A former Billings Senior High School teacher who pleaded guilty to raping a 14-year-old student who later killed herself has been sentenced to 30 days in jail by a judge who said the victim was "older than her chronological age" and "as much in control of the situation" as the teacher.
District Judge G. Todd Baugh sentenced Stacey Dean Rambold to 15 years in prison for sexual intercourse without consent, with all but 31 days suspended. He gave Rambold credit for one day already served, The Billings Gazette reported.
The girl's mother repeatedly screamed, "You people suck!" and stormed out of the courtroom Monday.
Seriously? a child who IS UNDER THE AGE OF CONSENT, who is being controlled by a man who is in a position of authority over her, who was 49 years old at the time, was 'as much in control of the situation?'
