Graham James had received the pardon. I had found out after he had received it, and it really gave me time to reflect and understand and take a look at the whole pardon system around sex offenders. That's really where my mind is here. We talk about victims, and yes, there are victims. But I look at this as the Graham Jameses of the world—and it seems to be that every day we pick up the paper and there's a case happening somewhere of child abuse. I believe that by not allowing the Graham Jameses of the world the ability to get a pardon, it's preventing us and our youth from having more victims.
