IDK, but you can't keep breaking the law, and have penalties stop. So it won't be one-and-done.

Yeah, but in this case you have to weigh it against the penalty for being proven guilty.

Maybe indefinite detention, and a chance at public attention is better than life in prison as a convicted child molester.
