36. I think they will do whatever they can to keep the rapist out of trouble

He will be on probation for 3 years and it doesn't take much to violate probation if they're gunning for you. His probation officer will have the right to search him, take drug/alcohol tests, stop and search his car and property and generally ride his sorry ass at any time of day or night and for no reason whatsoever. If he happens to get a PO who is as outraged at the sentence as we are, that may happen. The consequences for a probation violation are that he could have to serve up to the full remaining amount of his probation, which is three years. If his father has any brains, he will be monitoring each and every second of his son's life for the next three years and keeping as far away from the victim as possible.
