Florida Serial Rapist Requests Castration to Avoid Life Sentence

[Jplaya2023]

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — A confessed rapist has agreed to be castrated in a plea deal that could save him from a life prison sentence.
Bobby James Allen pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of armed sexual battery and various other charges involving attacks that happened in 1998 and 1999. Allen filed a motion requesting castration in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet agreed to sentence Allen to 25 years' prison on Sept. 20 if has the procedure in the next eight days. If Allen does not go through with the operation, he faces up to life in prison.
"You understand that this procedure is the removal of your testicles?" Overstreet asked Allen.

Allen said he wanted to be castrated.

"I have spoken with all the victims," prosecutor Larry Basford told Overstreet. "They agree that this sentence punishes him and would deter him and others from similar acts."


Allen would be classified as a dangerous sexual offender and must serve every day of his 25-year sentence, prosecutors said.

Is this even legal? Ethical?

Is armed (or unarmed, for that matter) rape legal? Ethical?

won't stop anyone using their hands to molest

That or some kind of strap on. If the person gets enjoyment out of making another suffer and not just the sexual factors, I don't see this as being that big a deterrent. Just stick him in prison so he gets a taste of what he did or, like the others said, "off with his (little) head".

 

[Kritish]

I've suggest that we give sex offenders automatic life sentences for years now.

 

[Noir]

Why not do this to all serial rapists?

Damn....

Screw that, let's just shoot them in the head.

 

[Master Chief]

Man, I'd take the life sentence.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

His victims agree? Psh, yeah right. I'd want his ass locked up in jail with him.

 

[WolfCypher]

Funny thought...they catstrate him...and STILL give him a life sentence!

Wah wah waaaah!

 

[hammy]

Well, castration plus 25 years is pretty close.

You realize he'll still go to prison for the next 25 years, right? Even after he loses his, he'll get his.

I'm down with it. Punishment should fit the crime
