Re: This should provide an interesting discussion...
I believe there is a statue of limitations on how long he has to ask for parental rights. I'll have to ask H.
That said, no judge in their right mind would take this seriously. At least, that's what I hope.
Did I read correctly that the rapist only got probation?
I can see how the legal logistics of this could be... frustrating. Because by definition, a father who acknowledges a child and pays support has a right to visit his child. But.. this is something altogether different since it was forcible..
I hope they find a way to deny his visitation request. Personally, if I were the girl I would say to heII with the financial support--just get him the eff away from me and my kid.

I pray the judge in this case has enough sense to see how fvcked up this is and denies his request.
Okay, good, I was waiting for someone more articulate than me to point this out. Yes, he was found guilty of statutory rape. If it really were statutory rape (and let's face it, in the eyes of the law, it was statutory rape), then I think the mother has no case at all - he has a right to see his child. I find it appalling that they think he doesn't have rights.
The man plead to stuatory rape. No where in the article does it say that it was forcible rape.
Well, legally it was AT LEAST statutory rape, but it may have actually been more. People often plead to a lesser charge than what was committed.
My bad. I think I was assuming. Boy, I got everything wrong on this one.
