Great context, thanks.
I was also mystified at the first part of that quote, that “being a young police officer contributed to the cause of this offense.” How does that work? Does being a young cop often lead to trafficking child pornography?
I have to assume there’s some context in the case im missing that makes that statement perfectly reasonable because the alternative is this guy stating that the cop profession somehow makes you do pedo shit and this is so well known a phenomenon that it doesn’t need further elaboration.
Probably something along the lines of him having access to CSAM because of his job
I assume it’s because he’s “dating” a 16 year old and showed everyone her hoo-ha.
You know how narcs are often addicted to the drugs they’re confiscating from dealers? This dude was busting pedos and decided he should see what the fuss was all about.
Well, see, we did sentence him to twenty years. It’s just, you know, he doesn’t have to serve the time. You know how it is.
I’m sure the parole officer will treat him the same as any other convict and he’ll get tossed back in prison for missing a phone call or something. They wouldn’t give him preferential treatment.
If Lemmy had ‘Lemmy Gold’, you’d have a trophy right now.
Donate to the instance instead!
I am cheerfully making a small monthly donation via Patreon (which annoys me cuz I hate Patreon, but I couldn’t make the Open Collective link work).
Kinda miss handing out Gold though. Seems like it would be a great fediverse fundraiser.
Thanks man. I’ll treat it like gold for the purpose of inflating my ego.
Cops should receive longer sentences, harsher penalties than the regular population. Like double. Because they are supposed to be held to a higher standard.
Hell I’d settle for the SAME standard and penalties. This isn’t even a slap on his wanking wrist.
agreed
“He was also sentenced to 10 years of supervised probation.”
I predict he’ll violate this.
Of course he’ll violate it, but they won’t do anything about it.
Hopefully in 6 months enough inmates will be able to show this guy just how unpopular cops and paedos are in prison. Kind of a double whammy. But I’m a Brit so I don’t know if County jail is ‘easy’ jail or ‘oh shit’ jail.
So in US. jail is where you go pending trial, or if you are sentenced to 365 or less days of incarceration. Prison is 365+1 days or more. Exceptions to this include if you’re awaiting a trial but was sentenced to prison from a previous crime or something to that end. Easy is relative. Many say Prison is better than jail because there’s less of a revolving door and you know where you’ll be for awhile. There’s also systems set up like more classes and opportunities because the captive audience is going to be there longer and can go through more programming in prison v. Jail.
Thanks, that’s really informative I never knew that. I could get why prison would be better relatively speaking.
Acab anyone ?
