Hold on.
50 years for recording kids?
But you got actual child rapists who happen to be religious or politicians... who get like 5-10 years?
What is the difference here?
Presumably the number of victims.
Hundreds of thousands of photos and videos of child pornography is why he got 50 years.
So to repeat back: religious person molest kids for years, with both physical and mental them... will get a few years of prison?
God died for his sin that's why he got less jail time
Religion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Videos are there. You can point to it and say "here". Victim memories are often multiple years of not decades ago. It sucks, it really does but physical tangible evidence is very hard to argue against vs someone 30 years old talking about what happened when they were 11.
Besides, the church has the resources unlike this guy.
Don't worry junkie child molesters get out in 5-10 years too. At least that one isn't based on class.
Seems like typical behavior for a guy named “erection”.
Erik Chen. Name checks out.
Still not a drag queen.
This guy looks like a cartoon network character
Don't ever trust a man with a soul patch
The right decision was made here.
