Married man who raped girl three times starting when she was only 14-years-old WILL NOT go to prison despite convictions
An Alabama man will not go to prison despite being convicted of three counts of rape dating back to when his victim was only 14-years-old. Austin Clem, 25, raped the young girl three times between the ages of 14 and 18-years-old and will spend two years in a reform program and three years on probation instead of being locked up. Mr Clem will also have to register as a sex offender, but the slap on the wrist outraged many in the courtroom. This isn't legal. It's not a legal sentence, Ms Andrews, now 20, told AL.com DA Jim Ayers jumped up in court and said. Mr Clem was convicted of one count of first-degree rape for the most recent incident two years ago, and two counts of second-degree rape for the two encounters when she was just 14-years-old. Sentencing guidelines provide for sentences anywhere from 10 to 99 years in prison, but Mr Clem will never see the inside of a cell. My family was very relieved to hear the three guilty verdicts, Courtneys father Richard Andrews told AL.com. We were floored to hear the judge hand down such a light sentence. The convicted rapist will instead spend two years in a reform program administered by the county jail, but intended to keep non-violent offenders out of prison.

a real man does not take his ‘pleasure’ at the expense of others. We have raised generations of boys into adult hood thinking that the thing that makes them a man is their penis. Sleazy behavior (on both sides) does not make anything correct or acceptable.
if you are a real man sex with an underaged girl should not be of any interest to you. If all you want is to ‘get off’ then perhaps try masterbating
The law makes “Romeo & Juliet” exceptions (and even Romeo & Romeo exceptions now).
The law also is unwilling to haul in abortion providers for covering up evidence of statutory rape and abuse.
What happened in Philly wasn’t isolated behavior. Officials within the city covered up that atrocity.
Laws only mean something when they are enforced.
We have no border enforcement, how’s that working out?
This society didnt used to tolerate such beaver.
Couldn't be a double entendre, right?

could have been...or could have been my stupid autofill has managed to engage itself again.....
The Judge thinks rapists are non-violent offenders.
The Judge need a clear understanding of what rape is.
I foresee that it'll get lowered shortly to 15 or so - and the ones who want the kids will fight to get it lowered again to 12 or 13.
It's all about the boys...
