Andrew James

Just what in bloody hell is this??
When Andrew James walked out of court Monday after pleading guilty to sexually assaulting a 4-year-old boy, there was nothing preventing him from having contact with his victim or any other child.

Now, before you jump to the conclusion that his being in jail will assist in preventing him from contact with the victim or other children, I should tell you that it won't... because this little bastard isn't getting any jail time.
James pleaded guilty in Bennington District Court on Monday to a felony charge of aggravated sexual assault on a victim less than 10 years old. The 4-year-old victim, now 5, told police the assaults had taken place on at least 10 different occasions.

Costello said he agreed to the plea bargain to spare the victim the ordeal of a trial, and because the victim's age would have made it difficult for him to testify.

Bennington District Court Judge David Howard sentenced James to 30 months to five years in jail, but suspended all of the jail time. Instead, Howard ordered James to comply with three conditions: successfully complete sex offender therapy; refrain from criminal behavior; and pay a standard $22 court surcharge.

The maximum penalty for the crime to which James pleaded guilty is life in prison and a $50,000 fine.

Soooo, pretty much this pervert got to have his way with a four year old, pimped out by the state for $22 bucks. Real freaking nice.
I've said it before with the Cashman/Kimbal/Hulett case- when Cashman sentenced the child rapist to sixty days- the state slogan should be Vermont- The Sex Offender Friendly State. How can we honestly tell our children that justice will prevail, that crime doesn't pay, that bad people are punished when they do wrong- when Vermont would rather let these predators roam free.
Hey Vermont- here's a new idea for you: LOCK YOUR DAMN SEXUAL PREDATORS UP! It might even end up saving a few more children from being victims of these deviants.

DAMN...there are people doing years in jail for marijuana but child rape need not be punished so severely...I suppose Vermont is the headquarters of NAMBLA, too.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself. He reads this here blog (which is a hint that you should share your thoughts...

Linsi E. Light

When it came on the news last night, there was very little information. Even today, although there is more coming out- there still is a rather chilling "quietness" in the details of the case. You must understand, my home town is rather small. Murders front page news. So when the second murder of the year was shuffled into the mid section of the paper this morning, without so much as a name for the victim, it seemed- well it seemed odd. It wasn't until this evening that one (out of two) local TV news stations picked it up enough for it to hit their website. What I have been able to compile so far, is that at some time last night, Lima Police received a call about a gun being shot. They arrived at 1212 Bellefontaine Ave, on the east side of Lima to find a 19 year old OSU student dead. The young woman would be identified as Linsi E. Light, a first year OSU Lima student from Montpelier Ohio , a small Ohio town with just over 4,000 residents. She apparently had been shot in th...
