Pro-life Sen. Josh Hawley expressed alarm Wednesday about U.S. Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson’s “soft” record on child sex offenders amid growing concerns about protecting children from abuse.
Jackson, President Joe Biden’s nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, also has a pro-abortion record that includes working with abortion activists on a case about suppressing pro-life advocates’ free speech.
Her record on unborn babies’ rights has pro-life advocates opposing her nomination. Now, Hawley’s findings are raising additional concerns about other vulnerable children.
“Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker,” the Missouri Republican wrote on Twitter.
“This is a disturbing record for any judge, but especially one nominated to the highest court in the land,” Hawley continued. “Protecting the most vulnerable shouldn’t be up for debate. Sending child predators to jail shouldn’t be controversial.”
A lawyer, Hawley said he recently began researching Jackson’s legal record and was disturbed to notice “an alarming pattern when it comes to Judge Jackson’s treatment of sex offenders, especially those preying on children.”
“In every single child porn case for which we can find records, Judge Jackson deviated from the federal sentencing guidelines in favor of child porn offenders,” Hawley said.
He cited several examples, including a case where a criminal possessed thousands of images of child pornography and wanted to travel across state lines to abuse a 9-year-old girl. The senator said guidelines call for a sentence of 97 to 121 months, but Jackson sentenced the criminal to only 57 months.
In another case, Jackson gave a lesser sentence to a man who distributed more than 100 child pornography videos and sent lewd images to his own 10-year-old daughter, he continued.

Slowly, but surely, she can be destroyed.
Still a shoo-in.
Always thus for Fellow Travelers, regardless of the crime.
It really does not matter, since I can think of at least 6 Republicrat senators that will probably vote for her.
She will still be on the supreme court for life.
She’s a Supreme Train Wreck!
And ACB will be happy to work with her. The stench from the bench…
Nope. Race card trumps all here. She will be confirmed.
Buy-DUNG’s nominees and appointees have been a Whitman’s Sampler of perversions.
She fits right in with the crunchy frog.
No wonder Judge Jackson is a favorite of the Biden Cartel!
Why does this not surprise me?
Can these perps survive reduced sentences?
Biden’s SCOTUS nominee - decriminalize pedophilia.
