A family in Colorado is outraged after two men, who were accused of gang-raping a 13-year-old girl with their brothers and cousins, were only sentenced to probation.

Tommy Williams, 20, and Clarence Williams, 19, were each sentenced on Tuesday to a minimum of 10 years of sex offender intensive supervised probation, with a maximum of life on probation, KKTV reported.

The men are two of six suspects accused of sexually assaulting the young teen in December 2016 inside of the Stonebrook Terrace apartment complex in Colorado Springs.

The victim's grandfather was shocked at the sentencing, telling the news station: "There was six of them and they gang-raped my granddaughter."

The group of suspects — some of whom are reportedly related as cousins or brothers and identified as Jacolby Williams, Tyron Williams, James Williams, and a juvenile, in addition to Tommy and Clarence — were with the girl on Dec. 19, according to The Gazette.

as corrupt as things have gotten the last 20 years I think that we need to start looking at the judges to see if we have a problem with bribery that is stystemic in court system...we have seen the FBI and the justice department corrupted. we have seen the same within the IRS. I am afraid that the courts might have the same sort of rot.

>>But at the request of a prosecutor and the victim's mother, McHenry ultimately accepted the deals, sentencing brothers Tommy Williams, 20, and Clarence Williams, 19, to 10 years to life on sex offender intensive supervised probation.<<

I'm going against my instincts here and think that the judge might have come up with the strongest available sentence. It looks like this group could have easily "skated" with a trial. I'd prefer that the six be hanged from the nearest light standard but am not blaming the judge.

Egregious, but most likely, these criminals will get in trouble again, at which time they could be subject to the possibility of life in prison, depending on the offense. If I were that grandfather, I’d be watching the police blotters, and make sure I showed up at any court appearances.

My opinion: actual racism - lower expectations for black males.

Further reading shows the girl wasn't little miss priss. a runaway with a drug use problem and an admitted liar about her age. a trail would have questioned her story and background. With a hard probation I'm sure these guys will be serving time soon. IMHO the judge got the best longest plea bargain he could . And the girls MOTHER asked for the plea to be accepted.

“What was the matter with the judge?”

Same thing that affects way too many judges - a god complex.

This is the standard sentence for anyone charged with sexually touching a little girl.

The perps did way more that just “sexual touching.”

Maybe the sentencing judge wasn't paying attention, you know, cuz there are just so many sexual touchers out there.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You suppose this new sentencing guideline is to compliment sharia law

AND if the ACCUSED were WHITE they would have been treated the same way except for:

24/7 Media Outrage
Race Pimps Galore Descending on the Area
“No Justice. No Peace” Parades
A Call for a National Dialogue on Racism
Blaming Trump

Where are all the NOW gals and the Pussy Hat brigades?
Where are the democrats who want to impeach the president because a silicone sister says she had consensual sex with him years ago?

Why aren’t they on the streets raising hell about this verdict and sentence?

This is an in-your-face failure of government to do one of the few jobs they are actually supposed to do.
Is it racism, incompetence, misguided liberalism?
Who knows.

But there are far too many of these incidents where the minority criminal of a horrific crime gets off with a relatively light sentence.

What I find amazing when government fails to this extent is that we haven’t seen a wave of vigilantism with bereaved citizens rising up
and administering the justice they do not get in the courtroom.
