"His dad : Thomas Barnes, a former deputy district attorney in El Paso County..." That explains why the sentence was so light.

I was struck by the contrast with the sentence for a crime against property (SUVs) versus crimes against persons, such as the usual three to five years, suspended, for the rape of a child...

That's not a 'light sentence', that's an absolute travesty of justice, that calls for action by a committee of local activists.
