Wow. What a range of opinions....i am surprised there is a lot of tolerance for this (photon had a good point.....sexual, psychological, and physical abuses are all still abuses....difficult to judge which has the most negative long term impact).
Curious who has kids and doesn't on here. I am a new dad......before our son was born, I would have been disgusted to some extent and hoped this fellow was in jail for being so messed up. But being a dad and reading a story like this.....you want this guy and anyone like him as far away from your kids as possible. Punishing and rehabilitating are secondary.......ensuring this NEVER happens again is the most important in my mind. I don't give a finger about his well being and contribution to society anymore. That's how I feel.
Start with a range of solutions from mild to the worst....and stop at the one that we are reasonably certain this guy won't do it again.
