Some jerkoff in the next town from me got caught with a student who was 17 at the time and when the allegations came out he told her to lie. He got popped for the sex charge and hindering a witness which was a higher charge than the act. Something wrong with that I think. He plead the whole thing down and got probation but he is a registered sex offender for life. He should have gotten some jail time.
It's definitely frustrating when an adult in authority gets only a slap on the wrist for breaking the law and violating a minor(s).
We discussed this particular asshole's joke of a sentence here several months ago.
Stacey Rambold ^ pleaded guilty last year to a single count of sexual intercourse without consent. Rambold was 47 years old at the time. The girl, a 14-year-old student in Rambold's class at Billings Senior High School, committed suicide while the case was pending trial.
Montana District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Ramboldt to 15 years, BUT unbelievably only one-month of it in prison and the remainder suspended and on probation (he was also required to register as a sex offender). The judge considered the 14-year-old partly to blame.
UPDATE
Fortunately, after prosecutors from the state Department of Justice appealed Baugh's sentencing decision, the high court ruled unanimously in April that Rambold's original sentence was illegal under a state law that says he should have served a minimum of two years. Rambold's attorneys appealed and claim he already serviced his sentence -- one month.
Good news today -- the Montana Supreme Court denied Rambold's appeal -- he's gonna do at least two years and maybe significantly more. He will be re-sentenced by another judge (Judge Baugh is facing disciplinary action and will retire next year).
