Both men crawled through a basement window on multiple occasions to r∗pe a 15-year-old boy. Both manufactured child p*rnography. Same victims. Same crimes. Same plea. Judge Derek Vaughn sentenced Bergstrom to 30 to 50 years — with Nebraska's good time law, he'll serve 25 years in custody. Then Judge Vaughn was promoted to the Nebraska Supreme Court. Judge Rich McGowan inherited Perry's case. His sentence for the same first-degree sexual assault? 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. His sentence for manufacturing child p*rnography? Three years. When prosecutors stood up in court and asked McGowan to consider the sentence his predecessor had given the co-defendant for the exact same crime, McGowan's response was recorded in court transcripts: 𝘑𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘝𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘳.

The reporter who broke this story emailed Judge McGowan directly asking how he rendered a sentence below the state statute minimum. 𝗠𝗰𝗚𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱. This isn't a story about judicial discretion. Judges have latitude — but not to ignore mandatory minimums. Not to hand probation to a man who r∗ped a child. Not to look prosecutors in the eye and announce that he answers to no one. A 15-year-old boy was r∗ped repeatedly in his own home. One of the men who did it will spend 25 years in prison. The other will serve three years — if that — and walk on probation for the sexual assault itself. 𝗜𝗳 𝗮 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗮𝘄.

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin. She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc. We got to know each other well for over a year, dated for four months, engaged for two and a half, and didn't sin sexually with one another. Our first kiss with each other was at the altar on our wedding day (reaction pic attached!). We've been married for over five years now, and she's been the most wonderful and godly wife, mother to our three children, and homemaker you could imagine. She's more pure than most virgins, as biblical purity has less to with past sins (though they certainly matter) and more to do with one's current posture of the heart and daily decisions to honor the Lord (Matt. 5:8). We're far too quick to forget the story of the woman labeled as a known "sinner" (likely a prostitute) in Luke 7:36-50 who was washing Jesus' feet with her tears while kissing them too. The Pharisees were shocked that Jesus let a public sinner do this. Jesus responded with a parable about debts being forgiven and ended with this powerful conclusion: "Her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little" (Luke 7:47). Everyone seems to highlight the benefits of virginity, and it certainly is a blessing. But we forget to highlight the benefits of being forgiven much as well. My wife knows the depths of Jesus' forgiveness more than most people, enabling her to more easily live out a life of passionate love for her Savior. A woman or man's past sexual sin matters. But what matters far more when it comes to deciding who to marry is if the person is truly born again, if their repentance is real, if they truly have a heart for Christ, if they truly follow Jesus and obey his commands. "God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world ​— ​what is viewed as nothing ​— ​to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence. It is from him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom from God for us ​— ​our righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, — in order that, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'" (1 Cor. 1:27-31) "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, and see, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17)

"Computer games are not art" One of the most prominent people to say this was film critic Roger Ebert in his 2010 article "Video Games Can Never Be Art". Then there are Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, both expressing that games aren't art. Spielberg specifically said something along the lines of "the second you get the controller something turns off in the heart, and it becomes a sport," arguing games struggle to create the same deep empathy or emotional connection as films because of the interactive/sport-like element. Hideo Kojima (the game designer behind Metal Gear Solid), doesn't consider videogames art, emphasizing that "true art radiates purely from the creator without the interactive compromises games require." "The second you get the controller something turns off in the heart" - probably the line I disagree with the most. I am not saying all games are art - just like not all books or movies or paintings are qualifying to be it. But how can you look at some of these games and say they are not art? Literally just looking at them, not even playing them. How is this not art? If it touches you on an emotional level, and stimulates your creative and playful mind, lets you remember and feel things - isn't that an essential aspect and key element of art?
