School bus driver who inappropriately abused young girl gets ZERO jail time, sparking outrage

Source: [link:http://cashforeverybody.com/2019/05/outrage-debate-after-no-jail-sentence-for-school-bus-driver-who-raped-14-year-old|

A judge in upstate New York has sparked national outrage with a probation-only sentence for a school bus driver who admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl. But a state court spokesman says the judge was "well within" the sentencing range for a negotiated plea conviction for third-degree rape, which in New York means the victim can't consent to sex because they are under the age of 17.

Jefferson County Supreme Court Judge James McClusky last week sentenced 26-year-old Shane Piche to 10 years of sex offender probation after Piche pleaded guilty to raping the victim at his Watertown home in June

Free to rape other young women and the repug white male judges are totally cool with this as long as it's not their daughters involved.
