Hundreds of Missouris 15-year-old brides may have married their rapists
District Court Judge Gregory W. Moeller peered down from the bench, aghast.
“I was horrified by the case,” the Idaho judge recalled recently.
In front of him, ready for sentencing, Keith Strawn — a father, 6-foot-3 with black-framed glasses the color of his boyish haircut — stood sad and penitent.
Strawn thought he had been doing right by his 15-year-old daughter, Heather, only to realize too late what a massive mistake he had made bringing her to Missouri — the easiest place in America for a 15-year-old to wed.
“I love my daughter very much and never would I do anything to intentionally harm her or put her in harm’s way,” Strawn implored the judge at his May 2016 sentencing inside Idaho’s Fremont County Courthouse. “At the time I thought I was making the right decision, but after looking back I realize that that was the wrong decision, and I regretfully made that decision in duress.”
But the judge was having none of it. The facts of the case were clear.

for HIM, not his daughter. She was 14 years old when she was fed liquor and raped by that sleezebag. He got a light sentence (in my opinion) for his crime. The father wants to get off without any punishment? He says he was "under duress". 
Your daughter was under duress, asshole. What you were under was the archaic belief that making her marry her rapist somehow makes everything OK is some "god's" eyes. I swear, these people are dumber than a bag full of hair. 
This is your typical backwater Trump supporter, and they actually think Trump has found god. The ignorance is so think you can cut it with a dull butter knife.
