Not really. There's only one reason that I can think of why the judge would go light on him.....
So metmom, does this mean that YOU think this is somehow the Catholic Church's fault?
I only ask because your name figures prominently on the ping lists of bigots who do.
What I meant is that the only reason the guy would go light on someone engaged in pedophilia is because he engages in it himself and identifies with the perps.
He is forced by the rule of law to do SOMETHING, so makes a feeble token attempt to enforcing the law because he has to. I don’t see that that it the fault of anyone but him.
