Rapist’s sentence postponed so he can marry victim
A 38-year-old man has received up to three years in prison for third-degree rape, but his sentence will be postponed so he can marry his teenage victim. The man believed the girl, who was 16 when he moved in with her and her mother in 2002, was older. Both the defendant’s lawyer and a lawyer representing his bride-to-be argued that the case shouldn’t be prosecuted.
