Micheal should never be realeased. Theres more victims than the police know. This situation has permanently affected these children and their futures. The torture and trauma edured is unexplainable and disgusting. I have been with one of the victims for about 3 years and we are working to change the pattern of this pain and trauma. Life of probation isnt enough, he deserved life.
