I'm just gonna say it: at some point, a person becomes a serious threat and needs to be isolated from society forever. That point is waaaaaaay before molesting 71 children. If you slap someone on the wrists too many times, their hands just go numb.

In Florida this guy would get the chair.
Or he'd hold an elected position for decades
So, 6 months jail time for permanently traumatizing a single child? "Think of the children" indeed!
"Think of the children!"
The priest:
Damn dude.
If you think that's bad, here's the joke I was going to post but thought it was in bad taste:
The priest wasn't interested in converting to Islam, he had his 72 virgins already.
The crowds just warmed up - Keep going, you're on fire!
Funny that you mention crowds getting warmed up, that's how you can get your own harem of virgins.
I like my humor dark!
These non-human pieces of shit can be easily put into power over the weak, naive, and vulnerable when a part of the church. It's as simple as "volunteering" to help out with the kid's Sunday school classes, childcare, youth group, "mentoring", and all other kinds of jobs they so selflessly volunteer to do. No background checks needed!
They'll pick out the ones least likely to speak up. They'll gain their trust. They'll form a bond of trust. They'll nurture the relationship. They can easily convince the party they've assaulted that you should be guilty for what happened.. what you made them do.
I know this, because I was a victim many many years ago.
A church in my area recently had an uproar because the pastor's son had been doing things to children. Thing is.. it came out the pastor and his wife knew their son had a "problem" for years before.. AND STILL GAVE HIM FULL ACCESS TO THE CHILDREN IN THE CHURCH!!!
Dead serious: keep your kids out of the church. Do not trust them with your children!!
I'm sorry that happened to you. I read recently of another church leader who killed a little girl he was supposed to be driving somewhere in a group, then pretended she never got on the bus, and comforted her family. In the 1970s. Only recently admitted to the murder. I can't imagine what kind of sociopath takes somebody's baby and then lies to their face for 50 years about what happened.
Less than a year per child? That's not enough.
if I only had to pay 7 months ... nah, I can't finish that sentence.
imagine being one of the other 71 people being told this one's pain is worth 12 months
Why was he even allowed access to the 72nd one? Isn't there some point where we decide this isn't going to stop?
It's always the ones you most expect.
I guess you get a bulk discount on destroying children's lives. That's fucked up.
Clergy does attract this sort of shit... how come we only finding this out recently?
had a workmate ponder why this sorta stuff only comes up 20 yrs later, I saw red and yelled well put yourself in their shoes you wouldn't want to talk about it either
Because we blocked our ears for so long.

Maybe Australia should bring back the death penalty.
Australia WAS the death penalty.
Especially if you were indigenous.
Nah.
We don’t want to be as disgusting as this person.
Crickey!
