    “Plead Guilty” … If it was a railroad, as he states in the article, I think I’d have gone with an innocent plea.

      Not defending him, but that kind of deal is made all the time for that reason. You’ve been in jail for 2 years and get told if you just say you’re guilty you can go free. If you maintain your innocence, you’ll still have to wait out the trial and face a longer sentence than the plea deal if found guilty.

      Though admittedly, I might be willing to spend more time in jail if I was truly innocent of kiddy diddling. As this article is evidence, that shit will come back to bite you.

        I’m leaning towards “he’s lying, and is guilty”. But who knows the world is crazy anymore.
