People like this are simply scum of the earth, preying on vulnerable childeren. Children are always our angels, to prey on them is beyond belief, to take their childhood away wrenches our stomachs until we can accept no more. No plea bargain should be accepted in such cases, they need to be followed through, so that individuals, like this are incacerated for life, and their assets divested fully in order to pay damages to the victims. If a foreign court cannot dispatch justice in this case, then we should make sure justice is forthcoming, by ourselves, following his release. Let the children play, let the children have their way ..... And let the adults underwrite it, with all their will and ability.
