Whats Ken Starr up to these days? According to Virginia court documents, the famously pious former Clinton prosecutor recently pleaded with a Fairfax County judge to let a confessed child molester go free. Because hes a family friend.It was just one of dozens of letters sent by as many Washington, D.C., and New York City power playersincluding former ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson, a former aide to Laura Bush, a former GOP congressman, and a powerful partner at the insider law firm Akin Gumpwho wrote in praise of Christopher Kloman, a 74-year-old retired Potomac School teacher who has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting several female students under the age of 14. Kloman received a 43-year prison sentence in October.
According to the Washington Post, Kloman estimated that he molested girls less than 10 times from 1966 to 1985, sometimes by luring them to a isolated location under the guise of helping them with homework. One victim, the paper reported in October,
said Kloman invited her and a friend over to swim at his house after a seventh-grade field trip. [...] But once in the pool, Kloman pulled her onto his lap, pinned her arms behind her back and thrust against her, she testified. Sullivan said Kloman held her so tightly his arms were like lobster claws.
Another victim, Laura Gill, testified that Kloman pinned her down and assaulted her in the basement of his home while his family was upstairs when she was 14 years old. The rest of Klomans victims were the same age or younger. The youngest, who was 12 at the time Kloman molested her, sparked an investigation in 2011 when as an adult she discovered Kloman was substitute-teaching at her daughters Maryland grade school.
Yet Starr, a retired federal judge and former Solicitor General who single-mindedly pursued a criminal investigation into President Bill Clinton sparked by Clintons sexual behavior with an adult, signed a letter to Kloman's sentencing judge arguing that community service would be a more appropriate punishment for someone who repeatedly sexually assaulted children entrusted to him by their parents.

Dear Assholes,
Pedophiles cannot be cured. He hasn't reoffended because he was locked up.
All of you should have to spend 6 months working with abused kids so you have a clue what they go through.
If it was up to me, he would never see the light of day again.
PS Maybe you should check with your kids if they were around him and find out if they have been holding something in.

oh, they can, but I am anti death penalty. Pedophiles make it very hard for me to keep that stance, though.
