A Tasmanian magistrate has described child sexual abuse crimes by
former Anglican priest Louis Daniels as "heinous" as he sentences him
to six years in jail, but who'll be eligible for parole in four years time.

Seriously?  A mere four years for a third-time sexual offender?

         

The Supreme Court of Tasmania heard the offences were committed
at a time when Daniels was considered a "highly respected"
clergyman and a prominent leader in the Church of England Boys'
Society.

The judge said Daniels's years of sexual abuse against the boys had
caused lifelong trauma.  "These are heinous crimes committed
by a predator by means of terrible breaches of trust," he said.

So... having said that, and considering Daniels was a repeat sexual
offender, is four years a sufficient sentence?     I'd say no way.

It should've been for the rest of this 75-year-old's natural life.
