The least this man deserves is deportation. Being here is not a right, but a privilege - one he's grossly abused.

I read the victim's statement to the court, the other day -- which the OP here links.

It is an account of terrible, long-standing and repeated circumstances. And she is asking the judge, who was on vacation when this deal was pushed through, to reconsider.

On the face of it, I don't see any reason this guy should be exempt from deportation.

There should be word for this phenomenon. "Oh young Bobby Quarterback can't possibly be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law - it'll wreck his career! And she was asking for it anyway..."

Side note: while researching this comment I googled 'football student rape' in an attempt to find the specific case I had in mind (in which the judge was bare-faced enough to say almost exactly the above). This turned out to be impressively naive of me.
