Sexual Assault = 15-25 years in the slammer! Don’t wimp out, Humboldt Courts! Grow a pair, and show this goof the downside of rape!
15-25 how about death by the woman he rapped!!!!!!
In every photo of this man He is laughing, All you see is teeth. What could be mentally wrong with this person?
Because he knows he’ll be out of jail in a matter of hours and knows that the Humboldt court system will give him informal probation.
It’s crazy eyes from Orange is the New black.
He will get 3-5 tops and the witness will be put thru it Lotta pressure not to prosecute.
Is he winking at camera?did he fight? Is this a setup?
