 miles southeast of Erie, notes PhillyVoice, which points out that Gilbert was elected twice to his post as chief by his fellow firefighters, not the public. (Only about 300 people live in the town.) "The firemen have always elected their own officers and that's how it's always been done," Mayor Ann Louise Wagner tells the Journal. "We don't question their decisions." (Gilbert might see a change in his passport the next time he renews.)
