Wealthy Child Rapist Given Probation As Judge Felt He Would ‘Not Do Well’ in Jail

The heir to the du Pont fortune pled guilty in 2009 to charges of raping his three-year old daughter, but never spent time in jail

Newly released documents reveal that in 2009 a Delaware judge sentenced a wealthy heir to probation after he admitted he had raped his 3-year old daughter, saying the rich white man would “not do well” in prison.

Robert H. Richards IV, one of the heirs to the du Pont fortune, admitted in June 2008 that he had raped his 3-year old daughter, Delaware Online reports. The girl told her grandmother about the 2005 alleged abuse, and said that her father had said it was “our little secret” but that she didn’t want “my daddy touching me anymore.”

Richards was originally charged with two counts of second-degree rape, but accepted a last-minute plea deal on fourth-degree rape charges, a class C violent felony that usually comes with over two years of jail time.

Prosecutors sought only probation, and Judge Jan Jurden agreed, sentencing him to an 8-year prison sentence but commuting all the prison time in favor of probation.

A freind told me that the fence around their compond is to keep the inbreeds in not to keep normal people out.

Sick, sick people, the results of inbreeding just to keep all their money within their family.

A lot of Freepers here would not do well in government concentration camps as “Thought Criminals” so can’t we all get probation when the SHTF instead of being sent to the camps?

Same damn logic...

Hasn’t the Judge ever heard of the saying: “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time...”

Idiot judges start doing this more and more and pretty soon you will start seeing people on probation at the end of vigilante justice and that will only end in eventual martial law...

Unless this is what they are trying to provoke the citizenry into doing?

Two reasons:

1) Dirt on the Prosecutors

2) Video of Prosecutors/judge accepting money for their cooperation.

7.62x54R justice is called for with a couple of dangerous vermin to society. Whatever happens to the democrip ‘it’s for the children’ mantra when they have a chance to protect children from scum like the heir and the judge?

Most judges are too incompetent or too lazy to make a decent living in private practice. Judgeships pay well and of course the graft is tax free....

As a great historian said circa 1888-”there comes a time in the history of every people where they become so soft and tender that they actually side with those elements of their society that harms them; i.e. criminals.”

The fix was in...judge says child rapist would do better in therapy than in prison when there is NO KNOWN SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT for pedophiles.
