A 15-year-old Liberian refugee who pleaded guilty to participating in the gang rape of an 8-year-old girl was sentenced to probation.
Maricopa County Juvenile Court Judge Samuel Thumma Wednesday also sent the boy to a secure treatment center for at least a year for last summer's assault in Phoenix.
He was originally charged as an adult but later sent to juvenile court where he pleaded guilty to sexual assault, kidnapping, three counts of sexual conduct with a minor and one count of attempted sexual conduct with a minor.
Unless a judge rules otherwise, he will remain on probation until he is 18. If he had been convicted in adult court, he could have been sentences up to 21 years in prison.
The case prompted an international outcry after police reported the girl's father said she brought shame on the family and he didn't want her back

good thing he didnt kill her too.
The judge might have taken away his ice cream.
Someday these people will be hanged.
Gee, sounds like a teachable moment for the anti-Arizona Immigration Law crowd . . .
“girl’s father said she brought shame on the family and he didn’t want her back”
Fickin savages, the dad included
Do an adult crime, do adult time.
There should be no juvenile status for teens who rape or murder.
He’s going to do it again and someone is going to get killed next time, and sadly, it’s not going to be him or his buddies.
Diversity of cultures is just so wonderful < /sarcasm>
TROP?
Liberia is home to the following war lords:
1. General Rambo
2. General Mosquito
3. General Mosquito-spray
4. General Butt-Naked
MANY OTHERS, some x-rated, all designed to scare the cr*p out of you and their enemies
In Arizona, it may very well be him and his buddies.
But why take chances?
Lock him up.
Seems yes
This scumbag should have been given either a death sentence or a swift and enforced deportation order. This "judge" should be removed at the earliest opportunity.
Too bad the family didn't have an opportunity to mete out a little justice of their own.
Gang raping an 8 year old? Why are these people still alive? The father doesn’t want her back?
These aren’t people but animals.
If he were white he would have got the death sentence!
Poor girl.
She doesn’t deserve a father like that.
Agreed. This sentence is a crime in itself.
Sumbitch aught to be dead.
...smell that diversity yet?
At this point, someone should call child Welfare to take this kid out of her “home”, away from her father. Maybe she could be adopted and have a chance at life.
And the “language barrier” was caused by all of these people coming from...WHERE??? No info in the article, of course. Too NON-PC!!!
The decline of civilization continues. If you don’t place limits on people’s behavior, what kind of society can you expect to have.
