It’s great that a photo is included with this article. But too many times the photo has been lacking in other searches for suspects.
Never taken into custody, well that was a bit of a slip-up, eh?
No, this is part of the process. Case was presented to Grand Jury which returned with true bill, arrest warrant. Makes a stronger case for prosecution.
Absolutely correct. Intake at the Prosecutor’s Office won’t touch an incomplete or sloppy case. Their stats depend on pleas and wins in court.
Andrew Patyjewicz…. Another malahini !!!
This must be a mental disorder , it is insanity. How can a normal person be aroused by a child?
Got to ask Freud on that one. However did learn in sociology class that people have to be learn what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ and that is culturally determined. For example incest is forbidden in pretty much all cultures, EXCEPT for the ruling class of a society. Russian, English and even the Hawaiian royalty enocuraged incest among the royal family members in an attmept to preserve the ‘royal’ blood lines. That did not always work out well from a genetic standpoint. Same thing with pedophiles which is could have been a learned behavior from abusive or problem parents. Yes, the problem could be organic and express itself even with loving supportive parents. In the past, when people died early due to starvation, disease, and violence as soon as a child hits puberty and can reproduce, environmental pressures pushed for children capable or reproducing to have children early before they die. This is no longer true, unfortunately not everyone got the memo on that one. The current US judicial system is reflecting societal norms go hard on pedos and when they catch this guy chances are he will spend the full 20 yrs in prison. It is also follows societal pressure that when this guy goes to prison and he is identified as a pedophile, the other inmates will go after him with their own sense of prison justice and he might not ever make it out of prison in one piece, which is okay as well.
