Disgusting and hard to read. Unfortunately we can’t even put him to death anymore. Just housed and safe guarded with the option of a free sex change. All paid for by……. (drumroll) …. you! Can we at least have a hard labor chain gang in California for inmates like this?

child abuse, rape and murder…
IMHO, those are the 3 golden tickets that earn you a seat at the electric chair ( Hopefully powered by So-Cal Edison).
violent crimes like assult, armed robbery, any crimes perpetrated while in possession of a firearm or that cause physical harm. those should get you locked up until you show yourself capable of controlling your temper and respecting others personal space..
and that’s about it.
more incarceration for non violent crimes. the money we save by not warehousing non violent offenders and drug users will more than cover the cost of their treatment as well as providing proper acceptable mental care for those mentally deficient types we are now stockpiling in prisons.. we have more people incarcerated than any other country in the world, it’s got to stop. if you are a wall street fraudster, Ponzi scammer or embezzler, you should be required to work a blue collar job for a pre-determined amount of time and use your financial acumen to serve the less fortunate in our society in some way be that teaching them sound economics or preparing their taxes, for free of course..

Sounds as if the children may have been hers…? She’s only charged with child endangerment. What providing him with an opportunity to act on his disgusting, unforgivable & flawed desires?… I don’t believe there’s a cure for what he’s suffering from, once a line like that is crossed there’s no going back. Saw an interview with Jeffery Dahmer & that’s basically how he put it. The desire was there, he fought it, but once an opportunity presented itself & he acted on it, there was no going back…period. He knew it. [edit]

If she was an accomplice, and she probably was, she should be charged as an accomplice to rape of a child, not just child endangerment. Her bail should have reflected that. Damn!

She is 58? I’m pretty sure she has a child in their late teens. I doubt she had a child in her 50’s. No excuse for under age sexual contact.

I can’t believe the bail is so damn low! I guess this is how America is being made great by continuing to give WHITE privilege to the White folks… Horrible and Sad I know this is an alleged crime but there are many others in Humboldt county with similar charges and their bails are set way higher I guess that’s because they are of color and this dude is not.

Look at the bails set for colored people in Humboldt and you will see they are set exorbitantly higher than white people. Crime is crime and all should be treated equally when it comes to bail and treatment in jail and the court system!! Just sayin’
