When did raping minors become a "nonviolent, low-level offense"?
Alabama Man Won't Serve Prison Time for Raping 14-Year-Old
An Alabama man convicted of raping a teenage girl will serve no prison time.
On Wednesday, a judge in Athens, Alabama, ruled that the rapist will be punished by serving two years in a program aimed at nonviolent criminals and three years of probation.
The program is aimed at "redirecting the lives" of nonviolent, low-level offenders who are "likely to maintain a productive and law-abiding life as a result of accountability, guidance and direction to services they need,"

of course, in AL, black rapists aren't "likely to maintain a productive and law-abiding life", but whites are.
Jim Crow still in effect in the Confederacy and other red states.

Let alone doing it on 3 separate occasions?
In September, a jury in Limestone County, in north central Alabama, found Austin Smith Clem, 25, guilty of raping Courtney Andrews, a teenage acquaintance and his then-neighbor, three times—twice when she was 14, and again when was she was 18.
Clem's defense attorney did not call any witnesses at trial, according to AL.com. After less than two hours of deliberation, the jury returned guilty verdicts against Clem on one count of first-degree rape and two counts of second-degree rape.
hopefully someone higher up the chain overturn this bull and allow this clown some good old loving jail time
Well that certainly doesn't seem right
How do you rape the same person 3 times on different occasions? Something aint right. I can see a statutory rape charge, but forcible rape? No, not three times unless the chick was invalid like some here.
