Great news. Fantastsic to see the judges not afraid to jail someone just beacuse he is a 'preacher'. All he ever preached was probably shíte.

Just damn happy to see this guy get time.

Agree with ya bud, but to me it's as symbolic as practical. Hopefully a tone has been set, and others will follow.

Glad to see the cúnt go down.

agreed. But I must say, I'm sick of hearing judges taking people's age into account when they are being sentenced a long time after the crime- you see it all the time here with sex abuse cases. If you commit a crime, you do the punishment whether you get caught 5 minutes, 5 years or 50 years after.

I've seen several documentaries on this. Absolutely disgusting act. I'm delighted to see some justice done, even if it is far too late in coming.

He will be in solitary confinement when he goes to prison. I say put him in general population with Antwan and Bubba!

For once I agree 100% with ya! Same with these Nazi war criminals-good to see an Italian judge send 10 down for life last week.
Yeah I don't agree with keeping prisoners in solitarey for their own protection-especially peadophiles; put 'em in with the rest I say!
