An self-admitted rapist was let off because the judge believed that his 14-year-old victim was just promiscuous, since she allegedly has multiple partners. The girl, who is from Texas and is now 17-years-old, denies having three lovers, or being pregnant by any of them – which she was also accused of – and is outraged at the judge’s verdict. The rapist will still be labeled a sex offender but won’t have to stay away from children, nor partake in any sex offender treatment or evaluations. [Daily Mail]
