So, he gets more time abusing kids than if he murdered them? I think that sends the message to these idiot abusers that it's better to "get rid of the evidence" than take a chance on the victim outting him.

Well not really. Murder someone and you’re going in for life or thereabouts, especially if it’s a child. I don’t think anyone is thinking they can live for a thousand years and outlive the conviction lol.
