The criminal considered the victim to be a child bride.
The United States doesn't have clean hands in regard to this. It was more common in previous centuries. Still, about 300,000 minors — the vast majority of them girls, a few as young as 10 — were legally married in the United States between 2000 and 2018.
Deporting this guy served no actual practical purpose. It does feed phoney holier than thou - ness.
The criminal was raping the 10 year old victim while he was dating his future wife.
The criminal raped the victim after he married the woman he had been dating.
There was no wedding ceremony with the 10 year old.
The criminal may have stated that culture accepts child brides as young as 12.
The victim was 10, not 12, when the rapes began.
The victim wasn't his child bride.
The criminal allegedly gave the victim $10 to shut up during the investigation of the rapes.
He's had a deportation order for 20 years.
That deportation order has been satisfied.
