this is the problem. this is the problem meet Richard Mallard Richard Mallard of Utah Richard Mallard was arrested in July for 41 count 41 41 counts —sorry 41 counts of child exploitation 41 both uploaded and downloaded most of which were prepubescent children some of it the audio was so bad that the detectives on the case had to turn the audio off because they just couldn't take anymore 
[0:33]
that is why he was arrested but don't worry don't worry— he was held without bail —which is a relief, right? oh wait except that changed. he's out now. you wanna know why? because there's multiple people wrote letters into the judge and told the judge what an upstanding citizen this man is listen we know we know what he did however he willingly served a mission he's a good man who helps other people he's always ready to help his fellow man 
[1:04]
he's a good person and a man of god and somehow … somehow… because Utah is Utah that worked I don't know when people are gonna get it through their heads but a man who will download and upload see Sam who will download and upload images of small children being sexually abused of anyone being sexually abused but of small children being sexually abused he is not a good person if anything you should be scared that somebody who thinks this way 
[1:36]
who enjoys this who can take part in this activity of trading images of child sexual abuse could represent your church that should horrify you I am so tired of hearing this the same thing happened when my now former husband was arrested for sexually abusing our daughter his own biological daughter there were people who wrote in letters there were people who showed up to tell the judge what an upstanding man he is 
[2:10]
what a good person what a good husband and father he was what a trustworthy and dependable man and then I connected with other mothers who were going through the same thing a year later a mother from my town went through the exact same thing and sure enough I went to support her at her husband's and now her former husband's sentencing hearing and I heard the same shit the same he's a good man 
[2:41]
he shovels his neighbour's driveways he's always willing to help out and lend a hand what who cares I I do not care what they are willing to do for their next door neighbour how many driveways they ploughed I don't care how many community classes they taught don't you understand all of that is a cover and even if it wasn't even if it was one of those things where 2 things can be true at the same time let's just remember then 2 things can be true at the same time so sure maybe you saw him being a good neighbour 
[3:14]
a good friend etcetera etcetera etcetera that should not ever be a reason that you will write in to a judge in defence of somebody who takes part in abusing children literally I'm not even exaggerating I'm not like trying to make it sound worse than it is this is a man who uploaded and downloaded who traded images on the platform on kick so he asked for them and he sent them to people and from people 
[3:45]
I'm sorry there is nothing there is nothing that cancels that out so multiple things can be true at the same time you can possibly have seen this person do good things or be a a missionary or be upstanding in one way or another it doesn't matter all of that all of that is cancelled out when they do things like this okay but like can't people change you know shouldn't people be given the chance to redeem themselves so people can make themselves better etcetera etcetera right their treatment and all that sure however 
[4:17]
that is irrelevant right now what was done caused damage and nothing you did in church nothing you did for your neighbours makes that damage less therefore it's irrelevant
