When I first saw this story, the only words I could muster up were, “Oh hell no!”
Here’s the article. Robert H. Richards IV, was originally sentenced to eight years in prison, but Delaware Superior Court Judge Jan Jurden, decided to suspend the sentence in lieu of probation instead. The reason? The judge didn’t think Richards would do well in prison! WTH?!
Who “does well” in prison to begin with? It’s PRISON, not the country club! It’s PUNISHMENT! This guy, (I refuse to call him a man) RAPED his 3 year old daughter, on more than one occasion. RAPED her! She was in her bedroom, at night, trying to sleep & he RAPED her! What about her? Did she “do well” in her bedroom, living in the same house as her RAPIST?! She was THREE YEARS OLD!
DELAWARE, what’s going on? He’s a RAPIST, doesn’t matter who he’s related to or how much money they have. At least it SHOULDN’T matter who he’s related to or the size of their bank account. Sounds like another case of Capital Punishment to me … the more CAPITAL you have-the less PUNISHMENT you receive!
But wait, there’s MORE! Apparently he also raped his young son, when the baby boy was just 19 months old.
PROBATION?! Really?! This makes me sick! Protect the children, not the rapists. This guy deserves to be locked up for a very long time- he serves jail time, and ALL that it entails.
DELAWARE, WAKE UP!
