Teen gets 12-month sentence for minor offense - thug gets probation for raping her

[JCFantasy23]

Simmons continued to prey on teenagers in his custody until 2008, when a 15-year-old girl came forward to say he had sodomized her behind a locker in the girls holding area, which he stocked with condoms and cookies. Investigators believe the assaults go back a decade to the rape of a 13-year-old in the holding area.
"Just the tip of the iceberg," Assistant District Attorney Amir Vonsover said in 2008, when Simmons was indicted for three sex assaults.
On Sept. 27, Simmons appeared in court and pleaded guilty to raping Ashley and sexually assaulting two other teens.
He received probation.

Ah, yes--the American criminal justice system. Justice for the criminal.

Raping girls/women in custody for several years, gets probation?

That judge needs to be removed(or who ever sentences the person.)
Pure abuse of power over years, with several victims?

The minor crime is a different issue, taking in consideration all the crimes the state has against the criminal, then the sentence is handed out.

One premeditated rape should get a long prison sentence. Cookies and condoms, pretty much shows he was planning something. Several rapes should ensure the attacker never sees freedom again.

I think it is pretty clear that the rapist was buddy buddy with the law makers. We need a full sweep of everyone involved.

Our justice system is soooo flawed. Murderers and rapists get probation, people smoking a joint do hard time, and victims are punished. Only in America.

Cold comfort for her, but she stands to be compensated with quite a bit of money. This really is a horror story.

Why did she get a year for something so trivial?

Still not what I would call justice, but at least he's facing prison this time.
