    I knew someone who raped both his daughters.

    He was prosecuted and took a plea deal, probably offered to spare them a trial. I think he did about ten years in prison, which I would argue is less punishment than he deserved.

        If I remember right, he would have been eligible for a life sentence for the original charges.

            Because he took a plea deal, which was probably offered so that they wouldn’t have to hold a trial. At least, that’s what I gathered from the information at hand
