Another happy ending. 5 years probation. :clap:

I think one of the main reasons child molesting is on the rise is when these guys get caught and prosecuted they get to stay in protective custody; away from the rest of the prison populace. This guy won't have that opportunity.

I've seen that before - it's great. Except for the dumbass cop yelling "WHY?" over and over. Why? Really? :shake:

do you really need to ask Why?

Morons....

Don't you angry Republicans think he could have possibly been rehabilitated?

I like swift justice. They used to take guys out and hang them on the square. That will make you think twice about breaking the law.

Awesome end result. Hopefully girl recovers without trauma.

/obilagatory was it dane?

Is this true? That's BS.

And props to this dad, IF ever caught anyone hurting my daughter or my son, I would destroy their lives...

I have zero mercy or tolerance for shit like this...

yes, at least in some prisons. I've seen in on Lockup or one of those shows. I think that's BS, let the inmates go at them and follow their prison code, at least there is some honor there.

Temporary insanity. Done deal.

When I saw this, I thought of GoFraud....

He would be just the type of person to rape a 4 year old girl...

Is this a joke?:spock:

I'm not at all certain what the reported rate trend is, but I really do doubt that child molesting is on the rise. What would be far more likely is that over the last 20 years or so, especially, people have come to se eit as the horrible crime it is and to report it. How many people knew and covered up for the priests that were molesting kids back in the 60s, 70s and 80s? How many covered up for family members out of shame?

Separate from reported rates is media coverage of the same. Because of the new age we live in, news is really national/international in scope much moreso than it was even 30 years ago. Back then national news was whatever was on the 30 minutes of the nightly news with Cronkite, etc. Otherwise, news was predominantly LOCAL.

Now, if some pedophile issue rears its head in Seattle, then it's going to be nationwide news within days, and talked about for days, until it's resolved, and people from Michigan to Maine will be more conscious about, and a little more nervous, as a result of an issue that really isn't going on anywhere near them (at least nto that specific issue).

The combination of increased reporting of incidents, plus changes in media/perception, make people feel less safe in a US that is increasingly safer. Violent crimes are dramatically DOWN over the last 30 years or so, but people don't really feel safer because a mass murderer 2,500 miles away gets much more extensive coverage now than it did then.

I think the main reason Child Molesting is on the rise is because of the exposure to porn thanks to the Internet. Kind of like drugs, some people keep looking for more and more explicit material to get off to. For some, it's kiddie porn. Next thing ya know, just looking at it isn't good enough anymore.
