Spared Jail for rape of a three year old, and a petition.

Du Pont Heir Robert Richards IV Spared Jail for Raping Three-Year-Old Daughter

 

Judge J Jurden

 

 

"A multimillionaire who pleaded guilty to raping his three-year-old daughter has been spared jail after a judge in Delaware ruled he would "not fare well" in prison.

Robert H Richards IV, heir to the du Pont chemical business, was given eight years' probation and ordered to seek treatment after he admitted to raping his three-year-old daughter in 2009.

Judge Jan Jurden ruled that Richards, 46, should not be handed a custodial sentence as he would "not fare well in Level 5 [prison] setting".

Details about the sentence only emerged after the defendant's former wife, Tracy, filed a lawsuit against him seeking compensation and punitive damages over the abuse of their daughter and his son.

According to the lawsuit, Richards admitted to assaulting his son and daughter between 2005 and 2007. Richards was originally charged with two counts of second-degree child rape, which carry a 10-year minimum sentence.

Richards hired one of Delaware's top defence lawyers, Eugene Maure, who won a plea bargain.

Richards avoided a jail term after admitting one count of fourth-degree rape – a lesser charge which carries no mandatory minimum jail term.

Delaware public defender Brendan O'Neill, told the Detroit Press: "It's an extremely rare circumstance that prison serves the inmate well.

"Prison is to punish, to segregate the offender from society, and the notion that prison serves people well hasn't proven to be true in most circumstances."

O'Neil added the sentence "raised questions" about the treatment of wealthy people by the justice system."

 

 

I won't insult you by going through the injustice and appalling sentence this is.

 

As this is in a US Court, there are no schemes as far as I am aware for appealing this ULS as there is in the UK.

 

However, there is a petition to fire the Judge, Jan Jurden, for this disgusting decision. You have the power. Sign this petition, share and RT all you can. This can not and will not be tolerated.

St Petersburg Bans Child Beauty Pageants

Russian city bans child beauty pageants

 

 

"Lawmakers in Russia's second city of Saint Petersburg have passed legislation banning children's beauty pageants as psychologically damaging to their participants.

The legislation was initiated by controversial lawmaker, Vitaly Milonov, who was a prominent backer of a law banning the "propaganda" of gay relationships to minors.

"Taking part in such contests crushes a child's psyche," Milonov said.

"I think people who hold such contests should be kept away from children. I grew up in a normal era and then no one compared children by their outer appearance, like dogs."

He estimated that around 3000 children's beauty pageants are held every year in Russia, with participants aged from four years old.

Some involve "a catwalk show in swimsuits", he complained.

The law says that beauty pageants "could cause harm to the health and/or physical, intellectual, spiritual and moral development of those under 16".

The local law introduces a fine of up to one million rubles ($A30,635) for the organisers of such contests"

 

Good. Totally relevant points by Milonov. Whilst I am 100% against his more "well known" feelings, and cannot fathom out his hate-filled bigotry that he shows towards the LGBT community, he is completely right (in my opinion) with his views in this particular article.

 

Children should not grow up thinking that they need to spray fake tan on themselves, plaster makeup on and wear inappropriate clothes to gain attention and better their self esteem.

 

 Children are children, not objects being pimped out by "commodiparents" (sorry for stealing this word Shy, but this is such a spot on description) in this manner.

 

Children should be allowed to enjoy their childhood - these days it seems to disappear all too quick as it is.  

 

Children should never be "sexploited" and sexualised in any way - and like it or not, this is exactly what these pageants do.

 

Child beauty pageants should be banned totally, not just in St Petersburg. Recently, the French Senate voted on to put a ban on beauty pageants for young girls under the age of 16. When will the rest of the world wake up & follow suit?

 

Victim Blaming - Australian Style.

A JUDGE has refused to jail a 21-year-old man for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, saying today’s youth do not realise underage sex is a serious crime.

