Ewww... you got your Key West all over my feet!
His sentence? 15 years.
Sure, if that was my kid, I’d probably have beaten the guy into a mess so bad that Beatrix Kiddo would have pitied him. Nevertheless, 15 years for whacking it while touching someone’s feet?

The Legal Satyricon 
Are you saying the sentence is too long or too short?
well its not just whacking it. It’s disobeying a direct message to not come over. It’s breaking and entering. It’s possibly forcible confinement. it’s a deemed non-consensual act with a minor during the comission of a B&E. Does Florida have home-invasion statute? If so, it might qualify.
oh and this one totally qualifies to go on sex-offender list, unlike some of the horror stories we have heard.
It just seems like an awful long time in prison for an act that is creepy, it is gross, and it is an indicator of someone who might do greater harm in the future… but still, 15 years in prison for that just seems a bit harsh.
Don’t get me wrong, I shed no tears for him. I just gotta wonder how some people get 5 years for rape, and this guy gets 15 years for this.
do they get 5 years for rape of a kid tho?
Most likely, they saw the escalating behavior and chose to seek the harshest punishment possible. I could see the prosecutor using discretion to charge with something lesser if this were another kid who was going through a “phase,” but this is a grown man with some serious issues, who’s aspiration seems to be full-blown pedophilia. I’m surprised the parents let him hang around as long as they did! You’d think the Elizabeth Smart story would have taught people a lesson about having weirdos in their house.
Well, one thing I find interesting is that they met him at a Baptist church, not at a strip club, not at an adult bookstore, and not at a swinger’s club. I wonder if this proves that Baptist churches cause “adverse secondary effects?”
