Predator Not Entitled to Custody of Victim's Child
COURTHOUSE NEWS SERVICE ^ | JEFF D. GORMAN

(CN) - A sexual predator who fathered a child with his victim is not entitled to custody of the child, the Maine Supreme Court ruled. Richard Sullivan began sexually abusing Jane Doe when she was 13 or 14 and he was 60. He had sexual contact with her at least once a week until she became an adult. Sullivan arranged an abortion for Doe when she was 16. When Doe was 20, she gave birth to a daughter. He stayed with Doe and the child off and on for the next three and a half years. That arrangement stopped in 2011, when Doe obtained a protection order against Sullivan. The order was later extended through 2015. Later in 2011, Sullivan went to court for a determination of his parental rights and child support.

The fact that such circumstance has to be discussed and is even considered is the nations dead Canary in the mine shaft. Acts of morbid perversion now must be debated and perverts given privileges and perverted acts being debated now as new normals? I know nothing is new under the sun but the openness of it today is astounding and not in a good way.

I agree with you. I think a lot of detail is missing here.

If a male is the molester, the male has to pay child support.
If a female is the molester, the male has to pay child support.

I agree.

And where was the brain of the victim that she allowed him to live with her off and on for a few years after she was 20.

Not in any way taking the pervert’s side in this, BTW.
