A judge who sentenced a wealthy du Pont heir to probation in the rape of his three-year-old daughter said in court documents that he would "not fare well" in prison, reports Delaware's News Journal.
The rape case against Robert H. Richards IV became public this month after his ex-wife reportedly filed a lawsuit seeking damages for the abuse of his daughter.
According to a lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, Richards raped his daughter, now 11, in 2005 when she was 3, telling her "to keep what he had done to her a secret." The girl told her grandmother in October 2007, and Richards pleaded guilty in June 2008 to one count of fourth-degree rape to avoid jail time, court records show.
The lawsuit also alleged that Richards abused his toddler son, reports the News Journal.
S.O.B. judge.
ReplyDeleteWho cares if the scumbag fares well or not?
Exactly why he SHOULD BE LOCKED IN WITH THOSE WHO WILL TREAT HIM LIKE HE DID HELPLESS CHILDREN!!! Money, Money, Money protects this scum....
ReplyDeleteHe and the judge should be locked up and the key melted down... That is a disgrace..
ReplyDeleteShame on that judge ! Treatment or not .. I bet someone out there will bring justice . Absolutely disgusting! .
ReplyDeleteKill the bastard
ReplyDeleteMoney walks and retired fire fighter goes to jail. The american way.
ReplyDeleteThis happened 5 years ago. It didn't make the news at the time because the media didn't catch on that he was a du pont heir. It's only come to light now, because the kids are suing him civilly.
ReplyDeleteI think he's gay. Must be. He abused his son as well.
Isn't this why we had a death penalty? It's more compassionate than life, and solves issues such as this.
ReplyDeleteBut, no, he has unlimited bucks to pay lawyers and courts for endless appeals and jury trials to get thrown out
Cash cow city!
Gay does not equate to child molester. It's a whole 'nother animal.
ReplyDeletedoes anyone "fair well" ????
ReplyDelete8:50 I think he's a Christian, too. See how that works? Focus on what he did to the KIDS, not his sexual preference, religion, or where he banks.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking maybe the judge was a bit more perceptive then the general public expressing outrage is now. Think about this.....why didn't the mother go to the media when this sentence was imposed? Could it possibly be that the allegations aren't true?
ReplyDeletejail is supposed to be PUNISHMENT. so someone that would fare well is prison wouldnt have much punishment, would they?
ReplyDeleteGay doesn't equate to child molester but when a male pedophile molests a little boy they are engaging in homosexual behavior.
ReplyDeleteYou think he's a Christian 7:15? What orifice did you pull that one out of? That's the whole problem with you people. You will out and out lie and make stuff up in an attempt to circumvent the truth about how pedophilia and homosexuality are related. If you faced the facts you all wouldn't be so uptight all the time. I've never seen anything like it. Gays running around whining because someone may hate them. They really need to get a life and stop concerning themselves with others. Only a first class fool would even want to do business with someone who has disdain for their lifestyle anyway.
I agree with the judge. He won't fare as well in jail as he would in an electric chair.

ReplyDeleteMYTH # 1
Gay men molest children at far higher rates than heterosexuals.
THE FACTS
According to the American Psychological Association, "homosexual men are not more likely to sexually abuse children than heterosexual men are."
Anti-gay activists who make that claim allege that all men who molest male children should be seen as homosexual. But research by A. Nicholas Groth, a pioneer in the field of sexual abuse of children, shows that is not so. Groth found that there are two types of child molesters: fixated and regressive. The fixated child molester — the stereotypical pedophile — cannot be considered homosexual or heterosexual because "he often finds adults of either sex repulsive" and often molests children of both sexes. Regressive child molesters are generally attracted to other adults, but may "regress" to focusing on children when confronted with stressful situations. Groth found that the majority of regressed offenders were heterosexual in their adult relationships.

ReplyDeleteYou missed 7:15's obvious point. The crime is the crime. There's something fundamentally (and mentally) wrong with anyone who molests children, NOT related to Christianity, where they bank, etc, etc.
11:49 AM "Gay doesn't equate to child molester but when a male pedophile molests a little boy they are engaging in homosexual behavior. "
ReplyDeleteAnd when he commits an act against a female child, is that heterosexual behavior?
What is wrong with those du ponters? The whole family is breed on incest and imbreeding to pediphiles.
