Is 50 years too Little, too Much, or Just Right?

I don't think it was the "pimping" that was the big problem, it was the violence & threatening of forcing 12 year olds to prostitute. If he was pimping 20-40 year olds, I don't think he would get anything near that.

Selling kids you get what you deserve. Plus holding them like that could be considered kidnapping which is life isn't it?

Based on how he was dressed I take it he was pimping on a golf course.

Totally justified

Not enough. Life would not be enough. Pimps should be tortured to death on live television.

Definitely sick crime and good point regarding kidnapping. In this context, he got lucky with just 50 years.

Lock his friends up too... :disgust

ADG

Calling what he did "pimping" makes it sound very minor. He was tricking out 12 year old girls, beating them, assaulting them, and that's just the start of his crimes. I'm sure there is hundreds of other violations from rape to drugs. I think fifty years serves him right.

Piece of shit, hope he dies in there.

Should there be a special law with enhanced sentencing just for cases like this? I think if it involves children that fact alone should merit a multiplier factor. What do you all think?

Guess the race

Should get an extra year for wearing his hat like that:winkwink:

"One victim was only 12, and another still carried a teddy bear with her at times."

He got off easy.

Forcing a twelve year old, or anyone, to do that is essentially rape. A friend who was partially similar situation told me each time it felt like not only was she being raped, but she was being forced to almost pretend she enjoyed it. Being pleasant to the "customers" meant denying the reality of the crime time after time.

So, how many years is righy for raping kids hundreds of times, with the assistance of your customers?

Exactly. Aggravating circumstances. Seriously though, there should be a special sentencing enhancement factor for crimes against children.

Pimping is against the law, but the girls are not on their own so should they press the button

press what?
