A man has sex with his daughters for a decade to show them how to be good wives (conveniently forgetting they were daughters). What astonished me is the last line;
Judge Lovell gave full credit for the man's guilty pleas, saying he was genuinely remorseful and had a good chance of rehabilitation as his wife and the church remained supportive.
Some mother. That's a horrible story and a lamentable ending.

I cannot get over how often sentences are reduced becuse the person feels remorse. of course they feel remorse. Apart from a few sociopaths, everyone feels remorse AFTER they have been caught.

& 'genuinely remorseful?' I guess judges can tell this sort of thing, as this one similarly must be aware of those factors indicative of a 'good prognosis'for thosewho prey on the trusting and vulnerable ... although to believe this, I guess he would also have had to believe the rest of the story too ... so it took over a decade to teach them? ... slow learners?
His wife and his church remain supportive. Supportive of him? What about some support for the daughters who have been abused for years? They seem to be more in need of some support, especially from their mother. I won't even start to rant about the church.
