    Can somebody explain why every article about this is coupled with a drawing instead of, for example, the face of the piece of shit, or one of those random stock pictures that are often used for similar articles?

      The US is a weird exception in the western world where people are treated as undeserving of their human rights and privacy rights once they are sentenced for any crime. Elswhere this would be considered completely absurd.

      This is the kind of thing you will usually see in court rooms.

    I’m sure Brigitte Bardot will be along shortly to protest the injustice…of a sex criminal suffering the consequences of their actions.

      That’d be too easy, I’m in for a damp isolation cell for the rest of his life, and no dental care.

    20 years for 299 victims. That’s just over three weeks per victim.

    Although…

    Le Scouarnec, 74, has been dubbed France’s most prolific paedophile. He is already in jail after being sentenced in 2020 to 15 years for raping and sexually assaulting four children, including two of his nieces.

    He’ll probably die in jail, so … there’s that.

      All I know about French prisons I learned from reading Catch Me If You Can. If that’s any sort of accurate, he’s gonna have a bad time.

        Abagnale is a bit of an unreliable witness. He blatantly overstates his “exploits”.

      I always thought repeated offenses call for harsher sentences, not milder, but I guess here we are now.

      In most western democracies sentences are served in parallel, not consecutively. The US is one of a few crazy places where people get sentences like 3.000+ years, or 161 life sentences.

        In the US, prison sentences can be consecutive or concurrent. It’s up to each sentencing (as provided for by law).

      Well can we seriously assume this man has eternal punishment in hell waiting for him?

      If not we should make his time here confronting and uncomfortable, constantly reminding him off his sins.

      You must be very certain that death is not a quick release of pain and suffering in order to wish it upon these kind of people.
