Aww come on… he just needed to blow off a little steam. Give the guy a break. They are our betters and put their lives on the line everyday to keep us safe. What’s a little sexual assault here and there from the ones we owe our lives to? /dumbass apologist

This is an old story, and the guy was supposed to be sentenced on 09/20, but I can’t find any additional news articles about the case.

I’d like to know what the sentence was, since apparently he was facing 20 years on each count.

The big paper around here (near where Baggett lives) is the Richmond Times-Dispatch, which last reported on Baggett June 7th. This according to their own search engine, anyway.

The guy pictured in the article is exactly how I picture Dunphy. The linked article, not Harvey Keitel.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t indulge the slime.

In prison he’ll get to elicit all the sex he can handle.
