Idaho judge orders no sex for confessed statutory rapist

Idaho 5th District Judge Randy Stoker ordered Cody Duane Scott Herrera, a 19-year-old who pleaded guilty to statutory rape, to not have sex while on probation until he's married.

Stoker sentenced Herrera to five to 15 years in prison last week in Twin Falls, Idaho, for the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl. Stoker suspended the sentence and ordered Herrera to participate in a one-year therapeutic prison program. Should Herrera complete the program, he would be released on probation.

"If you're ever on probation with this court, a condition of that will be you will not have sexual relations with anyone except who you're married to, if you're married," Stoker told Herrera.

Stoker said he placed the unusual condition in part because Herrera told authorities he's had 34 sexual partners. Prosecutors said Herrera, who could face additional charges for allegedly videotaping sexual acts with a 17-year-old, has had fantasies about a 13-year-old girl and watches pornography depicting rape.

The only way for that to work is castration. Cause if he can't control his self, he will do it again and probably rape again then kill his victim to keep them from telling.

A little Clockwork Orange-type therapy sounds about right.

Must have learned this "Suspend the Sentence" stuff from right here in Wicomico county, How many times do we see our local Judges sentence a guy to 10, 15, 20 years with all but 2 or 3 suspended. Always sounds really good, "Felon with gun sentenced to 10 years: will read the headline, then the story says, "All was suspended by Judge so and so, but 2 years". And everyone wonders why crime is up here.
