Man who tied up, sexually assaulted 14-year-old girl will serve no jail time

Source: TRIBUNE MEDIA WIRE

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A former Virginia high school student who sexually assaulted a 14-year-old girl will serve no active prison time, a judge ruled Wednesday. Logan Michael Osborn, 19, pleaded guilty in September to the charge of having carnal knowledge of the girl. At the time, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with eight years suspended.

In early January, Chesterfield Circuit Court Judge T.J. Hauler decided to pause the two-year term, saying that he wanted more time to review the case. On Wednesday, he declined to reinstate the original sentence.

“The family is disappointed that the defendant will not serve any active incarceration for the brutal attack on the victim,” Chesterfield prosecutor Erin Barr told the Richmond Times-Dispatch. “They do not believe justice has been served and shared concern for community safety and future potential victims.”

Osborn, then a student at Cosby High School, sexually assaulted the 14-year-old girl after they attended a school play together. Prosecutors said Osborn went on a walk with the girl, who didn't know the Cosby campus, and when the path ended at a fence, Osborn became aggressive.

Just your daily reminder that this is the same state that gave SIX(!) life sentences to a 15-year-old for armed robbery (and yes, he's still serving today)

Once by the neanderthal who sexually abused her.

The second time by the judge.

In 2016, he rejected the state of Virginia's request to deny the release of convicted rapist Dana William.

William had been convicted of raping his ex-girlfriend and accused of raping several other women.

Within weeks of his release, William had murdered his ex's father, strangling him to death, and abducted her mom. In January 2016, he killed himself as police closed in. His ex's mom was found dead nearby.

over that case seems more to do with the prosecutor as I quote
"The judge (not Hauler) who accepted William’s rape and abduction plea agreement in 2013 clearly didn’t have much choice. The court documents show William called his victim repeatedly from jail, “trying to get her to change her story.

The victim didn’t want to testify, even though there was plenty of evidence. She apparently didn’t even want him convicted of rape.

Lacking that crucial evidence, the prosecution and the defense agreed to a 40-year sentence with 38 years suspended."

He should be taken from this court to a place of execution, and hanged by the neck until dead.

People like are literally the reason why we have prisons. To keep dangerous people away from regular folks, and hope that maybe they can learn to behave.... I guess they gotta keep those prison cells free for the folks on life or near life sentences for drug charges...

This looks like a totally open and shut case. The justice which occurred is what they did in this state in the past and they still do it today. Hang the judge for being CORRUPT and a son of satan........
