He was charged with rape, but he pleaded guilty to a lesser charge You can read the court transcripts, he states explicitly that he had sex with her against her will.
Judges and prosecutors do NOT make deals in plea agreements. Defense attorneys and prosecutors make deals. Those are presented to the judge. Judge NEVER is required to accept the deal. I wish people would stop watching that film and thinking it's not propaganda.
Or maybe you could read the transcripts, which were left out of the marketing film you speak of. A lot of movies get made as propaganda. Most people have the ability to discern which ones those are before they post remarks citing said propaganda as compelling story telling.
What does your son have to do with this? That's an argument meant solely to persuade us with irrelevant emotional heartstring tugging. What if your son is raped by a 42 year old man when he is 13? What if that 42 year old man turns out to be the victim of some other brutal crime? Where is your sarcasm then? Which crimes do previous victims get the free pass for? I was raped. Which crimes do I get to commit? Is that worth say, a liquor store robbery? I've also been the victim of theft. Do I get like two free speeding ticket passes for that? Being a victim does not give us rights to supersede the legal system. Your sarcasm and condescension is misplaced.
P.S. I'm probably older than you are. So I should make rude remarks about your youth?
He was not sentenced. You have your facts wrong. He was observed in a mental facility prior to sentencing, he negotiated a plea agreement, he fled before sentencing.
