A Louisiana man has been sentenced to decades in prison and physical castration after pleading guilty to raping a teenager, according to a news release from the region’s district attorney.
Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, pled guilty to four counts of second-degree rape on April 17. Authorities began investigating Sullivan in July 2022, when a young woman told the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office that Sullivan had assaulted her multiple times when she was 14. The assaults resulted in pregnancy, and a DNA test confirmed that Sullivan was the father of the child, the district attorney’s office said. Sullivan had also groomed the victim and threatened her and her family to prevent her from coming forward.
…
A 2008 Louisiana law says that men convicted of certain rape offenses may be sentenced to chemical castration. They can also elect to be physically castrated. Perrilloux said that Sullivan’s plea requires he be physically castrated. The process will be carried out by the state’s Department of Corrections, according to the law, but cannot be conducted more than a week before a person’s prison sentence ends. This means Sullivan wouldn’t be castrated until a week before the end of his 50-year sentence — when he would be more than 100 years old.
What does physical or chemical castration even mean? And why is this a punishment when he is 100 years old?
Also, under current law there, no abortions are allowed unless life of mother is at risk, so they will castrate the rapist but force the mother to give birth?
What the actual fuck
Chemical castration is the lowering of hormones medically. Physical castration would by physical removal of the testes.
Welcome back to the dark ages. See you at next week’s drawing and quartering. It’s right after the hangings! Hopefully we get some real kickers!
Lowering hormones medically? Sounds like something Trans, and that’s illegal in the south.
I think it would only be illegal for minors.
Yee haw! What the fuck lol, if I was a hundred years old cutting off my balls would be kind of sexy lol,
Who likes lemons?
Who likes parties?
How dare you
Well, it’s because he’s an old fuck already so his heinous crimes result in him spending the rest of his worthless life in prison. If he’s lucky, he’ll die before he reaches 100.
I disagree with the idea behind that punishment…. But I hear you
Child rapists really test my principles regarding the death penalty and such, not going to lie.
But that’s the whole point of a fair justice system. It doesn’t respond to people’s personal feelings or emotional arguments. It is based on concepts like cruel punishments should not be meted out regardless of the circumstances.
Should the justice system be about vengeance? I don’t think it should. I don’t think an atrocious crime deserves an atrocious governmental response.
Definitely, our system of justice is really fucked up.
physical castration is removing his
dickballs.chemical castration … is basically using medication to block hormones that cause sex drives. (edit for technical accuracy as was pointed out below. Either way they’re taking medically-approved bolt cutters to his junk. and that’s never right at any age.)
At 100 years old?
Not defending or saying it’s right. It’s far from it.
but that’s what they mean by physical and chemical castration
I hear you, thanks I didn’t even realize that could be an actual punishment , especially in a state like Louisiana that doesn’t allow abortion in cases of rape
They’re not removing the dick they’re removing the testicle.
Apparently castration means a few things. In China the eunuchs were castrated and they typically had both penis and testicles removed.
Just learned that yesterday and kinda wish I didn’t.
At 5gat age just smack them with a baton and they will crumble into dust
Physical castration is being neutered, aka what we routinely due to male animals we don’t intend to breed.
Chemical castration is essentially being chemically neutered - hormone blockers. Whenever you see someone anti-trans talk about pro-trans people wanting to chemically castrate children that’s why - it’s the same drugs being used to achieve the same effect - blocking sex hormones.
Because castration in LA is only performed in the final week of the prison sentence (presumably because it can’t be reversed so as to allow time for appeals), he was in his 50s when convicted and was sentenced to 50 years + castration. So by the time he’s in the final week of his prison sentence he would be over 100 should he live that long.
Damn. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone just went on a rampage after being released because the government cut their balls off.
It’s insane there are people in this thread cheering them on, but I don’t expect much rationality or maturity from this generation at this point.
Louisiana is 100% the worst of the 50-nifty united states.
