Remember Michael Lohman?
He was that Princeton math graduate student who was caught secretly cutting the hair of female Asians and taking it home to fulfill his masturbatory fantasies. He was also fond of carrying around a vial of his precious bodily fluids. After his arrest, Lohman confessed to secretly spraying the contents of the vial onto women, and to pouring them into the drinks of women - all Asians.
So, what did they end up doing with Lohman after taking him into custody? Flog him? Castrate him? Incarcerate him for a long run as the butt boy of some cell block stud?
No, no, and no. . . You see, Lohman entered a pretrial intervention (PTI) program, “avoiding a possible criminal conviction.”
By entering the pretrial intervention program (PTI), Lohman must pay a $125 fine and commit to a program of psychological counseling, according to a report in the Princeton Packet. If Lohman does not meet the requirements of the three-year program, he could face up to 18 months incarceration for each charge against him, the newspaper reported.
Well. . . Throw the darn book at him, why don’t you?
But don’t worry, folks, Michael feels really bad about everything. And he’s accepting responsibility about it . . Honest. His lawyer even said so.
“Michael is remorseful about everything that happened,” Lohman’s lawyer, Kevin Main, said in an interview today. “He feels bad for the people it happened to. He feels bad for his family … I say he’s accepting responsibility for it.”
According to authorities, even if Lohman had stood trial and been convicted on all counts of cutting women’s hair, and pouring urine and semen into their drinks, about the worst punishment he could expect would be probation.
Main stressed that had Lohman’s case been taken up at trial — and had he been convicted — he would likely have not faced jail time. “Essentially, he would have been looking at probation,” Main said. “By no means do I mean to minimize the seriousness of what happened, but these were fourth-degree crimes. Fourth-degree is as low as you can go.”
The state of New Jersey is convinced that their PTI program works.
According to the New Jersey Judiciary’s website, the PTI “seeks to render early rehabilitative services, when such services can reasonably be expected to deter future criminal behavior.”
Apparently the state of New Jersey is unaware of JP’s Law of Sexual Offenses, which states: Any crime that involves a tumescent male member is always repeated.
This report was inspired by a proposal originally submitted by Danny Bloom.
Welcome to the America of the Future, where any crime, however nasty and malevolent, can be forgiven if you just say you’re sorry! Why waste billions keeping criminals segregated from a wounded society when you can just let them back out onto the streets with a pat on the back after an apology! Who cares if it’s sincere or not, it’s the act of apologising that counts!
Sadly, if this is his first offence he probably will just get probation. Jails and prisons are so horribly overcrowded thanks to “tougher” drug and alcohol sentencings that most first offenders skate.

July 8th, 2005 at 8:57 amI like that idea.
July 8th, 2005 at 1:18 pmYeah that’s fucked up
July 8th, 2005 at 2:37 pmSimple castration? Too easy. I say strap him naked in a chair and get an Asian woman to stroke his dick til it’s hard, then quad-wrap an industrial-strength rubber band around the base. Let him stay there watching as the blood blackens and eventually rots until his dick falls off. Invite any of his victims to stop by and mock him whenever they like.

July 8th, 2005 at 10:38 pmRemember that scene from ‘Fight Club’ when the waiter jacks-off into the creme-bisque. Next time you eat out you should bear this in mind, I’m sure it happens more frequently than we imagine.
July 9th, 2005 at 10:26 amI guess it’s all in the presentation. Whack off into some girl’s coffee, and the howling mobs will be calling for castration and treatment suitable for a serial killer. Creme-bisque in a movie on the other had, and all the lads laugh about it.
July 9th, 2005 at 1:35 pmYes, that’s true.
July 10th, 2005 at 2:48 amI say make him eat his victims’ shit. Nah, that’ll probably just turn him on. Make him eat his OWN shit instead.
July 10th, 2005 at 11:43 amWhy does a single white guy’s crime become “symbolic”? If black man rapes an asian woman, would that be “symbolic” as well? No, it would be viewed as race-baiting to say so.
This guy s disturbed but even more disturbing is the racist hysteria surrounding the case of an individual criminal. Criminals are criminals. Keep race out of it, you racists!
