This is sickening. Yet another indicator that our society and even our town is too meek to punish those that have permanently harmed and altered the lives of the innocent.

He looks like a real pillar of society. Way to go, Collins...

Shocked, saddened, and disgusted by this. Sorry for the victims; hopefully they have been able to move on and will be able to continue to.

For all your comments on here about Mr Hanson and his appearance, a Real Pillar of Society and so forth Don't judge a man by how he looks ! This man whether he was or was not guilty You don't know him personally ! John was a Hard working man for years and years and all thru these years he has battled Cancer thru out his body and much more adverse things in his life. God knows all about this man and He also knows about your sins as well ! Don't throw stones from your glass windows and Judge not least You Be Judged . Pray for all of those who are involved and yourself as well you need it

Lulu

Judy, I believe the saying is "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones." Let's at least strive for some accuracy. This piece of crap ruined at least two lives (wouldn't I love to read those illiterate "apology" letters); how many more victims never came forward? The only action I wish justice would take is send this slithering creep back under a slimy rock to live out his remaining miserable days with the rest of the underbelly of society. If you, Judy, represent Christianity, count me out.

I've known this Mr. Hansen for years. What a disgusting human being. He used to do some car work for my parents and relatives. Had I known this was what was laying under the surface/closet, I would never have had anything to do with him, and would have turned him in. I'm sooooo disgusted and heart-broken that he did this to these poor young men. He will be judged by a higher power. Collins... you should be ashamed of yourself for that poor sentence (if you can call it that). We pay taxes for this kind of justice? Or lack thereof?

Lulu

Also consider how this creep won't be lurking around the more prosperous neighborhoods where these judges undoubtedly can afford to live. He'll gravitate to streets and locations we wouldn't want tourists visiting: places like trailer parks with an overabundance of children and minimal supervision.
Rest assured, Collins, he won't be bothering you or your colleagues.

@Judy. How you can defend such a creature is beyond me. We certainly are right to judge this individuals' actions, and since you say God knows all about this man, and He does- just remember what God said would befall those who harm children. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that excuses his behavior, what he has done is evil, pure and simple. R. Beninger
