Wow. Just wow. I can definitely understand the rage that a parent must feel when confronted with someone who has hurt his child, but sodomy? I guess it's an eye for an eye... but had it been me, castration probably would have been my first thought, not sodomy. Ultimately, we can't take the law into our own hands; it's not worth it. If the man who sodomized his stepson gets sentenced to prison, who will protect his daughter then???

Good point. Although, it could be a source of bonding, too, since that's pretty much what general population does with a perp. They might understand it was a poetic justice thing. I dunno.

To both questions: Yes.
He seems to be in it for the PR.
And he is faulting ESB for everything. From not stopping him from getting to position to stopping him from jumping.
Seems to want to have it everyway possible.

Rapist Who Preyed on Men Gets 99 Years
Date: Thursday, January 17, 2008
By: Associated Press

HOUSTON - (AP) A man convicted this week of sexually assaulting a 17-year-old boy at gunpoint was sentenced to 99 years in prison Thursday after he apologized for that attack and the rapes of four other young men.

In a written statement read in court, Keith Hill also said he decided to assault men rather than women because "it would be less hard on them."

Hill, 20, was convicted Tuesday of assaulting one of five young men he had confessed to raping during an eight-month spree in 2006 in Baytown.

Earlier, the defense had disputed his confession to police, but in the trial's punishment phase Hill said he deeply regrets the attacks and hopes his victims "find it in their heart to forgive me."

"It would not happen if I did not have mental issues," Hill said. He added that he had prayed to both God and the devil for instruction.

It's hard to thing of something that would mess with your head anymore than the circumstances described.

I'm not sure if what I'm about to say is real information or more something I learned in a Law and Order ripped from the headlines kind of way, but isn't there concern about this happening with the half-sibling children of the same anonymous sperm donor. Don't they have limits on the number of times a particular donor can be used so there's not like 100 kids with the same dad in one city who don't realize they are related?
I don't know if there is or not, but there was a case in Virginia where the doctor of an infertility clinic was using his own sperm to impregnate his clients. They caught up with him because of a congenital eye disease that most of the children had. I did hear that they keep records of those children.

I KNOW there was a L&O about that. But I don't think they used an eye disease.

I don't know if there was a previous one done on SVU or the original L&O (cuz you know how they like to reuse story ideas from one L&O series to another), but the L&O Criminal Intent that just aired this week was about a fertility doctor using his own sperm. The detectives figured it out when they took another look at the bulletin board of baby pictures and noticed an unusually high number of redheads.

Silly me - relying on the fact that my grandmother was a redhead to get one (I didn't - the score is 3 blondes, 1 brunette).
