Vermont Judge Increases Sentence for Child Rapist
Fox news just reported that the 60 day sentence for Mark Hulett to 3 to 10 years. Hardly a satisfactory sentence for a man who raped a child for four years. The reasoning for such lenient treatment of such a horrible crime is the hope that therapy will cure this man. The proof of course will be after his release. If he rapes another child we will know if it works or not.
What kind of society do we have that this person is not seen for what he is by the authorities that are responsible for meeting out justice. Why can't we take the position that some activities are so evil that those who do them should be permanently removed from society? We don't have to kill them, but we don't need to leave them wander free either.
Update: I thought "what was he thinking?" So I found out.

Well thats swell and I hope for his and all our sakes that he is indeed cured. In the meantime, for the sake of the little boy, society at large and "to encourage the others" can we at least get down to the business of *punishing* this person?
