"(RNN) - Seventy-nine-year-old Lyle Burgess will spend 90 days on house arrest and five years on probation.
The California businessman pleaded no contest to statutory rape of a 5-year-old girl in 2016. According to KTXL, he will not be required to register as a sex offender.
"A 5-6-year-old little girl was molested. Normally, the sentence is state prison and then when you're released, you have to register as a sex offender," family attorney Ken Meleyco told KTXL.
KTXL attempted to contact Deputy District Attorney Kathy Murray to learn why Burgess was only charged with statutory rape and why he would not be required to register as a sex offender."

That is seriously fucked up.

Disgusting. I hope a competent judge gets the civil suit and awards the human trash's fortune to the family since the criminal court has failed her.

Sheesh... this is horrendous but I feel like there is more to it than the story tells. Still there isn’t any reason for this guy to get off so light for such a horrific act.

What the fuck was the judge thinking? This clearly needs to be investigated. Either we arent getting all the facts or something is going on behind the scene.

Maybe they didn't have enough evidence to prosecute and exchanged leniency for a plea.

But GD this is digusting.
