    Borne solicited someone he believed was underage for sex and encouraged them to make child sex abuse material

    So he got stung by a cop pretending to be a kid. Eh. I’m fine with not having tax dollars pay for his room and board if there wasn’t any actual harm committed. The guy knows he’s going to be under a microscope for the rest of his life, so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.

      That assumes that this person is capable of normal decision-making abilities in the first place. Judging by the fact that he got hit with 35 child solicitation charges to begin with, I’m not gonna hold my breath on him not becoming a repeat offender.

      so I doubt he’ll ever try this again.

      And I’m sure he’s never tried it before either. No point in looking into that.

      Then you’re a naive fool. They should put this asshole down before he escalates to harming an actual child. If he hasn’t already.
