Mitchell is not 40. He is 35.
Who cares how old he is, hehad a full on relationship with a child. He is a husband and father. Wonder what he would do if a “35” year old was sleeping with one of his children!
I could not agree with this more! Hilarious that clearly a family member is arguing over 5 years. Doesn’t make one bit of a difference there hun
Let the inmates take care of his ass .and they will.the justice system fails on justice for the victim. He will know what hell is .
What a disappointment. I would think a man of God should know how to “not be led into temptation”. He should have reached out for help and never begun or acted on such a transgression.
I believe we are nearing Christ’s return, Satan is in full attack mode and we had all better “stay awake”
