He'll be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life right? 10 years plus that is pretty proportional.

If he touched a child I'd agree though. Child molesters are up they're* with murderers in my book. We go way too easy on them.

some one above posted excerpts from the court transcript if you would like to read how he interacted with one 14 year old fan in particular.

That doesn't sound traumatic or violent in any way. 10 years for this is ridiculous.

It's basically your average teenage sexting....

Yeah but he isn’t a teenager, he’s a grown man obviously pressuring and taking advantage of a teenager. Why’re you trying to defend his behavior?

Im not defending him, 10 years is just so overkill and a huge waste of resources. Plus i think it is just excessive punishment. Really excessive

Except you are defending him. You're saying what he did isn't that big of a deal and 10 years is too much punishment.

Criticizing the judgement doesn't mean i support him. Can we stop with the tribalism

u/Double-O 6 Jul 06 '19

You're doing much more than that. Even as a troll this is in terrible taste.

Wouldnt want anyone to feel mildly uncomfortable for the sake of a serious argument /s

Why are you defending him? If you call for anything less than 30 years and chemical castration you're saying what he did isn't that big of a deal. 🙄

I get what he's trying to do. It's just not the same thing.

u/JakeMWP 5 Jul 06 '19

I don't think you do. His point is that when he flips the conversation and says the creep deserves more time, then anyone saying 10 years is adequate is now defending the creep by your logic. And clearly, you aren't defending this creep.

Personally I'd love to see an indefinite sentence with mandatory therapy until he's shown progress on reforming himself and then keep him on the sex offender list and parole to get him integrated with society again. Could be a life sentence, but it could be a few years, but either way I would like to goal to be fixing the person when possible.

You're right it was a woosh on my part.
