The investigation showed that the young child “suffered broken bones, severe bruising, and was the victim of sexual violence,” according to a press release

A 13-month-old child was allegedly raped and physically abused by a Pennsylvania police offer.

Steven Kyle Cugini, a member of the York City Police Department, was arrested without incident on Tuesday, April 16, following an investigation by the Pennsylvania State Police, Lykens Station, and Lykens Criminal Investigation Unit.

There should absolutely be due process. But if convicted, then straight to the chair

I find it so strange the US still has the death penalty and to read people on lemmy advocate for it surprisingly frequently, despite its rather progressive user base.

That’s the problem with living in a society that has a death penalty… it leads to one having thoughts about how it should be effectively used.

Y’know, since we have it. Can’t let it go to waste.

I’m in the US and I’m not for the death penalty. I think states (Texas, Georgia, etc) have a twisted judicial system and get it wrong too often.

This sort of case is what stops me from full throated opposition. This person should not exist.

They should still get time to appeal though. What if they shouldn’t have been convicted

Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It’s time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to “where were they when I was in school” will earn you the right to find another forum.
