Ex-banker gets deal in child molestation case- No felony, no record

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — An ex-Michigan bank president accused of molesting a 6-year-old girl has pleaded guilty in a deal that could eventually clear him of felony charges and keep him off Indiana's sex offender registry.
St. Joseph, Ind., County prosecutors charged 43-year-old William C. Peterson with felony child molesting. The South Bend Tribune says authorities accuse the 43-year-old Granger resident of fondled the sleeping girl in May 2008.

St. Joseph, Mich.-based Edgewater Bank fired him soon after he was charged.

His trial was to start Friday. Under Tuesday's deal, he'll be sentenced in 2014 on misdemeanor battery charges and will be cleared of felony penalties if he sticks to court-ordered terms.



They include staying away from the victim, continuing psychiatric counseling, attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and abstaining from drugs and alcohol.

Wonder how much that cost him.

I imagine 'the deal' involved more than what it says.

our homeless shelter won't even let him stay there. women & kids about, you know, & since all "sex offenders" are uncontrollable maniacs who rape three-year-olds, they can only get into a male-only shelter, and sometimes not even those.

landlords won't rent.

jobs -- hard to get when you're a "sex offender".

but the banker walks.

"sex offender" label is all about the surveillance state for the peons, get out of jail free cards for the rich.

may justice be served, not denied. Brings the term Bankster to a new level of.........scum

:tinfoilhat:

hook for abusing a SIX YEAR OLD. :mad:

and another set for the rest of us. We're serfs in our own country.
