Child molesting priest doesn't think he did anything wrong...

Even though he admits to 280 counts!

German priest admits 280 counts of sexual abuse

A German Catholic priest has admitted 280 counts of sexual abuse involving three boys in the past decade, saying he did not think he was doing harm.

Named only as Andreas L, the priest told a court in Braunschweig that he had first abused the nine-year-old son of a widowed woman parishioner.

After being banned by his diocese from making further contact with the boy, he abused two brothers, aged nine and 13.

(snip)

The priest on trial in Braunschweig faces a minimum prison sentence of between six and six and a half years.

All pedophiles deserve life sentences. What they do to children is a life sentence. It's only fair.

And doesn't think he did harm. Many pedophiles don't think they are doing something wrong, just something that's illegal. Many of them think, in their twisted world view, they are helping the child. It's sick.
