    Seems a bit low considering what civilians get for such crimes.

    Also, I am amazed at their desire to keep these libraries of felony charges. Does not speak well to their mental capacity. Maybe they should not be allowed back out since it seems they can’t control their “impulses”

    But at least he got charged… Catholic church been running pedo protection ring for at least centuries and nobody really ever got in trouble.

        No doubt some judge gets crotchety once in a while and deals out a long sentence, but what you’re saying — “sentences for CP are usually relatively light in general” — matches what I’ve seen.

        There’ve been, to my knowledge, two convicted pervs on the periphery of my life. One was a kiddie porn guy, who served a few years in prison and then got out, and we ended up employed by the same company. The other was an actual “lure a kid into a van” creep, who served a few years in prison and then got out, and sang in his church choir.

        The legend of long sentences for perving on kids seems exaggerated.
