I'm not 100% sure on this, but this does look like a stupid ruling.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho judge has ordered a 19-year-old man not to have sex with anyone before he marries as part of his sentencing for statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl.

Judge Randy Stoker sentenced Cody Duane Scott Herrera of Twin Falls to five to 15 years in prison, but he suspended the sentence for a one-year rider program. If the unmarried Herrera completes the program, he’ll be released on probation, which requires celibacy unless he weds. Herrera received the sentence in 5th District Court.

Stoker said the probation condition is needed because Herrera told presentence investigators he’s had 34 sexual partners. “If you’re ever on probation with this court, a condition of that will be you will not have sexual relations with anyone except who you’re married to, if you’re married,” Stoker told Herrera.

Herrera in March pleaded guilty to statutory rape of the 14-year-old girl. “It was his intent from the beginning to take what he wanted from my 14-year-old child — her virginity,” the victim’s mother told the court.

1. He should be in prison for statutory rape.

Not let out to manipulate more women and then lie to the judge. He should be tested for STDs, too.

2. Well..if he fucks someone other than his wife

he's fucked...seems okay to me.

3. Yeah, I can't see how this is even remotely legal.

I'll be shocked if this isn't thrown out on appeal.

6. Probably not enforceable but probably legal.

Conditional release and/or probation can put very strict rules of who, how and when you associate with people. The person is at large at the whim of the courts and probation officer.

The other alternative is to spend one's time in prison. Where they would have even fewer liberties.

I say unenforceable. Unless the guy is a fucking moron. Which is probably the case.

4. How can that be enforced?

And does the order, which refers to "any person," also preclude sex with himself? Is he forbidden to play pocket pool? The guy is a hound dog, but it's a dumb order.

5. Judges have pretty wide latitude on probation terms

They can bar any behavior or possession of goods that they think can lead to a greater chance of the offender violating that probation.

Not having sex is an odd one, but probably within their power if the offenders crimes were sexual n nature and/or they used a defense of sex addiction or something similar.

I have seen a judge order a person who used as a defense for robbery that he had a gambling problem not be in possession of any cards or dice and not watch any kinds of sporting events or visit any gambling or sports websites.

I have seen a judge order a person convicted of fraud related to working as a contractor to not possess and tools that could be used for construction work.

It's common for habitual drunk drivers to be told not to drink, have alcohol or sometimes even poses a car.

7. I'm not OK with this. Tying intercourse with marriage is patriarchal bull.

Punish him for being a child-rapist, for sure, but not that way.

11. It is Idaho after all.

Everything, pretty much, is based on the mormon sharia law.

8. Applaud the intent, but it's kind of a silly ruling...

the kind of thing you'd expect from redneckistan.

9. I thought this...

...was going to be about Trump. The story is incredibly stupid.

10. What constistutes sex?

I can think of a lot of activities that aren't sex but might be 'sex.'
