Montana Supreme Court Overturns Ex-Teacher's 30-Day Rape Sentence

[CaféAuLait]

Background:

Stacey Dean Rambold was sentenced to a month in prison for the rape in 2007 of a 14-year-old student who later killed herself. He was released last September. The case unleashed widespread criticism against District Judge G. Todd Baugh, who issued the sentence, and said the teenage girl "seemed older than her chronological age." He later apologized.

The Associated Press reports that the state Supreme Court ruled that a new judge must re-sentence Rambold, who has been free since serving his original term.

The AP adds: "Yellowstone County Attorney Scott Twito said that according to state sentencing laws, the decision means Rambold must serve a minimum of two years in prison."

14 years old and then suicide? He is now 56. Give him a twenty year sentence and put him in the general population.

If he can rape one person, he could always rape another when the opportunity is in front of him.

God bless you and the girl's family always!!!

P.S. With him being out of jail now, there is plenty of opportunity in front of him.

He will have to go back to jail now... not long enough, but serve the 2 years minimum he should have been sentenced to begin with.