 

 

"A JUDGE has refused to jail a 21-year-old man for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, saying today’s youth do not realise underage sex is a serious crime.

District Court Judge Rosemary Davey’s comments have sparked calls from child protection authorities to teach all school students about the laws of sex and consent, and that they risk imprisonment for having sex under the age of 17.

The South Australian Association of School Parent Clubs president Jenice Zerna said the state’s education curriculum must work to combat the sexualised imagery bombarding children every day.

“We would also like to see schools provide ‘are you aware’ letters to parents when they contact them about upcoming sex education classes,” she said.

“It is as important that parents know the laws as it is for students and young people.”"

 

 

Just when you thought you'd read it all - seen all the p**s poor excuses under the sun, along comes a story that goes one better. Rather than concentrating on the offense and offender, what does this case concentrate on? Pointing the blame fair and squarely on the thirteen year old victim.

 

The age of consent in S Australia, as highlighted in the article, is 17. The victim, was 13. Four years UNDER the age of consent. Equivalent in the UK of raping a girl of twelve! And he walks free from court, after being told to "be good" !! Couldn't make it up !!

 

The thing that this article and case refuses point blank to acknowledge, let alone even point out, is the responsibility lies 100% with Sasha Pierre Huerta (offender). As a twenty one year old, who is quite obviously old enough to know the illegality of his actions, he and him alone, has the control to get himself out of this sort of situation. Saying "he thought she was 14" is absolutely no excuse whatsoever - this being still three years under the AoC in S Australia. It matters not how she was dressed, it matters not if the thirteen year old victim was "looking for a sexual encounter", it matters not if she was "partying and putting herself out there" - he thought she was fourteen, therefore under the AoC and the blame lies with him and he should have got a proper custodial sentence. If she had been a 73 year old instead of a 13 year old "throwing herself at him" what would he have done? Gone "with the flow", or got out of the situation? No guesses there!

 

As for the rest of Judge Davey's comments, you have to read them to believe them. Rather than blaming the youth of Australia for adults who choose to take advantage of them as she has continually done, maybe she should concentrate on coming down hard of the offenders instead. Of course teenagers will experiment with their sexual development, but to put the onus of the actions of such predators and the burden of criminality on them in this way is inexcusable.

 

 



AVP - The Judiciary - An Update.

 

 

A small update on a couple of previous posts.

 

 

Readers may have read a couple of my posts before, namely the ones concerning Judge Jameson who describe paedophile Richard Oldham as "a good teacher who should be treasured", and Judge Bowers, who amongst other things, described child abuse as "Water under the bridge".

 

 

Thankfully, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office has taken the complaints I made seriously, and I have an update on each.

 

 

A submission is being prepared for presentation to a Nominated Judge regarding my complaint against Judge Jameson, and I should hear back by 9 April.

 

Regarding Judge Bowers and my complaint against him, the JCIO are preparing a submission to be put forward to the Lord Chancellor & Lord Chief Justice, who will be making a decision on this matter. I should hear back by 11 April from them.

 

A small update I know, but wanted to keep readers updated. Anti victim language like this in unacceptable, and it is good that this is being taken seriously.

 

If you have any complaints against the conduct of the judiciary, including language like this, you also can complain to The Judicial Conduct's Office by letter or e-mail - and you don't have to be directly involved in the individual cases.

 

Anyone can make a difference.

 

You included.

 





AVP and Legislation.

A bit of an uphill struggle getting the UK Media and others to understand AVP - especially when it appears in UK Legislation. Here is my interpretation of what it shows now, and what it should show in "Richard's world".

 

I won't bore you with the reasoning's behind this - earlier posts from 2013 will explain this & you will probably have read these already.

Quite simple really.

 

This needs to be challenged.

 

Where is the point in pointing this out to Daily Mail: No 10 aide arrested over child porn (as an example), when one part of UK Legislation refers to "Indecent Photographs of a Child", and one refers to "Child Pornography" and "Child Prostitutes"?
