I am sorry, maybe it is my
I am sorry, maybe it is my age and poor eyesight, but nowhere in the ariticle did it mention the victim's age. Did I miss something???? With all the willing available women why does he need to rape anyone? Well it all boils down to power and control. Once he steps into prison he will become very acquainted with power and control. If he is cute enough he will become someone's wife. He will enjoy wedded bliss with his new found partner, until he tires of him, then he will be passed around like the piece of trash he really is.

gramasgardiner There is definetly something wrong with a man who rapes, regardless of whether it is a child or adult. Rapists absolutely need punishing. after a psychological and complete physical. It is possible very tiny possibility it is caused by a brain chemical imbalance. He could ave been abused emotionally by a women in the past and hates all women and children and takes out his anger on them. THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND No MATTER THE REASON, HE NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH WHATEVER WAY WILL PREVENT HIM FROM DOING IT AGAIN. TO THINK A MAN RAPES A Woman IS BAD ENOUGH ,BUT HURT A CHILD LIKE THAT, MAKES ME ILL! DOES anyone know if the child was a girl or boy and how old?
