[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP with the DH's friend convicted of rape.

The dinner was a sort of send-off put together by his parents in the event that he did get jail time.  I guess they meant it more as a "support Joe" dinner.  Joe did not think there was any chance he was going to jail.  I was getting all my info. from DH who was getting his info. from Joe.  When I got to the sentencing hearing the next day (DH was trying to be supportive and I was just tagging along), I realized that Joe was in serious denial b/c wife was saying through tears that she didn't mean for anything bad to happen to Joe (which I don't think she would have said if she was really the knieving vixen that Joe portrayed), and the presentence report recommended something like 10 years.  At that point, I realized that Joe was in denial b/c he had dismissed the presentence report (at least to those of us at the dinner).

No presents were exchanged b/c at the time of the dinner he was making plans for the disposition of his property (maybe he was just pretending like it wasn't going to happen, but still admitting to himself that it was possible????  I don't know.)  When the sentence was given, we watched him get cuffed and taken away after giving his wallet and watch to his parents.  This was a 40 yr. old guy. Not the kind of guy you would expect to go to prison.

Good news for him -- he met a woman while he was in prison, when he got out, I think they got married.  Don't know what has happened to him.  We wish him well.... from a distance.

As an aside, when he got out and wanted to visit us, I was kind of freaked.  He slept in the basement, but I put a whole bunch of toys in the hall in front of my 2 yr old DD's room so that he would trip on them and make a lot of noise (just in case he came upstairs).  DH thought I was overreacting, but I didn't know this guy!  I slept better knowing I had cobbled together an alarm system.  [/quote]
