Vermont Loves The Little Sex Offenders–UPDATED

December 1, 2008 / 11:13 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Remember those freaks who killed their step-daughter and niece and who ran a sex ring in Vermont because of their fuzzy rehabilitation programs? Yeah, well, the state policy still sticks in my craw. And here’s why:

A sex offender whose lenient sentence for molesting a child led to a crackdown on punishment for sexual predators in Vermont will likely be released from prison next month, state corrections officials say.

Mark Hulett is due for release Jan. 2, but will remain under the state Corrections Department’s supervision for life and could return to prison if he commits another offense or violates conditions of his release.

Judge Edward Cashman was criticized by lawmakers and Gov. Jim Douglas when he sentenced Hulett, then 34, to 60 days for sexually assaulting the daughter of a family friend numerous times during a four-year period beginning when she was 6.

Protect the weak and defenseless. I don’t want this guy “rehabilitated”. I want him in prison for life. Does that seem excessive? Well, the girl he molested will have to live with this forever. He should, too.

UPDATED:

And in the other corner, we have normal kids having sex, tried and then labeled as sex offenders. This is ridiculous and makes me hate the legislators who come up with this garbage.

NO WISDOM AT ALL.

    60 Days…

    What a travesty. What an absolute lack of justice.

    How did this guy get to be a judge–did he find a black robe in a box of Cracker Jack?

    The punishment should fit the crime. I have no problem with a life sentence for someone who has ruined the life of a child.
