Springfield man gets 103-year sentence for sexually abusing children

(Eugene-AP) - A former Boy Scout leader from Lane County was sentenced to 103 years in prison Thursday in Eugene after being convicted of 17 counts of sodomizing boys.

Prosecutors say Steven Jeremy Freeman sexually abused and sodomized ten young boys. He operated a sports card shop in Springfield.

He lived in back, where police say the abuses took place.

Assistant District Attorney Alex Gardner pushed for a long sentence, saying that pedophiles typically do not reform.

The sentences are covered by Measure eleven, which means that they sentence cannot be reduced.

Well, that means he will get his conviction reversed by the Supreme Court! He did it in the privacy of his bedroom!

Because they secretly want to get to children, too.

Too lenient a sentence.

Give him to me.

You can try to contain a virus and hope it never gets loose again, or you can eradicate it. I'm with you on this one :)

I dunno..if they make him serve the full 103 years, that'll make me happy.

Posters on this thread would want to know how old he and his victims were first before making a judgement:

You stake him down and pour the honey on him.

I'm rounding up the fire ants right now.

He was out there recruiting children for the Sodomite crowd (by mollesting them). What the heck is your point? If one of the children was my son, the judge would be considering what to do with me, not this filthy, disease-spreading, child-mollesting stool-packer.

For cripes sake!

I am not defending this man.

I am pointing out that on the other thread, a bunch of freepers are trying to defend releasing a man who was 18 (now 21) who had oral sex with a 14 year old boy. He was sentenced to 17 years but now appears like he will be set free.

I have challenged their reasoning to no avail (others have too).

He was convicted of chil molestation so age would seem to play a role.

That's misleading. The sentence is being tossed out because if he had had sex with a girl he would have served far less time, if any at all.

Meanwhile, the windshield lady got just 60 years for murder (may be paroled in 30)

I have problems with that too. 18 is an adult. An 18 year old would not be tried as a minor for theft, etc.

Penalties should be normed up, not down, for those who would prey on kids.

There are those on this new thread that say they would have gone for it when they were teens:

Day care operator accused of having sex with 14-year-old boy

Age of consent means that the minor is old enough to consent to sex. There are those in FReeperland who don't care and would go lower.
