Recently a child rapist, who was in a group home, cut off his ankle monitor and is on the lose. He was convicted in 1991 for rape. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison and a lifetime of parole.
That's about it to the events of the story, however I think it gives a lot of insight into society. I think it is horrific how little of a sentence he got for this. Depending on the conditions of the rape. If it was statutory rape so the other person couldn't legally give consent, then I understand the short sentence. Yet, any other situation he should've gotten a much heavier sentence.
Too many rapists walk free or serve an unjustly short sentence. Now he is on the lose and is likely to repeat this crime. There needs to be some type of reform in our country regarding consequences for rapists. Hopefully, if people know they can't get away with it, they will be less likely to commit the crime.
