>>>I agree. Ten years is far too long and it should have been handled internally with the university.
The more appropriate punishment is being thrown out of the university and have it on his record.<<<
I hope you forgot the /sarcasm tag.
What he did was clearly a serious crime, not merely a violation of university rules, like copying his roommate’s term paper or drinking on campus.
How would you feel if someone planted a webcam in your bedroom and secretly videotaped you having sex with your spouse and then broadcast it to others?
I’m not sure it warrants 10 years (and I think the 10 years would only be in play if he had been convicted of the “bias crime”), but it definitely warrants jail time.
I wasn’t sure if it was a criminal case or not.
I don’t have the problem of it being so.
But ten years still seems too much. I think 3 years is more apropriate.
