How does that make sense... minors are separated from the adult population and often housed at entirely different facilities than adults specifically to ensure they are not put into the population with adults. I believe this is even done with minors who are charged and convicted as adults (but could be wrong on that one--edit to clarify: They're incarcerated within adult jails/prisons, but separated from interaction with general population). She should be placed with the adults in adult jail.
7 years after the crime, the victim is still in therapy and did not attend the case, the rapist piece of shit gets 2 years. 2 years for ruining someone's life is a joke.
