Pedophile pleads guilty to 48 counts gets 2 years

[MrsDL]

Did we talk about this? This guy is likely to be out by September.

B'klyn perv only gets 2 years behind bars after molesting boy for years

Pedophile Andrew Goodman today proudly declared his undying love for the boy he molested for years, as a Brooklyn judge stuck to a sweetheart deal to lock him up for a mere two years.

Standing just feet from his shaking 17-year-old victim, Goodman called the boy "my best friend in the whole world" and insisted "there was no malice involved" even after the boy pleaded with Justice Martin Murphy to undo the deal he gave to "the devil disguised as a human."

"Every second of every day, all that I think about is [you]," the creep said, calling the teen by his first name.

"I love you," he said softly when he turned to the boy, drawing gasps in a packed courtroom.

Goodman, 27, last month accepted the two-year deal from Murphy upon pleading guilty to 48 felonies - or as the victim said, "even more than Jerry Sandusky."

Locked up since June 2010 on charges that he preyed sexually upon the victim and his brother, Goodman could be freed by September.

"I have no doubt he will try to do the same thing to other other children once he gets out," the victim said.

The teen, who dropped out of school after what he called "a torturous four years" of sex abuse from Goodman, then called for a much stiffer sentence for his tormentor.

"The best thing for you and society is if you're locked in a cage away from society - especially children," he said.

"Please, use your position to protect our children," the teen's mom asked the judge.

The red-faced Murphy wasn’t swayed from the two-year sentence -- which he admitted was the minimum Goodman faced -- nor did he offer much insight into it.

"Mr. Goodman, you caused a lot of pain to all the complainants," he said. "Your statement that you made today was ill-advised, to say the least."

Prosecutors had been seeking seven-year sentences for each of the 48 felonies - a punishment that could have landed Goodman a sentence of more than 200 years.

"The defendant cultivated the relationships to violate and sexually abuse these boys," said prosecutor Elizabeth Doerfler. "The abuse was not an isolated incident, but stretched over several years."

The victim said Goodman began grooming him seven years ago to be a sex-abuse target by showering him with gifts that included Rollerblades, a Playstation and restaurant meals.

"He began telling me he loved me," the teen said. "He slowly built up my trust and then began to alienate me from my family.

"Eventually, I began to trust him more than my own parents."

His hands shaking and his words dripping with disgust, the teen then tore into Goodman.

"Andrew Goodman, you are the devil disguised as a human," he said. "I trusted you with my life and you betrayed that trust."

The pervert turned him against his family, the victim said, and against his Orthodox Jewish faith.

"You are the worst thing that ever happened to me," he said. "A person that really loves me wouldn't take advantage of an innocent young child."

Community members had filmed Goodman, the adopted son of a Jewish family, sneaking 11 underage boys in and out of his 15th Street home during pre-dawn hours.

My sentiments exactly.

[hawkeye]

Are you fucking serious?

So this judge has a soft spot for pedophiles. Awesome.

[pixy0stix]

WTFuckity fuck?!

[darnkatz]

This makes me want to throw up. And it was one of my worst fears when I thought of calling the police on the man who assaulted me. It was actually one of the biggest reasons why I never did.

[One Girl In All The World]

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I've not yet read the whole article but wtmff.

[copzgirl1171]

The pedo said vile things to the victim IN FUCKING COURT?

Any insight into the judge's rationale here? Any at all?

He made a statement in the case that he accepted the deal to protect the victims (WTF) from having to testify, even though they (the victims) begged him to reconsider in court stating they wanted to testify. He has been unavailable for comment since - surprise surprise.

[onomatopoeia]

WTF? What was this judge thinking? Was there a sentencing technicality? A secret plea deal? WTF?

As a mom (hell, as a human being), I'd like to think I have allies in the fight to keep my kids protected and safe from evil. That I can count on rational adults, members of my community, and the judicial system to be by my side, and stand up for all children. Try as I might, I can't be there 24 hour a day. Cases like this, like Penn State, etc, honestly make me feel...I don't know...alone?

The victim sounds very strong. I hope he can get through this.

The closest I can find with a quick Google search is in the NY Post (I know, I know), which said that this judge had a "history of dispensing bizarrely lenient sentences." It also says the judge spent twenty years working for the Legal Aid Society, which I assume is Post-code for "he's biased in favor of criminal defendants."

[copzgirl1171]

There has to be some recourse. This is ridiculous, in fact I question the judges
1. sanity or
2. his possible relationship to this pedo

[marie427]

WTF?? That was the MINIMUM sentence??

Given the asshole's behavior in court, he will never change.

Wow, did this ever give me horrible flashbacks.

I will never forget my hearing with the man who (repeatedly) sexually abused me. I had agreed to the plea bargain, which apparently I misunderstood to include strong consequences for violations and a rigorous treatment program (I know... I was young and stupid).

First, the court screwed up the time and had the hearing an hour early. We showed up and were told that the case could just be thrown out because we were late. Nobody told us the time change. They called the judge back and allowed the hearing to happen at the time we were told, but in the mean time the jackass, who was not cuffed or escorted in any way, was able to walk right up to my dad and say hello. How my did didn't murder him right then I will never understand. He also winked at me in the courtroom, which everybody saw.

The deal didn't deviate in court, but he *escaped,* left the state, and had contact with a minor. They didn't tell me this until after they caught him and invited me to the hearing. And the consequences were nothing at all like I understood. He didn't even serve one year in prison, even after that, and never registered as a sex offender. I have no idea where he is now, or what he has done since he got out.

The system sucks.

Uuugh. That is so enraging. I'm so sorry- both that it happened and that justice wasn't served.

I'm so sorry you had to go through this. And in a situation like this, I wouldn't blame someone for shooting this guy dead, deader than dead.

AHHHHHH what is from with this Friday!!!!!!!

Omg.

"the adopted son of a Jewish family"

What was the purpose of including this information?

I wonder if the judge would have given a longer sentence to someone who raped one of his family members. Two years is outrageous.

To show they are less of a person. See sandusky's son, who was allegedly abused, who is also adopted. /sarcasm and anger over this differentiation

[emilyj]

I just...what? What the ever loving fuck is about all I can come up with.

How can a judge listen to the victim plead for a harsher sentence and give this monster two years?

There has to be an appeal process. Please tell me there's an appeal process.

Only defendants get to appeal. You can appeal a harsh sentence you've been given but a victim has no right or ability to appeal a lenient sentence.

so basically the judge just sentenced some other poor kid out in the world to being molested.

unbelievable.

Pretty much. And until he offends again (and he will), there is nothing this family can do.

2 years is still long enough for him to get raped into the next century in prison, so there IS hope.

But he's getting credit for time served so he'll be out in September.
