But a judge cited his longtime ministry and the support he still receives as mitigating factors after more than 30 people showed up to support Richards at the sentencing last week.

What kind of idiotic reason is THAT to reduce his sentence? The fact that he was able to lie to people for a longtime? That he found 30 idiots to support him? What does this judge use for brains besides shit?
Perhaps the judge was not so convinced of his guilt as was the Jury?
The article doesn't say much about what evidence swayed the Jury that he was guilty. No DNA puts a lot of doubt in my mind. If things were as this girl claimed, it would seem they would have plenty of DNA.
The Bible talks about preachers who appeal to people’s “itching ears”.
We have women seducing and screwing minors and the judges free them because the women say they didn’t realize the kid was under 18, when they did know and just lied about it. this happened couple weeks ago, in the uk.
Female teachers get no time for fuching male students, they just lose their license.
