“failure to register” refers to the sex offender registry, so I looked up Cordiars Arnold and court records show he was sentenced to five years of probation (no time in prison) for “sexual intercourse or deviate sexual activity with another person who is less than sixteen years of age” and “At the time of sexual intercourse, the juvenile disclosed that she was 14 years of age and CORDIARS O. ARNOLD was approximately 22 years of age.”
The only reason he spent any time in prison at all was because, according to what I’ve read, he didn’t update his address and employment — and that was only two years, served concurrently (at the same time) with a revocation for his original sentence (also two years). It took nearly a decade to get… I wouldn’t call it justice, perhaps some semblance of justice, but a child molester only getting two years, and possibly only serving a few months of that, don’t seem like justice to me.
I hope they deny his parole, because he’s clearly a pedophile that belongs behind bars for way longer than what they even sentenced him to in the first place. I also hope the General Assembly gets its act together and passes harsher punishments and mandatory minimums for sex crimes instead of giving them light sentences and get out of jail free cards over and over. Seeing how a lot of Republican state legislators are buddies with Josh Duggar (who’s in prison for child porn), I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon. I’ll say it again: the government is controlled by pedophiles!
Exactly! All these pedos getting a slap on the wrist is pathetic
