Obviously he should be punished, but punished worse than many murderers?

My guess is that the only reason he got a 5 year sentence with early release for grooming and exploiting multiple children in Arizona was because he was only 19 at the time. I mean, we’re talking about Arizona. Aren’t they the state that has a 10 year minimum per image for csam possession? Evidently, this guy’s luck ran out in Texas. He won’t see freedom until 2075 if he makes it that long.

He’s got a problem. Has anyone tried to address it, or is it better to lock him up forever and we foot the bill? He was 19 or 20 for the first conviction if I’m reading correctly and I am certain his online problem with minors started long before that.

Cases such as this doesn’t help that registrants don’t re-offend, however why didn’t he get some help during his first case. Another waste of resources that could have been spent on getting this guy some help that clearly needs and hasn’t never received. The registry fails again and now taxpayers will have to foot the bill. Congrats Chief Justice Roberts and all those on the court for allowing these insane laws to continue.
