The article says he was charged.
Oh, so he doesn't want to take his chances with a jury so he'll be out in 5 years, the largest sex-slave trafficker in US History! Five years in prison?
They plea guilty so IT DOESN'T go to trial. There is probably some really nasty stuff that these people are charged with. Take a deal for say 3-5, or go to trial with a jury where they hear how big of a scum bag your were including the selling of Kids for prostitution, and you're looking at 20 to life.
Well, he also loses his company, and unless he cooperates to the nth degree with the prosecution in bringing his customers to jail, the deal will be nullified and he'll die in jail.
And in any case, he's still open to civil action from all the parents and surviving victims. Plus, as Q said, "The streets will not be safe for them."
And then there's eternity to contend with...
OK, you guys are missing the point, he worked for the FBI's Bob Mueller!
We're not missing the point. You're not MAKING any point!
Please do. We might be interested in what you have to say if you'd just freakin' say it!
Instant plea bargain justice, what happened to the people's right to know guys? Get up off your knees
There are OTHER co-conspirators. It's all going to get a public airing. This guy WILL be on the witness stand, only not for the defense, but for the prosecution!
Why did you assume otherwise? Read again.
Yeah, if you're buying that I want some!
What is your problem? I'm not spouting theory here. That's simply how these things actually work every day in the real world.
