“And not erstwhile has this tribunal heard you authorities immoderate remorse — immoderate interest for these young ladies,” nan judge continued.

“It’s not nan 2 girls successful this lawsuit that request to change. It’s not society, it’s not your mother, your grandmother,” Brower said. “… You are successful request of treatment. You are successful request of alteration successful your thought processes.”
