40 year old soliciting a 16yr old?
he's lucky that all that happened was he was beaten up in jail...

for some reason... murderers, arsonists, robbers, all have some code of morality that says child molesters must die.

Damn right.

i can imagine the conversation...

Murderer: i was the subject of a 6 state manhut... i killed 9 people... ate their liver with some fava beans...tore out their eyeballs and spit in their skull... but you... you tried to have sex with a 16 year old.... You sick freak..


probably comes from the fact that even murderers, drug dealers, arsonists, etc... are parents and have kids themselves.

how do you think a lot of those murderers, arsonists, robbers got to be where they are now?

i really don't mean to sound like the typical atot asshole who is black/white on subjects, but your friend had it coming if he was 40 and was chatting up a 16 year old...

ok, smartass...
a lot of them were molested as kids.

that may be part of it... but i really think it has to do with the fact many of them have kids... and imagine if that was their kid in that situation .

Part of the reason pedophiles can be so reviled is that some inmates are parents, and many were themselves sexually abused as children, some say.

i think, also, it's just the fact that it's become a code among inmates, in a sense, that that's just what you do to someone who's in for a child molestation-type case, regardless of whether or not they have kids or were molested as kids.

here's hoping that he's got a good lawyer and has learned his lesson.
I forgot to mention that he will be on the sexual offenders registry list once he is convicted. The conviction rate for this offense here is very high.

i was unaware of that... are you sure?

seriously?

this is a far more recognized understanding of prison dynamics than child molesters/offenders, simply b/c the latter is so much rarer--and that as I understand it, child offenders tend to be shipped elsewhere--mental institutions?

Yeah, no way in hell a womanizing convict is going to accept a rapist in his territory. Rapist is already known to be incapable of getting his own woman. He is weak. He deserves and will accept death if confronted. etc...

but then we start debating the rationality of the criminal mind. so..... ;)

Step 1 to recovery, throw him in jail where he gets severely beaten :/ - The prison system sucks hard. Probably not as bad as China though :D - At least he'll probably get out due to overcrowding.
