A man who just pleaded guilty to sexual assault of a child is now allowed to go on vacation. WHAT THE ACTUAL EFF?!
This very shocking news comes from across the pond where Matthew Thompson pleaded guilty to 10 offenses, including assault of a child by penetration, sexual assault of a child, sexual activity with a child, and taking indecent photos of a child.

The 10-minute hearing not only saw the pedophile own up to his disturbing offenses, but it also included a very unusual plea. With the help of his lawyer, Gillian Batts, Thompson requested permission to leave the country just a few weeks ahead of his sentencing to attend a pre-planned and presumably already-paid-for vacation to Greece! And the judge said yes!!! Literally, how did someone allow this? It sounds crazy!
After submitting his guilty plea, Thompson’s legal representation said he wished to go on a week-long vacation to the Greek Islands. He was scheduled to fly out to Kos on Thursday — and he’s in luck since he won’t have to change his plans. Seeing as Thompson was already out on bail after he was arrested for the alleged sexual assault, Judge Jonathan Gibson said he wouldn’t revoke the bail and agreed to let him travel. Wow. WTF.
Speaking to the sex offender in court, Judge Gibson said, via the BBC:
OK, this guy has to be rich, right? Who else gets away with this kind of nonsense?!
