A man who molested a child for approximately 2 years gets a sentence of 5 years (and is eligible for parole once 85% of the sentence is served (emphasis mine):
BELVIDERE | A Carbon County man who sexually assaulted a girl in Phillipsburg drew a five-year sentence Friday.
William Robinson, 25, of the 200 block of Delaware Avenue, Palmerton, molested the child between September 2002 and Nov. 8, 2004, when the child was 2 to 4 years old, authorities said.
Robinson will serve his sentence in the Adult Diagnostic and Treatment Center in Avenel, N.J., a correctional institution for sex offenders deemed repetitive and compulsive.
Charges of aggravated sexual assault and child endangerment were dismissed as part of an earlier plea bargain. He pleaded guilty to sexual assault by contact. The victim knew Robinson, authorities said.
Robinson must serve 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. He is subject to parole supervision for life and the Megan’s Law sex offender registration requirements.
I know I must sound like a broken record to some of my readers, but does it really seem fair that this man sexually molests a child between the age of 2 and 4 and can get a sentence of 5 years? HE SEXUALLY MOLESTED A CHILD FROM THE AGE OF TWO UNTIL FOUR YEARS OF AGE. Oh, and do you want to know why he stopped? Because he was caught - and arrested. Do you want to know what will likely occur once he is free from prison? He’ll find another two year old and start over. And so goes the cycle of molestation.
I’m so sick and tired of reading articles about how the criminal should be rehabilitated. I think all of the money spent trying to rehabilitate such scum should go toward counseling for the victims instead. They are the ones that will spend the rest of their lives haunted by an unprovoked, forced molestation.

"I think all of the money spent trying to rehabilitate such scum should go toward counseling for the victims instead." Shouldn't we earmark a dollar for a few rounds to shoot these nasty monsters?
I have some ideas for rehabbing this poor gentleman who was obviously led into this act by the outrageous flirtations of this two year old (totally sarcasm there)......how about castration?
I was molested as a child so I am particularly sensitive to this. Makes me sick.
Chris - I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to you as a child. I'm disgusted by these types of criminals and while castration is a GREAT suggestion, you are much too kind. I personally don't think these vile monsters should breathe another breath myself. I vote for conviction on a Tuesday and a hanging Tuesday at sunset.
