Nobody should be comparing Mailloux to Miller

That's like comparing someone that punched a guy in the face at a bar to someone that went by a guy's house every morning and punched him in the face as he left the house

I have a hard time blaming Logan in this whole thing…

I mean, the kid ASKED teams not to draft him. He wanted to drop out of the spotlight for the year, “pay his penance”/show his maturity then earn his spot back. It was the Habs that decided “dur, he play hockey good, we draft anyway” as a 1st rounder no less! (Increased attention and scrutiny)

I think the negative outcry for what he did is well-deserved, but the team is the ones that look bad here, he has been trying his best to turn it around and deserves his 2nd chance ..altho he will absolutely get chirps for the next few years, and that’s fine too…some wrongs don’t wash away that easy. But I’m not rooting against him (well, I AM rooting against him because he’s a Hab, but you get what I mean)

Your arguing that he is a sex offender based on some stupid Swedish interpretation has as much relevance as if Canada classified a jaywalker as a terrorist. He was obviously in Sweden on some type of visa, can you explain how this terrible sex offender was not deported as soon as he completed what was mandated by the court? In Canada a sex offender would be on the first flight out after completing his sentence.

Ah whataboutisms, noice.

If u want to assume there's 60+ or so other sex offenders in the league just to make you feel better about habs signing a sex offender, you do that. Habs is still the only team that has publically done so.

The fact that you think that every single team in the league has at least a couple is wild, especially since multiple teams chose not to draft him because of this. I chose to believe that most teams wont draft, sign, hire and defend sex offenders though.

Calling a teenager who gave a few friends a photo where you can't even see the girl a SEX OFFENDER is hilarious.

I'm sure you've never made a mistake or hurt anybody's feelings in your entire life.

The harm came from him showing the picture 😂

I’m sure it’s completely harmless as long as you’re laughing at the girl behind her back, then it’s completely fine.

As someone with a daughter, Do I ever hope some of you NEVER have sons.

Who was it intended to harm? Wasn't that the claim, he intended to harm? Is it like when your ears ring and someone says SOMEONE IS TALKING ABOUT YOU? He showed the pictures and she felt pain?

The idiocy came from him showing the picture, she was harmed when she found out he did the idiotic thing.

So there’s no harm in something as long as the victim never finds out?

As I said before, I really hope for future daughters that some of you never have sons.

I haven't followed this too closely. IMHO something that would help his case is if he did a lot of public community service, doing something to support organizations that support rape victims or victims of sexual harassment and abuse. Something to really show that he understands the gravity of what he did and is proactively helping victims. IMHO he should be going above and beyond to make up for what he did.
 
Seems to me he got the appropriate punishment in every instance. Had to stand trial and was declared guilty in a court of law and sentenced to a fine. Had his name dragged in the mud because of his own actions which is also justified, then suspended by his team and had to go through some kind of rehabilitation.

To me that's the perfect response to a 17 year old committing a crime like this. First he was punished and then a path to redemption was laid out. Now he gets a second chance, hope he doesn't mess it up.

He never truly said sorry to the poor girl just a got his agent to write a" fake Apology"

How someone can get rewarded for such disgusting behavior is beyond me

Every post you've written in this thread has been wrong. There were no reports of this in Sweden except rumors because the offender was a minor. The news wrote about it after the conviction, they did not get the ages wrong. you did. He is not a convicted sex offender. Not here in Sweden, not in Canada, not in the USA. He's convicted of defamation, which in Sweden is a crime even if what you're saying is true, and offensive photography, which can be anything from nude pictures without consent to someone not liking you taking a picture of them walking their dog. None of which are sex crimes.
In Sweden, just because a crime has prison time as a possible penalty it doesn't mean "had he been older he'd be in prison". It all depends on the severity of the crime. He wasn't 'lucky' to get away with a fine. He would have gotten probation and a lesser fine if they thought he'd be staying in Sweden. Probation in Sweden means you talk with Kriminalvården once a month and that's it. You could argue the fine he got was the harder punishment.
With the things you make up you've committed half the crimes as Logan did. Maybe you too should be fired and never have a chance at anything ever again.

The kid made a mistake. All eyes will be on him to mess up again, as they should. He still deserves to have the chance to prove he's a better person.

I feel like there's been some game of telephone where people think he raped or sexually assaulted someone. He didn't. He took pics of someone he was having sex with when he was a child. Obviously bad and criminal, but there's a pretty big difference. I don't understand how that warrants him never getting a chance to play in the NHL. I would also imagine the shitstorm he had to deal with has already made him grow more as a person than the average 19-year old.

It's a sex crime. Information was out way before conviction.
Prosecutor stated that they would seek prison time if he was older and the interpretation of the law has now changed so that youth will be convicted the same as adults for serious crimes.

They opted to not go for community service in addition to the crime.

Official info from BRÅ, your example with the dog would be put in a different category of the crime "offensive fotography"
There are three types, the most common one is a sex crime. you can read about them here:
