| Topic | Former cop avoids prison despite admitting he raped teen while working in school |

The "expressed horror" is just Rawstory bullshit clickbait. The man pleaded guilty, and one of the things the judges need to do is assess if the person is actually remorseful, as this affects the sentence. Letters from friends and community leaders are usually presented as evidence that the person is a good member of society and should be given leniency. These letters go beyond that and call into question the man's plea, which is somewhat troublesome to the judge as they indicate he might not really believe that what he did was wrong/criminal. --- - The Admiral ...
