Seems to me just another mouth for tax payers have to feed cause he cant follow the rules. Maybe if they had to work for their for in prison and lights and water then there wouldn’t be so many in prison and we wouldn’t have to pay for so many to be feed

Justice was served…
Sex offenders have no place in my world.
Thankful he didn’t commit another sexual assault crime. Good job judge for seeing him for what he is and locking him up before he harms another person.
