SICK, SICK, SICK, man!!! Why don't they throw away the keys to prison on people like this?? And even when he DOES go to prison, it's like a slap on the wrist, AND they STILL have rights?? They SHOULD take ALL rights away from someone who is imprisoned, They take away the rights of their victims!! DISGUSTING !!! When are the laws governing this kind of sick act going to get stricter?
