Is it normal for a father to get only 1 year in jail

I was adopted at the age of 3 , into a family of 11 people already. My adoptive parents had 9 adopted kids already. I am the second youngest and for 10 years my adoptive father sexually harassed me, almost every day at least once. He kissed me , shoved his tongue down my throat and if his tongue couldn't get through my clenched teeth it licked my face. He touched me and had me touch him, anywhere in our house, any chance he got he took. I told almost 2 years ago, I am 18 almost 19 in a few months. He not only abused me, he was accused by multiple others once I told. He only got 1 year, and the sick part is the judge was saying stuff like he is sorry, he lost his family, this man has suffered enough blah blah blah. The judge said this after he read my statement . My whole family was in the court room, I was sitting behind the sick Pedophile during all of this. Should I move on with my life and be happy or should I try to get him in jail longer.

    Unfortunately there is little real justice these days. People get less for murder. I think u should move on with your life and leave toxic family members behind.

    Guys, stop whining. Child abuse, left without care, will cause more abuse. It is a most common case in nearly every murderer. You need to go visit someone a couple times to make sure you are ok. Child Abuse will also activate some disorders, like Schizophrenia.

    Only 1 year? That's not right at all. He should be locked up forever, because as soon as he's free, he's gonna go back to molesting children. I would suggest you stay away from him.

    I am so sorry. I hate telling you that you just need to get therapy for what you have been through. What a sick, twisted, disgusting excuse of a man. I really hope that one day you will be able to forget all of that and have a wonderful, love-filled life.

    Get therapy and move on. Sadly I'm sure someone did the same to him that he did to you. Hopefully you break the chain and don't do it to someone else. Maybe he'll die soon and all our kids will be a safer.

  • The law isnt always fair infact most of the time its judgements are unfair which is why in situations like that you have to. give them their full punishment yourself.

  • move away as far as possible. this man has ruined your life and youre probably scared to death of other men. he shouldve gotten in jail for much more than a year.

  • i agree with others above me. he is now branded a pedophile, his sins have been brought to light and that is a huge punishment as well. so ha ha to him and all the very best to you, hope you can rise above it

    Sorry that happened to you but bravo for speaking out. Get away from them and start your own family. Don't let this tragedy define who you are. Good luck.
