This is no harmless old man, no matter what his son says. I have seen first hand what just being in the same room with this man does to one of his victoms. BTW... Christian Jr is a sex offender too.

How sick and disrurbed. After admitting to the allegations his sons tried to get the judge and media to believe he was a harmless old man.

Why did they let him out???
