DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday sentenced a married couple to up to seven years in prison each for giving their oldest daughter to a cult-like figure who sexually assaulted the girl and her five sisters.

Bucks County Judge Jeffrey L. Finley said the actions of Daniel and Savilla Stoltzfus were unimaginable as he sentenced them following their convictions on child endangerment charges.


"The idea, again, that an individual in any community would hand off their children into the bed of another person is just incomprehensible," Finley said, adding that he would have given them longer prison sentences if legally allowable.

Daniel Stoltzfus, 44, who pleaded no contest, was sentenced to 3½ to seven years. Savilla Stoltzfus, 43, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to three to seven years.

1. 3.5 to 7 years for selling your children to be raped. Nice. Meanwhile drug offenses

5. Hell, you can get a harsher sentence from robbing a 7-11

in Virginia, at least....

12. There's no corporate-dominated market for child rape (yet.)

But street drug use, that reduces pharmaceutical industry profits, so off to prison you go. God Bless America.

4. OMG. That's unimaginable. The guys who took her should be charged w/kidnapping, too...

since the parents can't legally "give" their children away.

9. I don't want to say this because I believe I'm on a site that recognizes how sexist

our laws can be. But we have to face this crap. This is not just about thinking rape is not as "bad" as selling dope. This is saying women's lives do not matter as much as ___________________ and there are many fill-in-the-blank items pigs can find. The only thing worse is the selling of children for exploitation.
