How long did the taxpayers have to feed this POS?........................
He was there for 3 years of his 8 year sentence.
Your answer: decades. The old perv was finally convicted and sent to prison in 2013, but he was on the state payroll for years as the senior psychiatrist at a California youth facility. Then, after he was accused of molesting boys sent to him for evaluation, he did everything he could to avoid the slammer, even faking dementia at one point. His first trial apparently ended in a hung jury, so it took almost eight years to bring him to justice.
The San Francisco Chronicle has a lengthy file on Dr. Ayers: http://www.sfgate.com/search/?action=search&channel=crime&inlineLink=1&searchindex=gsa&query=%22William+Ayres%22
And to think he was once head of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Speaks volumes about that organization.
