I guess I hadn’t kept up with this case. I thought it turned out that there was a state minimum sentence of a couple of yrs and he would have to serve that time?
This is outrageous. Why is Montana being this lenient? I thought this was supposed to be a state that still has something resembling actual justice. This is gonna give arrogant leftist elitist East Coast and West Coast megasnobs tons of ammo to use against the red states in general. I am dismayed to say the least that those who presided over this case were willing to give leftist jerkasses that ammo.
This incompetent judge should be thrown off the bench, disbarred if in fact he’s a lawyer and finally spend time in the slammer with this pervert if he has time added to his sentence.
The pervert and the scumbag judge who sentenced him need to be hounded out of the company of human beings and driven into the wilderness, there to share the same cave until they die and the coyotes gnaw their bones.
The outcry from women’s groups”
...why is it always women’s groups?! I’m a 55 year old white male, and I’m just as outraged!! This isn’t just a “women’s group” issue!
I believe the judge will soon learn that releasing this monster in a timeframe so close to the public outrage over the sentence, will come home to haunt all concerned.
Eh, switch the sexes around and you have what’s fairly typical as far as sentences are concerned for this type of thing. Also, doubt the suicide had much to do with the affair but more indicative of just how messed up the young girl was to begin with. He was convicted of sexual intercourse without consent which is statutory rape since a person under (16-18 depending on the State) can not legally give consent rather than forcible rape so I would assumed that what ever happened was mutually agreed to. Certainly his life is over as he’s now a convicted sex offender and that will follow him around for the rest of his life.
I’m not familiar with the case but just had a few thoughts about what I read.
I can recall way long ago when rape was a capital crime. Other than murder, I can’t think of a more vile crime that could be committed against a woman and I agree with the death sentence. Then the feminist got their dirty mitts on the definition and made a joke of it.
Then their was statutory rape and I honestly don’t recall the penalty but it was also severe. Whether the offender was 14 or 54 didn’t matter, but today it does and that isn’t right. Part of the problem is the sexualization of young children and the schools keep pushing the age lower and lower, and lower it will go as the LGBT perverts push their agenda for child access. The young girl involved here may well have been a victim of this deviant education system as well. There is an age of consent for a reason and to corrupt children before they reach that age is a crime, in my opinion.
The guy committed statutory rape and should pay for that. The girls suicide is tragic but who is responsible for that? Who sexualized a young girl without the emotional maturity to handle the consequences? There is a lot more to this case than meets the eye and I’m sure there are other people that could be implicated and should be punished as well.
” The state attorney general has appealed for a longer sentence to the Montana Supreme Court”
I don’t get this. Of course I think he should have been given longer time. But he had his trial, was guilty and was sentenced. He served his time. Is he to be recharged and then taken back to court. Somebody please explain why this is not double jeopardy.
Unfortunately Montana has a lot of libtards. The rural areas are conservative but most of the large cities, the governor (bullock), and their two U.S. senators are all libtard dhimmicrats (tester and baucus). The senate and house of reprehensibles are majority republican.
Who gravitates towards judgeships in such an environment? Libtard perverts.
