TChris please do not concern yourself with the details, he's guilty. He should burn at the stake and everyone here agree's. If you don't agree then maybe a good ole' fashioned stake burning is in your future as well. Witches are evil.
Before I even got to your first post I knew he molested a nine year old.
Don't you know that if AP thought it was a "mild" crime, they would have mentioned it? This story was written to make you feel sorry for the sex offender -- I mean, victim, and if the crime wouldn't fit in with that agenda, it would not be mentioned.
And you fell for it, just like AP wanted you to.
And BTW, welcome to FR.
They most certainly are!
