Dunno about you, but when I was 19 the thought of raping a child never crossed my mind. He's spent less than a year in prison, and hasn't repented for what he did. Redemption has to at the very least come with an understanding that what he did was wrong.

Any particular reason they don't start Dupont? They looked much more alert once he came on. He definitely plays like a 15s nine though -- you could see it in the lines he ran

Damn, that's depressing.
