A man accused of raping his infant daughter has pleaded guilty in a deal that could spare him years in prison.
Joseph Lehman Jr., 38, whose father heads the state Corrections Department, pleaded guilty to child rape charges Tuesday in King County Superior Court.

Are you kidding? That will be the best protected inmate ever. He wioll do time in an isolation unit, with no other prisoner allowed out of their cells when he is exercising or while he is eating. he will be care for and looked after by the guards who want to make a good impression on his daddy.
No, unfortunately he will learn nothing from this other than he is untouchable.
According to you, the rapist that is sent to prison for life and is also charged with marijuana possession is amoung the many prosecuted by the WOD's.
That's the sad truth in WA state, this is not just a special case on account of who daddy is. Child molesters here get NOTHING near what some other states dish out. This is such an embarrassingly weenie state when it comes to dealing with lawbreakers. We've only executed three criminals since capital punishment re-emerged in 1977, and two of those were "volunteers", in effect, they gave up their appeals rights, much to the consternation of the liberal activists.
Right now, the infamous Green River killer has cut a deal to get life without parole, even though his body count is around fifty women. Mary Kay Letourneau got parole for having one of her student's babies, and was only sent to prison when she reoffended with the same student, and got pregnant by him again. Then, Norm Maleng, a RINO if there ever was one, only had her serve the balance of her original sentence, no new punishment for the new crime.
A lot of people think that CA is super lenient, well, the dirty little secret is that WA state has them beat by a mile.
The really crazy part is, no Republican has the stones to make a real law and order stand. John Carlson, who campaigned for three strikes and you're out, and two strikes on sex offenses, was defeated handily by the uber-wimp, Gary Locke. I guess the people of this state feel they deserve to have their lives, property, and children disrespected by criminals and politicians alike.
Two registered sex offenders have gone missing in a tony suburb east of Seattle. Logic tells me they've just gone underground, but my fantasy is that they are dead, a result of vigilante action from citizens who cannot take it anymore.
I was going to bump this anyway saying essentially the same thing...don't hijack the thread.
Was it is WA a few years back where they had all those day-care convictions tossed out? The case where they took the kids around in cars to identify possible suspects. Kids even identified the mayor as a molestor!
Good!
