A judge in Delaware has decided not to send admitted child molester Robert H. Richards IV to jail.
Her reasoning: Because he “will not fare well.”
Appearing to make this ruling with a straight face, Judge Jan Jurden managed to even surprise attorneys who are familiar with her usually ‘tough’ stance.
Richards was charged with the fourth-degree rape of his 3-year-old daughter in 2009, but this light sentence was made public because of a subsequent lawsuit filed by his ex-wife, which charges that he penetrated his daughter with his fingers while masturbating, and subsequently assaulted his son as well.
