Man sentenced for raping stepdaughter, mother allowed assault

I just want everybody to know that i am fine and that i thank yall for all the comments!

This kind of crime is what LE needs to be focused on. Not so many of these petty, non-violent drug charges. Put more money and man-power on catching pedophiles and child rapists and send them to jail for a long time! There are people with drug charges that go to prison a lot longer than these bottom feeders. That just doesn't seem right to me!

Heard a rumor that she was already out of jail.

This woman is just sick. I cannot even imagine letting something like that happen to my child. I hope that women is abused every day she is in that jail cell...in ways she cannot even think of. She can then live her horrid life knowing how it felt to be abused!

It is very obvious to see that these laws are not tough enough. We as a community must protect our children from evil. Judges that impose sentences this lite should not be on the bench. These little ones have no voice. I hope that everyone who sees this comment will pray for that little girl. She has been abandoned by her Mother if you can call her that, her sick stepfather and now our justice system. Judges,Lawyers, D.A. where is your conviction....

Lady, I know that your conscience is eating away at you!!!!!!!! This reminds me of the movie "Bastard Out of Carolina". This is disgusting...how could a real mother side with a man over her own child...you should at least look into the accusations/ check on your child. I know that there have been a few cases where the child has lied. I don't care how old my children are...I will always ask if everything is okay. Teach your children(boy or girl)from day one that no one should touch their private parts inappropriately (explain what that means to them). Evidentally mom stopped helping her child wash. I believe she would have detected a problem long ago or maybe she denied what she saw and allowed the abuse to continue. Parents wake up...nobody is excluded from commiting this type of crime these days. (uncles, aunts, cousins, dads, moms, grandparents, step-brothers, step-sisters, etc...) FOR ALL OF THE PERVERTS OUT THERE!!!! You have plenty of grown women to choose from or men...if you prefer, so you don't have to take a child's innocence and ruin their life.

5 years for this. where is the justice for this child? this mother should have been beaten to death for allowing this to happen. how does she justify allowing this to take place for so long, especially after she walked in and saw it for herself. i am a mother and it would have only taken a verbal accusation for me to act. wow, she will answer to a higher power one day and it wont be pleasant.

WHY do we not put these people in PRISON and throw away the key? I've said it before and I'll say it again, write child molester,rapeist on their uniform and give them lots of recess (should only take a week) and lert the other inmates have at them since our so called justice systems FAILS! Absolute scumbags!

For a mother to allow this to happen to her own child is absolutely sick. She should serve as much time as her husband for what was done. Five years is nothing compared to what her daughter has and continues to go through. How can a mother allow anything like this to happen to her child. Just thinking about what this so called mother allowed to happen to her child makes me truly sick. I pray the young lady has a strong support group around her to help her overcome the trauma caused by years of abuse.

If the rapist got 50 years how come she didn't get the same thing for allowing him to do it

Why can't we just kill both of them? They have proved they don't care about anybody except themselves. Why give them the chance to do it again once they get out? Anybody that says the death penalty doesn't stop crime answer me this... Have you ever seen a dead person rob, rape, shoot.... If these thugs see that people are tired of their crap and they will be put to death after being convicted, I'd be willing to bet most will change their ways.
