The abuse of children needs to stop. We need to understand it.

But having just gone through the court process–there is great fault in how the evidence is collected. In our case it was false evidence–the judge may have been placed in a position that had the perp not confessed he may have had to release the man because of prosecutorial or police misconduct.

I am appalled that any child is hurt but there may be some underlying situation in the legal case that bound the hands of the judge. At least he got time and perhaps this will give the state an opportunity to figure out what makes this guy tick so we can prevent the next jerk from offending.

Surely someone could step in and ask for a retrial somehow? I can’t believe the sentence can’t be changed.

Well worth remembering. Thanks Amy!!

Yes. the world is an insane place when it comes to justice for girls and women. It starts out as latent cancer with Letterman’s vile comments, then it metastasizes in our society and this video is the result…

Insanity? check out the Globe & Mail “Man’s Sleep-Defence a Waking nightmare for Woman attacked”.
A woman was viciously raped in Ontario and they brought in an unscrupulous defence-type shrink, Colin Shapiro, who testified that the rapist has a disease called “SEXSOMNIA”. The jerk-Judge let this pervert go out free with this stupid defence. Then the victim brought it before a woman judge who questioned the ‘expertise’ of the defence shrink and recommended jerk rapist appear before a Board Interview committee to make sure he’s no threat to society! Meantime, girl is suffering from tauma and doesn’t think she’ll get her life back. But she was persistent and courageous enough to pursue this and get the judge to force jerk to appear before Board with argument of controlling his behaviour of “sleepsomnia”….amazing!
Thanks for this eyeopening vid….

They clearly suffer from extremely poor parenting if this man was allowed by their own mother to babysit (according to the panel discussion she did, if its true – wow).

Then the legal system fails to reach a reasonable verdict, using the often horrible plea bargain method. Its just terrible.

I am a libertarian but this reads like an advertisement for parental licensing (and not allowing plea bargaining by courts).

You need a license to fish ffs, but every idiot breeds.

As for children testifying in FRONT of their abusers, no, they often do it behind closed doors. I would think that would especially be the case for a 4 yr old…It was cruel, to put it mildly, to put that child through that, if not criminal itself – it furthered the abuse she had already suffered.

Again, the man CONFESSED. He admitted it!! And his repeat rapes and sodomizing got him one stinking year.

That judge should be thrown off the bench (and there seems to be a move afoot among legal pros to do just that), and the DA should be fied. IMHO, that is.
