There was outrage Wednesday when a Vermont judge handed out aa 60-day jail sentence to a man who raped a little girl many,many times over a four-year span starting when she was seven.


The judge said he no longer believes in punishment and is more concerned about rehabilitation.


Prosecutors argued that confessed child-rapist Mark Hulett, 34, of Williston deserved at least eight years behind bars for repeatedly raping a littler girl countless times starting when she was seven.


But Judge Edward Cashman disagreed explaining that he no longer believes that punishment works.


"The one message I want to get through is that anger doesn't solve anything. It just corrodes your soul," said Judge Edward Cashman speaking to a packed Burlington courtroom. Most of the on-lookers were related to a young girl who was repeatedly raped by Mark Hulett who was in court to be sentenced.


The sex abuse started when the girl was seven and ended when she was ten. Prosecutors were seeking a sentence of eight to twenty years in prison, in part, as punishment.


"Punishment is a valid purpose," Chittenden Deputy Prosecutor Nicole Andreson argued to Judge Edward Cashman.


"The state recognizes that the court may not agree or subscribe to that method of sentencing but the state does. The state thinks that it is a very important factor for the court to consider," Andreson added.


But Judge Cashman explained that he is more concerned that Hulett receive sex offender treatment as rehabilitation. But under Department of Corrections classification, Hulett is considered a low-risk for re-offense so he does not qualify for in-prison treatment.So the judge sentenced him to just 60 days in prison and then Hulett must complete sex treatment when he gets out or face a possible life sentence.


Judge Cashman also also revealed that he once handed down stiff sentences when he first got on the bench 25 years ago, but he no longer believes in punishment.


"I discovered it accomplishes nothing of value;it doesn't make anything better;it costs us a lot of money; we create a lot of expectation, and we feed on anger,"Cashman explained to the people in the court.


The sentence outraged the victim's family who asked not to be identified.


"I don't like it," the victim's mother,in tears, told Channel 3. "He should pay for what he did to my baby and stop it here. She's not even home with me and he can be home for all this time, and do what he did in my house," she added.


Hulett -- who had been out on bail-- was taken away to start his sentence immediately.

That's very creative. And would be less funny if it weren't true. This is one area where I'm sure all here would agree, child molesters should be used as live bait, bleeding of the back of a Shark Boat in Australia. (my 2 Cents)

I am in total agrement with ya there. However they don't deserve anything that elaborate. I like the fate portrayed at the end of the movie about the russian serial killer/rapist Citizen X. Where they walk him into a room that has a drain on the floor, the guard puts the handgun to the back of the head, then its lights out. That is what all these sick fucks should get. No Quarter!

How about Garry Glitter getting off rape charges against a 10yo and 11yo girl in Vietnam after paying their families US $2000 each!!! The girls then had their statements changed that it was their boyfriends they had had sex with. Gary is now facing lesser charges carrying sentences of just a few months in jail relating to licking and touching them inappropriately while they were in bed with him

No paedophile should be above the law. They all should be chemically castrated or killed.
