Ex-teacher freed after serving 30 days for child rape

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A former high school teacher has been released from a Montana prison after completing a 30-day sentence for rape handed down by a judge who is under fire for both the sentence and his remarks about the 14-year-old victim.

Fifty-four-year-old Stacey Rambold left the Montana State Prison on Thursday after completing his term for the 2007 rape of Cherice Moralez.

Prosecutors are appealing District Judge G. Todd Baugh's sentence, and a complaint has been filed by advocates seeking Baugh's removal.

Rambold is on probation and must register as a sex offender.

1. The 14 year old victim killed herself before the case came to trial.

Moralez killed herself before Rambold's case came to trial. That left prosecutors without their main witness and led them to strike a deal with Rambold that allowed him to avoid prison until he violated the terms of his court-ordered release.

2. this seems to be one perk of the male privilege which doesn't exist.

Well, this seems to be one definite perk of the male privilege which we're righteously told doesn't exist-- 30 days for rape, and the court tells us it's the female's fault for acting too mature for her years.

3. If that were my daughter,

I think the headline would say he was immediately killed.

Just saying, when the law fails, people have been known to take it into their own hands.

4. I understand your potential anger, though I don't support vigilantism against individuals.

Now, if you want to kill some corporations, I'm with ya!
