4 victims, charge was rape, not statutory rape and he pleaded guilty, what more do you guys need?
The actual facts of the case? Post a source. Google isn't being helpful. You seem to know, give us a hand, so we can judge for ourselves.
I'll be the first to say: I don't support rape. But Statutory Rape, we can have a discussion. A consenting 14 year old and 17 year old is a very arguable thing, no?
So let's determine what the true charges are. Both are "rape". And they're different. Given that the Defendant was apparently a minor at the time, I'm concerned that there's a rush to judgement.
In the American justice system, the presumption is innocence. Given I'm American, I want the facts that allow me to see it otherwise. Is that fair?
