I found that story, posted here on FR awhile back. I am bittersweet in a report that while he didn't get sufficient time handed down (4 years) (maybe they'll take care of this scum in prison) - at least he didn't get probation as was the fear before he was sentenced. (His dad is in charge of corrections, too).

Baby Raped: Will Justice be served?

Update

Man gets four years in rape of baby

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KENT -- The son of Washington state's corrections chief was sentenced to four years in prison yesterday for raping his 2-month-old daughter.

Joseph Lehman Jr., 38, pleaded guilty in October in a plea bargain, hoping to avoid a prison term. King County prosecutors had recommended six months in jail and at least three years of treatment for sexual deviancy.

But Superior Court Judge Ronald Kessler decided on the four-year prison term because Lehman has a criminal record. The standard state sentence for first-degree child rape is seven to 10 years.

Lehman's father, Joseph Lehman Sr., has headed the Department of Corrections for six years.

That last comment was for you, sorry!

(and I was wrong on the baby's age - she was 2 months old when she was assaulted... she was 9 months oldER when I read about her nightmares.)

Oh, hell NO.

How could he do that????

Three weeks, she waited????

I've already stated my views on what should happen to these people, and yes the mother too. She became the monster in those three weeks she waited. Did she not seek medical care for her child?

I would have killed him. He had to sleep sometime, if I didn't think I could do it while he was awake. I would incapacitate him while he slept, then woke that POS up and made him suffer.
