There's lots of posts promoting torturing people lately. How about just throw him in jail or prison and have him register as a sex offender? I agree we can't just not punish them like lefties want to do because they are in some protected group...you see what happens when you do that...he went and did it again.
We have laws we can enforce and should enforce them. I don't believe dissolving testicles is in any passed law.
The victim said she and the boy had consensual sexual encounters before the assault but that she did not consent to what he did in May. A defense attorney for the boy tried arguing that his client reasonably believed he had permission because of the previous encounters.
I had never heard this little tidbit before. To me, it kind of mitigates his guilt, if he had reasonable cause to believe that his "advances" would be welcomed. Maybe that'll factor into the sentencing.

Evidently this kid is bad news. Read what the judge said at this sentencing.
Before announcing her ruling, Judge Brooks said that she had dealt with many juvenile sex offenses, crimes more common than the public realized. She added that she had read many psychosexual and psychological evaluations, but the defendant’s report “scared” her.
[Judge Brooks] told him, “When someone says ‘yes’ one day, it doesn’t mean they say ‘yes’ every day. ‘No’ means no. You exhibited predatory behavior.” She said she had never put any juvenile on the sex offender registry but would rule so today.
Plaintiff attorney Elizabeth Lancaster said the placement on the sex offender registry was for the protection of the community, not for punishing the boy. According to her, a person on the registry cannot work as a school teacher or at a daycare, and his activities around children will be limited. In addition, a sex offender may face difficulties finding certain jobs; that’s up to the employer’s assessment.
