WTF: Teacher Gets 30 Days for Raping Student Who Then Killed Herself
LatestA former high school teacher convicted of raping a 14-year-old female student who later killed herself will only spend 30 days in jail because he’s already suffered “the scarlet letter of the internet,” thanks to his victim, who was totally down for his D when she was alive. I will now accept my award for most depressing run-on sentence, thank you very much.
More uplifting info from the Billings Gazette: Chief Deputy County Attorney Rod Souza had asked the Yellowstone County district judge to order former teacher Stacy Dean Rambold to serve 20 years in prison, with 10 years suspended, given that he used his position of power to pursue an “ongoing relationship” with a troubled 14-year-old when he was 49. He was first charged in 2008, but while the case was pending, the girl took her own life a few weeks before her 17th birthday — her mother testified that her daughter’s relationship with Rambold was a “major factor” in her suicide.
