"According to court documents, Todd Chisholm, now 59, had an affair with the child's mother which ended in 1998, during which time he started sexually “grooming” the child.

About four years later, he sexually assaulted the victim, the first time in Vernon, at 11 years old and a second time, also in Vernon, at 14, acts he admitted to in court in front of Windham County Judge John Treadwell.

...

According to court documents, Chisholm confessed to assaulting the child to the pastor of the Advent Christian Church in Vernon."

On Wednesday, Chisholm, of North Brookfield, Mass., pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of lewd and lascivious behavior with a child, accepting the state's offer of four to five years, all suspended except for 30 days, and six years of probation with no early termination.

I don't get some of these sentences for the all these sex crimes with kids.

The only thing I can ever come up with, and it's assuming, is the prosecutors just don't have enough to take it to trial and want to get some punishment.

I can't imagine being a parent of this child and having to explain to them that their abuser got off with a slap on the wrist. It's just wrong on so many levels. :mad:

I think I read that she's an adult now or at least older and she's going to make a statement at trial. Not sure how I would find it though.
 
Doesn't look like a Drag Queen to me, so how could a nice straight looking white guy like him be "grooming" kids?
 
This is the kind of crap you wind up with when you relax morals, ethics, consequences for a person's actions, all types of deviant behaviors. It all leads to more and more conduct like this because people who are prone to this feel they can get away with it of if caught they will not be dealt with harshly.
There are reasons for laws, rules, expectations and penalties.

What kind of judge hands out thirty days for rape unless that judge is also a rapist?

It is he said she said most of the time and don't forget that this is a "W" in the DA's record. Politics plays a huge part... probably bigger than justice.

He should spend thirty days, or at keast a few minutes, in a wood chipper.

That's a great point. We don't ever see religious people raping little kids.

The parent of the child was the girlfriend of the abuser...
 
He should be breaking rocks on a chain gang with other pedophiles.
I have a more humane view - a pedophile is someone who has a sexual orientation where they feel about pre-pubescent children similarly to how others feel about adults in romantic and sexual attraction. I view them as tragic victims in a sense for having that. And I support protecting society from them, trying to help them void harming children, and punishing (imprisoning) them if their condition leads them to crimes against children.

Okay--a chain gang in a leper colony.
