Pastor Raped 14-Y.O. Gets Lenient Sentence Due to His Faith 👨‍⚖️
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2019-05-20

Pastor David Richards has repeatedly raped his adopted daughter, starting when she was 14 years old. A jury found him guilty on nine felony counts (including rape, incest, and sexual battery) earlier this year. Richards faced the possibility of 72 years in prison. During his sentencing hearing, dozens of people told the judge about what a wonderful Christian man he was. Knox County Criminal Court Judge Steve Sword fell for it. The judge backed away from the 72-year maximum sentence he could have given and settled on 12 years.
