Under current law, it doesn't sound like the case needed to be brought to court. In cases of rape,the law currently allows the court to require the father to pay child support without going to court or involving the mother.Reporting was accurate. Judge did grant a sex offender custody and visitation rights, that is not in dispute. Now, judge says he didn't know all the details, but reporter never claimed judge knew all the details. And by the way, all judge had to do is to look at the ages of the mother, child, and the sex offender, to figure out something wasn't right. Or did the judge not know even that? From the original reporting, it was clear to me that a prosecutor (state) were most at fault, because they were the ones bringing the case to court. Sex offender never asked for custody or visitations.
JMO, the judge and prosecutor may have known what they were doing, but they were ignorant of the law stating it wasn't necessary. Pls correct me if I'm wrong, but in these cases, the county collects the child support and credits it towards the public assistance the mother collects from the state/federal government. I could be wrong, but some of these counties are just pushing through as many of these cases as they can to generate revenue.
