44 Years, long enough?
South Dakota Lawmaker Gets 44 Years for Raping Foster Daughters in Egg Donor Scam
Do you think 44 years, or 11 years per incident is enough? I hate how his lawyer tries to throw a pitty party for him. Personally, I feel 11 years per incident isn't long enough, especially if he has yet to admit that what he did was wrong.

A former state lawmaker was sentenced Thursday to 44 years in prison for raping two foster daughters in phony medical examinations he said would help them sell their reproductive eggs to infertile couples.
Former state Rep. Ted Klaudt, 49, appears to have no sympathy for his victims or understand that what he did was wrong, Circuit Judge James W. Anderson said, turning aside a request for a shorter sentence.
...
Klaudt's lawyer had argued that his client's actions did not amount to rape because the girls consented to the exams. But prosecutors argued that the girls, who were ages 16 to 18 at the time, did not consent to what Klaudt was really doing.
He could have gotten a term of 100 years, but Anderson sentenced Klaudt to 11 years on each of four second-degree rape convictions, to be served consecutively. Klaudt can apply for parole in 22 years.
Klaudt's lawyer, Tim Rensch, said the sentence likely means Klaudt, who weighs more than 600 pounds and is in poor health, will die in prison.
"I think a man like that doesn't have that long to live," Rensch said after the hearing. "I don't know what the future holds for him, but he's not in good health."
The defense attorney had asked the judge to send Klaudt to prison for only four years because a longer sentence would amount to a life sentence. Klaudt could be rehabilitated, he said.
