"A New York man who pleaded guilty to the rape and sexual assault of four teenage girls at his parents' home has avoided jail.
Christopher Belter, 20, faced a maximum of eight years in prison after pleading guilty in 2019 to felony charges of rape and sexual abuse.
But on Tuesday, Niagara County Court Judge Matthew Murphy sentenced Belter to just eight years of probation, according to WKBW. He must also register as a sex offender."
"I'm not ashamed to say that I actually prayed over what is the appropriate sentence in this case because there was great pain. There was great harm. There were multiple crimes committed in the case," Murphy said. "It seems to me that a sentence that involves incarceration or partial incarceration isn't appropriate, so I am going to sentence you to probation."

If there were 4 young girls who said no, and he forcefully had sex with them against their will, I would think 8 years in prison for each case, 32 years in prison would have been giving him a break.

He plead guilty. He admitted to it. It helps to read both articles I posted...so there's no "if" he did it. He did it.
The sentence that was up for the judge was 8 years in prison. He got 8 years probation.

SFC (Join to see) - I think Karma will catch up to him real quick. He's got 4 furious dads who are probably looking for a tree 100 yards from his front door and put a hot piece of metal right in his heart, and then he will get caught and go to prison, and it will be the judges fault.

The JUDGE said this. The judge had to 'pray' over whether or not to give this person prison time for ADMITTING TO RAPING FOUR GIRLS. FOUR! 15 and 16 years old all of them. He gets eight years probation.
This is why people don't report being raped/sexually assaulted. There's no justice.
