Hit enter too soon.

He attacked women FIVE TIMES. That is a sexual predator, not a prankster. Jesus. What the hell is wrong with some of you??

I don’t think disgusting PP is a “soft on crime” postet. I think he is one of our resident MRAs. [/quote]

Yes, the PP who thinks this kid is basically a murderer is disgusting. [/quote]

All PPs except for you correctly think he is an extremely troubled sexual predator. We probably differ in how he should be treated but all think the sentence is not sufficient. [/quote]

I think he’s a troubled kid who assaulted women but not in a “heinous” way. He should be held accountable and get treatment. But he’s a minor and it’s his first offense so the sentence is reasonable.

Fifth offense. FIVE sexual assaults. [/quote]

First offense in the judicial system.  :roll:

https://www.arlnow.com/2023/10/20/arlington-teen-receives-10-day-sentence-for-assaulting-five-women-last-year/

[i] The teen pleaded guilty to three counts of assault and battery, according to a source familiar with the case. He is expected to spend 10 days in the Landmark juvenile detention facility in Alexandria, with 80 days of the 90 day sentence suspended.

In addition to juvenile detention, the teen will have one year of probation and will undergo a psychosexual evaluation to determine if he needs therapy. He will be required to complete whatever is recommended.
If he does not complete this or has any run-ins with the law during probation, the rest of his 80-day suspended sentence could be imposed. That means he would wind up back in the juvenile detention facility or adult jail, if this happens after he turns 18.

The teen pleaded to the crime of assault and battery, which is what police initially sought charges for, per a May press release.
This means he did not plead to a lower charge as part of a deal. A condition of his guilty plea to the unamended charges, however, was that it be for three, not five, counts.
The victim noted her assailant was not charged with criminal sexual battery because of a “quirk” in Virginia law.
[b]That “quirk” is that criminal sexual battery, per state code, must be “by force, threat, intimidation or ruse.”[/b] This teen, however, assailed each woman victim from behind, taking them by surprise, which is not an element of state code, the source familiar the case said.

A child’s home life, mental status, criminal history, age and other factors all go into determining a sentence. [b]Overall, however, juvenile court is set up to prioritize rehabilitation over incarceration where possible.[/b]
[b]Per state code, the court is charged with, where possible, avoiding or minimizing jail or detention time and relying on alternative programs, consistent with public safety.[/b]
State code also says the court should only separate children from their families “in the interest of public safety and then only after consideration of alternatives to out-of-home placement which afford effective protection to the child, his family, and the community.”[/i]
