Default 45 Days in Jail For Rapist

Quote:
She could have sentenced him to 20 years in prison after he admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl in her high school.

Instead, a Texas judge gave the defendant a 45-day sentence and probation after implying that the victim was promiscuous.

Judge Jeanine Howard told The Dallas Morning News that she based the sentence, in part, on medical records indicating that the girl had had three sexual partners and had given birth.
To make matters worse this bat ordered him to community service at a rape crisis center.

Quote:
Young, who was a schoolmate of the victim’s when the rape occurred in 2011, was ordered to serve 250 hours of community service at a rape crisis center. The center later said he was not welcome there.

“Just having a criminal defendant in the office could be a triggering affect for many of our clients,” Bobbie Villareal, director of the Dallas Rape Crisis Center, told CNN affiliate WFAA. “It’s just not appropriate.”

Meanwhile, Young is serving his 45-day jail sentence. If he compiles with the terms of his probation, he won’t have a conviction on his record.
So in 45 days and 6 weeks 10 hours of work it's like it never happened, except for the victim of course.
