Child Rapist Gets Probation

I'm issuing a stiff drink warning (or three) with this story:

There isn't a word strong enough in the English language (and I will be taking suggestions in the comments field) for Judge Kristine Cecava from Sidney, Nebraska.

This scumbag 'judge' gave a child rapist 10 years of probation, and NO jail time!

The rapist, Richard W. Thompson, 50, is a short man, measuring in at five-foot-one inches. 'Judge' Cecava worried that Thompson would be harmed in prison due to his small stature.

Just a crazy thought here, 'judge', but do you think that the child might have been too small to defend himself from a child rapist?

"You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child," she said.

But, she said, "That doesn't make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category."


What? How is he not a predator?

In a court order that I'm sure will be easy to enforce (ha), Thompson will be monitored electronically for, and this is really harsh, the first four months of his probation, and is not to be alone with someone under the age of 18, or date or live with a woman who has children under 18. He must also get rid of his pornography.

Huh. Porno. What a surprise.

What, you ask, will happen to the child molester if he should go astray? 30 days of jail time per year of his probation unless he follows the conditions. That's a whopping total of 10 months, maybe.

"I want control of you until I know you have integrated change into your life," the judge told Thompson. "I truly hope that my bet on you being OK out in society is not misplaced."

Yes, you read that right...Her bet on him. So the odds are 10 to one that someone else's child pays the debt on that one.
