Why are you worried about all those details? Just tie them to a stake and set them ablaze. Or better yet maybe there ought to be gas chambers. Don't know what he did? Trust your local Judiciary to tell you what he did.

Oh thats right there are lots of people in jail that probably shouldn't be there. So what'd he do anyway? Did he have sex with a 17 yr old?

Well, if the guy was 20 and was convicted of statutory rape for consensual sex with a 17-year-old, I think the treatment was way too harsh. I think "those details" could make a huge difference. We just don't know.

The fact that he took his own life over the incessant hounding leads me to think maybe he wasn't necessarily a monsterous baby-raper, as so many here are presuming him to have been. I'm not trying to minimize or excuse his crimes, what ever those were, in any way, but there's a wide range of possible illegal sexual activities that would land a guy in jail. Some are far worse than others. We just don't know.
