    So what are you arguing? That they are reporting this stuff more even if it makes the public education system look bad?

    When the media tries to instill fear in people, as history indicates it, is because they want to accomplish something that scares people less. The only thing that comes to mind is that whole implant chips in kids to know where they are at all times. If that's true then it's all about the money in the end. The general media in itself is an ad (they advertise the news), and like every ad it can be bought.

    I don't see it happening.

    I've been reading this board for ten years. If that isn't the dumbest thing I've ever read here, it's at the top of a very short list.

    It seems to me that people are just having a strong reaction to the perversion of his sexual proclivities, not the degree of violation of the children. Kids being tricked (not forced) to drink semen is the worst of it, and it's being administered with a spoon, not his dick. Other than that there doesn't seem to be any indication of sexual contact, no one seeing him naked, him not seeing anyone else naked, much less touching or penetration or anything like that. The kids thought it was a game.

    So, yeah the the guy is a sick b*stard, and the eating semen thing in particular is bad, and you can give him some extra punishment for there being so many children. But, I'd take this over an actual forcible rape and we don't give anyone the death penalty for forcible rape. I don't know, was anyone demanding we execute Jerry Sandusky for the anal rape of a bunch of young boys? Because if it's my son, I'd rather a guy just tape his mouth and put a big cockroach on his face and feed him semen on a spoon than to have him bend my son over in the shower.

    This wasn't an either or situation. You don't look at a crime and think "Well, he didn't blow up a building full of nuns, so I guess it wasn't THAT bad". He made little children drink semen. That sick piece of crap is an animal and deserves the maximum amount of punishment. Also not to confuse the issue to which you responded, nobody got on you for saying he shouldn't be put to death. You said he should get "a couple of years" for what he did. Seriously?

    That's a really weird take to have about this particular story.

    Don't believe in the death penalty, but this nutjob should be put away for a very long time. The mental scarring he brought onto these children will be difficult for them to overcome.

    What is the definition of sexual molestation?

    If instead of semen, he fed urine or feces to the children, is it still considered sexual molestation?

    I must not be reading the same article as everybody else. If instead of being turned in by a photo developer he just died of a heart attack, most of these kids probably wouldn't know they were exploited at all. They thought it was a game and didn't realize this was something perverted that they should report. Years later they might have remembered him and thought, 'that guy was kinda messed up really.' But not much scarring.

    Now that he's arrested and they have police interviewing these kids and they might have to testify in court, they won't be able to avoid learning in the present that they were exploited by a perv, so yeah some scarring.

    Still, and to respond to QAA at the same time, in the universe of crimes of sexual exploitation of children, this is tame. For the child, this isn't as bad as being penetrated (which is most cases by itself), sodomized, and/or having your sexual assault recorded and posted to the internet. So, within the range of punishments a judge can hand out for sexual assault of a child, he should get the lighter end. The only thing to make it heavy is when you multiply it by the number of victims.

    Seems like it.

    You need to distinguish between the subjective perception on the victim's side and, on the other hand, the objective violation of laws. Just because a victim might not be aware of what happened, or that what happened is bad, does not mean that there has not been a severe criminal act. Unfortunately, your argumentation sounds as if there should be no prosecution of the perpetrator, to avoid scarring of the victims.

    I understand what you are trying to say, but first of all, who knows whether he stopped there? It seems like the police will have to ask a lot of questions. If it turns out that this is all he did, I would agree that he needs to get a lighter sentence than someone who actually raped someone - but it is still a very severe criminal act, and it seems wrong to downplay it based on saying it could have been worse. That sounds like someone saying "ok, you got punched in the face with a bat, but imagine, you could have been shot with an AK-47, so it's not that bad".

    No way dude, I know most of this board is amoral, when it comes to young or beautiful women. But ... 23 kids. C'mon now. There was a female teacher who sexually molested 6 special needs students.

    You can't just hand out punishment without thinking where it fits in comparison to other crimes and their own punishment. If you're going to hand out death for this, then what do you hand out for actual rape? triple death? :rolleyes:

    I know it's sickening, but if having a joint meant the same punishment as having a trunk full of weed, then no one would be carrying a join aroundt. Over-penalize criminals and future criminals will overdo their crimes.
