Brent Girouex, 31, an Iowa pastor, was arrested in Iowa for having sex with at least four minors. He admitted to violating the boys to police, but thought he was helping them in an effort to "rape away the gay".

Girouex says he thought he could help the boys by "praying while he had sexual contact" with his victims, and that this would keep them "sexually pure" for God. He told officers that "when they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind."

Since his confession, eight additional young men have come forward to say they were violated by Giroex, former pastor of Victory Fellowship Church in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Girouex was first sentence to 17 years, but a judge reduced the sentence to five years of probation and mandatory sexual offender treatment. He will not spend a day in jail.

His wife, Erin Girouex, spoke out against the reduced sentence and thinks he should be in prison.

"If that's what it takes to get him away from people, then yes ... I don't want (my children) anywhere near him," she told press.

Girouex called on other victims of sexual violation to speak out immediately.

Erin plans to file for divorce, but Brent Girouex was court ordered to be able to visit their children, with supervision by his own mother.

This case has brought repeated attention to lax sentences against perpetrators of sexual violence. It parallels a similar recent case, in which a Montana judge sentenced a rapist to 30 days in jail only after his victim, 14, committed suicide.

Do you think the low sentence of the "rape away the gay" indicates sexual crimes against minors are not taken seriously? What should the judge have done?
