Sex offender Wesley Hawkins is now in the corner of the judge who once sentenced him to jail as Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson undergoes her Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
In 2013, Hawkins pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography, a felony. Jackson sentenced him to three months in jail, far below the sentencing guidelines of eight to 10 years and below the prosecution’s call for a two-year sentence.
The case has emerged as a major point of concern for Senate Republicans, who have noted that Jackson regularly offers lighter sentences to sex offenders than recommended in sentencing guidelines.
Hawkins has now said he has sympathy for Jackson as she is grilled about her logic in giving him such a light sentence, according to The Washington Post.
“I wasn’t very happy that she gave me three months, though, after reflection when I was in jail, I was hearing from other people who said it was their first time arrested and they got five years, six years,” he said.

“I wasn’t very happy that she gave me three months”
Not sensing a lot of remorse in this guy.
No mercy.
He’s a pedophile. He will always be a pedophile.
Wells let’s see. He was a man, aged 19. Judge Jackson opined from the depth of her wisdom that boys 8,11 and 12 were “essentially your peers.” We gotta have that level of erudition on the Supreme Court
A longer sentence would have really messed up his future plans...to acquire more kiddie porn.
If these hearings are not over yet, this little item needs to be pointed out and emphasized for all the senators and the public to hear. She needs to be shamed, actually, for this egregiously short sentence.
It might not stop her race/gender driven confirmation, but it will leave a sour taste which it very definitely should!
Why should he, he furthered the victimization of children and basically got a sentence for 90 days….
This woman should be nowhere near any bench. This one case alone (forget all the rest of her crap) should disqualify her…
But democrats don’t care about it.
Millstone. Neck. Ocean.
How about he thanks KBJ in Congress in front of all...
She'll be on the court for decades whose vote will always be counted upon for every single issue, while our side has gadfly Gorsuch and the oddballs Kavanaugh and Barrett and every single important decision is always a guess as to how they will vote and will disappoint a good number of times.
I give the democrats credit - they are in your face and fearless while our side cowers in the corner.
No remorse because he's still involved.
So that makes TWO pedophiles who are behind her nomination. (The first one should be very pleased to hear that when he returns to the White House tonight.)
Good thing the dims are fast tracking an candidate on the SCOUTUS for more anal rape of children. /sacarsm
The GOP will vote for her confirmation, and then spend 30 years complaining that she always rules against conservative principles.
“ This seems to be a situation in which you were fascinated by sexual images involving what were essentially your peers,” she said. “And, as the psychological report concluded, there’s no reason to believe that you are a pedophile or that you pose any risk to children.”
Peers? 8 year olds are not peers to a 19 year old
Sounds like Kunta Kinte Jackson has quite a fan club following full of pedophiles out there. Pedophilia is the “next big thing” sweeping across the nation. Pretty soon the RAT politicians will be trying to legalize “medical pedophilia”.
Apparently Biden's square filler of color doesn't know the definition of a child either--then again she's not a gerontologist.
Pedos gonna stick together. Democrats love pedos so much they made on president. Disgusting degenerates.
