BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) A former Billings Senior High School teacher who pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old student who later killed herself has been sentenced to 30 days in jail by a judge who said the victim was "older than her chronological age" and "as much in control of the situation" as the teacher.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Stacey Dean Rambold to 15 years in prison for sexual intercourse without consent, with all but 31 days suspended. He gave Rambold credit for one day already served, The Billings Gazette reported.
The girl's mother repeatedly screamed, "You people suck!" and stormed out of the courtroom Monday.
Rambold, now 54, was charged in October 2008 with three counts of sexual intercourse without consent alleging that he had an ongoing sexual relationship with Cherice Morales, starting the previous year when she was 14.
Morales took her own life in February 2010 while the case was pending.
In July 2010, Rambold entered a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with prosecutors that said the charges would be dismissed if Rambold completed a sex offender treatment program and met other conditions, including having no contact with children. He also admitted to one rape charge.
The case was revived last December when prosecutors learned Rambold had been terminated from the sex offender treatment program.

Hey, moron, this take long enough for you? Let me know next time you’re down-range and don’t have time or access to FR. We could straighten it all out in person. APPARENTLY, you have all the time in the world stateside. Too bad you didn’t get that...
“...you decided to act like a belligerent a-hole...”
_____
You were the one who initiated the belligerent comms, bud: “Aw hell, we’ve got another one”, as if any FReepers who sat at home handing Zero the election didn’t deserve being called out on it. Even Jim Robinson realized Romney was better than the commie and that he needed our support.
You then admitted, “I voted for Romney.” Talk about talking out of both sides of your neck... Your inability to see the incongruity there shows you deserve all the condescension you get. Logic 101. I suggest you take it.
Good God, get a life already.
