59. The sentence might reflect some of the circumstances:

May 2014

She learned about rape through cellphone videos in 2008. She got a divorce in 2009. She complained to the police about harassment in 2010. But she didn't report the rapes until 2011; her explanation is that she didn't want their children to grow up without a father

So the judge might have reasoned as follows: she apparently didn't sustain any injuries requiring medical attention at the time; she wasn't outraged enough to complain to police in 2008; she apparently wasn't angry enough to raise the matter in her divorce; she apparently wasn't outraged enough to bring the matter to police police attention at the time of her 2010 harassment complaint; and for years, she apparently wasn't concerned enough to attempt to limit his visitation with the children; so we'll give the guy a suspended sentence plus house arrest, and if he fails to wipe his nose someday, he's facing a long stint in the slammer
