Seattle Vertical World coach sentenced 5 years for 3rd degree child rape.

Out in 2-3 years with 10 months time served already. Can’t imagine the victims and their families are feeling the Justice in this one…

Piece of shit. 

This sentence is totally inadequate,

As a father, I wish the feds had prosecuted this.

Hmm aren't people put in for longer for drug possession 

Chomo’s usually receive a little extra “luv” in the joint. Everyone fuckin hates a chomo 

Why do you feel the need to post such a terribly disturbing story on this platform, especially when it barely relates to climbing ?

The punishment is completely inadequate, a borderline joke. It may be terribly disturbing once coach realizes the realities of prison. It should be.

MP members have kids on competitive climbing teams. Having awareness of these situations is never a bad thing. As a former gymnast, I can say I wish more parents knew what to watch out for. 

A good-to-read cautionary article.

Parents tend to become enamored with the idea that someone could help their child into a sport’s spotlight. It is an obvious vulnerability some will try to exploit.

Feel the need? As a general rule I like to know which of the kids CLIMBING coaches are pedophiles and I’m going to assume other parents do to. Cool?

No, you don’t serve any time for possession anymore. We don’t hold anyone accountable for anything anymore in fact. Site and release, such a great idea. What could possibly go wrong? We drop gang, gun/weapon and violence enhancements too. You can cold blooded murder someone with a butchers knife, go to prison, stab someone there and still be out in under 10. Prison itself has turned into Disneyland. Prisoners run around all day doing nothing but hustle dope and play gangster. They get the best medical care in the world which gives out medical grade opiates like candy to anyone who asks, and it’s all totally free. Paid for by your taxes. They got it so good, many don’t even want out.

I dont really think it is appropriate to go on a rant about prison/police reform in a thread about a chomo. As much as it is important to teach children about appropriate forms of contact, it is also worth mentioning that parents need to be aware of creating an environment where this can happen. I am sorry for all those that have suffered abuse or know someone who has.

It’s completely relevant. The thread is about why this dude served no time. I’m telling you why.

And I agree, we should be aware of creating environments where things like this can happen. We can start with holding people accountable again and not promoting a lawless society with soft prisons. 

Very disturbing he got off so lightly but not surprised. He was a coach and she a child, and I read in a news article (disturbingly posted by someone on MP defending the perp) he fed her alcohol and held her down. As a parent and as just a human being, I feel so sick. I can’t imagine how the parents of the victims feel.

Oh really? What  insight do you have that I’m missing? You’re part of the problem.

You should go to prison and check it out yo 

Parents and the community should absolutely be aware that these people exist and are out in the community. In New Mexico, Kevin Jaramillo, a former youth climbing coach, was sentenced to 57 years (18 in DOC, 39 suspended) for multiple counts of Criminal Sexual Contact of a Minor.  The conviction was for acts outside of his role as climbing coach. In a separate case, another coach/medical provider in the local climbing community was acquitted but lost his medical license.

As for those complaining about light sentences, keep in mind that individuals convicted of a serious sexual offense against a child face lifetime sex offender registration and indeterminate period of supervised parole/probation. Failure to comply with these conditions is a felony in itself.

That said, although these incidents are more common than the public would like or should accept, we probably should not be looking for sex offenders behind every corner.

Haha! I work in one. I’ve spent more time in prison than your average inmate. Which is why I put no weight in most of your uneducated opinions. Perhaps you should take your own advice and get back to us. 

are you not fighting the good fight from the inside brother?
