Witchy Woman
My best friend's daughter is 6 years old. 4 months ago we found out that she was being molested by a family friend. CPS and the police estimate he molested her approx. 30 times. The man confessed and was immediately arrested. He has been in jail the almost 4 months since.
They went to court today. He had a verrrrrrry expensive defense lawyer paid for by his parents. Much to our horror the court system let him plead down to SIMPLE ASSAULT!!!!!! He got time served and 6 months unsupervised probation. He walked out of the court room today smiling. He doesn't have to register with the sex offenders list and there was no order for him to stay away from children. He is free to do this again.
Everyone involved knew what was happening before hand except for my friend and her daughter. They made this deal before hand on some legality issue or something and never even notified my friend. Not even victims services let her know. His parents were even there ready to bring him home.
I just don't understand how this happens? We are all so angry!
Are her hands tied? Is there NOTHING else that can be done? She is going to talk to her parents lawyer on Monday, but we just don't know what, if anything can be done. Do y'all think a call to the media would do ANY good?
This man confessed to his crimes 3 times! Once to my friend in a taped conversation ( Which was not admissable) The taping was set up by the police and my friend sat in a room at the police station during this call. They said this was so they could get the warrant, once to the police face to face, and once to the social worker. The abuse was confirmed by 2 child psychologists, a medical doctor and the police. And not to mention what her daughter has been through, and still has to go through.
We all told her that the judge would take are of the bad man. WE PROMISED HER!
My friend lives in Springfield Va. and this is where they went to court. But the man who did this lives in Port Tobacco. I don't know if I should say his name...I don't know what the legalities of that are...so I'm not going to chance it.
I just thought you all should know theres a known child molester running free around Charles County. Free to do it again.
