A man who pleaded guilty to the rape and sexual assault of four teenage girls will avoid prison time after a New York state judge said time behind bars would be inappropriate.

Belter's attorney Barry Covert declined to comment. Prior to the sentencing, Belter read a statement to the victims in the case.

The girl, identified as M.M., was 16 in August 2018 when Belter raped her and "told her to stop being such a baby," court documents state. She told the court she focused on a plant in his room "as she cried during the attack." Steve Cohen, an attorney for one of Belter's victims, said his client was deeply disappointed in the sentence and vomited in the bathroom afterward."The judge had the opportunity to put out the fire but he chose to let it keep burning," she said. "I didn't expect to be as emotional as I was, but I just broke down."

"I kind of just went silent," she said. "He asked me if I could hear him. I just couldn't believe it. After he had been talking to me for awhile I kind of absorbed what he was saying, and I started to get sick." Doe was especially disheartened when she heard in media reports that Murphy said he prayed on the decision, and that as a lifelong Christian she has "trouble believing that they pray to the same God."

This Justice system in both Canada and the US is just whacky. Hopefully somebody finds this kid…… if you know what I mean.

Judges shouldn’t “pray” for a decision.

But of course. His parents are sleeping with the judge.

The legal system sucks!

WHAT!!!!!!

And I thought the Brock Turner trial was bullshit but leave it to America to up the ante.

And white men claim they’re being oppressed.

🤬

I notice that he's white..

Sounds about white.

This is our Canadian justice…no wonder the Americans talks about our justice and laugh at us…May I say more…unbelievable

WHAT!?😲 There's something seriously wrong with their justice system!😵

WHAT ?

Oh those poor girls.

all good things happening in the us🤮

Gaand marwa kar dega kya

I have no words to express my anger at this

WhitePrivilege

What the hell is going on in the USA court system? Why bother charging people when they just let them go even after pleading guilty to the crimes.

He pleaded guilty to four counts how did he not get jail?

If he was Black they would of Hung him.

God Bless America

WTF, unbelievable!!!

Disgusting

Obviously there wasn't enough evidence to convict beyond a reasonable doubt. The system worked. They can always try again if they can find the evidence

My heart breaks for his victims! It has always been a 2 tier system in the judicial sector, healthcare sector and politics. I am 59 and all my life it has been 'who you know,' we see it for people trying to get justice, getting needed healthcare or getting gov funding. uspoli

If this happened in Italy or Turkey or Taiwan, he would be spending 30 years in jail! cnni cnnbrk BBCWorld ItalyinUS trpresidency FBI nytimes WhiteHouse DOJPH

typical blue states judge. copped a plea deal. gross.

Yup, the wild USA. Anything goes, if you are white.

Hell no! Why is that justice? You know if he'd have a black man he would have gotten life.

Matt Gaetz has a job for him!

So it’s just like, “purge privileges” are a thing? Don’t sell loose cigarettes tho, huh? They’ll fvck you up 4 THAT🙄

White Pride.

Jesus what is wrong …those poor girls

judge feels sorry for his fellow rapist

He looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it. Then again, white dudes pretty well all look the same.

And people say “there is no such thing as white privilege” If you’re white and from a privileged background... there are a whole new set of laws for you, that the rest aren’t allowed to see!

There are probably 2 sentencing books down there…1 for white people and 1 for black people.

🤬

This is fucked up

check it out , when you are rich the laws don't apply to you , remind you of some one else , SNC-LAVALIN

Slam this character in jail .

Yeah pretty darn disgusting really! Would a young black man get off so easily? The worst part is that it's more than one victim - he's a serial offender and thus he is very likely to do this again after some of the heat has passed.

FFS

I wouldn’t t live in the US if they gave away houses for free and supplied free money for life . But I would if I was a rapist and wanted to shoot an AR at people .

Hopefully he doesn’t rape a granddaughter of the judge!

Of course not. He's white. 😡

he and rittenhouse are GOP poster kids...

the face of a predator rapist...

If I was a father to one of those girls, this guy wld receive a street justice and I wld gladly pay for the job to be done. Later I wld arrange a visit to judge too.

The justice system in the USA is broken. Really badly broken. Like a 1972 Ford Pinto, BROKEN!!

No prison time? How and why?

prison time would be inappropriate WTF!! Stay north of the border

Kyle's judge?

All of this took place in the Peoples Republic of New York so the lack of proper sentencing makes sense. If this had occurred in Texas or many other places he would have done a long stint in prison.

Canada is also kind to really bad people.

Good old NY Liberal Justice.

Reminds me of the judicial system in Canada.

I pray this jusge does not get any more cases. Specially this kinds.

Gross

I think USA should close all the court and let everybody go crazy

For white men, rape is assault with a friendly weapon.

Wonder how media always manages to get a 'nice guy' picture of these monsters in comparison to nonwhite criminals

How

This is why we make rope…

Someone call Kyle. He will take this trash out.

He’s ready for Canadian citizenship and a federal government job.

Yet if he was black.......... like we are seeing everyday, men have been jailed 40 to 60 years and found not guilty 40 years later.......... wtf is wrong down there.............
