Two Amish brothers who avoided jail time for raping and impregnating their 13-year-old sister are back in court 'after violating their probation by contacting her'
Aaron Schwartz, 22, and 18-year-old Petie Schwartz accused of violating the terms of their probation, which could send them to prison for 15 years
Brothers pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree child molestation with a child under the age of 14
Pair and two of their younger brothers, both minors at the time, had had sexual relations with their 13-year-old younger sister last year
The victim, who had a baby in August, told doctors in June that she was having sexual relations with her brothers
The brothers received a 10-year sentence in the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) on the first count and five years for the second count

1. So their parents are not in jail right now because . . . . . ?

2. What crime were they charged with? Sounds like it might

have been an overtly dysfunctional family, raising flags for any professionals who stumbled on them, but otoh it may have been a "normal" family and the parents completely in shock that this could have happened. It's possible, even likely, that one of the children was an instigator influencing them all to this course.

I found no suggestion that the "rapes" were more than statutory, i.e., involved force or coercion, or that the father (or mother) might have been involved. Or what rumors might have been floating around the Amish community -- or not. It'd be interesting to know something beyond that it happened, but that awaits any study that might be published some day.

4. sick as #$% family. Girl said 4 brothers having sex with her

The incestuous relations in the Amish family came to light in June when the pregnant teen told doctors that she had been having sexual relations with her four brothers.

Aaron and Petie Schwartz were initially charged with six felony counts of statutory rape and one felony count of incest after admitting to having sex with their sister a half-dozen times.

3. You don't rape your little sister, you 4 perverts. That's what the sheep are for.

Good God, why was that child not removed from the home on the first pass? This is one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever read — four brothers all raping their little sister.

6. Ugh! This just made me want to get sick.

How awful! She is a child! What is wrong with these disgusting POS's. How can you do that to your own sibling? I won't say what I think should happen to them. It wouldn't be popular here.

5. WHAT...?????

How the actual fuck can a court decide that shouldn't merit jail time?
