Redeker sentenced
Considering none of you know the specific details of what actually happened, I don't see how you can come to such harsh conclusions as to the sentencing. Hang him? Let me tell you something, if you think he needs to be hung for what he did, there would be a lot of dead people out there today. There was no physical contact. There was a short period of electronic communication. I'm not condoning the actions, but the punishment is plenty. Especially considering he can't even go into restaurants. Put it this way, I know many of the details and don't let your imaginations run too wild with this. There are a lot of factors involved that led to it and it doesn't take much these days for something to be a felony.
He is a good kid that has done a lot of good in his life. Various circumstances led to this situation. He will now pay for his mistake for the rest of his life. Nobody feels worse about it than he does. He has accepted responsibility for his actions and will now pay for them. It's time to forgive.

Student teacher facing charges
All teachers, student teachers, and future teachers need to learn from this and realize that the consequences are harsh for even the smallest improper communication with students. FYI, if a student sends you an improper photo...requested or not...and you respond in anything but a strong NO - boom - you can get charged with a felony (i.e. sexual exploitation). In addition, any communication that can be construed as inappropriate can also get you a felony...a felony for each instance of this communication. Facebook can be a very dangerous thing. Learn from this people!
