Retired Brig Gen Frank Sullivan, convicted connoisseur of pre-teens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The KoB sends in word that this retired Air Force general officer, who plead guilty to five felony counts of possessing child porn, after being charged with 15 (fifteen!) second degree felonies for possession of child porn and one third degree felony for criminal use of a communication facility, has been sentenced. He spent his career<\/a> as an engineering officer in a Red Horse squadron (a specialty civil engineering unit similar to Navy Seabees) and served in both Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

It’s these four tours, described as “combat tours”, that led him to answer the siren’s song of pedophilia. As reported by Local 21 News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The charges stem from a raid of his Hampden Township home in October of 2019.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Attorney General says, the search turned up computers with thousands of searches for “preteen” images, as well as pictures of children \u201cengaged in very graphic sexual acts.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I don’t know about any of y’all, but\u00a0my\u00a0<\/em>PTSD issues haven’t driven me to child porn. I don’t know why anyone would suddenly become attracted to “preteens” after coming down with “post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and insomnia,” his conditions according to his lawyer.<\/p>\n

The judge bought it though. Since this sexual deviant was once one of the highest ranking officers in the state of Pennsylvania, the judge gave him a light sentence. Very light actually, even for a first time offender.<\/p>\n

PennLive reports;<\/p>\n

\u201cI accept full responsibility for everything,\u201d the 69-year-old former Hampden Township resident said as he stood before President judge Edward E. Guido. \u201cI damaged friends, family\u2026countless thousands.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guido sentenced Sullivan to 5 years of probation and fined the former general $2,500 on his guilty pleas to five felony charges of possessing child porn.<\/p>\n

Sullivan was wracked with emotion as he spoke to Guido. He broke down at one point, then barely regained his composure.<\/p>\n

He talked about the burden borne by those in the military and how deployments can leave them feeling as though the rest of society has simply moved on without them. \u201cSometimes you think it\u2019s impossible to make up that distance,\u201d Sullivan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know how much time I have left on this planet. But in the name of the Lord, I\u2019m going to make it up\u2026to those I\u2019ve hurt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Guido said his decision on Sullivan\u2019s punishment was partly influenced by the ex-general\u2019s \u201cdistinguished\u201d military career. However, \u201cFirst and foremost the defendant has shown real remorse and has taken steps to address the underlying psychological problems\u201d that led to his crimes, the judge said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Five whole years of probation.\u00a0Thank him for his service. When you do, just don’t bring the kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
