Teenage rapist gets 3 years in custody as judge cites his “utter lack of remorse”:
Another one of the Washington state teen rapists has been sentenced and this one actually has to do some time.
The article doesn’t mention his name since he’s only 17 but if you go here you can probably figure it out.
Anyway, the teen rapist was sentenced to be held in a juvenile facility until his 21st birthday for the rape that him and three of his friends committed on a 16-year-old girl they met over MySpace.
Here’s something that I did not know about the victim. She had become pregnant through the rape and had an abortion because of it. Just one more reason why these little punks should have been charged as adults.
This suspect was allegedly sorry for what happened…
“I just want to say I’m sorry,” the youth sobbed. “I’m really sorry for what happened.”
However the judge didn’t buy it at all…
But Hayden said that what “struck me the hardest” was a section of a presentence report in which the boy was quoted as calling the girl a liar for accusing him of rape. Other presentence documents indicated the boy denied responsibility for the attack, was not amenable to treatment and showed no concern for the girl.
The suspect’s mother, who doesn’t speak a lick of English, said this is not the case and was planning on taking responsibility by marrying the girl and was upset over the fact that she got an abortion because it’s against his religion. Which of course the judge responded by saying “And rape isn’t?”
As usual it sounds like to me the suspect was more sorry for being caught than anything.
Thanks to LiLO for the tip.
