Louisiana man charged with 100 counts of first-degree rape

Source: ABC News

A 71-year-old Louisiana man has been charged with 100 counts of first-degree rape over allegations of criminal sexual conduct involving minors.

The Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office tells news outlets the allegations against Harvey Joseph Fountain date to the 1970s.

The sheriff's office says deputies received a tip on April 1 that Fountain was sexually involved with juveniles, and an investigation found evidence supporting the allegations.

Fountain was arrested on 50 counts of first-degree rape on April 9. Days later, additional victims were identified -- the sheriff's office isn't saying how many -- and 50 more counts were added.

just with a lot less $$$$$.

This one, however, won't be able to buy off the justice system.

The double standard will be fully apparent when he gets sentenced. This one will get the sentence Epstein should have.

Damn him to hell.

If rape is a war crime and he weaponizes against women, he qualifies for being "disarmed," imo.

The penalty won't even come close to his crimes.
