He abused his position of authority to take sexual advantage of minors.
indeed he did abuse his position, no one is here arguing otherwise
If his life "hangs in the balance," whose fault is that? He knew what he was doing, and he wasn't entrapped. He continued doing it even when he knew the police were on to him. He is responsible for his actions and the consequences that result..
it is his fault. no one is here arguing otherwise. once the state incarcerates and or arrests you and you are in custody his life now is the states responsibility, regardless of his crime.
I'm not saying he should get a life prison sentence; that's unrealistic to expect. At the very least he should never be
allowed to teach again,
fair enough but in my opinion thats over the top, then again i respect your differing one.
be put on the sexual offenders registry,
attend mandatory counseling, and supervised probation. One smidgen of discrepancy during the probation period, then throw him behind bars.
This I find very dangerous thinking. he asked to see photos. why the need to put him int he same category as rapists and pedophiles, sexual offenders. he asked ot see pics. interesting thing here is he asked. if he was a real deal sexual offender he would of not asked to see pics he would of grabbed this girls and did what the hell he wanted. period.
the easiest way to turn a man into a monster is to incarcerate him with other monsters. if you want to put a guy inside for breach of probation for asking to see pics of teen titties, i guarantee you he will come out seeking to rape other teen girls. no asking, no pics. no net chat. he will be a monster.
so then again i ask how is that good for society?
fairness is a faculty of justice. punishment must meet the crime or the system is itself founded on nothing other then the rule by force of a monopoly of violence ie the state. and to the above i agree indeed it is.
rather i offer an alternative which is this.
fire him if need be, and be done with it.
simple.
safe the police, courts, prison, parole, breach, councilors to handle the monsters. this guy was a asking to see teen boobies
spare me
