I looked and could find no previous thread for this guy. This is appalling, IMO. He claims to have found Jesus. That is wonderful. But I think I'd need some assurance from Jesus himself that there's nothing to worry about here.

Los Lunas [NM] Man Convicted of Child *advertiser censored* Free
"A Los Lunas man who was sentenced last summer to a dozen years in prison on child *advertiser censored* charges was set free Tuesday.
Joel Large, 44, of Los Lunas, who was convicted on charges that involved producing child *advertiser censored* and providing alcohol and cigarettes to underage boys, walked out of court a free man.
Thirteenth District Court Judge William Sanchez suspended the remainder of the sentence and placed him on five years' probation after Large said he "found God and Jesus Christ and plan to devote my life to doing good things."
and
"....Large's brother, J, told the judge Joel didn't commit the offenses purposely. "He was just messed up on drugs The Bible talks about mercy," JL said. "My point, your honor, is that my brother deserves at least one chance; it's his first offense."
and
"...We feel that the court gave him a significant break already at sentencing," [Assistant District Attorney] Reed said. "This is not just a couple of pictures on his computer. He had hundreds of pictures that were copied on CDs He has all the indications of being a sexual predator, and he needs to be incarcerated for the protection of the community."
