"I think you are a sexual predator," Circuit Court Judge Paul A. Hackner said. "I think you are out there looking for people who are vulnerable and taking advantage of them."

But after reviewing what he perceived as a weak case against the man, Hackner brokered a deal that would send Jasyen Aaron Shelton to jail for only 18 months. However, the judge could still lock him up for another eight years if he doesn't turn his life around.

Judge:"I think you are a sexual predator"; "This is nowhere near what you deserve". Then he, basically, lets the guy go. What do you think will happen, Judge?

I don't know what is wrong with people like him but they seem to be afflicted for life. Hope as I might, I am sure this is not the last we hear of him. He is sick and that will not change. We shouldn't give breaks these kinds of people. There will only be more victims.
