What't the appropriate amount of days for this crime though? Registering as a sex offender effectively places this person outside of regular society. Restricts his ability to make money, where he lives, and every relationship going forward is framed by this Scarlett Letter. It's a severe punishment.

You are impossible to reason with when bullshit like "oh, so that's the only punishment you want for ALLLLL rapists?" is the first thing out of your mouth. Same goes for BRick, too.

Remove the sister part and say a 20 year old smoked weed with a 16 year old and banged her. What should the punishment be?

Just because courts and society in general exaggerate the effects of marijuana doesn't mean that it can't play a role in lowering inhibitions or making bad choices. This is a 16 year old kid.

The article said 6 years was recommended. I could accept that as fair. Not 240 days for sure.

Sure. That's not rape though

It's something pretty fucked up.

I'm not commenting on what is or is not an appropriate sentence, but this is an older brother who got his teenage sister high and fucked her. There is a power dynamic associated with being an older sibling that drugs probably only enhances. This guy is fucked up and has some severe mental issues regardless of what we are calling the crime.

Thanks for not answering any of my questions. Just in case you or JLN ever decide to answer them.


So registering as a sex offender is severe enough punishment for all rapists? Already answered, and it's a punishment that you are under estimating.
How many people actually know who the sex offenders in their areas are? How the fuck should I know? I do look at the list from my area.
And I know parents often do. This is a ridiculous question btw.
Is rape bad? Way to be condescending.
Is rape a crime that only the offender has to live with? Why is this a question? Clearly their actions affect other people.
Why do people become serial rapists? God made them that way?
What should be the punishment for a guy like this or Bill Cosby? Clearly Bill Cosby should be in jail. I think this guy should be put in some type of rehabilitation program if this is his only offense.
Do you know anyone who has been raped?Yeah. So? What does that have to do with this case or over all policy. It's like saying I knew a guy who survived an accident because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt. So seat belts are bullshit.

I have no dog in this argument, but Brick if these were your kids you'd want your son serving 6 years for this?

I have to admit something. FF got me high and raped me at a Red Roof Inn in the ghetto.

That's a tough question to answer. I'd have to imagine most parents don't want their kids going to jail even for things like murder. It doesn't mean that a rapist should only get 240 days in jail.

Why is 6 years "fair"?

I don't know much about these laws, but isn't it statutory rape just due to her age?

Completely different case ... literally. In your example, the state would be obliged (in short) to prove, among other things, that the 20-year old was aware of her age.

Being brother and sister, that's the 6"-putt in this case.

Gross.
