This felon will spend no time analyzing his actions. He will fantasize about getting out and repeating his actions on another young child. You see, it has been recognized that you cannot "rehabilitate" a pedophile. Hood's office rarely prosecutes this kind of case, and usually its because a DA had to recuse out of it.

Why are these individuals so often given lesser sentences than those convicted of drug crimes?

Guess this guy was not lucky enough to be considered by Hood to be "like a family member". Not enough bucks then you are out of luck. Remember this state is one of the top rated states for corruption. On Hood's watch.

for this crime, the max is only 15 years, but he has serve the ten years day for day. the legislature needs to raise the max on this crime.

So this is the type crime that our AG considers to be appropriate for his 'public integrity' division. Hell, I didn't even know he had such a division based on his history of non-action in the area.

On second thought - probably a good use of those folks, putting a scumbag like in prison, since Hood won't turn them loose to prosecute any of his 'buddies' or 'family'.

Not sure he would be classified as what we think of as a pedophile. He claimed she said she was fifteen and initiated the activity. A pedophile, by definition, has sexual desires for underage children, typically of the same sex.

More than likely he is just another bonehead idiot who reasoned with the wrong head.

@12:22 - there is absolutely NO TRUTH to the MYTH that pedophiles cannot be rehabilitated. Further, the type of offense and the degree to which a pedophile offends is a varied as the hairs on your head. In other words, there is no "one size fits all" pedophile. There is a miniscule number that are truly dangerous, deranged people. For that MINISUCLE number of people, institutionalization is the best approach. ALL THE REST are "almost" normal people who act inappropriately for myriad reasons....ALL OF WHICH can be resolved (permanently) with proper counseling. Furthermore, ALL of these offenders are, at the time of their offenses, MENTALLY ILL. In THIS country, we are SUPPOSED to have compassion for mentally ill people and we are SUPPOSED to be committed to HELPING them. WHY is it SO much easier to accept that mental illness can cause someone to MURDER and therefore not criminalize them for their actions but, when it comes to a man exposing himself to a teenager, we slam our hands over our ears and REFUSE to hear that he is (a) mentally ill and (b) CAN be cured???

A sick child molester gets 10 years. Bernie Ebbers got life...

"ALL OF WHICH can be resolved (permanently) with proper counseling."

The phrase "ALL OF WHICH" tips us off that you are lying. Nothing is absolute [except the phrase I just used - y'all paying attention there? :-)]

Even if you said "most of which" or "some" you'd still be lying, and study after study shows the recidivism rate is almost 100% for these sick, twisted freaks. My dog thinks it is "natural" to s**t on the carpet, but has learned that if she wants to live in our house she had better control her behavior, and she does. Maybe my dog is just smarter than you (or those for whom you make excuses).

So, they're normal until the point at which they act out and at THAT point, they're temporarily mentally ill, and worthy of our sympathy. And at that point they deserve the protection, just for the moment, of some disability law.

You sat in a damned classroom far too long.
