AG Uthmeier cites accusations against nanny who recorded himself molesting at least 5 children.

 

While announcing that Florida will seek the death penalty for a 36-year-old nanny indicted for raping multiple young children, including a three-year-old, Attorney General James Uthmeier called on the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday to reverse a decades-old decision declaring it unconstitutional to execute child rapists.

Uthmeier stressed during a Brooksville press conference that Nathan _______, accused of videoing the rape of five children under 12 in Hernando County — with more rapes suspected statewide — is an example of why the U.S. Supreme Court needs to reconsider the 2008 precedent at issue.

“[This is] nothing more than pure evil,” Uthmeier said, imploring Floridians who have information on Nathan to contact his office. “Crimes like this against young children, where you take their innocence, you take their childhood away from them, these horrific acts deserve the ultimate form of justice.”

Nathan was arrested on Oct. 20 after a “Good Samaritan” notified the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office that he had child pornography on his phone, according to county Sheriff Al Nienhuis. What authorities found was “one of the most heinous investigations,” Rita Peters — special counsel to the attorney general who’s worked in the sex crimes unit for more than 25 years — had ever seen.

This would be extremely stupid to allow. After all, if you can give death for a crime that did not result in a death, where does it stop? Does that mean any sexual crime regardless the age of the victim in worthy of death? If so, what about beating someone half to death, most likely causing lifelong injuries, should one get death for it, or what about drinking and driving, causing the death of innocents on the road, does the drive get death for his actions? The minute you allow them to use kids as a way to get around laws to legally kill people, no one is safe from said laws.
