Couple Sentenced For Having Sex In Front Of Child
2007-03-20
(AP) PROVIDENCE, R.I. A Woonsocket mother and her boyfriend were sentenced to three years probation on Monday for having intercourse in front of the woman's 9-year-old daughter to teach the girl about sex.
Riiiight. Over and over and over again. I'm thinking loser trash. And I'm thinking they don't read RB! :-)
Chief Family Court Judge Jeremiah S. Jeremiah Jr. sentenced Rebecca Arnold of Woonsocket, and her boyfriend, David Prata, to probation and a three-year suspended sentence after they pleaded no contest to a felony child neglect charge.
?!?!?! Must be losers. They'd throw the book at people who cared.
The judge said he wanted to spare the young girl, now 11, from testifying, according to Michael Healey, a spokesman for Attorney General Patrick Lynch.
Riiiiight. Wouldn't want to screw up that childhood innocence thing she has going there not!
During an investigation by the state child welfare authorities, Prata, 33, said he and Arnold, 36, had sex "all the time" in front of the child and that "we don't believe in hiding anything."
Either that or you're losers.
He told an investigator that they did not force the girl to watch.
WTF was she supposed to do? At nine years old you don't even know what not to watch! The judge would have to be a loser to take that into consideration.
The allegations surfaced in December 2004 after the girl went to live with her father in North Adams, Massachusetts, after spending the summer with her loser mother in Woonsocket.
Only took them a little over two years to run that through the system. Must have been complicated with all the mitigating lame/loser excuses.
A teacher called a child abuse hotline to report that the girl said her mother and her boyfriend had sex in front of her. Woonsocket police arrested the couple February 2005.
Well, looks like at least the teacher did the right thing. As for the court system, with as "stellar" a job as was done, you just gotta wonder if the loser mother ended up with any custodial rights.

#4  I suspect the lighting in those huts was quite poor at the times in question. Sound effects are something else.

#3  Not condoning, but it raises the question what humans did for a couple thousand years living in basically one room huts. How did we get 6 billion of us here? Heh.
