WEST JORDAN - A judge today sentenced the son of an imprisoned Utah polygamist to 180 days in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

William Green, 19, must avoid pornography, stay out of Internet chat rooms and pay a $500 fine, 3rd District Court Judge Royal Hansen said. He met the victim on MySpace, a Web site.

"He's a remorseful kid," his attorney, David Leavitt, said. "He's married and has full-time work. I think you'll see this is a blip on the radar screen."

Green was charged with rape but pleaded guilty in May to two counts of misdemeanor sexual battery.

His father, Tom Green, 58, went to prison in 2001 for having sex with a 13-year-old girl when he was 37. The girl was the first of five women he took as wives.

2. Do marriage and full-time employment lead to child rape?

Because that's what his lawyer seems to imply when he says, "He's married and has full-time work." Well, he had those when he raped that child, what the Hell difference would that make post-rape?

Sick fucks.

5. This was a blip on his radar screen...

...but what about the radar screen of this poor child? It probably looks like the screen of an air traffic controller at La Guardia. Horrible miscarriage of justice.

7. anybody know how many wives milt romney has?

I realize the question is not fair and blah blah blah.
There are strange people in this land who GET AWAY with doing strange, awful things.
So who is the bigger demon?
The rapist-oh excuse me-the misdemanor batteryer or the local system that let him get off.
