You’re implying he’s innocent and wrongly convicted then?
jtledhbg618
There are *famous* cases of wrongful conviction for childhood sexual abuse. The satanic panic alone, that's dozens of wrongful hangings.
I'm not saying he isn't guilty in this case, obviously. But an imperfect system will inevitably and systematically kill the wrong people.
NineN12
No but people often are. You start executing left and right, you’ll start getting wrongful executions. And for what? Quick punishment?
Better to just let them rot in jail with what they’ve done. That’s a real punishment.
No, but I’m not okay with any innocent person being executed and have little faith in our justice system to have such a high degree of…

We could do a lot of good with just one well trained sniper and a lot of money. Like get rid of child rapists for one.

And it was right. Ask ID. No ID? Ok a minor. All adults have ID.
You're saying he deserved 8 yrs, losing his kids, being on the sex offender registry for life, because he didn't check for an ID?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
If the law said that you didn't have to check, then people could use that as an excuse for sex with minors.
As if "the law" is fair and objective? Come on, man. I've never checked for an ID with a new partner. Have YOU checked every one?
Getting away with rape is extremely common. Even rape of a minor. In fact it's the norm, rapists are more likely to not go to jail than /1

Yup. I had a friend who was raped, and her rapist went to the police and confessed. He still didn’t go to jail and wasn’t found guilty.

It's likely because they can't prove it with any physical evidence as people are scared to report, especially minors.

Propaganda rule #1 - Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty

Except Republicans as a party are not supporting child rape in any way, shape or form.
Also, the rapist is a Democrat. He lost his seat after being defeated in the 2020 Democrat primary by Phil Meyers.
SoThatsWhere
Don't think this is on the judge. Heck, the one presiding over the gun charge said she'd have sentenced him for longer if the law allowed it
I think we’re talking about the child rape
I'm talking about how the sex charges were "dropped", not dismissed, which means it was done by the prosecution.
Yes the prosecutors are part of the problem. They made a deal with him to get the guilty plea because it’s the easiest one to stick
HardDoseOfReality
Not disagreeing with you but what number would you put on the sentence?
Dagordae
Life. Repeated rape of a child=permanent removal from society. Either life or death.
Part of me thinks repeated rape of an 11 year old should be penalized with death. At least 10 years in prison.
mike13815
Well right now he's getting zero jail time, so pick any number and it's better. He also didn't plead guilty to sexual assault, no registry?

i'm not who you originally asked, but this got me thinking. I'm a survivor of CSA, and for me, i'd have wanted them in until i was-

mthrndr01
Prison. Duration I'm less clear on, but fuck house arrest for this.
Well, what are the sentencing guidelines for repeatedly raping an elementary schooler? Let’s start there.
Azkle
Apparently it's 42 months house arrest.
Nope. That’s for one count of assault and battery. This is the problem.
Aelonwy
I would put death. Child molestation should be an executional offense.
craque
zero tolerance for any offenses towards minors, death penalty doesn't feel right, your justice system is too flawed for that not to be abuse
also death penalty is too easy, keep them alive and make them suffer, make them wish they were dead
No. Innocent people would get executed if it were. Our system is this fucked. It’s that fucked too. Nice long prison term. Also, 2/
BlueLanternBraxx
They would just end up on death row for 15 years while everyone jerks over appeals
Because no innocent people have ever been executed after being wrongly convicted of murder. **checks history** Oh.
Kiddie diddlers are not welcomed nicely by other inmates. Many have kids. Child rapists get fucked with big time.
IdiotSavantTinker
A condition for house arrest should be the public posting of your address and what you've done.

jomi20806
Did the person in question admit his guilt? Because this one did

I’d personally just put them to death. Why keep them around for the rest of their life? Just put them up against a wall or find some rope.

Can we execute you when someone is exonerated then?
CharlieandOliver
We execute enough people in this country who are later exonerated thank you very much.
DarkRedCape
You’re implying he’s innocent and wrongly convicted then?
jtledhbg618
There are *famous* cases of wrongful conviction for childhood sexual abuse. The satanic panic alone, that's dozens of wrongful hangings.
jtledhbg618
I'm not saying he isn't guilty in this case, obviously. But an imperfect system will inevitably and systematically kill the wrong people.
NineN12
No but people often are. You start executing left and right, you’ll start getting wrongful executions. And for what? Quick punishment?
NineN12
Better to just let them rot in jail with what they’ve done. That’s a real punishment.
CharlieandOliver
No, but I’m not okay with any innocent person being executed and have little faith in our justice system to have such a high degree of…
CharlieandOliver
..accuracy. But nice straw man.
Eldis
So, how are you going to take action against the blatantly corrupt law system? I don't have any ideas on how to help from over the sea.
Splitlicker
We cannot. Political appointments & graft have ruined the system but the politicians who run it all want it that way.
Eldis
This is untrue. You can mass strike, for example. You need to organize.
Tiberyn
We could do a lot of good with just one well trained sniper and a lot of money. Like get rid of child rapists for one.
Eldis
I mean, as tempting as the idea is it'd create martyrs and escalate right wing violence to full blown civil war.
Tiberyn
Feels kinda like we are heading there anyways. If someone took out Trump and Micconnel long ago this country would be a better place.
Splitlicker
Ask the railroad union about this. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/12/02/business/railway-labor-act-freight-railroad-strike/index.html
Eldis
Fuck, I can see American police actually enforcing this by jailing the strikers.
Splitlicker
Since it's now illegal, they certainly could. It's more likely a military branch would be used though.
GarmBlack
This is less white privilege and more rich/ conected privilege. I don't think any regular Joe white person would've gotten that deal.

