This seems like a super lite sentence for what this kid did. Why withdraw all those charges which seem so applicable in this case? People that get caught with pot get more time than this...and this guy and his buddies rape a mentally challenged girl and get 1-2 years?? Has he been locked up all this time so he will get time served and be out in no time?? Is there more to this story?

there is always something more that they dont tell you, sounds like the cops messed something up

How sad for all of us - a free pass to do it again

Why does the law treat sexual assault like a minor crime? It's shameful.

Can't believe this is what they call justice!!!!! It's like they're saying to society "unless you're a"normal" person this wasn't worthy of real punishment"...yaaay way to go Jamal"s tax payed lawers & Dishonorable Donna Jo McDaniel!!

This is a disgrace! The Legislative branch of government needs to set minimum sentences - relative to the crime committed since our Judges refuse to do so.....

theres alot more to the story, thankful he'll be home verrryyyy verrryyy soon!!!! :) sad he had to plead guiltywhen hes really innocent but fk it hes comin home!!!!!!!! congrats jay! im so proud of u hope everything is what u wish for an so much more u get tp return to ur children n be the father and man i kno u are! yayyyyy!!!!!!!

Sexual assault and abuse is any type of sexual activity that you do not agree to, including:

Inappropriate touching
Vaginal, anal, or oral penetration
Sexual intercourse that you say no to
Rape
Attempted rape
Child molestation
Sexual assault can be verbal, visual, or anything that forces a person to join in unwanted sexual contact or attention. Examples of this are voyeurism (when someone watches private sexual acts), exhibitionism (when someone exposes him/herself in public), incest (sexual contact between family members), and sexual harassment. It can happen in different situations: in the home by someone you know, on a date, or by a stranger in an isolated place.

Rape is a common form of sexual assault. It is committed in many situations — on a date, by a friend or an acquaintance, or when you think you are alone. Educate yourself on “date rape” drugs. They can be slipped into a drink when a victim is not looking. Never leave your drink unattended — no matter where you are. Attackers use date rape drugs to make a person unable to resist assault. These drugs can also cause memory loss so the victim doesn’t know what happened.

Rape and sexual assault are never the victim’s fault — no matter where or how it happens.

For clarification's sake, the rape charges were withdrawn.

Thanks for the reminder/clarification, Bob.
