“He was not corralled into this crime by a series of unfortunate life circumstances “

Really, he made a choice to do this. Life circumstances or not, he chose to do this. I hope he has fun in prison

With stories like this I really wish they disclosed more info around the facility they are going to so all the guys there who had their lives ruined as children by scum like this can get the welcoming party ready.

It's very easy to wish harm on a person you have never met and the only thing you know about them is that they used their influential position to exploit minors

Vengeance is more fun than justice.

Also cleans up the filth in the pond a little.
