An internet predator who drove to a 16 year olds school in order to meet her, pick her up and have sex was sentenced Nov 15th. The sentence is unbelievable. Unacceptable. And extremely discouraging to those that would fight to protect our children.
He does not have to register as a sexual offender, and after 70 days, he's home free. That must be nice for him. Did I mention that he is: Former Baltimore Blast soccer team announcer Art Sinclair. Perhaps the good ol' judge was a bit sport fan. There certainly can not be any other reason as to why this 60 year old pervert will be walking free so soon.
It just keeps getting better. His lawyer offered this sweet piece of commentary, no doubt in effort to win our sympathy.
Oh, well now that he put it that way- my heart is all bleeding for this poor man. So he lost his job. He should be happy that he isn't rotting in some jail for the rest of his life. I'm sure he'll be sending the judge some nice "thank you" cards over the up coming seasons. Sinclair is not "redeeming himself from stupidity" he is getting away with being a sexual predator. At what point is the judge failing to see that?
In the words of the victims mother: "That's not time! I'm not satisfied with that. He deserves more time!"
Circuit Judge Louis A. Becker sentenced Sinclair, whose real name is Arthur J. Lapenotiere, to 10 years in prison, with all but 70 days suspended, after he pleaded guilty to the charge of unnatural or perverted sexual practices....
....Becker ordered the sentence to be divided between 15 days in jail - to be served during weekends - and 55 days of home detention. Sinclair, 60, of the 1000 block of Uniontown Road in Westminster, is scheduled begin serving his time Jan. 6.

Sinclair's lawyer, David Irwin, said his client has been fired as the announcer for the indoor soccer team, a position he held for 25 years. Irwin said Sinclair is now trying to "redeem himself from stupidity." FULL STORY
