House arrest too lenient for child molester

I am very disappointed and hurt.

I read in the paper last week that this so-called “man” of 34 years was convicted of molesting two young girls aged five and 10 and got 16 months of house arrest and is still able to work during the day.

What is going on with the court system up here?

This so-called “man” molested two little girls who were innocent and trusted him – and he gets another chance? Are you saying to him that it is OK to molest little girls, but just don’t do it out in the public, only in your house?

I know this individual, because I grew up with him and went to school with him.

This man was convicted of molesting children when they were so very young, gets 16 months house arrest, and still gets a chance to do what he wants, while the two very precious little girls are suffering down south.

If I were a family member of those two little girls that were molested, I would appeal this case, because it’s too easy for him to get away with what he did.

I am not trying to bring up the family, because I understand how much they are probably hurting, as I am, but it’s because I don’t want a child molester on the loose.

I am way too angry, because I was also molested as an innocent little girl for so many years.

Anyway, I just have one more thing to say, just one more thing I’d like to ask the court system up North.

Are you guys saying that it’s OK to molest and murder and get away with it?

It sure seems that way, because over the past few years, there have been murders happening and those people are out loose living happy lives, while the family members of the ones that were murdered are suffering.

Let’s put a stop to molesters and murderers by starting some kind of protest, every time we hear there will be a trial for these kinds of offences.
