![RESPONDENT: Referring to Your Honor. Now, I'm
assuming Your Honor denies you're a child predator; would
I be correct in making that assumption?
*12 SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 4: Mr. Clark, make
your argument, please.
RESPONDENT: Well, my point is I don't believe it's up to
you to decide if you are a child predator. You -- I'm sure
even child predators, like all child predators, deny they're
child predators. So, you know, for you to decide whether
or not these are true certainly is a problem. I mean, they
basically are true, Your Honor. I mean that's one of the --
the defenses, you're scowling, but one of the defenses --
I mean, the 1st Amendment protects true statements. True
statements can never be contrary to the 1st Amendment and
these are true statements.
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 4: As an officer of this court,
are you saying I'm a child predator? You, not your client?
RESPONDENT: I'm saying that is a true statement.
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 4: Is that your argument?
RESPONDENT: It is a true statement that given the actions
of this Court you could correctly be described as a child
predator.
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 4: Are you describing me as
a child predator?
RESPONDENT: I think that is an accurate description.
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 4: Okay, thank you.
RESPONDENT: Again, looking at the fact that this Court
has separated [S.M.] from his children for two years
without any conceivable reason, the children are going
through torture. The family is going through torture. But,
again, you know, we say you're a child predator, you say
you aren't. Well, I -- I don't think that's a determination for
Your Honor to make.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:qlqfq3wnq4yl4xfr2nsol3v2/bafkreiajkrkg7zg3sfp4mfydqr3n5otrc6ercwfm7uxgugkdbiyp352qhi@jpeg)
