Honestly, I don’t understand judges who demand that their state is the prominent one in child custody cases. It happened to a friend of mine. Unknown to her, her ex-boyfriend from 10 years ago built a case that she was an unfit mother in California because he wanted primary custody of their son, who he had never supported in any way. She lived in Virginia. Somehow she lost her son and ended up moving to California and working in his school so she could see him more often.
A similar thing happened with Bodie Miller. His ex informed him she was moving to NY to go to grad school at Columbia. He decided he wanted their unborn child, although he had told her to end the pregnancy earlier. She had a court order to hand over the baby at birth and was considered by the California judge to have been “fleeing the state” to take the child away from his father! How can they be so one sided?
Why did that guy get only four years for the second girl he kidnapped and raped? The sentence for the first kidnapping and rape was bad enough, but he did it again!
Looks like Mirasolo plea-bargained both the 2008 and 2010 cases:
2008 case (caused the pregnancy): attempted third degree criminal sexual conduct, felony with penalty up to 5 years in prison or up to 1 year in jail, actual time served 6.5 months in jail
2010 case: third and fourth degree criminal sexual conduct, felony with penalty up to 15 years (third degree) and misdemeanor with penalty up to 2 years and/or fine of $500 (fourth degree), actual time served 4 years in prison
Apparently, there are plenty of prosecutors and judges willing to let sexual misconduct (up to and including rape) slide with punishment far lower than the possibilities listed in the law. Remember Brock Turner?
I thought Florida Also did this scummy thing. I would never speak poorly of a partner who was the father except in cases like these. Can you imagine the poor boy having to spend time with the man who raped the mother he loves.
