Because they're guilty too.
Ned Brady Hansen, the Tremonton, Utah fire chief was arrested for the alleged s*xual exploitation of children. He was released from custody by Judge Kevin Christensen despite a request to hold him without bail.
Recently Judge Christensen was also arrested after it was reportedly discovered that he had engaged in s*xual communications with fire chief Hansen which included chats about s*xually abusing children and even having a s*xual relationship with each other.
This level of corruption is insane!
