Aaron Mohanlal was a teacher in South Florida when he forced a young boy to have sex with him repeatedly over a two year period. He was convicted on 13 counts, sentenced to a 43 years prison term and has yet to serve a day in jail. Mohanlal was given a rare bond that allows him to remain free while his case is tried on appeal. "Everyone has a right to a first appeal" is the only thing Mohanlal's attorney will say in regards to the case. What about the victims right to justice? Or even the communitys? Who wants a convicted sex offender living and working in their neighborhood? A teacher is supposed to be an adult that is trusted by everyone, especially young people. He has proved that he is dangerous and someone to be wary of. Other students at the school even testified in the case against him. He wears a GPS monitoring system but was not even ordered to stay away from children. How is man who preys on children given so much freedom? To read more on this story:
