Muskogee - A child rapist has been sentenced to probation after pleading guilty to raping a six-year-old girl.
Forty-four-year-old Vincent Martin LeCompte was charged with felony first-degree rape. As part of a plea agreement, LeCompte was handed a 20-year suspended sentence.
"We feel that justice has been served," Adair County Assistant District Attorney Shannon Otteson told the Muskogee Phoenix. "The defendant admitted what he did and will serve under very, very stringent rules and restrictions of probation."
Otteson says the victim had testified previously three times and that it was like being raped all over again. She says under the terms of his probation, LeCompte will be required to undergo sex offender treatment and he will be restricted on where he can live and work for the next 20 years.
The girl's mother says her daughter is traumatized and is in counseling.
They should both be sent to prison.
possibly allowing for societal justice?
Neighborhood justice needs to take care of this.
WTH?
Um, there should be a death sentence, not a suspended sentence.
True justice would have the perp spend 5 minutes of quality time with the girl’s family ...
Muslim?......................
This DA has just condemned how many more children to the same fate? What was this DA thinking, oh wait, there was no thinking involved here.
Hope Bill O’Reilly gets on this story.
I am outraged. Completely and totally OUTRAGED!
All Freepers should immediately besiege this court with letters and emails expressing outrage!!!
I don't give a flying f#$k what you "feel", you jackass.
Shannon Otteson, AND his/her boss, need to be fired and/or run out of office.
He did a plea deal, and that’s why his sentence is suspended. Are you so sure the DA should have brought this to trial?
I’ll give the sumbitch a suspended sentence, and you can guess by what.
If ever an honor killing were called for, it is now.
Rapists go unpunished. Illegal aliens slaughter citizens on the highway and we must be tolerant. LIBs continue to tear America apart for diversity. Tac cheats get high government positions, but we must be patriotic.
Oh, but we live under the rule of law./s
There is no justice; only scorecards.
At least they aren’t forcing him to do community service at a daycare center.
Dead man walkin
SO WHAT HAPPENED??
We don’t smoke marijuana in Muskogee;
B7
We don’t take our trips on LSD
B7
We don’t burn our draft cards down on Main Street;
E
We like livin’ right, and bein’ free.
E
I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
B7
A place where even squares can have a ball ——
B7
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
E
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all
We don’t make a party out of lovin’;
We like holdin’ hands and pitchin’ woo;
We don’t let our hair grow long and shaggy,
Like the hippies out in San Francisco do.
And I’m proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightnin’s still the biggest thrill of all.
Leather boots are still in style for manly footwear;
Beads and Roman sandals won’t be seen.
Football’s still the roughest thing on campus,
And the kids here still respect the college dean.
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.
If that DA had experienced what that child or even her mother experienced, this story would have a different outcome, I do believe.
