It seems like fewer and fewer people feel the need to control themselves. This fellow needs at the very least a 72 psychological hold.
Shameful 56 years old you wonder how much other junk he’s done but hasn’t been found out. Needs a good lesson but will probably be released and never prosecuted. Thats why these people get away with it. He should never be allowed to get around another rock as long as he lives. Even if the kid did somethibg this guy sure set a terrible example.
