And you thought Dick Durbin was bad....

Al-Reuters

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) -- A Chilean senator convicted of pedophilia received a suspended five-year prison sentence that drew criticism on Sunday for being too weak.

Sen. Jorge Lavandero, 75, pleaded guilty in a plea bargain last week but fired his lawyers just before sentencing and said he was innocent of sexually abusing four children between ages 8 and 12, at his country house between 2000 and 2003.


And sadly, this Sentance is an improvement for the "justice" system in Chile.

but i think lifting his immunity for a suspended sentance is truely a joke.
