Soooo many legal questions I have. For starters, the courts didn't consider him a flight risk?

"Puello-Mota was supposed to show up in a Rhode Island courtroom on Jan. 9 and plead guilty to possessing sexually explicit images of a child and other charges that could have sent him to prison for at least five years, his lawyer, John M. Cicilline, said in an interview with The Boston Globe.
Cicilline said Puello-Mota told him the day before that he had other plans.
“He said, ‘I joined the Russian army,’ or something like that,” Cicilline told The Globe. “I thought he was joking.”
Cicilline also told the newspaper that Puello-Mota wanted a career in politics and thought being charged with possessing child pornography had ruined his life.
“I’m sure he joined the Russian army because he didn’t want to register as a sex offender,” Cicilline said."
I mean - these days if he would join a certain political party being a sex offender would probably help his career...
I just...yeah. I'm not sure what to think about the timeline we're on anymore.
