He will be assessed but it is not impossible, unless the judge recommended that he serve the full 3 years or even 2 years, that he could and would be eligible for consideration for parole after he has served a third of his time.

This is what is wrong with the law and 3 years even served to the maximum is too short, he had the lad in his house, whether the lad had gone with him voluntarily or not is irrelevent, the lad was only 12, he didn't take him there to play computer games or give him just treats,that is why I would love to see 'with intent' added to charges like this to take in the possible serious consequences that could have occurred,especially shall we say as to if the lad suddenly wanted to leave.What then may have happened.

Children, vulnerable or not should be able to feel safe with adults not be groomed in this way for rotten and perverse reasons and desires.
