I'm taking my quotes from the
Detroit News article on the story.
he tossed their cellphones away, drove to Detroit where he stole gas from a station and then drove back to Sanilac County, where he kept them captive for two days in a vacant house near a relative, finally releasing the older sister in a park. He threatened to kill them if they told anyone what happened.
So she was 12, he kidnapped her, raped her, and threatened to kill her.
He got her pregnant, so there was evidence.
But all of this resulted in... a plea deal for attempted third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Wow, rape of children is sure taken seriously.
Mirasolo was sentenced to one year in the county jail but only served six and a half months before early release so he could care for his sick mother, Kiessling said.
”She (client) and her family was told first-time sex offenders weren't sent to prison because people come out worse after they go there," said Kiessling.
3rd Degree CSC has a maximum sentence of 15 years, and he was given
one.
He was sentenced to county jail instead of prison, and didn't even serve his whole sentence.
In March 2010, Mirasolo committed a sex assault on a victim between the ages of 13 and 15 years old. He served only four years for that second offense, Kiessling said.
And then he went and reoffended!
With another child!
Oh yes, that light sentencing
sure stopped him coming out worse!
she said she didn't want the baby to be a victim, too," said Kiessling. ”She dropped out of school, went to live with relatives out of state and worked jobs to try and support herself."
Ross disclosed the rape victim's address to Mirasolo and ordered Mirasolo's name to be added to the child's birth certificate — all without the victim's consent or a hearing, according to Kiessling.
Kiessling said her client was notified she was ”not allowed to move 100 miles from where she had been living when the case was filed, without court consent."
”So the prosecutor told her she had to come home immediately or she would be held in contempt of court," Kiessling said.
The mother chose to keep the child and care for it.
She moved away, got jobs, and got on with her life...
She did all the things they
want people to do!
But because she applied for state assistance (because oh no, how dare she), they
revealed her details to her rapist (or, fine, to play by their rules,
the man convicted of attempting to commit third degree criminal sexual conduct against her when she was a minor), forced her to
move back even though that probably means she lost the job or jobs she'd had, and awarded him joint custody.
Even with a history of sexual offenses against children on his record, when it's blatantly evident that the child in question is the result of his sexual offenses against children, THEY GAVE HIM JOINT CUSTODY OF THE CHILD.
There are no words for how completely fucked up that is.
