Based on what? We don't punish people for having fantasies.
You wondered how the forensic psychologist could reach the conclusion that he was not sexually attracted to children and was a low risk to reoffend. The answer is that is a not an unreasonable conclusion based on his history and best statistical evidence.
Whether he should get 9 years regardless of potential for recidivism simply because of the shittiness of the crime is different issue.

We’ve probably passed at that very spot and not known 🤣 it’s one of my favorite spots to go walking.

It was an ad campaign from like the 1970s.
The loving thing is possible but also loving doesn't really want to associate too much. Like some will mention that we should have a statue about loving and the family keeps saying no.

If you live in Henrico, the landfill may be able to take them. They have a recycling portion and I imagine if anyone can take it, it’d be there will the various collection bins they have.

I suggest looking into the support a birth doula and postpartum doula can provide. Richmond is full of them!

I plan on throwing mine in the new larger bin. Either that or hopefully they just take the old ones when the new one arrives.

this is a weird argument. not having a legal history means nothing. I could go out tomorrow and murder someone. by your own argument since I have no history of behavioral issues, drugs, alcohol whatever, I should be viewed as low risk? I know murder is a different crime that can’t be compared to possession of CP so use whatever crime you want. argument still stands. possession of CP is a crime that enables a very serious problem. as long as there is demand, minors will be in danger. someone down below already responded to you about trafficking so i’m not going to repeat what they said again.
these reports from 2018 show that 76.5% of offenders had little or no criminal history. so should that many people be given leniency because they hid this side of themselves from the world and didn’t get caught until they did?
There’s a huge line in the sand if your fantasies include children being used, in any degree. I’m not sure what exactly you’re arguing here. Yes these people need help, yes these people should be punished. those two things are not mutually exclusive.

Ditto. I love the beach, but I also LOVE going to the mountains. I don’t feel like I need to travel out of state to get different experiences, or to meet people for a wide variety of backgrounds and beliefs.
Usually I travel out west to the mountains in the fall and winter. Travel to wineries (not quiet as far west) in the spring. Travel the VA east coast and 757 in the spring and summer.

It is a challenging diet as soy seems to hide in so many things! Luckily, I am not avoiding soybean oil or soy lecithin currently. I really appreciate your insight and tips for this diet. It is a nice perk! I do not think I have ever been this healthy 😂

Thank you! I have never heard of Sen Organic. I looked at their menu and it is amazing. They are incredibly organized with their allergens. I’ll have to try it out.

I think part of the fun of it is spotting trains unexpectedly and learning their habits, much like birdwatching. :D

Stella’s has a separate space for larger parties. We went there for my salons holiday party! The food is great and the space works well for larger parties bc there’s sitting areas so you aren’t confined to your dinner chair the whole time. Perfect for socializing and cute pics!

The recidivism rates for sexual offenses is pretty low in general. I'm sure this is partly due to under-reporting but that's still what the data says.
The biggest red flag risk factor here is the sexual abuse as a child. But we don't put people in jail for 9 years for that, we give them therapy and it usually helps. We also don't punish people for being poor, or having drug addictions which are correlated risk factors.
If you have no history of prior inappropriate behaviors, no alcohol or drug issues, no mental health/personality problems, and no socioeconomic factors working against you, the evidence points at you not being a big risk.
Basically, most people can and do look at and fantasize about all kinds of weird shit and still never act on it. And they can even stop looking at that weird shit if the future consequences are dire enough or they get treatment for their addiction.
