Former Pastor Awaits Prison Sentence After Admitting to Sexually Molesting Young Girls in Haiti
christian post ^ | Morgan Lee

A former North Carolina minister who pleaded guilty in 2013 to sexually molesting underage Haitian girls received a 25-year sentence from a federal judge on Friday.

Larry Michael Bollinger, 68, pleaded with a federal court judge for over an hour to prevent him receiving a maximum 120-year sentence, and admitted that he was a sex addict who for years had been obsessed with pornography, and had solicited sex from prostitutes, as well as frequented adult bookstores.

Once he was in Haiti and the opportunity presented itself to sexually abuse the girls, Bollinger "crossed boundaries I never imagined I would have crossed."

"I'm very embarrassed that I let myself slip to those depths, but I did," he said tearing up in the court room, reported WSOC.

After spending the last year in prison, Bollinger returned to federal court Friday because he entered a conditional guilty plea in his 2013 court hearing that authorized him to "appeal a federal judge's ruling that denies his motion to dismiss the charges against him."

So, caught, he becomes (or tries to) the victim of a terrible urge (read disease here), when in all reality and goodness, he should be turned out into the streets of that country’s largest city with a sign around his neck that says “Child Predator Pervert.”

“he should be turned out into the streets of that country’s largest city with a sign around his neck that says “Child Predator Pervert.””

He’d last about ten minutes if they did that. Not that I’m complaining mind you.

Embarrassed? What about ashamed, repentant, contrite, or any of that other judicial nonsense with respect to violently vile criminals... Embarrassed? If it were me, I'd ventilate his head with a 45 ACP.

You’re embarrassed if you fart in a public place.

Embarrassed doesn’t even touch the surface of what this man has done.

In this country if a dog goes mad and harms/traumatizes a child we put down the dog. Why don't we do the same to a child molester?

He didn't try the “but I was just following Congressman Menendez’s example your honor” to his credit. Based on that this and his apparently sincere apology I say sentence him to a relatively painless death.

He is embarrassed he got caught. In his heart of hearts, he is innocent.

I know if I were ever put in a room with one and left alone, I’d do something about it.

The lefties are making a push to legalize this. A defensive plan such as used against the gays will have a similar result.

Just guessing here, but knowing big L libertarians, I do believe at least some of them would.

There are libertarians here that would consider laws against child prostitution to be statist and fascist.

They think they can use the despicable and counterproductive judiciary system here to inure themselves against prosecution of perversion like this. But it cannot change the mind of a real father, brother, grandfather, etc.
