Judge Throws The Book At HIV-Positive Lawyer For Soliciting Sex On Internet From, And Then Forcibly Sodomizing, 14-Year-Old Boy

If by "the book" you mean "90 days in jail."

Ninety days in jail. For solicitation of a minor. Plus forcible sodomy.

To be fair, this might not be what we think of actual rape; maybe it was consensual but the statutes don't allow for consent at that age, and thus deem sex with a 14-year-old "forcible." It's rape one way, a vicious violation the other way; still seems like the bastard should get more than 90 days.

Oh yeah-- and whatever it was, he exposed the kid to HIV, too. Just as a little added bonus.

And the judge said he was imposing this, um, draconian sentence because he "expected more from a lawyer."

Ergo, he would have given a non-lawyer less time in jail for soliciting sex with a minor and knowingly exposing him to HIV infection.

If we're not pissing you off, then by gum!, we're just not doing our jobs right.
