An Elburn Police Officer's paid vacation has come to an end after he pleaded guilty to repeatedly raping a child from the time she was seven until she was 17. However, before this monster admitted to these unspeakable crimes, he forced his victim to take the stand and testify.
Nearly 20 minutes into the poor child's testimony, David Wright, 54, pleaded guilty. Last year, the Free Thought Project reported on Wright's arrest, noting that in spite of being arrested, he was still being paid. In 2015, Wright was charged with
33 felonies that carried a minimum prison sentence of 143 years and a maximum of 648 years.
"Quite frankly, I think 500 years sounds reasonable," Kane County Circuit Judge D.J. Tegeler told Wright. However, thanks to the fact that
Wright was an upstanding member of the police department for 24 years, he was given a sweet plea deal and will be out of jail in less than 20 years.
According to the
Daily Herald, during opening statements Monday, prosecutors recalled the first time Wright raped the girl — when she was 7 and in a bathroom at a birthday party — he warned her by saying, "This is gonna hurt."
Instead of having the girl's parents testify as to what their daughter went through, which is standard in incidents such as this one, Wright forced his victim to recall what he did to her.
During her horrific recount of Wright's repeated attacks, after this monster made her relive the nightmare in an apparent attempt to force her to suffer more, Wright changed his plea.
Comment: Through the millennia, families have been multi-generational. From this perspective, Americans are returning to societal parameters that protected all family members from need and desperation. From an educational and financial point of view, there are most definitely flaws in the system and a manipulation of circumstances to reward the rich and penalize the poor.
