This man is a predator, not a victim. He was not forced to do what he did
at gunpoint. His potential victims need to be warned. That's why we have
'Meagan's Law' in the USA which mandates that people be able to find out
if there are any sexual offenders in their neighborhood after they have
served their sentences. In many, if not most, communities, you can log
onto a Web site to learn where they are. This man admits to what he has
done. There is no doubt he is guilty. He should be in jail for the
protection of the community. Sexual offenders rarely rehabilitate
themselves. The recitivism (sp?) rate for these crimes is more than 95%,
Even those who are required to take drugs to control their impulses are
dangerous because the drugs are not completely effective.
You are making a lot of presumptions.
The man is, at the moment, not charged with a crime.
That makes him an innocent citizen who, apparently was involved in a
criminal investigation, not a criminal or predator.
You have a lot of laws in your country including many that don't make a lot
of sense, some that are downright stupid, and a few that are as repressive
as anything found in a dictatorship, but out of respect for the many
American friends I have made on this list, I won't take this line of thought
any further.
His victims will be scarred for life. Some will probably go on to
victimize other sexually. They will, most likely, never be able to
sexually relate to another person normally for the rest of their lives.
Again, you talk of victims, yet by definition, he has victimized no one.
Were there a possibility that he had, he would be facing charges.
According to what has been posted regarding this man he is not showing any
sign of admitting that what he had done was wrong. He's angry at the guy
who turned him in. He deserves no sympathy as far as I am concerned.
According to what has been posted, he has not commited a crime.
I hope you have the decency to excuse yourself from jury duty based on your
lack of impartiality.
