GOOD! Now this disgusting pervert is a tongueless piece of garbage rather than a regular piece of garbage. Why was this man out free anyway? The three strike law is terrible, people of his nature do not deserve a second chance. I hope this sends a message to all the rapists out there!
I would like to thank the judge and our court system for letting this creep run free to victimize other women. Why do they lack common sense? Of course he was going to commit this crime again and common sense tells us that based on this mans history. He never should have been let free. I hope this woman's life is not ruined forever because we have incompetent judges and court systems. The story indicates it was during the act but it doesn't state if it actually happened. I hope that it didn't happen and she was able to stop it. The registered sex offender law is a good concept but it's not enough. This man was regsitered and the area was notified, yet he was still able to victimize again.
Good for you Miss for defending yourself and doing what our judges and court systems should have done. Now he will have something to remind him of what he did-oh wait, no he will not it was bitten off! Ha-ha, no pity from me LOSER! May God never forgive you.

Excellent read, I recently passed this onto a colleague who was simply conducting a little research on that. And that he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Many thanks for lunch!
