Christopher Hudson of Centennial Colo. — whose own mother describes him as a “threat to society” — will serve just five years of probation for molesting his younger sister and her childhood friend for years.

Hudson, 30, committed most of his crimes before he turned 18; therefore, an adult court judge transferred his criminal case to juvenile court. If he had been tried and convicted for the counts of child sexual assault as an adult, he could have faced life in prison, according to KDVR.

Arapahoe County juvenile judge Natalie Chase ruled that Hudson will spend the first three years of his five years of probation in Community Corrections, where he will work by day but spend his nights in custody. He must register as a sex offender and receive intensive sex offender treatment therapy.

But his mother, Beth Johnson, doesn’t feel as though the punishment fits his heinous crimes.

Nikki Hudson is now 24, but from the ages of 7 to 14, she was her brother’s victim. She was 22 when she went to authorities after her mother learned of the abuse she faced.

In part, Nikki felt it was her duty to come forward when her brother became a security guard at nearby hospitals, including Children’s Hospitals Colorado and Sky Ridge Medical Center.

“I”m not a parent but if I was and I realized that my kid could come in contact with a perpetrator I would want to know, I would want to protect my child,” she explained.

She had the support of their mother.

“I felt the need to come forward and out him because he is a threat to society,” Johnson said. “If he’s a threat to his own sister and did this to his own sister what has he done to somebody else?”

Johnson believes her son should face at least 30 years in prison. “I think the public is in danger with him free … it’s incredibly difficult to know that one of my children is a perpetrator and one is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.”

A judge will rule on restitution in early June. Nikki Hudson is seeking over $18,400 to cover past and future therapy.
