From Huffington Post:
A Delaware man convicted of raping his three-year-old daughter only faced probation after a state Superior Court judge ruled he "will not fare well" in prison.
In her decision, Judge Jan Jurden suggested Robert H. Richards IV would benefit more from treatment. Richards, who was charged with fourth-degree rape in 2009, is an unemployed heir living off his trust fund. The light sentence has only became public as the result of a subsequent lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, which charges that he penetrated his daughter with his fingers while masturbating, and subsequently assaulted his son as well.

The fact that this child rapist "will not fare well" in prison is no reason to let a self-admitted child rapist walk free. That poor girl and her family deserve justice, and Robert Richards' wealth does not make him exempt. Please put this psychopath in prison, and stop allowing criminals to buy their way out of their mistakes.

This is absolute insanity. If some regular guy did this he would be rotting in a cage for years. How does having a trust fund mean you get to skip prison for doing that to your own kids? Disgusting.
