life, solitary confinement, should be the punishment. 23 1/2 hours a day, 3 showers a week, Nissan cup of soup for breakfast lunch and dinner.
I’m floored. The scariest part of this story is like all the other stories, it raises the questions: HOW MANY TIMES WAS HE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL WITH MEETING UP WITH A CHILD? How many times has he molested without consequence? There is definitely a sick and twisted fetish embedded in child predator’s brains. I do not believe there is help for them. The best help we can do is LOCK THEM UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!!! SAVE OUR CHILDREN FROM THESE FREAKS!
All that money and time spent in ROTC or the academy, gets commissioned and is an officer in the USN. He was suppose to be a leader, but now will spend the rest of his career in court/jail. Justice won’t be swift enough…but as they say “he gone”!
What worries me is –how many times have these people been able to hook up with some kid. As Billy D said I know his friends and family are proud of him.
Well Billy D, we do have to be nice, but they did put a picture of him with the aticle. That picture says everything i could possibly say. Sorry, but im a profiler. If i were his recruiter, id have done some serious background work.
Oh, bartender, its not whats wrong with people today, its always. King James for example. This behavior has grown somewhat, with the yuppie, pc, love everyone, accepting mindset. Not to mention our adulturated communities. You just hear about it more due to instantaneous media outlets.
So much to say here but I have to be nice. No telling what the navy soent to train this perv only to have him end up like this. I bet his co and parents will be really proud of him now. Hopefully once the locals are done with him he’ll face prosecution under the ucmj as well.
Talk about conduct unbecoming of an officer…You are an insult to the naval service, career down the toilet, and another predator identified, good riddance.
they need to put all the sex predators on an island surrouned by sharks and leave them there. what is wrong with people today? why come on to kids. something has got to be wrong with their brain. why he couldn’t come on to someone his own age cause there are plenty of people out there that would be willing to date him im sure.people has turned away from god and the devil is after them all. he don’t deserve to be in service anymore to service our country.
