Sorry to say that, but WTF?
Having read this account, I can hardly believe such people (creatures? idiots? Lost for words right now.) exist. Even knowing, this is a one in a million/billion case, I really do not understand how someone could do things like this. I totally understand how a system can be exploited. I even can acknowledge on an intellectual level the "hack" of the system. But playing with lives destroying innocent (mostly girls in this case, but the gender/age do not matter if people are terrorized imho) people, is clearly something I will never be able to understand.
And then only serving what - some 16 month in juvenile. Sorry, but that should not be right as well. This is no punishment, this does not deter others, imho.
And this does also not help the guy in any way. Why can't he be made tu at least also undergo therapy:
> His description of the pleasure he gets from causing humiliation and harm ... is suggestive of quite significant emerging psychopathic traits.
No, he will run free, nine month after his sentence.
Having written that much on him, I am still shaking my head in disbelieve.
- GFischer 11y agoI really wish he'd get some psychological or psychatric treatment, or even psychiatric internment. Much more suitable and helpful than more incarceration.

Definitely not billion, there have been tons of cases in the US alone[0].
