Reply to comment by nycdataviz in Woman Followed Into Manhattan Building, Dragged Out of Elevator in Late-Night Rape: Cops by NetQuarterLatte

But people here downvoting when you point out that fact. He will 100% be released on his own recognizance with apologies for the inconvenience. What a fucked up society we live in that we can't all agree this person deserves to rot in prison, at the very least. What he did was despicable.

What the fuck am I reading, are there actually examples of rapists just being let go? It's a genuine question

Yep, just this week in Westchester county. 3 counts of rape, suspect ROR'd. Happens all the time.

Do you have a link? I can't find anything from a quick Google search.

Literally 2 days ago. This situation involved a state employee raping a woman being held in STATE CUSTODY.

Looks like I couldn't find it because I was looking for "three counts of rape"

If you search "released on recognizance" and set the criteria to [within last month] you will get hits - to be clear this is not cherry picking this is a normal part of the weekly NYS courts blotter.

I'm not familiar with the case mentioned above. Here's a near-confirmed child molestor/rapist:

>In count one, Clark allegedly engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct with a child less than eleven years old on or about and after Labor Day 2014 to mid-June, 2015 in the City of Batavia over a period of time less than three months in duration. In count two, Clark allegedly engaged in two or more acts of sexual conduct with a child less than eleven years old on or about and after Labor Day 2015 to mid-June, 2016 in the City of Batavia. Clark was released on recognizance.

Hey, be civil. People are in rightful disbelief, but the court receipts speak for themselves. This information rarely reaches the main CBS/NYT/NBC headlines so people on average are not aware that it's happening, share objective info and leave it at that.

Nah, that was a "gotcha" request. It wasn't about curiosity/disbelief. This was "you're making it up" ... "See? It wasn't three counts, your argument is invalid." It's the laziest form of debate, not to mention logically flawed like nothing else.

That does sound like dog shit. I'm not really familiar with the law or anything, but that's basically left up to the judge to decide right?

A better question would be: what are the odds that this individual was arrested and released for some other offense, and was only able to victimize the woman yesterday because of that?

Personally, I believe that keeping someone in jail pre-trial as punishment is not defensible, but keeping someone in jail to prevent further crimes (and to ensure the criminal doesn't skip court) is something I can get behind.