If he was a rich black man his chances of getting this deal diminish greatly.

Ehhh maybe. Like you still don't see a lot of rich black men in prison.

Friend got 8 yrs when his internet hookup, who said she was 19, turned out to be 15. She admitted lying to him in court and it didn't matter
SergeyPrkl
And it was right. Ask ID. No ID? Ok a minor. All adults have ID.
FriendlyNeighborhoodGrammarPerson
You're saying he deserved 8 yrs, losing his kids, being on the sex offender registry for life, because he didn't check for an ID?
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
If the law said that you didn't have to check, then people could use that as an excuse for sex with minors.
FriendlyNeighborhoodGrammarPerson
As if "the law" is fair and objective? Come on, man. I've never checked for an ID with a new partner. Have YOU checked every one?

It's likely because they can't prove it with any physical evidence as people are scared to report, especially minors.

Wtf is conspiracy to possess? You either have it or you don't. It's why when they do fake deals, they give you the stuff before arresting...

Seriously, what is "conspiracy to possess?" Were you trying to buy drugs or something?

Repeatedly raped a kid under 11 years old... 4 years house arrest. The justice system is fucking broken.

Justice schmustice. We have a legal system

It's entirely fucked up that you can commit a crime, there be proof, but if you just admit to a part of it they don't charge you for it all.

Should have had a fucking decade for each year under 18 the poor kid was

Working as intended. Meaning it works for the rich and well connected.

Republicans made sure to pack the courts before they left. And then claim dems are the ones packing the courts.

The rapist is a Democrat. He lost his seat after being defeated in the 2020 Democrat primary by Phil Meyers.

Propaganda rule #1 - Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty
arfysdad
And claiming Dems are grooming children, all while raping children themselves. Assholes, all of them.

Except Republicans as a party are not supporting child rape in any way, shape or form.
ApacheStache
Also, the rapist is a Democrat. He lost his seat after being defeated in the 2020 Democrat primary by Phil Meyers.
SoThatsWhere
Don't think this is on the judge. Heck, the one presiding over the gun charge said she'd have sentenced him for longer if the law allowed it
robbieeeeee
I think we’re talking about the child rape
SoThatsWhere
I'm talking about how the sex charges were "dropped", not dismissed, which means it was done by the prosecution.
robbieeeeee
Yes the prosecutors are part of the problem. They made a deal with him to get the guilty plea because it’s the easiest one to stick
HardDoseOfReality
Not disagreeing with you but what number would you put on the sentence?
Dagordae
Life. Repeated rape of a child=permanent removal from society. Either life or death.
NonMAGA
Part of me thinks repeated rape of an 11 year old should be penalized with death. At least 10 years in prison.
mike13815
Well right now he's getting zero jail time, so pick any number and it's better. He also didn't plead guilty to sexual assault, no registry?
BatLadyRielle
i'm not who you originally asked, but this got me thinking. I'm a survivor of CSA, and for me, i'd have wanted them in until i was-
BatLadyRielle
18.5 (otherwise worst bday present ever) and able to get away from their influence. so my abuser would have been in for... 9 years?
mthrndr01
Prison. Duration I'm less clear on, but fuck house arrest for this.
hogeyegrex
Well, what are the sentencing guidelines for repeatedly raping an elementary schooler? Let’s start there.
Azkle
Apparently it's 42 months house arrest.
hogeyegrex
Nope. That’s for one count of assault and battery. This is the problem.
Aelonwy
I would put death. Child molestation should be an executional offense.
craque
zero tolerance for any offenses towards minors, death penalty doesn't feel right, your justice system is too flawed for that not to be abuse
craque
also death penalty is too easy, keep them alive and make them suffer, make them wish they were dead
hogeyegrex
No. Innocent people would get executed if it were. Our system is this fucked. It’s that fucked too. Nice long prison term. Also, 2/
BlueLanternBraxx
They would just end up on death row for 15 years while everyone jerks over appeals
hogeyegrex
Because no innocent people have ever been executed after being wrongly convicted of murder. **checks history** Oh.
hogeyegrex
Kiddie diddlers are not welcomed nicely by other inmates. Many have kids. Child rapists get fucked with big time.
IdiotSavantTinker
A condition for house arrest should be the public posting of your address and what you've done.

I support vigilantism against convicted child rapists, why do you defend convicted child rapists?

Pretty dumb take my dude. Why do you hate the justice system?

You don’t have to defend child rapists to oppose vigilantism.
