I know this is old news but I thought I'd bump this. I went to school with this creepy little man so I was curious about his sentencing.
It turns out that this guy is now a convicted rapist. After his kiddie porn trial they entered his DNA into the national data bank and they got a hit on an unsolved sexual assault. He's now been sentenced to seven years.

So much for leniency and blaming his conduct on crack....The fact that the Judge believed this garbage about him only taking pictures to trade for drugs and noted it during sentencing is pretty troubling. Frankly I think it is ridiculous. It is clear that this man is violent sexual offender. Why does the justice system not want to see that?
I have to say that they totally screwed up their psychological evaluation as well. They are still blaming his violent nature on crack addiction and I think that is so wrong. This is a prime example of why they need to rewrite the young offenders' act and look at school records when doing psychological evaluations. If they had looked into his background they would have found something other than crack addiction to explain his behavior. He has a long history of violence.
