Former Deputy Accused of Raping 14-Year-Old Girl to Avoid Prison and Sex Offender Status

[left-of-center2012]

After striking a plea deal with prosecutors, a onetime Tennessee sheriff’s deputy who was accused of repeatedly raping a 14-year-old girl over a period of 20 months will serve no time in prison and does not have to register as a sex offender.

Brian O. Beck, 47, pleaded guilty to a single count of aggravated assault on Monday, according to court records filed in Shelby County Court. That plea was part of a deal between Beck and prosecutors, a member of the Shelby County District Attorney General’s Office confirmed to Law&Crime.

The judge in the case suspended Beck’s nominal four-year prison sentence and said the defendant would instead serve three years probation. If Beck fails to live up to the terms of his probation, he could be incarcerated for the aforementioned four-year term, according to the probation order itself and a statement from the prosecutor’s office. The order also requires Beck to serve 150 hours of community service, submit to random drug screening, and have no contact with the victim. Beck will also not have to register as a sex offender, according to the order.

The document says “the defendant is not likely again to engage in a criminal course of conduct” — at least “to the satisfaction of the Court” — and that
“the ends of justice and the welfare of society do not require that the Defendant shall suffer the penalty imposed by incarceration.”

6. Repeatedly over twenty months?

That qualifies him as a sexual predator in my book.

He's probably a member of the local Good Ole Boy Club.

10. Sickening!

And only 4 years if he was to serve a sentence? He has destroyed that young girl's life and there is a good chance he will do it again. I can't even say what I hope for his fate to be. And some people want to argue that we DON'T live in a rape culture?

There should be a mass uprising from the citizens calling for the judges removal. This is wrong.

16. Pedophile goes free.

20 months. Was the child 13 when Deputy McRaperson began sexually assaulting her?


Blend this reprehensible attitude toward rape with the new push to "eliminate rape" and the new abortion restriction that have no exceptions for rape or incest.
