      No doubt some judge gets crotchety once in a while and deals out a long sentence, but what you’re saying — “sentences for CP are usually relatively light in general” — matches what I’ve seen.

      There’ve been, to my knowledge, two convicted pervs on the periphery of my life. One was a kiddie porn guy, who served a few years in prison and then got out, and we ended up employed by the same company. The other was an actual “lure a kid into a van” creep, who served a few years in prison and then got out, and sang in his church choir.

      The legend of long sentences for perving on kids seems exaggerated.
