There is something about little Neil...

This is an offbeat news at CNN, brought to you by "American justice at its best" candybar:

http://www.infoniac.com/offbeat-news/sex-offender-posed-as-12yo-boy-to-attend-schools.html

A 30 year old man posed as a 12 year old student and attended school and although he didn't committ any sexcrime, he got 70 years! No shit.

"Despite the fact that authorities found no proof that the man committed any offences, police found in his home a large collection of porn."

For comparison, if you detonate a nuclear bomb in the middle of Madrid, you can only get 40 years...That is the max. punishment by the Spanish justice system...

I assume it was child porn, otherwise the story is really strange.

I mean here's the thing:
if you buy child porn you are essentially paying people to sexually abuse kids.

Even if it was childporn I think 68 years would have been enough.

70 years is just cruel...

Yes, 98 is less daunting than 100.
