I think they’re trying to get us to feel sorry for the chap.
Well, I do.
I do feel a bit sorry for him. But also I'm very curious to know how serious his "sex crimes" were. All the article says is:
...convicted of criminal sexual conduct in 1991,...
But what does that mean? Is the guy really dangerous or not? This doesn't really tell me.
Sex-offenders are such vermin in my thinking, that I cannot find a single crocodile tear to waste on any of them.
Before anyone gets hot at me- Ask yourself when the last time was that YOU got raped???
