This bus driver admitted to raping a 14-year-old girl who reported the crime. The judge, Mr. James P. McClusky, stated he gave Shane M. Piche the lower-level designation because “he had no prior arrests and there was only one victim.”
Why is this important?
Shane M. Piche, 26, was sentenced on Apr. 25 to 10 years probation and will have to register as a Level 1 sex offender after entering a guilty plea to third-degree rape in February. Judge James P. McClusky's verdict that Piche had no other prior arrests and there was only one victim is unacceptable, unjust, and despicable in every way. The punishment does not fit the crime of rape for this poor young 14-year-old girl and what she endured. She deserves justice and assistance for the after-effects she has and will continue to endure due to this atrocity.
The people of the United States demand a new and fair trial for this 14-year-old girl in an appeal to US Court ASAP!
