The event passed
According to news media reports, a man in the United States was sentenced to 50 years in prison by a judge for repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl and causing her to become pregnant. At the same time, the offender will be physically castrated, which is also the first time that the United States has castrated the crime of rape.
The verdict allegedly came in Livingston, Louisiana. In July 2022, a woman went to the police station to report that she had been raped multiple times when she was 14 years old and caused her to become pregnant.
After DNA testing, it was determined that the suspect was 52-year-old Glen Sullivan, and Sullivan even threatened the victim and his family not to call the police. Eventually, the police arrested him.
The offender himself offered to be physically castrated
On April 17 of this year, Sullivan pleaded guilty to four counts of rape, and a judge sentenced Sullivan to 50 years in prison. On the basis of the request set out below, the judge sentenced Sullivan to physical castration, that is, the surgical removal of male genitalia.
However, there is a high probability that physical castration will not be performed
By law, the castration process will be carried out by the Department of Corrections, which means that Sullivan will not be castrated until a week before the end of his 50-year sentence.
Based on his current age, there is a high probability that he will be dead after the 50-year sentence expires.
In fact, the sentence of physical castration proposed by this criminal is very difficult to enforce.
