Today I read the documents - many pages - in connection with the sentence of a 17 year old man in our neighborhood. He got two years in prison for talking a 14 year old girl away from a youth party and behind a school building where he thought everything was in the dark. Besides that he had to pay damages to the girl, her parents, and for three lawyers involved in the case.
The parents think he should have served a longer term. This was a 17 year old boy. What will it do to his future?
What about if he had been a grown-up pastor?
