Pfizer sales executive arrested

Police in West Little Rock, Arkansas, has arrested 37-year old Darry Hardy who's a district manager for Pfizer Inc.

The police report accuses Mr. Hardy of attempting to rape and sexually solicit two young girls, ages six and nine. Hardy is charged with one count of attempted rape and one count of sexual solicitation of a minor.

One of the alleged incident happened inside the Hardy home in their Chenal Valley neighborhood. Reports go on to say another incident happened in Hardy's mini-van.

Hardy is out on bond and will be back in court on November 27th and the arrest was first reported by THV-KTHV.

This incident has sparked an outpouring of both support and condemnations by Hardy's Pfizer coworkers, who have posted several threads on CafePharma, which have been viewed a record 10,000 times, and created 300 responses.

CafePharma initially removed the postings, then reinstated them, after it became clear that the information had been reported in the press.

One of the posts stated:

I have known this man since elementary school. He was my boyfriend during Highschool. He has never harmed anyone nor brought malice to anyone. I know his family and his siblings. There never could be a finer person. It does only take statements to accuse someone of this crime. NOT EVIDENCE @ this point. How foolish the mouth can be. So quick to accuse another.

I have not seen this man for over ten years since our last reunion. He is still the kind, soft spoken man he is know. I do not know why or how he was set up, but I do know he would never do something like this.

I pray for him & his family that they have strength to get through this. I pray that he not have fair-weathered friends that don't trust him when he needs them the most. I pray for all those involved.

I hope Darry does not loose faith, hope over this. The truth will come out eventually. If Darry reads this ... I have knowon you and your family for a long time. I will pray for you, your wife and children and know that someone does believe in your character.

Another post was not so sure:

Innocent until proven guilty is a noble concept. But would you let him babysit your kids in the meantime.

If he's innocent, I hope he's completely exonerated. If not...

Have his own children been examined?
There is never just 1 child. This man is clearly a pedophile. Have his sister(s )been questioned? What about his parents? What about his relationship with his parents? He was probably molested as well. His personality is probably most like the original molester...the 1 in his family who molested him. Take note America. Pedophile lurk in your families. They are the ones you least suspect. This is not the first one from MS, KA, or DSU. They are everywhere. They aren't the ones who snatch your kids off the street....they are in your families, at your holiday tables....beware...check your children...and keep Darry in jail. He wouldn't be there if they didn't have evidence....so watch what you stay...you look very stupid and are giving pfizer a very bad name along with your friend, darry....

furthermore....what about the children he molested? Is no one concerned that they are the first of 2 that have come forward. There will be more...many, many more.... they should be of your concern.
He should burn in hell for what he's done.
There should be no mercy for these sick bastards that do this.

What if he isn't guilty? His life is ruined. What if he is guilty? These children's lives are ruined.

Most of the posts I've seen are so concerned with him, what about these children? Children at this age don't have the knowledge to make these types of accusations. Either the idea was planted in their head or they were taken advantage of.

Were these girls from the same family or 2 seperate families? An answer to this question wouldn't prove innocent but would speak volumes toward guilt.

What really scares me is I do know him and would have trusted him and now I question leaving my children with anyone. This is such a sad situtation.
