You have GOT to be kidding me. Why is this man still here? I certainly hope after he's finish serving his time, he's sent packing. SICK.

He's American. The story refers to him as "Russian-American" as in "An American of Russian Decent". We can't "send him back" anywhere, he went abroad, commited these crimes and came back.

I stand corrected. In that case, why only 8 years? Why such a low fine? Will he be labeled a sex offender? I certainly hope they've completely investigated this guy to ensure there aren't any victims here in the U.S

Unfortunately, this is not such an isolated case. There have been more than 50 "sex tourism" cases brought in the U.S. just since 2003.

Yeah - I wondered that myself. Why only eight years? How is that even feasable as a just sentence for the crimes of rape?!

This is the type of story that pizzes me off no end - and also wishes for vigilante justice. After all, only a fool would believe that when this jerkbag is out in eight measly years that he won't rape again.

I have to guess that he is an immigrant who has recieved citizenship. After all, they didn't call Ted Bundy an 'English American' or Garrido 'Italian American'.

If it turns out he is an immigrant, then revoke his citizenship and send him back Russia.

Exactly...who's to say that this only occured outside of the U.S? And considering he's a millionaire, why only award the victims $5K each. His clock should have been cleaned. Why wasn't the U.S fine larger? This is one time the government really should have seized EVERYTHING. He should be made to pay $ for each and every day he's in jail.
