re: Judge gives man probation for rape committed a month into probation for previous rape

lol, I fricking nailed it!

Then you're going to jail.

However, I think you might have suggested it was a hostess and I unconsciously picked it up. They actually didn't specify her job, just that he was the manager.

Could have been a waitress or a prep girl (they did "do it" on a prep table). The whole thing was caught on security cameras which ultimately brought our boy down.

Ace, please don't rape my granddaughter when she turns 16 under the guise of her being "slightly underaged". It will crush me.

The hug a thug trend needs to stop. This POS needs Jerome to break one off in him.

That doesn’t really address the dichotomy. Don’t rape, and this guy wouldn’t have a problem.

No disputing that. He's a POS. Basically, don't commit a crime and you won't have to worry about doing time. I agree about the leniency issue, punishment for crimes needs to be standardized across the board in relation to the crime committed. Unfortunately, that may never happen.

I knew the danger when I responded. I'm not defending the guy.

Rape is a powerful word. A 16-year old isn't a 10-year old. The variability in age of consent laws just in the U.S. are significant. In other words, the first incident isn't even a crime in Alabama.

The second one? According to THE VICTIM - he pressured her to lie down next to him, then they started messing around (consensually) and he wouldn't take no for an answer after the appetizers. This victim was the mother of his children.

Now, does this suggest he's a scumbag? Sure. Does he deserve jail time? Maybe. He's on probation, so the law certainly supports that. But you guys want to shove a broom handle up his arse.

I've never done anything remotely like this. His conduct is appalling - the dishonesty, abuse of position of power, and he doesn't even have the defense of being a stupid kid of 19 or 20 - he's a grown arse man with children of his own.

But, if you cats want to hang old Beau, go ahead. Just make sure your own houses are in order, because the mob turns ugly when it turns.

Justice isn’t blind, nor is it objective.

I read opinions so on this case and find it fascinating that this guy has been prosecuted and convicted of rape twice and gets comments like “maybe he doesn’t need prison yet.” I mean, the circumstances of his rapes may be defensible, right? Maybe he’s not a monster.

On the other hand, we have brown people who cross our borders and earn paying wages to improve the quality of life for their family. They live in secrecy but in peace for years. Sorry, hombré, when you get caught, you have to give up everything you’ve built. You have to live in exile. There is no room for you in our country. Illegal is illegal.

I know these are two starkly different topics, lenient rape sentences and harsh immigration policies. But I find the differences in comments fascinating. It seems like this board can easily empathize with this guy who “banged an underaged hostess” and had “sexual impulse” problems with an ex, but can’t empathize at all with a poor guy from south of the border whose best course of action in life is to wait tables or mow lawns in a forbidden land

apples and oranges hombre! Mr brown skin is here illegally, he has no rights. This guy in question, while not condoning his actions, is a legal citizen and entitled to rights of a citizen.

Look, I agree that raping a 10 year old is slightly more heinous than raping a 16 year old. Even when the 10 year old gives consent. But the fact is, he raped the 16 year old. He broke the law. You can put lipstick on a pig...

No, I don't want to hang old Beau. I just want to be clear that Beau is 33 years old, is the superior of the 16 year old, and raped her by law. As a now grandfather of a baby girl, that wouldn't sit well with me at all. And I would want him prosecuted. Reading this clearly indicates he has some sexual issues, and there's a pattern.

And as far as my own house in order? I give you my word, I'm not raping anyone, and especially not underaged girls. But you don't have to take my word for it. Believe what you want.

statutorily.

He certainly shouldn't get life in prison for banging the 17 year old hostess. There would be no restaurants that remained open if banging the underage hostess suddenly became a life sentence.

---

If statutory, I can't begin to care.

Hostesses and 17 year old waitresses are slinging that thing around

If in any way forcible, kill him.

I also have granddaughters and I agree.

And he was. And got probation. And he violated that probation. I get and understand all that. But context remains important and context can/should impact punishment, IMHO.
