She was convicted of performing oral sex on an unwilling adult, and engaging in the act of rape with at least one other person: Aggravate Rape/First Degree Rape.



Gotcha. So she had nothing to do with the Perkins and them raping the kids and the cupcakes and all that other sick shite then and assumedly? Sounds like blood from the prosecutor then by associating with Dennis Perkins.

Again not that she’s not a sick frick that raped a woman (I’m assuming?) with him and needs to be behind bars for sure, but not the rest of her life.

I didn't follow the trial, but from what little I've read after, she was tried solely for the act I described, nothing to do with anyone else.

But like I've posted, it doesn't sound like any of us know what she was offered, so we can't exactly judge the prosecutor's actions. Once she rejected the offer and rolled the dice on going to trial for Aggravated Rape, mandatory minimum life without parole is the only available sentence if convicted.

Now, if you don't think multiple people engaging in a rape at the same time should be an aggravator such that it's Aggravated/First Degree Rape, that's a separate conversation. But again, that's between you and your state rep.

So Darren Sharper drugged and raped multiple women in Louisiana and his sentence was only 20 years.


This is the point i made earlier. He actually pled to a deal for 9 years that the state agreed to, but the judge refused to accept.

9 years for drugging and actually raping multiple women across multiple states. A sexual predator by every definition. This girl is getting life for some licking action that apparently occurred just one time? With the victim being an adult?

And before you say rape is rape. Oral or whatever. If you in prison, would you rather Bubba licking your bum hole or shoving a 12 inch pipe in there. Most may not agree but I think there’s a difference from what Perkins was doing and what she did to the victim. But that’s just my opinion.

Im almost willing to bet they didn’t offer her anything less than 20, maybe more. And this was just a result of it happening with Perkins. If it was with any other guy they plead her out or offer her maybe 5 years and go hard after the guy.

***
§41. Rape; defined

A. Rape is the act of anal, oral, or vaginal sexual intercourse with a male or female person committed without the person's lawful consent.

B. Emission is not necessary, and any sexual penetration, when the rape involves vaginal or anal intercourse, however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime.

C. For purposes of this Subpart, "oral sexual intercourse" means the intentional engaging in any of the following acts with another person:

(1) The touching of the anus or genitals of the victim by the offender using the mouth or tongue of the offender.

(2) The touching of the anus or genitals of the offender by the victim using the mouth or tongue of the victim.
***

Sounds like a bunch of you need to call your state rep and get their arse in gear next session

do we really want to more narrowly define such a heinous crime as gang rape? Like, oral sex doesn’t count? What if it’s the dude jamming his dick down her throat, does that count? Or only female to female oral sex, because it’s somehow less violent despite lack of consent?

I get that it seems like life for a little pussy pucker seems excessive but she helped stage and commit a rape and was captured on tape doing it. Federal firearms sentences are harsh too and most of those laws are ridiculously vague, but that doesn’t mean breaking them should be an option

How many people across the state can you list that are doing life right now for the above. That’s a provision under Agg Rape. We should have thousands if that was the case because it’s pretty common. I doubt you can count on one hand the people sentenced to life for raping a kid.

No I mean like I said she’s definitely guilty and deserves to be behind bars for a long while, I just don’t think life without parole makes much sense.

Is mandatory minimum life without parole a Louisiana thing for rape? It seems like there are definitely rapist that habe been freed, is that because they took the plea?

No need. That’s already what the statute says.

it is for aggravated/1st degree rape, not every rape or other sex crime. Josh quoted the statute for you...over 65, under 13, with another person, etc. Melanie Curtin was convicted of aggravated rape

I haven’t given an opinion on the law. I was simply explaining it to those who were blaming the prosecutor, and telling them their recourse if they don’t like it.

Different flavors of rape. Used to be aggravated, forcible, and simple. Now it’s first, second, and third degree. But if you know someone charged with aggravated/first degree and got parole, they likely were convicted/pleaded down to a lesser offense.

Your post was oddly worded, so I’ll just state simply: there are tons of guys at LSP doing life for Agg Rape due to the under 13 provision. I could list off a half dozen guys who I just happened to be in the courtroom in the 19th JDC when they were being sentenced.

You appear to be under the very misguided impression that people don’t routinely get life for raping children.

yeah I know I was replying generally
I’m surprised at the reaction by some people in this thread. If curtin were the getaway driver in a bank robbery gone fatal, she’d get charged with murder too. That’s why you don’t drive the getaway car

She’s going to make for one hell of a scorned witness for the prosecution in the case against Perkins.

I anticipate a lot of wild accusations and the implication of other parties not charged but aware of the stuff Perkins was doing on the regular from both Perkins and Curtin.

Of that 15-20 years for a potential plea, I’d imagine good time would cut the sentence significantly.
