Serial Rapist in Ohio Pleads Guilty to All Counts
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A man accused of raping 37 women pleaded guilty Tuesday during jury selection for his trial.
Robert N. Patton, 42, entered the pleas to 135 charges of rape, kidnapping, burglary and robbery. He has confessed to media and police that he raped several dozen women in Columbus since 1987.

Sentencing was scheduled Wednesday; the prosecutor said he would recommend a 50-year sentence.

5. The 50 million Americans and the rest of the world who are in
the process of a continued political and idealogical "rape" are also suffering. Buddy, I can assure that I'm in the "real world" as you so
put it. I understand your point about the feelings of the women. Please understand mine about the political comment I made.

7. I understand your feelings, but...
you have a lot of other choices when searching for words to convey the political ramifications of the past two presidential elections. (Pillage, plunder, fuck over, deracinate, annihilate, sow with salt, etc.,...)

Let's not dilute the word rape. Women who have been raped need that word to retain all its visceral impact and specific meaning in our culture and in our legal system. When everything is a rape, then nothing is.

12. I feel that my choice of words when describing what is being
done to the American people and the Constitution is appropriate.
But not to worry, no one pays any attention to what I'm saying anyway except you.

3. I recommend that he be sentenced to death,
but only don't put him to death, make him think he is going to die, and then if he confesses, have him be raped 37 times, then live out the rest of his life in prison.

6. If he lives the rest of his life in prison
he *will be* raped 37 times and then some.

8. While I’m hoping none of the cases involved….
would label this critter a “short eyes”….I would hope someone passes the word that he might be….then…let the action begin….

10. 0.37 years for each charge... doesn't seem quite enough
Yeah, I realize he's 42 now and he probably won't live long enough to get out of jail. I just can't personally support a 4-month sentence for rape.

11. 50 year sentence?
Odd how the Amish girl Mary Blyler's brother who openly admitted to raping her 50-75 times (she says 100-150) got off on ten years probation!#@$%!!.

So as long as you stick to the same woman it's okay...it's when you switch up that the courts get huffy??? WTF?
