This should retire the 'Chutzpah' trophy.
In NOBLER times, that guy would've been taken out back and shot like a rabid dog. Sickening.
Headline should have read "hanged", not "hung".
How ironic that a sex perv gets to serve his sentence at the CLINTON Correctional Facility.
awful. I am at a loss for words.
Calling this guy A Father, is an insult to everything this title stands for. He may have sired his helpless young victem, but A Father he ain't!
I supose that 50 years for this crime is about as good as liberal dominated New York can muster, but it ain't nearly enough! Death by hanging, just as his victem chose in her shame, dissappointment and grief over being betrayed by the very one that little girls look to for refuge, comfort, and guidance, ain't enough either, but it would better indicate that just maybe, the law considered her life at least as precious as her assailant's.
Hold on a sec here!
The article speaks of no evidence that was used to convict him other than a coersed statement that was retracted.
I'd hate to think that it is true but even more cruel would be to be falsely convicted of it.
Put yourself in his shoes as a possibly innocent man and think about it for a minute.
(Maybe it is just a poorly written article, I don't know anything about the case - but based on this article alone something sounds fishy.)
Speaking of that, I thought America had decided that RAPE was no longer a criminal offense...heck, Slick Willie RAPED Juanita Broadrick and we made him President!!
SHEEEESH...MUD
I'm not sure how this is relevant in a criminal trial.
Aptly named.
Translation: Pedophiles who rape children.
She deserves 50 years too.
He most likely will get killed or wish we was dead in jail, no matter where they put him, pedophiles don't fare too well in jail.
LOL, yeah, right.
well hopefully he'll meet Bubba in the shower a few times and learn what it was like for his daughter.
I read somewhere that the mother lost custody of her 4 sons. If that is the case surely something more is going on that we just dont know about yet.
I am afraid that sentence is not enough but I don't think he will make it very long.
People like him are considered the lowest form of vermin in the prison hierarchy and mark my words he will pay for this crime.

Still looking for evidence other than the confession... I can't even find anything that tells why the police would be asking about rape. Again, not claiming he is innocent, but it certainly doesn't make sense.
http://www.courttv.com/news/2004/0527/dad_ap.html
"Lucie confessed to the rape after a six-hour interrogation in October, but he later recanted. He said the confession was coerced by police, who threatened to arrest his wife and take away his four younger sons if he didn't admit to the sexual attack."
I don't get why the police where asking him to admit to a sexual attack if there was no evidence of one.
I know I'm in no place to make a judgment either way but there must be something else besides a recanted statement - whether or not it was coerced is almost beside the point, the prosecutor couldn't find anyone to speak against him or his character, nor did they have any other evidence.
Shoot the damned writer and the editor that let this get by. The girl "hanged" herself. Girls ain't hung.
