Brad Boda
A former youth counselor at a Longmont church who sexually assaulted boys over a 13-year period was sentenced this morning to 20 years in prison, followed by 10 years to a lifetime of probation.

Bradley Harlan Boda, 39, admitted at the sentencing hearing that he sexually assaulted boys at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Longmont, where he worked as a youth counselor from 1991 to 2004.

He also abused a neighbor boy during that period and a patient when he worked as an X-ray technician at Longmont United Hospital, according to police.

Boda, who has lived in Berthoud and worked as a counselor at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins for years since the assaults, apologized to the victims and their families in court.

â??I do not want you to leave court today with a half admission,â?� Boda told his victims. â??I molested you and I molested your children, and I am 100 percent wrong.â?�

After Boda is released from prison, he will live under supervision on probation for at least 10 years. If he violates the conditions of his probation, he will be sent back to prison.

Chris Bartkowicz indicted: Faces up to 40 year sentence for Highlands Ranch marijuana grow - Denver News - The Latest Word

"If convicted of distribution and possession with intent to distribute 100 or more marijuana plants, regardless of weight, the defendant faces not less than 5 years, and not more than 40 years in federal prison, as well as a fine of not more than $2,000,000. "

I'm sick of hearing about Bartkowicz. Not only did he make the initial stupid error of bragging on television about his pot profits, but when the DEA showed up at his door he invited them in, waived all his rights, answered all their questions and signed everything they put in front of him. He's got a criminal record a mile long for growing and selling. Chris, if you are reading this, you need to find a new line of work because you're no good at growing and selling pot.

LOL, you are right about that.

the point is, though Chris is an idiot, through and through, he's done nothing even close to what the child molester did yet he faces twice the penalty.

Just another example of the injustice within the justice system. Yes Chris was _____ dumb and even after being dumb he handled it dumb. But anybody who has kids and knows anything about pot should be blown away by this.

Release the man with ok pot who's capable of helping the community again instead of taking it easy on yet another sexual predator into the public. (my 2 cents)
