NY Daily News That’s chutzpah.
A Jewish pedophile who publicly professed his love to the boy he
molested is now trying to beat a federal sex rap by claiming he and the
child victim were married.
Andrew Goodman, 28, stunned a Brooklyn state courtroom last summer when
he turned to the traumatized teen and said, “I fell in love with you,”
before a judge gave him only two years in prison for years-long abuse
that started when the kid was just 12.
Then just as Goodman was about to get sprung from jail after time
served, the feds in October 2012 charged him for taking the
then-15-year-old across state lines to Atlantic City, where he sodomized
him and took him to dinner and a Kid Rock concert.
Goodman now faces a life sentence if convicted.
Unbelievably, the defendant, who's representing himself, argued in a
motion to dismiss the case that the trip, on Valentine's Day 2010, was
for his and the boy’s nuptials.
“The union resulted in a honeymoon, feasting, celebratory concert
attendance,” he wrote in papers filed in Brooklyn Federal Court last
week. “A valid Jewish Wedding and Marriage occurred.”
The document points out that Jewish matrimony is allowable at age 13
and does not require parental consent. It fails to mention that Jewish
Law forbids same-sex relationships and it doesn’t offer proof of the
so-called union.

It is amazing that this convicted lowlife believes he is impressing anyone with his "logic". I guess it says something for how sick pedophiles really are. I am personally aware of his history, and there is no way he should ever be permitted to walk among us. I have not a care in the world whether he spends his days in prison or in an institution, as long as we are free of his existence. I feel no differently for all the other pedophiles, whether convicted or not. Klal Yisroel is better off with them away from us.
