Follow the link to see the headline; also the entire story is interesting for other reasons:

20-year-old New York man who pleaded guilty to raping 4 teen girls will face no jail time

A New York man who pleaded guilty to rape and sex abuse of four teenage girls will face no jail time. ... Christopher Belter, 20, raped and sexually assaulted four teenage girls at his family’s home in Lewinston between 2017 and 2018. ... Some of Belter’s rape victims were in the courtroom for his sentencing when Niagara County Court Judge Matthew Murphy handed down his sentence of eight years’ probation.

It seems these were genuine rapes, i.e. not statutory rapes -- I imagine he knew the girls.

Also, it was a plea, so there must have been some agreement beforehand -- as I said before: most Americans would be shocked at how prosecutors and courts operate, e.g. the large fraction of cases resolved via plea deals where the defendant agrees to plead guilty, often to a lesser charge, in exchange for a lenient sentence.

Later:

Attorney Steve Cohen (ed: probably a Jew), who represents one of the victims, said he is outraged with the sentence and believes Belter is facing “zero consequences” for his actions. ... “[Belter] is privileged. He comes from money. He is white. He’s being sentenced as an adult, appropriately. And for an adult to get away with these crimes without doing jail time is unjust,” Cohen said.

Given what I read and am assuming about the rapes, I don't disagree about the sentence -- but why explicitly tell us he's white, and use a loaded term like 'privilege'? -- this sort of rhetoric and thinking will have grave consequences for Whites in the future.

Oh, and BTW, at the following link is some info indicating Belter could be a Jewish surname: link.
