Was the sentence for the short child predator fair in this case?

Can't do it. I don't go to links that people post. Next time try telling the name of the trial and accused. Too many spy-ware adds at DFW.com

I know someone going through that right now. I think it's not that they are categorizing by "lesser" offenses... but the assumed potential for further action by an offender. They are playing a game of "possibility" and assumptions. I suppose that they assume given the chance all minor offenders will gradually escalate to some greater offense. Though, I could be wrong... but I think thats what they are thinking.

In some cases the age of the person is of little consequence and someone age 14 was tried and convicted as an adult for murder...and in Texas a kid age 15 was tried and convicted for Aggravated Assault on school grounds, he received 5 years in an adult prison.

Yes, it was awful. A Rape Case.\nCome up with anything you can to get out of serving.

There are many things they can and are charged with, depending on where they are arrested. The most common charge for a situation like that is called Solicition of a Minor for Illicit Purposes.\n\nAny charges on top of that would depend on how much they did before showing up to the house. There could be Transmission of Obscene Matter to a Minor, Contributing to the Delinquency/Dependency of a Minor, Attempting Sexual Contact with a Child, etc. The names of these charges would change a little based on individual state laws. But just about anywhere, these are all felonies. If you get hit for just one of them, there is a chance the judge will be lenient. But the more of them you have, the longer the sentence will be.\n\nIt's possible that a really good, high-priced lawyer could get one or two of the charges reduced or dropped. But without the large amount of money that would require, there is a very real chance of a very long prison term.

That's a good idea, actually- but I don't know what the sentence should be...\n\nMaybe three years mandatory in prison (minimum!)- without the possibility of getting out early. But if the crime is premeditated and cruel, then the sentence should be more severe.

I think that he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Thankfully, there is one less child predator off the streets.

I was jailed for 10 months for assisting an offender and perverting the course of justice. I lied to the police about the whereabouts of my then boyfriend who was wanted by the police. My boyfriend had stabbed somebody that beat up his sister badly and i covered up for him. I thought my sentence was pretty harsh and still do as hit and run drivers get a fine and 3 points even if the victim dies.I wasn't a danger to or harmed anyone.

The crime is escape from lawful custody.  At the time of the escape the custody was due to the conviction, and was lawful.  The offence has been committed.

yes, and the reason being, I personally know a young offender who actually said that he can get away with almost anything short of murder because of the young offenders act, it really changed my point of view on this.

I have to say the one that went to jail had a bum rap. But I doubt very much if they will pay him back financialy. He lost a lot of years. With all respect to the the girl who was killed. He was accused, mistreated,freedom taken away, and probably treated  ungodly in prison. Being locked up is hell on earth.

I spent three days in a county jail with a 6 foot tall very angry woman who had just shot her husband in the face.  ummm.. yeah, can somebody please call my daddy???....  the worst part about it was that mine was such a petty crime. horticulturist should never be jailed, i was doing my part to produce more oxygen and eliminate global warming ;O)

It depends if Children Services has an open case on her. If they do and she takes the child they can get her for kidnapping.

I agree that this is a pretty lame excuse for behavior modification.  If it was to make up for poor sentence writing, that would obviously be different.\n\nAs to what the state's position on this is, I have no idea.  But despite how pathetic this methodology is, I doubt there would be some moratorium on "sentence punishment".

i think him being mentally challenge would be in consideration. But it also will be determine how severely he/she is. If he/she is very servery mentally challenge then maybe he Will be put into a mental institution BC he is a danger to society. So it all depends on how severally he/she is on what the judge will say. If it is a jury that is gonna do it then it could go any way. they could fine him totally Innocent or not. but it depends on how server it is and if the Judge is doing the judging or if it is going to be jury.
