Hi! I created the following archive link(s) for this voat submission:

6 months?? Sick fuck judges must love his kind.

Yes, another slap on the wrist. He will be branded for life and his lucrative career as a lawyer and juicy contracts are over. But what he will try to get away with will not stop. We know that once a pedophile, always a pedophile. We should lock THEM up, not our children.

Pearce’s McAllister Street apartment in the Tenderloin was raided in May 2015, when authorities confiscated devices with photos and videos of boys as young as infants being held down and raped. More than 600 images showed minors engaged in sexual conduct, Deputy District Attorney Alexis Fasteau said.

The political career of Pearce, a lawyer when the investigation began, quickly ended after his arrest. The $5,000 a month consulting contract between Pearce’s Left Coast Communications and Lee’s re-election campaign was terminated soon after he was taken into custody.

The investigation began after a man reported an online chat in which a user tracked to Pearce’s computer wrote that the idea of “sharing a boy with another man is really hot,” along with phrases like “do you perv?” and if he was “lookin to explore 8-12,” according to Sgt. Candiece Lewis of the police special victims unit.

Pearce’s phone also held more than 100 images of children unaware they were being photographed at spots throughout the city, Fasteau said.
