no jail for Baylor frat president rapist (warning, trigger)


https://www.cnn.com/2018/12/11/us/baylor-ex-frat-president-rape-allegation/index.html

Even though Jacob Walter Anderson was indicted on four counts of sexual assault, the ex-fraternity president won't spend a single day in prison.

Instead, a plea agreement allowed the former Baylor University student to plead no contest to a lesser charge of unlawful restraint.
If the 24-year-old successfully completes three years of deferred probation and pays a $400 fine, his criminal record will be wiped clean of the charge, and he won't have to register as a sex offender, CNN affiliate KWKT said.

---------------------------------


In her victim impact statement, the woman said Anderson "repeatedly raped me orally and (vaginally)."

"When he forcefully picked me up and shoved me into a wall to rape me vaginally from behind he calmly and coldly said, 'It's fine. You're fine.' When I tried to pull up my pants or sit he shoved me to the ground and shoved his penis back down my throat and continued to choke me," the woman said.

"When he forced me up again and started to rape me vaginally again I blacked out permanently. When I was completely unconscious he dumped me face down in the dirt and left me there to die. He had taken what he wanted, had proven his power over my body. He then walked home and went to bed without a second thought to the ravaged, half dead woman he had left behind."
As he walked out of the courtroom Monday, Anderson declined to comment to the media.
CNN reached out to Anderson's defense team and the victim's attorney Tuesday, but has not received responses.

To have something like that done to you? He has most of the same holes in his body. Maybe someone ought to show him how it feels since, apparently, there are no laws against it where he lives.

Here is another article that has a few more details.

This really needed to go to trial. Apparently since they can't prove she was drugged, they passed on the case. Leaving a woman you had sex with face down in the dirt? Come on really????

This asshat should have gotten hard time for this! The victim is going to need serious long-term therapy to be able to move on, if she ever can.

So he ruins a woman’s life, her joy of life, her soul, and all that is worth only $400??!!!???

This country is getting worse by the day.
