Scumbag judge
BUT WAIT, he also had to pay a $1000 to register as a level 1 sex offender, and won't even be included in the database.
Shane M. Piche "met the 14-year-old girl while she was a passenger on the school bus he drove. The victim’s mother alleged that Piche invited her daughter and her friends to his house, where he gave them alcohol and where he allegedly raped her.
In Sept. 2018, Piche was arrested and charged with second-degree rape, as well as endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child due to him providing his victim with alcohol. He pleaded guilty to third-degree rape in February 2019. Although prosecutors recommended that Piche be given Level 2 sex offender status, McClusky chose to designate him as a level 1 sex offender."

When other pedophiles and rapists are in charge of sentencing pedophile and rapists it doesn’t go well for the victims.

Need a surgery, pay 10k. Rape a kid, pay 400. Got it. Well done, US

10k? That poor kid who posted his bill for his emergency appendectomy was around 50k

What's the sentence for hiring a prostitute? I assume more.

That you can face longer jail sentences for assaulting or blinding a rapist than for raping a child is a truly sad sign of where we are.
Veggisaurus
No victim???? What about the child?????

I believe you may have misread? Says “one” victim not “no” victim. Still despicable, just saying.

What is the point of registering on the database if...they are not included in the database?
syntheticgod8
He's just not publicly visible. Level 1 is *supposed* to be for lesser crimes with low recidivism chance. Police can still search him up.
ControversialLeftistLesbian
Rape is not a lesser crime what the flying fuck? And the point of the registry is to warn THE PUBLIC not the police.

So frustrating ppl like this get off and there are cases of 18 yo with his 16/17 yo girlfriend/boyfriend on the registry. Especially (1/2)

To punish the girl; the judge probably blames her for going with him and taking the drinks in the first place.

And I’d hope it would catch more pedophiles where the DNA matches and there are signs of forced entry.
burrocafe
How are there levels of rape? Either you did or you didn't. I believe there is a special level of hell that doesn't make exceptions.
dmelt253
There’s levels of murder and they all affect sentencing. Carrying out pre-meditated murder is a lot worse than in the heat of the moment.
eadanke
They're categorized by intent and result. It would be harder to convict and get guilty pleas if there was one all or nothing standard.
eadanke
That said, this looks like an over generous plea deal. I don't know if the judge was lenient or the prosecution weak.
LordNergal
It's different levels of sex offense. Level 1 is for things like accidentally exposing yourself in public, having consensual sex with a 1/

ridiculous reasons to put someone on a sex offender registry. Consensual sex between two underage people SHOULD be level 1 as well, but 3/

it's often level 2 or 3. A level 1 offense should not have even been a consideration in this case. 4/4
TeddyMoment
Level 3 because of the age difference. She couldn't legally give consent because she's 14.
AllHeilTheBanana
she could not give consent being a minor, but did she "give" consent on a non official level?

because for me there is a difference to giving in to you instinct when made easy and purposly and maliciusly manipulating or forcing someone

He invited her to his house and gave her alcohol. He planned this.

So many stories here, his, hers, her parents, and now the internet is weighing in. I don't have enough facts to have an opinion.

Statutory forced, statutory consensual, rape via physical attack, rape via drugging, rape via coercion, rape via penetration, digital rape

Digital rape from that definition sounds alot like sexual molestation, and was a bit concerned earlier. I'm feeling old now.

Only for the ones that don't get off scott free AND who also learn their lesson. So, no.
tomatoboy
Partially a guess, but he may have been using an internal sentencing template or checklist he uses and it was one of the factors listed...
tomatoboy
...so he listed it as a factor in his decision. Of course, the problem with boilerplate is that sometimes it makes you look like a moron.
tomatoboy
Particularly if you already are a moron.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Number of victims should only be a consideration to *increase* the sentence, though. Not to bring it down.
mesogiria
That will be how it works - multiple victims rules out lower-level penalties in the sentencing guidelines.
tomatoboy
Hence why I figure he was using a template. He saw it as a factor and discussed it automatically without considering why it was there.
deletable
Hopefully the girl’s father will use the “only one victim” defense when he gets the perp.
eveneverythingstakenistaken
I'd want to know whether he forced himself on her. Probably an unpopular opinion but I think it matters. Sentence too light regardless.
ilhares
I agree with you on the force query, but since alcohol was involved, I am less lenient, because that could make coercion much easier.
spencelinda10149
14 year olds can't give consent.

I've heard many people say they don't have a problem with women who commit offenses on boys. Some just joke about it as "becoming a man"
DamnedAustin
The media often shies away from using the word "rape", not because of the gender, but because of the legal liability.

Unless the rapist is male, then they call a rapist a rapist. That's the double standard that people bring up.

Death penalty for rape incentivizes murdering the victim to help cover it up.

However, removal from office might be more realistic, as it doesn’t require a full impeachment process at his level in NY, IIRC, it’s by...

...the commission on judicial conduct. That said, I’m not licensed in NY and am not fully up to date on the degree of misconduct required.

Unfortunately, this is one of those areas where the law affords him the leeway to make a stupid sentencing decision.

I was going to say "what does a rapist look like", but figured I'd end up seeing a picture of Brock Turner.

When does he run for Congress as a Republican?

Looks as if he would have looked at the victim and fist bumped the defendant

...particularly in the context of an offender who has abused a position of power before. Absolutely a miscarriage of justice.

Judge should be fired, hands down. A sentence this light should never have even been an option considered.

Just was thinking this. Someone like him should definitely be on the registry as he will most certainly offend again if given the chance.
blairsette
He will offend again because he knows there are no consequences.

The judge gave him that chance with this bullshit outcome.

Absolutely. An individual who raped a child he met while at work as a school bus driver should have been in in the publicly listed...
tomatoboy
...category as the prosecutors requested, there’s no justification for that whatsoever.

He was driving a schoolbus for fuck's sake.

Used his job as a school bus driver to take kids get en drunk and rape them. WTF America

And then got a slap on the wrist. Imagine that poor girl, she sees him just get a slap on the wrist. Her rape was no big whoop I guess.

I admit I don't know any of the specifics. For all I know she jumped on him - but it sends a terrible message either way.

It's like the justice system is begging for vigilantism...
