Compassion is one thing and justice is another. Regardless of reputation, age, or occupation. This is terrible crime and the punishment should fit the crime. In this case it does NOT..

Good Grief....Where is the compassion for this mis-guided soul? After all, he is a Pastor & has been through counseling already, he is at least trying to do the right thing!

Golly, gee whiz. When he gets out, he will probably assualt a child. The creep ought to be horse whipped,and thrown to his inmates for justice!!! Then the problem would be solved!

If you are a pedo. or a rapist, you shouldn't HAVE a sentence; you should be castrated......

So if you are a pastor who get a lighter sentence on child porn? Where is the justice. If child have been molested would the sentence be the same because of his reputation. When are we going to start really protecting our children, who are the future.
