"He's no different than a street hooker"

Tobin is free on personal recognizance and prosecutors agreed he did not pose a flight risk or a danger to the public.

But U.S. Magistrate Judge James Muirhead ordered him to surrender his passport and any weapons Monday and said he should report to pre-trial services, just like any other criminal defendant.

"He’s no different than a street hooker in Manchester," Muirhead said. "If he’s guilty, then I find his crime as offensive as any other crime."

1. I'm sure it's no coincidence that the judge made a "whore" reference

He could have said "no different than a shoplifter" or "no different than a check forger."
