OMAHA, Neb."” A judge had valid reasons for sentencing a 5-foot-1 sex offender[/b] to probation, even though she cited the offender's height as part of her rationale, the Nebraska Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.[/b]
An examination by a clinical psychologist and the results of a test used to determine the risk that Richard W. Thompson would reoffend both indicated that Thompson, 52, is neither a pedophile nor a sexual predator, the court said.
District Judge Kristine Cecava of Cheyenne County sentenced Thompson last year to 10 years of probation for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl.

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

Judges like this should be required to house these criminals next door to their children or grandchildren.

Judges like this should be stripped of their judgeship, disbarred from practicing law and sentenced to the same max term this puke should have gotten. Even better, house the judge with this scumbag for the next 10 years and see if the judge's opinion about propensity to reoffend changes. [:@]
