Disgusting. The rationale is that the criminal is 16-years-old and thus technically a child himself, but this soulless pervert will rape again, with the aid of the judge who thinks child rapists just need a little therapy:
CLAY CENTER, Kan. — A 16-year-old boy has been sentenced to three years probation for raping a 3-year-old girl.
District Judge Bill Malcolm sentenced the Clifton teen to probation for his conviction on raping the 3-year-old. He was also convicted of attempting a sexual act. Malcolm also ordered the boy into counseling. The sentencing was last week.
County Attorney Rick James said he asked for the teen to be sentenced to one year in juvenile detention. James said three years of probation is more probation than what a juvenile typically gets. But he said rape is one of two crimes in Kansas considered so severe that the judge can sentence any amount of time.
Adults, or in this case quasi-adults, cause extreme physical damage to children this young during a rape, in fact I’ve covered a case where a man paralyzed a baby via rape. Probation does not fit the crime in this case. Castration might, but if the judge thinks this degenerate is “mentally ill” he should be committed to an asylum where he can’t rape another child.
