An emotional mother is calling out the system that let down her daughter after she claims her little girl’s baby-faced rapist was given a light sentence because of his appearance.

    The judge’s rationale is that he’d be victimized because of his appearance. If the justice system can’t trust itself not to allow extrajudicial punishment by other inmates enough to give people the sentences they deserve, isn’t that their fucking problem and not the victims’?

      Exactly this fuck should get the 20 fucking yesrs or at minimum the 6. He will reoffend and thanks to that stupid judge it will be soon.

        And he’s still going to have a babyface the second time he rapes a kid, what’ll they do then?

          It could have that babyface all his life depending on genetics. The judges take was fucking dumb. Besides I hear they protect pedos in prison because no matter how they look they will get fucked up.

          So all this judge did was hurt the victim. Shame on him.

        Judge should join him tbh. Incompetence like that cannot be tolerated. Start throwing these chucklefucks in prison for judicial misconduct. It starts with abolishing qualified AND absolute immunity.

    Fuck, I thought this was going to be a date rape or something like that (still bad), but he raped a 12 year old when he was 20.

      At least we know that prizon will be a very bad time for him. Although 11 month… that’s very lenient

    The headline is burying the lead a bit by not saying that the girl was twelve when she was raped. It is not some kid that didn’t understand consent properly. It is a proper predator that groomed a child online and raped her.

      I understand the point you’re trying to make, but it could have been made without this

      It is not some kid that didn’t understand consent properly

      victim blaming bullshit.

      Rape victims, especially those who reached court (which is almost none, so if they have it means it’s a strong case) no matter their age, are not “kids who don’t understand about consent”.

        I think the sentence is referring to the rapist, not the victim (in other words it wasn’t some 18 year old who was with his 17 year old girlfriend)

          Ok, so it isn’t victim blaming, it’s excuse making - rape is rape, not, again, “kids who don’t understand about consent”.

          That comment is 100% unnecessary, and however you look at it, all it is is minimizing what rape is.

    That’s a patriarchal “justice” system for you - always concerned about the future of the men doing all the raping, never about the futures of their victims.
