Minnesota

It sounded like a family abuse situation.


I really don't care whether he is deported or not, but I don't like the idea of giving a pardon to anyone who did that to a child. It is even more infuriating that he never served any time, but what is done is done. Possibly it was part of the plea deal because getting victim testimony in those cases is difficult.

In context a teacher who did that to an under 13 or so just got 33 years. Maybe too harsh but it sure beats no time at all.

A woman who is significant in my life went through that hell as a 2nd grader. She has never been the person she could have been because of it, and the damage lingers 50 years later. F___k any abuser.
