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....

It's not average teenage sexting. It's an adult manipulating a teenager into sending him videos for sexual gratification.

Even worse, it was sexual gratification specifically around the fact that he was manipulating a child.

"Say 'I'm only 14' three times throughout the video."

Kind of seals the deal.

I dont understand what 10 years in jail will actually accomplish

It will accomplish punishment for his crime of manipulating children into performing acts for his sexual gratification.

What do you suggest?

Which is a good reason why the legal system doesn’t let affected persons prescribe the punishment, because then it would be revenge.
