Live from Graham James sentencing

[Wanker]

Is the judge NUTS???.

"Judge says public humiliation endured by Graham​

should be a mitigating factor in sentencing."

The judge is off his rockets. I want to see him or his kids get it up the ass from Graham and see what his thoughts will be then.

Added Sheldon Kennedy, a former NHL player who was also abused by Mr. James: “Obviously it’s not a sentence that we all want to see. The sentences don’t come close to the damage that it leaves in its wake.”

We need to send these guys a clear message. I'm thinking about 10 years minimum would be a good starting point.

 

[McGuinty]

Only 2 years for this :shocking:

Todd Holt and his cousin Theo Fleury, who played in the NHL. Mr. James assaulted both hundreds of times over the course of many years while they were teenagers,

And a repeat offender.

This is Mr. James third conviction for sexually assaulting teenage boys.‬ ‪In 1997, he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for assaulting two other players, including former NHL player Sheldon Kennedy. Mr. James served 20 months before being released on parole.

 

[McGuinty]

Yeah sure :banghead:

But the judge also pointed out that Mr. James expressed remorse, apologized to his victims and has experienced what she called “an extreme degree of humiliation”

 

[BEER]

Let's hope he becomes someone's toy in jail.

 

[peace]

The judge should be fired but then again, the way our legal system is set up, pedophiles get away with everything. THis is truly sad and disgraceful and it is time for people to stop approaching this issue as a taboo. Noone wants to talk about it and if we continue to ignore or neglect this sensitive issue, more victims will continue to suffer. I personally think James Grahma should be sentenced to 20 years or more. Cant believe it...only 2 friggin years???? Meanwhile many of those victims will struggle to lead a productive healthy lifestyle. Geeez there are people who have committed lesser crimes and get sent away for more than 2 years!

 

[peace]

Let's hope he becomes someone's toy in jail.

Let's hope the victims receive the help to manage their pain. (I didnt say "overcome" as this kind of pain just sticks with you for a long time. )

Theo Fleury and Todd Holt call Graham James sentence ‘a national travesty’


https://www.thestar.com/sports/hock...t-statement-on-the-graham-james-sentence?bn=1

I stand here today, on behalf of not only myself and my cousin Theoren Fleury, but as a voice for every man.
For all the young boys, the old men and the ones that got stuck somewhere in between because of the most devastating type of abuse; sexual abuse inflicted on us by someone in a position of trust and authority.

Theo and I were two of those who got stuck in that middle place between boy and man; we made some terrible choices and watched the life we were meant to lead spiral down the drain.
No longer.

Theo and I speak to men all over and we tell them: You, like us, are not alone; the effects are far-reaching and sometimes feel never ending, but there Is a place and time for healing. It is Now. I stand here today, a Victor over sexual abuse and I along with Theo, offer you our voice.

This sentence today is nothing short of a national travesty because we know that childhood sexual abuse has reached epidemic proportions in our country. Graham James once again perpetrated his crime and spread his sickness right through the courts of Canada.

He conned the judge with his “poor me” and “I regret” statements. His lawyer defended the indefensible, and he’s been rewarded for doing so and Graham James is laughing all the way back to the life he’s always led knowing that justice for him is but a blip on the radar.

Today as we speak there is a boy out there going about his life, dreaming his dreams and hoping his hopes … until … Graham James crosses his path. And cross his path he will, because that’s what he does; he preys upon the unsuspecting all the while knowing not much will happen to stop him.
The courts of Canada have guaranteed that. The saddest part is that there are Many Graham James; different names, in different towns and cities, in your own communities and yes, possibly even in your own families.
Yes, I said it. They are everywhere.

It is time that the predators know that they need to take notice and be scared — there is no place for you to hide; we are shedding light in those dark corners where you cower.

Theo and I call upon all Canadians, those who have suffered, and those who stand with the suffering, to demand that our government change the laws and empower justice to be all that it could be, and to do all that it should.

We are calling out to our politicians to stand up for the one in three girls and one in five boys who will be sexually abused before the age of 18 in our country. We are standing up against a weak justice system and demanding change now.

Theoren and I are calling out to You, the people of Canada and the World to take this issue Now, to our politicians, and Demand change. Ask for, and receive answers, for Change and Real Justice, or simply refuse to cast your vote for that constituent.
My name is Todd Holt and I stand today, with Theoren Fleury, and with All those who have suffered or are suffering, as a Victor over sexual abuse and an Advocate for change.
