There is no over reaction to a child molester

I believe the death penalty is the best answer

At a minimum, life in prison

15 is old enough to know better

Should have been charged as an adult

If he came to play for the Barons, people would stop buying tickets and advertisers would bail

This is true just about everywhere

I am not defending him. He was punished per the legal system. He served the sentence that was demanded of him by the legal system.

If we are unable to allow felons back into society after their fulfill their punishments, what is the point of the punishment to begin with?

Why even try to rehabilitate anyone if that is the case?

You know why this all broke don't you? He didn't follow the conditions of his punishment to begin with.
So, destroy his future over that then?

I'm just trying to grasp where everyone's idea of rehabilitation ends and blacklisted from everything and life long punishment begins.

It is an absolutely valid question. Why even try to rehab these people if they are unable to live normal lives afterwards?

He got off incredibly easy compared to what someone would get hit with in this region of the country if they were caught molesting a 4-6 year old.

He destroyed his own future by not adhering to quite possibly the easiest part of his sentence to begin with. A once a year check in with law enforcement. Whether you like it or not, because of the higher rate of recidivism with untreated/untracked sex offenders than other crimes that is something he is obligated to do. That is part of the rehabilitation that was allowing him to continue functioning as a part of regular society.

He obviously didn't care enough about the situation to hold to something as simple as that.

I don't disagree with that.

I disagree with the idea that he should be blacklisted from everything and should be kicked off the team because of it.

He should face the legal ramifications of said actions.

Here is my valid answer, if you murder someone or molest a child, you should be put to death

My opinion, at a minimum, you should never get out of prison

Steal a car? Rob a store?

Fine, I am all about 2nd chances and rehabilitation

He raped a toddler fairly recently

eta - ra to move to SEC OT or poli board on TD

I think the larger issue is that the University likely does not have a policy that prevents him from being on the team as a convicted sex offender. From the article I posted, they likely didn't find out about his registration status until after he started with the University (when they're sent their list of offenders to cross-check with their enrollment lists). I believe the only thing you have to disclose when applying for a school anymore is felony drug convictions because it involves financial aid distribution.

That all said he wasn't kicked off the team anyway. He made the decision to leave because of the public backlash he was likely going to receive. That's his choice. Had he made his annual check in, the records wouldn't even be public at this point. That was also his choice.

Lets not act like he wasn't given ample opportunity to be rehabilitated and allowed to function in society without issue beforehand.

I tend to agree. He should have received a much harsher sentence to begin with.

This guy will likely commit suicide soon, so, that will most likely happen.

Good, but anyone that had anything to do with recruiting him should be fired immediately.

They likely didn't know. The juveniles files weren't reopened for the public until after he failed to report his status and he was already on the team. And I'd be willing to bet they weren't going to self report that to a coach if they thought it was going to remain a sealed case.

No

Because why should they be punished for not finding a sealed juvenile record?

If they knew? Then yes, fire them
