The millionaire heir to the fortune of the American chemical company DuPont has escaped prison after raping his three-year old daughter because a judge considered he wouldn't "fare well" in prison.

Robert H Richards IV pleaded guilty in 2008 to fourth degree rape, which usually carries a 15-year sentence in the US, but a Superior Court judge suspended his eight year sentence because she considered he would not "fare well" in prison, The News Journal reported.

Judge Jan Jurden ruled Richards needed treatment and noted that child molesters are often targeted by other inmates in prison. Richards won't serve jail time unless he violates his probation.

The rape case made headlines earlier this month after Richards' ex-wife filed a lawsuit seeking compensatory and punitive damages for assault, negligence, and inflicting emotional distress on his two children, after claiming he also abused their 19-month-old son around the same time.

In a news conference, her lawyer, Thomas Crumplar, said: “Making matters worse this self-admitted rapist and child abuser has not paid a single penny to these children for his crimes. There is no provision whatsoever for them for their future after they turn 18.”

According to his arrest warrant issued in December 2007, detective JoAnna Burton noted the girl told her grandmother she didn't want "daddy touching me anymore".

The child said Richards sexually abused her in her mother's bedroom and her brother's room in his $1.8 million mansion. Richards told her it would be "our little secret".

Richard’s wife told the police her husband admitted to abusing the girl but said it was an "accident" and promised "not to do it again", according to the warrant reportedly seen by the Delaware-based News Journal.

Richards was freed on a $60,000 bail while awaiting charges and was offered a plea to a single count of fourth-degree rape carrying no mandatory jail time, which he later accepted, admitting in court that he abused his own daughter.

Richards was placed on Level 3 probation for eight months, which requires weekly contacts with a probation officer, before Judge Jurden placed him on Level 2, which only requires a monthly visit with a probation officer.

Richards is unemployed and lives off his trust fund. He is a relative of the DuPont family and the son of Robert H Richards III, a partner at the Richards Layton & Finger corporate law firm.

that privilege :smh:

Are you ******* kidding me? :stoneface:

Son has to be smashing the judge.
 
Meanwhile in some ghetto in Anerica this Monday some 19 year old kid will get a 10 year mandatory sentence off some petty drug charge.

Gotta love the Murcian judicial system.

If he was a black millionaire he wouldve gotten 10 years. J/K
This story is truly disgusting. "He wouldnt fare well in jail" the judge says.
Ummm, excuse me. NOBODY FARES WELL IN JAIL. Its not a place built for comfort.

Meanwhile that little girl will be scarred foe life, because apparently this smart little girl knew what was happening to her.
I would slap the **** outta dude if I ever seen him. And at my arraignment I'll tell the judge I wont fare well in jail.
 
Soo many things wrong with story. I cant...[emoji]128532[/emoji]
 
I thought the point of jail was for criminals to be punished for the crimes committed against society? A man rapes his infant daughter, and people are concerned about his well being :smh: ? There needs to be an investigation into that judge ASAP.

Get her incompetent *** off the bench.

...but these children....hope they make it through this with little to no baggage!!!!
 
Lol

Just like the rich white kid Ethan Couch that mowed down that mom and her kid and then avoided jail time because they said he was too rich to understand there are consequences for his actions

This country is a joke yet we've brown kids doing 10yr stretches for non violent crimes

It's a slap in the face at this point
 
This means the check cleared. Justice system is a joke, laws don't apply to the rich. Affluenza strikes again.
 
Ugh disgusting POS sometimes I wish I had the power that dude would get the chair or even worse solitary confident for his sentence
