Rapist Gets Probation

(Auburn, New York) Teenager Christopher Phelps was sentenced by Cayuga County Judge Peter Corning to 10 years probation for the rape of a 15-year-old girl. Defense attorney Emil Rossi stated that Phelps, 16, has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and it was a factor in the sexual assault. On the other hand, Assistant District Attorney Jon Budelmann said that Phelps has "impulsivity issues" and there's no guarantee that he won't commit another sex crime.

If ever there were a sure bet, I'd say it's that Phelps will commit another sex crime.
