Yes, and they talk of his age as if it is some kind of get out clause. I am sick of hearing those who feel sorry for this guy. I wonder if they would still feel sorry for him if it was their little girl he had molested.
Age, status, social standing or wealth should have no influence over how these people are treated.
And while I am on the subject using the sentences which were in place at the time of the commission of offences is ludicrous. They should face the prison sentences of today not three decades ago.
Personally I would lock them up and throw away the key.....unless they chose to be castrated(chemically, or otherwise).
