It's called "white privilege." He should be happy he's not Mexican or black.
WAH! Cry me a river.
Had he been Mexican, he wouldn't have been prosecuted at all - it would have been deemed
"Inherent/Indemic with/to (Mexican) culture", and shame on the rest of us for not understanding such or taking it into consideration! If he WAS prosecuted, convicted and sentenced, MALDEFF, The National Council of La Raza, MEChA AND LULAC would
demand a retrial becsuse they didn't like the verdict or any time served.

"White privilege" my aszs.

As a former Marin resident, I am horrified that Eric Paul Friedlander was given a slap on the hand after ruining a child's life. I am even more horrified that Judge Ritchie so callously stated, "...the young child's life (has) been damaged to some extent."
No, Judge. "Some extent" is not the right term here. Sexual abuse causes lifelong damage that does not show up right away. Just ask any survivor, or therapist who works with survivors of childhood sex abuse. The nightmares, trust problems, terrors, post-traumatic stress symptoms, interference with intimacy, gastrointestinal problems, eating problems, substance abuse problems. These "sleeper effects" are classic.
The fact that Friedlander was not previously convicted or was not a "classic pedophile" will make little difference to the child he attacked. This non-sentence only encourages pedophiles to become predators. After all, there is no real punishment. Fortunately, this child has a mother who pursued the case and a DA who convicted this unclassic pedophile. This little girl was brave enough to speak out at trial, which is helpful in her healing. Her mom probably has her in good therapy, so the worst of the effects of the abuse may be avoided. That does not diminish for a moment the harm done to this precious child.
In addition, there is enormous harm to society. Specifically, the whole Marin community needs to be on alert from this day forward to ensure that an unclassic pedophile is kept far away from children at all times. Who is in prison now?

Hi Eric, this is your conscience speaking. Libido is in hiding right now since as you can see, the community would like to cut it right out of you. But don't worry, it will be back - and it will be stronger and more insatiable than ever. Afterall, you only got one year for all the damage you've done so what's to keep you from ramping up as soon as this dust settles?
Certainly not the courts! And hey, you have the champion and protector of all pedophiles on your side: Bill Fazio. Even though he has a daughter of his own, he doesn't care what you do to other people's daughters; he'll side with you no matter what you've done!(As long as you still have enough money that is - otherwise, he might actually think you're a pervert too.)
So Eric, as your conscience I know I haven't been around much - and I know you don't want to hear from me, but I thought I'd throw this out there: how about moving somewhere else? A quick and easy search on Zabasearch by cutting and pasting your name shows exactly where you live. And turns out, you're merely blocks away from Neil Cummings Elementary School. Seems like that may not go over well with the parents around there.

it hurts to read this sentence, a young girls innocence has been stripped away from her, her life may never be the same because she no longer has a choice. im glad that she was finally able to tell her mom, but when she gets older it will probably scar her that someone who stole something so precious from her only recieved one year jail time....THATS SAD...

"...Under the plea, no prison time was expected for Friedlander, who has no prior convictions, said defense attorney Bill Fazio.

"He's not your classic pedophile," Fazio said."

FAZIO -- please phone me. I cannot believe you said something that STUPID. If you are reading these comments call me, leave me a msg and explain yourself.(or defend yourself in this comments section)

Your client gets off too light. Way to light.

none of you idiots even know what the guy did. what does molested mean in this case, all you judge, jury, and executioners? can you guess why he only gets a year?
and mr. amazon, you wish he were a freak of nature, and do any of you read, it happens every day(and much worse)everywhere... all over the world, and as all you bible thumping right wing fanatics should know, your wonderful loving priests have been molesting BIG TIME! for god knows how long
The responses to your post were to be expected. Defending a child molester is not popular. I agree there must have been a reason he got only a year. The degree of these crimes were perhaps lower than warranted a prison sentence. We make a distinction between one who fondles children and one who rapes them. But to these morons, a child molester is a child molester. One size fits all. They don't have the brain capacity to think anything out.

...so if he only kissed her, it would be ok?...he won't be magically healed, he will continue with his sick ways....he needs to be put down before he goes any further. Maybe if he gets out, he'll do something to your family....I'm sure you'd have sympathy for him then

thanks "book em"... for thinking.

funny thing is, if you actually read what i wrote, i never defended the guy.

and for the rest of you wonderful god fearing people...

let's look at the hypocrisy for just one second. why aren't you idiots crying out for the death penalty when your kind god loving priests RAPE little boys. they've been RAPING them forever and ever!!! RAPE!!!! do you what that does to a little boy??? i never heard of anyone asking for the death penalty for any of them.

and one more question for our intelligent audience... when women(schoolteachers)for example, rape, molest, use whatever term you want, little boys, people snicker and look the other way. WHEN DID ANY OF YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS MORONS EVER ASK FOR THE DEATH PENALTY... EVER!!!! FOR A WOMAN WHO MOLESTS A YOUNG BOY????

can any of you answer these question???
i doubt it.
can you say hypocricy?
i'm listening.

No, it wouldn't be Ok. He should be punished. Believe it or not, I have faith in our judicial system. Let the punishment fit the crime.
