Sorrento, Louisiana police chief Earl Theriot pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting an unconscious woman and then lying about it to the FBI.

Sadly, the court seemed more concerned about his lying to the FBI, than the actual assault that took place.

Theriot managed to escape jail time, while taking just a $2,500 fine and 2 years probation.  This sentence is more lenient than a small marijuana possession charge in most states.

Theriot believes that the “embarrassment” that him and his family have faced as a result of the scandal, and the loss of his job, is fair punishment for the crimes that he committed.

“It’s a matter that cost me my law enforcement career and brought embarrassment to my family and town of Sorrento,” Theriot said in court after the sentencing, according to WAFB9.

In court, Theriot apologized to his family and to the city, but did not apologize to the victim.

While on duty last November, Theriot received a call about an unresponsive woman who was passed out at a gas station.  Theriot responded to the call, placed the woman in the passenger seat of his patrol car and took her to his office.

On the way to his office, Theriot stopped at a liquor store and picked up a bottle of vodka, which he intended to share with the woman.  While in his car, he admitted to groping the woman and violating her while she was unconscious.

perks  , I mean jail time for that perp!

I guess losing his job is now comparable to being in jail? This man held a position of public trust and should be held to a higher standard than the average citizen while performing their duty. We give them authority to do things that the average person can't do. When that public trust is violated (especially while performing their duty) the penalty should be more severe than it would be for the average person. I am not talking about some accident here, this guy appears to have plotted this, he deserves jail time.

Oh I'm sure the victim blaming is up next. After all, if a woman doesn't get raped by a cop she should've just followed the law. And if she was following the law, it's still her fault for being out late at night.

They do it in literally every thread dealing with a criminal cop. Even if there's a misspelling or grammatical error in the article, they'll spend 20 pages focusing on that.

Here's what the FBI has to say:

http://www.fbi.gov/neworleans/press-releases/2014/former-sorrento-police-chief-convicted-of-making-false-statements-in-civil-rights-investigation

This guy sounds like a grade-z sleazeball.

And after admitting what he did, he gets probation?

http://www.justice.gov/usao/lam/news/2014/pr2014003.html

He needs to be in prison for 25 years, not on probation.

Screw marijuana sentencing, that's a red herring.  

This guy is a rapist and should be treated as one.

Yet he wasn't.  Why is that?

I'm not.  Someone stole my crown at the landromat.

He's right, tho.

A large portion of the middle class is in a sort of mass self-delusion about authority, government, and the rule of law.

They don't, at least from what I can get form this article: http://www.thecreole.com/?p=30896

He said it was consensual. She said she was drunk and it wasn't. The story in The Creole says she was in custody. CBS News says he was taking her home. http://www.wafb.com/story/26564697/ex-sorrento-police-chief-earl-theriot-sentenced-to-24-months-probation

I suspect they figured they couldn't get a guilty verdict if they charged him with rape or sexual battery.

The Creole also says the town paid a $100,000 settlement to a female officer who accused the chief of sexual harassment.

What else is scary is people actually "believe" in this country's "justice" system..........I'm amazed at how many people don't have a clue how fucked up it is:

Rapists get probation......
Child molesters get probation.......
Manslaughter gets you probation......
Murder gets you 3 - 7........
