You’ll be happy to learn that the four family members who were given suspended sentences for repeatedly raping their mentally disabled teenage relative have been re-sentenced to prison time. All except the grandfather (who apparently argued that he couldn’t have raped her since he was impotent), whose original four-year suspended sentence was upheld due to health problems.

3 years & 1.5 years seem like a disingenuous execution of justice given that they raped their own mentally disabled niece. And the whole “I’m impotent” defense is horseshit – ever heard of the words accessory and accomplice?
Big “what the fuck” moment. Yet again.
“And the whole “I’m impotent” defense is horseshit – ever heard of the words accessory and accomplice?”
Or Viagra?

What he meant was “I discontinued raping her after I became impotent–after that I just watched”
The better sexual assault laws are expansive enough to cover penetration by a sexy part into a sexy or non-sexy part, or a non-sexy part into a sexy part.
Something tells me he could have assaulted this poor girl with the flat end of a fire extinguisher and still gotten off since he was “impotent.” Shameful.
I think they deserve it, but I’m concerned about the re-sentencing. I guess that’s different from re-trying, but how easy is it to re-sentence someone? Could they do it a year later? five years later?
Oh, I know they deserve worse: don’t get hung up on the “I think…” part of the above post.
Man, I’m just glad that guy isn’t Korean.
