Repugnant

The punishment for sexual assault of a child in this state is absolutely abhorrent. We should be protesting THAT, folks.
MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A 79-year-old nun was sentenced Friday to one year in a county jail for sexually abusing two teens when she was their principal four decades ago.

Sister Norma Giannini avoided a trial by pleading no-contest in November to two felony counts of indecent behavior with a child.
So what if she plead no-contest? We're talking sexual abuse of two teenagers, though forty years ago, that left them scarred. One never married, and one, contrary to all reason -honestly forgave. For that, he should be given sainthood.

And from a NUN, no less. Would we let a priest off with just one year?

I'll liken this sentence with a sports analogy to a hockey penalty. Judge Donald has done nothing for these men to bring their predator to justice, except slam them repeatedly into the wall. One year and the encouragement of a face-to-face meeting. The thought of that alone leaves me losing my breakfast. Judge Donald is despicable and should be put in the penalty box. Any one who receives him as a judicator in the future should ask for a change of venue. Of all things to suggest when dealing with such a deceptive "woman of God," you can't honestly believe she feels remorse. Her actions are abominable and she should rot in prison. That would give her the chance to truly consider the Word of God.

If you're already as angry as me, don't read the end. Evidently there was awareness of "the situation" in the 1990s! THE 1990S!! And no punishment. She's 79 years old, take pity on the old nun.... Not a chance.

It is no wonder the people have lost faith in the judicial process.
