The courts seem to work for child rapists but not for rape on campus. Is there a reason why police, prosecutors and judges do not take college student rape allegations seriously? Is that the reason why the U.S. Department of Education got into the criminal justice business? Their expertise at improving the schools will be available for criminal justice now?
[From article]
A 34-year-old Pittsfield man described in federal court as a “serial child abuser of the worst sort” after videotaping his repeated rape of three girls — aged 3, 8 and 13 — was sentenced to 50 years in prison yesterday.
“I have been a judge longer than you have been alive. But for cold-blooded murder, I have never seen a case that descends to the depths of depravity that this case demonstrates,” Judge William Young said in U.S. District Court in Springfield, according to a statement released by federal prosecutors. “You are a serial child abuser of the worst sort.”
Jason Gendron — a father of three boys who worked in heating ventilation and air conditioning — had earlier pleaded guilty to 16 counts of sexual exploitation of minors by producing child pornography, and one count of possession of child pornography.
Gendron is also facing sentencing today in Berkshire Superior Court for state charges related to the 15 months of abuse he inflicted on the girls. In that court, he pleaded guilty Oct. 16 to six counts of rape and abuse of a child, and four counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14.
