Seattle Supersonics Forward Given Only Fifteen Days, Small Fine, for Attempted Rape (posted 17 May 2001)
Meanwhile in Seattle, the Washington authorities have proven that they take violence against women seriously by giving a Seattle SuperSonics forward 15 days in jail for attempted rape [Salon.com]. He may get five days knocked off for good behavior. Meanwhile, the state assessed $500 of restitution to the survivor and a $5000 to itself. Why the Court thinks that the state’s pain and suffering is ten times greater than the survivor’s, I don’t know.
