A man who raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl at a church camp is avoiding serving any prison time because he is legally blind.

36-year-old Benjamin Lawrence Petty of Spencer, Oklahoma has been given 15 years of probation after he pleaded guilty to raping a young teenage girl who was attending the Falls Creek church camp in 2016.

The criminal complaint filed against Petty, who was working at the camp as a cook, claims that he tied rope around the girls wrists, raped her and then threatened her with physical harm if she told anyone.

The reason that Petty only got probation instead of prison is that his lawyers successfully argued that a legally blind man should not spend time in prison.

The big thing is Mr. Petty is legally blind and the parents (of the victim) live out of state and this little girl lives out of state and didnt want to make all the travels back and forth, Murray County Assistant District Attorney David Pyle explained The plea was negotiated with their permission.

Under the terms of his probation, Petty is required to wear an ankle monitor for the next two years and must register as a sex offender. He is also required to receive counseling to control his sexual urges.

Justice is just legally blind, not real blind.

yeah that is complete bullshit. apparently the parents of the child didn't want to traumatize her more so the plea is understandable in that regard but still bullshit tbh

Putting someone with a disability in with gen pop would be pretty messed up, but no jail time is ridiculous. Still, this is what the victim and her parents agreed to

Someone should make sure he's actually blind, just so he's not lying about the condition

I hate the mental image you're giving me but I can't imagine a literally totally completely blind man being able to capture, tie up and rape someone.

I agree that a blind person wouldn't make it in a regular prison but I'm also guessing this isn't the first time a disabled person has committed a serious felony and needs to be incarcerated.

I don't know where to put this guy but he needs to be separated from society. If not in regular jail then whatever shitty hole will have him.
