No prison stay for 5-foot-1 child molester

SIDNEY ? A man found guilty of sexually assaulting a child has been given 10 years of probation by a judge who said the man was too small to survive prison.
District Judge Kristine Cecava of Cheyenne County sentenced Richard W. Thompson, 50, Tuesday on two counts of sexually assaulting a minor.
?What you have done is absolutely inexcusable,? she said.
His crimes deserved a long sentence, Cecava said, but she expressed concern that the 5-foot-1 Thompson would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.
?Can I make other children safe from you?? the judge said. ?You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child.?
But, she said, ?That doesn?t make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category.
?I?m going to try to put together some kind of order to keep you out of prison.?
He will be electronically monitored the first four months of his probation, and he was told to never be alone with someone under age 18 or date or live with a woman whose children were under 18. Cecava also ordered Thompson to get rid of his pornography.
He faces 30 days of jail each year of his probation unless he follows its conditions closely.
?I want control of you until I know you have integrated change into your life,? the judge told Thompson. ?I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced.?
Too Small For Prison? Give Me A Break!

I think that's bloody ridiculous. The dirtbag piece of shite deserves to be locked up and who gives a rats arse what happens to him once he's in there? He deserves whatever the hell he gets as far as I'm concerned and being paired up with a big bastard named Bubba sounds a perfect idea.
People like that should be someones bitch in prison. Maybe that'd teach him and he'd think twice of abusing some poor innocent child in the future.
I think the judge is a complete lunatic. If she had a child and they were abused by a 3 foot midget I'm sure she'd send them straight to lockup.

A few weeks ago on a US News Show (like panorama / 40 min.s) they set traps for pedos, showed them coming to a house & being confronted by the host & cameras... as they left the house they were arrested...
All are in jail now (thank the gods)....
Anyways, this is relavant...
One of the guys wasn't even 4' 6".
I think he may have only just topped out at 4 feet... he couldn't even get on a barstool without it looking like he was climbing everest...
No worries about him being out & about... he was jailed.. no mercy because of being short.
The guy was an idiot anyways... he was arrested 3 days before he was due to start a jail sentance for the same crime.
He did't touch a kid, he was caught 'soliciting' a minor with intent over a chat room on the internet...
