Rapist's Prison Sentence Triggers Outrage
There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out a 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many,many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven.
The judge said he no longer believes in punishment and is more concerned about rehabilitation.
Why Child Rapist Was Classified Least Likely To Re-offend
A judge's ruling for a sex offender not only raises concerns about sentencing limits, but about Vermont's sex offender therapy program.
At issue is a prison policy that delays therapy for some sex offenders until they are back on the streets.
I don't think that judge quite understands the severity of the situation. Maybe if he was raped repeatedly over a 4 year period... I've got to cut way back on reading/listening/watching the news. This kind of thing is bad for my blood pressure.
