Pedophile pleads guilty to 48 counts gets 2 years

[Deleted]

We definitely need a better alternative to sex crimes like these. Unlike other crimes, prison is usually just a pause in proceedings for the pedo, so that is next to useless, although better than nothing. As yet its not curable. Castration repulses me, but it is like the only option. Fuck knows.

This situation is terrible.

I don't know how that judge sleeps at night. Honestly - hearing the pedophile say those words, looking at his terrified victim, and then sentencing him to two years. Where's the justice in that?

[emisi]

I hope someone's looking into the judge. Sounds like an awfully sympathetic response, if you know what I mean.

"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.

I think the story said that the pedo turned his victim against his family and Jewish faith. That was probably to show that common thread from the victim to the perp. I'm hesitant to give the NYPost the benefit of the doubt, but I don't think there's hidden meaning there.

Yet one more reason why plea bargains shouldn't be allowed.

The prosecution obviously offered this, though. What is baffling to me is that if the victims didn't seem to have any input into the prosecution's decision on it. It starts with the prosecution. The judge didn't have to accept it, though.

It's sickening. I watched a pedo who raped his granddaughter get sentenced to probation. He was pretty old. His daughter was at the sentencing (it was not her daughter that was raped). She was also raped by him as a child. The child's father didn't want the child to have to testify against her grandfather. Since there was no record of him doing it to anyone else, it made him a first time offender. The defense made a sweet deal. That day, by far, was the worst day I ever spent in that courtroom. I was sick to my stomach watching that man walk out a free man.

I don't get how this happened. Can the prosecution appeal the sentence? This is awful.

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.

I totally agree. Those poor victims I can't imagine being brave enough to come forward, testify, then basically be given the middle finger by the judge.
Makes me sick

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

That's what I thought too. I immediately said to myself is this guy his brother for crissake???

I agree here. There has to be something between this bullshit sentence and castration although honestly is all else fails castration it is, as far as I'm concerned.
Most peds I hear about in news stories etc deny it and stuff. This guy was professing his love for the boys and shit right out in the open. Doesn't sound like a guy for whom any "rehabilitation" programs would work
The day after he is released he will beon the hunt

I would have no problem with the parents paying someone to kill that motherfucker in prison. Absolutely none.

Child molestors/rapists always make me feel murderous. I was never any good working with abusers. I once had to do an IEP with a father present and the girl had recently disclosed to us that he sexually abused her for years. We had just called CPS days before but I don't know where they were in the process. He had been invited to the IEP before the accusation.

As soon as I realized who he was I felt my blood boiling. He offered his hand as the principal introduced him and I could've choked him.

Wouldn't the prosecution have agreed to it in the first place? I thought that was how it worked.

I really don't understand how this could happen.
