EXCLUSIVE: DOJ Considers Charges For Satanist Pedophile Getting Off Easy In California

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is weighing potential federal charges against a self-described Satanist pedophile whom California punished leniently, First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli exclusively told the 🏢Daily Caller News Foundation.

A court in San Luis Obispo County sentenced former substitute schoolteacher Gregory Kornman in October to eight years in prison for possessing and distributing thousands of child pornography files, but California law allows him to serve only half the sentence, according to San Luis Obispo District Attorney Dan Dow’s office. Essayli, a President Donald Trump appointee, said he is willing to intervene in the situation when the DCNF reached out for comment.

“Four years in prison for this horrific and disturbing conduct is inexcusable, and is yet another documented failure of the State of California to keep the public safe,” Essayli told the DCNF. “I have instructed my office to review this case and determine if there are any federal charges we can bring to ensure this individual remains in custody.”

Police caught Kornman masturbating in his car in March while employed by the Bonita Unified School District in San Dimas, sparking an investigation that uncovered more sinister intentions, local mediaoutlets reported. Law enforcement found more than 3,000 videos and images of child pornography on his devices, including infant abuse, as well as messages in which he indicated plans to buy a windowless van so he could kidnap and abuse children.
