A Louisiana man has been sentenced to decades in prison and physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a teenager, according to a news release from the region’s district attorney.
Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape on April 17. Authorities began investigating Sullivan in July 2022, when a young woman told the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office that Sullivan had assaulted her multiple times when she was 14. The assaults resulted in pregnancy, and a DNA test confirmed that Sullivan was the father of the child, the district attorney’s office said. Sullivan had also groomed the victim and threatened her and her family to prevent her from coming forward.
castration doesnt even do anything for most sex crime offenders.
Cause its not physical lust that drives most of it, its a psychological drive… and that psychological need/drive doesnt go away just cause you castrate someone, whether physically or chemically.
in addition to what you’re talking about, with the inherent risk of an innocent person running afoul of the law.
You see, your issue is that you are using your brain instead of asking for brutal retribution
yeah, i just love the hypocrisy of people who want brutalistic retribution laws… until they run afoul of the law, then its all inhuman and cruel to deny them their organic quinoa meals in prison and other ridiculous bullshit.
People just missed the whole chunk of history in which Enlightment thinkers argued against corporeal punishment and the body of research that disprove its efficacy as a deterrent. Nice /s
I could see voluntary chemical castration and psychiatric support as a viable middle ground between lex talionis and a 21st-century legal system. Physical castration? Get the hell out of here.
