<p>In cases like this, the punishment will not end with his release from the brig. If you rob a bank or beat someone within an inch of death, after you serve your time, you leave prison as an ex-con. Yes you leave with a record, have requirements to meet, but your name isn’t added to every local database in the country as a sexual predator, nor is it accessible by anyone with a PC and internet access. I have to believe Ronan will leave jail and pick up a level 3 sex offender status. That status will impact where he can live, how he will be received and the jobs he can hold. It will most certainly bring with it a host of issues that will impact his life in a negative way. As a doctor and an educated professional his time in jail time may prove to be the easiest part of his punishment to deal with.</p>
