43 year-old Malcomb Kogut read off a five-page statement today. Kogut, the former music director at Saint Gabriel's Church in Rotterdam, began by saying he was wrong to have had oral sex with a choirboy.
"As the adult, I knew that this young man was under the age of 17...I should not have engaged in such an immoral and illegal act,” says Malcomb Kogut.
But Kogut emphasized it was a one-time thing and so should be given leniency.
"It was a blinded moment of temptation and weakness and I promise it will never happen again,” said Kogut
That wasn't good enough for the mother and father who call that single victim their son. They wanted no leniency shown.
"...A 40-year-old man should not be doing this to a minor...taking, you know, his childhood away from him,” says the victim's mother.
