| 75. I posted this on my blog and it is just stunning |
|
that this guy only got probation. How can someone who admitted to rape only get probation? All three victims were underage. This is just shocking! I read the story and wondered why she was handcuff in the first place, when she wasn't charged with a violent crime. We're talking about a 15-year-old child.
