Why did they even need a plea deal? A simple paternity test should have guaranteed a minimum 10 years. Or was he arguing that she stole his semen and impregnated herself?

On the upside, he wasn’t sentenced to pay restitution to the girl’s father for the loss of her virginity.

There are a lot of questions that I think need to be answered.

I mean, I get that logic, but I doubt it was applied equally in this judge’s sentencing. Something tells me he had no problem hardening black people in prison. I highly doubt if we look at this dude’s record, that he never sent anyone to prison.

Is this one of those elected judges I hear the US have? And why on earth would you want to elect a judge anyway? Are great campaigners particularly renowned for their wisdom and legal acumen too?

How is it that you get more time in prison for watching videos of 12 year olds than actually kidnapping and raping a 12 year old?

But he’s a white man! He just made one mistake! Must his whole life be ruined?

Does it honestly surprise you that girls are of less consequence than the “war on drugs?”

If the rapist isn’t even seeking parental rights, how did this issue even begin? Is this administration just searching the system for single mothers on welfare and using judges to arbitrarily award biological fathers joint custody, all so that their welfare payments will decrease?!!! That adds a whole new level of…

It was a different time. You may not know this, but in 2008, we didn’t really know it was wrong to kidnap and rape children. Just like we didn’t know it was wrong to beat women until 2014. It’s been a very busy decade for us becoming “woken” and stuff.

Thanks for not calling him an “alleged rapist”. He is definitely an actual rapist who was convicted of rape. Multiple news outlets have failed to use correct terminology.

There is so much WTF with this story but...

“Not to be all “white” and stuff” - should’ve stopped there.

Where you just used the word “satire” to define “satire”... God....

Not just the grays. I don’t know how (well, I have some theories...) but they’re - ironically - in the blacks too.

I think it’s time to ship the motherfuckers back to Europe where they belong.

This is truly glorious and the grays are truly going to be frothing at the mouth after this one.

I’m fine with it, as long as it says “These slaves were forced to fight in favor of slavery” in gigantic text under their statues.

Also, because he is old. They never get them when they are just starting out. It seems to take 2 or 3 decades before this behavior becomes a problem. Right about when the power players are lining up to replace him. (whoever he is)
