A judge decided that an 18 year-old rapist won't go to jail to avoid impending his "college experience." David Becker was charged with two accounts of rape and one count of indecent assault. He assaulted two unconscious women at a High School Party in Massachusetts. Becker admitted to one count of rape. He said he apologized to one of the victims through text message the next morning. His sentence was no more than 2 years of probation. Becker also will also avoid having to register as a sex offender. If he completes his probation the conviction will never appear on his record. Becker's attorney used a line that we have all heard before with these cases. "We have all made mistakes when we were 17,18,19 years old. Putting this kid in jail for two years would have destroyed this kid's life."
Becker has admitted to rape and what does the judge do. They let him get off with probation and not having to register as a sex offender. What about all the other cases and people who have committed rape? Don't you think that they would only want 2 years of probation and not having to register? What about the victims? Don't you think that they want this guy to be locked up for what happened?
This seems to be a common theme recently, the court protects the rapists and not the victims.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like collage is where most rapes occur but are not stopped.

ReplyDeleteA large reason why most rapes go unreported- victims are forced to relive unpleasant memories for what feels like forever, only to see their rapist get a slap on the wrist for their crimes
